Bizarre Nazi Twins in Brazil 

This is one of the oddest stories I have seen in a long time, and I am curious to find out how much truth there is in it:



The theory is that Nazi doctor Josef Mengele used a small Brazilian town for genetic experiments, and the proof is in the high number of twins being born (in in 5 pregnancies), with most of them being blonde and blue-eyed!
For years scientists have failed to discover why as many as one in five pregnancies in a small Brazilian town have resulted in twins – most of them blond haired and blue eyed.

But residents of Candido Godoi now claim that Mengele made repeated visits there in the early 1960s, posing at first as a vet but then offering medical treatment to the women of the town.
More at the Telegraph.
