During World War II Nazi scientists tried to train dogs to talk

In the beginning of the 1900’s there was a general assumption (especially in Germany) that several species of animals can be taught to understand and even talk with humans. This was the core idea of Hundesprechschule Asra / Tiersprechschule Asra (or in English: Asra talking school for dogs /animals ). During the Second world war Nazi scientists were interested in teaching dogs to talk and understand How can they communicate in a much wider range with humans. They were also trying to find out how that could be implemented in the battlefield in order to assist the fighters.
