Ohio professor now revealed as nation maker in war coup
A Columbus based Ohio professor Dr Herbert A Miller formerly of Oberlin is portrayed as the architect behind a wartime plan to reconfigure eastern Europe. The scheme, conceived in 1918 at Camp Sherman, imagined a chain of small nations from Lithuania to Albania and led to the Mid-European Union. Miller coordinated Slavic groups with Paderewski and Masaryk, culminating in declarations from Carnegie Hall and Independence Hall.
