    I once saved lots of pictures of Hitler on my friends computer. Then one day she and her aunty were looking through her pictures and suddenly loads of pictures of Hitler popped up. She wasn't too pleased with me for that one..

    Was he in the nip? I could certainly understand her reaction if so.

    How come people who love dogs, like Hitler, often turn out to be mass murderers?

    From what I heard it all started around 1901 when Hitler recieved this bear as a present http://www.vam.ac.uk/__data/assets/image/0009/248868/teddy-bear,-steiff,-germany,-1904-05,-copyright-victoria-and-albert-museum.jpg
    and which was later robbed, by what he thought was a jewish kid, years of resentment built up and he one day vowed revenge

    Shame he chose a different line of work in the end.... For zee juden mein Freund! :p

    They just don't understand. When you're a new leader, ya gotta throw your weight around a bit at the start. Otherwise no one takes ya seriously!

    Things would have settled down after a few years. Sure he'd already started visiting all the neighbours to introduce himself. :)

    One good thing that Hitler did was ensuring that the Toothbrush moustache would never again be in fashion.

    I've often wondered if that would still be in fashion if he didn't have one. Would there be loads of little track suited hitler moustaches walking around.

    It's about the Genocide of the Germans in World War 2.

    Something we never here about.

    Worth a watch. But warning it's quite gruesome and disturbing.

    Genocide by who, the Russians seeking revenge? Possibly, but an outworking of human nature.

    Dresden was a despicable act in my opinion.

    With that said, The West had a large hand to play in rebuilding Germany, even if initially just West Germany.

    How Hitler got his strange moustache: Fuhrer's facial hair went from handlebar to toothbrush so he wouldn't get gassed in WW1
    • Adolf Hitler had favoured a longer handlebar moustache with twisted ends
    • In WW1 he had to trim the moustache to get a better seal on his gas mask

    There's a book called "Amongst the dead cities" by A C Grayling. He's a philosopher but also into history. He examines the allied bombing campaign and then looks at it from an ethical perspective so see if it can be justified.

    Spoiler: No it couldn't

    History teacher who was a catholic priest made a declaration that 'the only thing Hitler did wrong was that he stopped short at six million'.

    Hitlers greatest crime has been ignored by the history books but should never be forgotten. He's the only man in history to single handedly destroy a perfectly good facial hair style.

    Loads of mustaches went out of style though, my guess is it wouldn't have been very common at all, then brought back to life by hipsters over the last decade.

    One man does not alone make a difference and plenty of German people alive or else heavily influenced by those that were are still alive today.

    Given that the people involved in planning that campaign had lived through the Blitz it's very hard to see how they could justify it even at the time.


    Also that campaign directed bombers away from real war wining tasks.

    Tirpitz was just one ship. But it's existence more or less kept several battleships and aircraft in the Atlantic when they could have been far more useful in the Pacific. Could have more bombing missions against.

    Lots of other tactical and strategic missions were suspended if favour of generic carpet bombing. German output increased until 1944 and it was raw materials shortages that was the main problem. Aerial mining of seas and rivers like the Rhine and Danube would have reduced this sooner.

    B29's dropping mines at sea wasn't sexy. But it pretty much stopped raw material imports and naval and troop movements around Japan. And at far lower risk than bombing cities.

    Wonder how some of the jokers here would react on seeing some of the work carried out by the nazis in the east aside from visiting the extermination camps maybe read up about Khatyn(Belarus), Navahrudak,Bila Tserkva,Nikolaev
    Dnipropetrovsk to name but a very few,perhaps would change their tune somewhat

    Most of the participants in the killings in the east were not hardened troops they were everyday people teachers, bakers, farm workers, factory workers they took to killing like a duck to water. What makes you think that people from the same walk of life in this country would not take to it too if it was required.

    His street scenes and architectural drawings/paintings are pretty good alright. Certainly not the "utterly crap at art" he's since been accused of. His portraits were awkward mind you. Then again he never got much if any training so for a rank amateur he was pretty good. I knew a chap who had one. A street scene of somewhere in Bavaria IIRC. When they come up for sale they don't cost that much, well a few grand kinda thing, maybe ten at the top end. Clearly neo nazis don't have much cash to drop.

    The horror visited upon the German people and those who were considered collaborators after the guns officially stopped firing was unreal. Nigh on a million German soldiers never came home. Pretty much every german woman was raped, often repeatedly and they started with ten year old girls all the way up to grannies. Many are the stories of women jumping into rivers and lakes to drown themselves and their children. The Russians were by far the worst for it, followed by the French. The British and the Americans were far less prone to that sorta thing. These sort of reprisals went on throughout wherever the Germans had wartime influence. Again it was worse in the East. Jews who had survived the Holocaust didnt exactly find open arms welcoming them back either. We generally only get a few of the narratives that make up part of the bigger picture, but all in all ugly business that war. On all sides. Uglier than the slaughter of the Great War IMH. And that's before we get to what was going down in the far east. What the Japanese did to the Chinese people alone beggars belief.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Yep. We all reckon we'd not be that guy, but I guarantee that a few on here who are lovely people today would be lining up to butcher others if they were around back then. The rest would either try to ignore it, or help in a roundabout way and a few would resist. People forget that Germany was an incredibly sophisticated culture that had a huge role in European science and culture for centuries. Unsophisticated savages they were not. They also had one of the most integrated Jewish population in Europe and had been pretty safe place to live for Jews. Certainly compared to places further east where pogroms were a national sport. Even Germany's neighbour Austria was far worse. To the degree that when Germany marched into the place the level of open attacks and killings of Jews in broad daylight freaked the Nazi command out thinking this would be really bad publicity(they were still thinking along those lines to some degree at that stage).

    The Japanese were simply animals the rape of Nanking and numerous other stories like it are quite literally evil, yes I agree all in all it was a war of annihilation total war as they call it

    He apparently considered suicide over a Jewish girl, a British soldier spared his life and he launched the first anti-smoking campaign.

    A gas man, give him is Jew....:D

    On a more serious note, there was a docu on the BBC last week about atrocities commited by the Czechs against civilian German populations at the end of WWII.

    Apparently, it is the largest ever civilian displacement in Europe but is never mentioned i.e German civilians essentially kicked out of Poland and Czechoslovakia.

    Anyone else see it?

    Even as a boy in ops photo, he puts on
    an air of grandiosity and superiority compared to the other boys in the photo. His dad used to beat him and the mother molly coddled him, growing up with a mixed up view of who he was.

    I read a few theories on his sexuality which were mental but I don't think proven. His relationship with the niece Geli who apparently committed suicide (although I believe he killed her) was weird!
