    Thanks for helping me to post a question, even if it's a fuzzy, controversial one. Hitler was raised a Roman Catholic, but abandoned practice in his youth. While he expressed anti-religious views in later life, he never formally renounced Catholicism.

    I smiled when I read the question, my father is a big aficionado of 60s music and culture and I remember him telling me this random fact.

    I'll stay on the 60s theme and ask what was The Beach Boys first number 1 single in the USA?
