The fiction about Hitler putting the Stooges on a hit list because of YOU NAZTY SPY! (1940) saw its outrageous origin in this issue of the supermarket tabloid. Borrowing from & abridging a nationally syndicated article about that short subject by Dr. Don Morlan, the tabloid slapped on its own misleading headline, Why Hitler Hated The Three Stooges, creating a myth when readers took in the headline and ignored the article's actual topic and text. Sadly, later authors exaggerated the tale further.
