Well, Hitler was a dog person. Loved his Alsatian, Blondi.
The question on my mind is whether the intelligent German dogs could stand up to the cyborg Collie the Russians were working on.

It's a good thing they weren't allies, because then that would open the door to educated dogs that could read, write, and talk, AND the added thread of cyborg strength.

Hmm...looks like this was the lost plan for one of the cybernetic creatures in one of the Wolfenstein games

Sounds like the scientists were just chasing cars with this one.

(I can't be the only person on badmovies.org of all places that thinks this would make a awesome movie)

This thread's goin' to the dogs.

Rev. Powell · May 30, 2011, 07:49:11 PM

You guys are being a little ruff, don't you think?

P.S. Criswell, I agree that the idea of talking Nazi dogs could be adapted into a decent b-movie.

Strangely enough, creating a race of talking dogs also involves building a gigantic raping machine. It's his solution to everything.
