Tom Cruise and his lawyers have launched an all-out campaign attempting to link magazine publisher, Bauer Media with Nazism and Hitler worship.
The website has done shocking in-depth investigation of how the 51-year-old's counsel turned to this bizarre tactic and how they've done it many times in the past for him and Scientology, Radar Online reported.
The first accusation was made by Cruise's lawyer, Bert Fields in a letter to Bauer attorneys in December, 2012, obtained by the website.
In the letter, Fields wrote that this relentless defaming of Cruise and his Church is less surprising now that it is discovered Bauer's long and disgraceful record of religious hatred and bigotry.
This record goes back to the 30s and 40s, when Bauer Publishing was a fawning admirer of Hitler and the Nazis, publishing glamorous portraits of Der Fuhrer and they also published vicious caricatures of Jews that were very popular in Germany at the time.
Similarly, the website has learned that Cruise's attorney, Fields, has raised the specter of Nazism many times while defending Cruise and the Church of Scientology, as a whole.
Former Scientologists claimed that the practice of using Nazism as a diversionary tactic is a common strategy utilized to deflect criticism.
