A new report reveals that Nazis tried to train dogs to talk, read and spell
 during World War II in an attempt to build an army of 'fearsome' speaking 
dogs, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Adolf Hitler created a special dog school in the 1930s to teach the canines
to  talk, and apparently it worked, according to the report.
One dog allegedly uttered the words "Mein Fuhrer" when asked who
Hitler was  and another "spoke" by tapping the letters of the
alphabet with its paws.
The "Wooffan SS" experiment was uncovered by Dr. Jan Bondeson, a
senior  lecturer at Cardiff University.
"There were some very strange experiments going on in wartime Germany
with  regard to the dog-human communication," Bondeson told the Daily
Telegraph.
"Hitler was himself interested in the prospect of using educated dogs
in the  war effort, and he advised representatives of the German army to
study their  usefulness in the field," he continued.
According to the report, one of the dogs speculated about religion, learned
 foreign languages and wrote poetry.
he dog school was based in Leutenburg and was led by headmistress
Margarethe  Schmitt. The school continued throughout World War II.
