    Basically we all know what Hitler is responsible for, but not everyone Sharon. He was the prime minister of Israel up to a couple of years ago, he supported keeping Palestinians behind the lock and key.

    He gave the signal to many masscares of Palestinians, showing no remorse. Before he died he was wanted by the United Nations for war crimes.

    I say 50/50.

    Well interesting debate:

    Hitler had a lot of good points and if he didn't lose the war well he'd be the hero and savior that took Europe out of the 1930s recession.

    Sharon: Well Sharon defended Israel against attacks from eygpt and middle east.

    What good points, took Europe out of recession? are you mad, he destroyed half the countries in Europe never mind their economy?

    Wow. This thread features all kinds of fail.

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Before the crash, 1.25 million people were unemployed in Germany. By the end of 1930 the figure had reached nearly 4 million, 15.3 per cent of the population. Even those in work suffered as many were only working part-time. With the drop in demand for labour, wages also fell and those with full-time work had to survive on lower incomes. Hitler, who was considered a fool in 1928 when he predicted economic disaster, was now seen in a different light. People began to say that if he was clever enough to predict the depression maybe he also knew how to solve it.[/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]By 1932 over 30 per cent of the German workforce was unemployed. In the [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1933 Election campaign, Adolf Hitler promised that if he gained power he would abolish unemployment. He was lucky in that the German economy was just beginning to recover when he came into office. However, the policies that Hitler introduced did help to reduce the number of people unemployed in Germany.[/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]These policies often involved taking away certain freedoms from employers. The government banned the introduction of some labour-saving machinery. Employers also had to get government permission before reducing their labour force. The government also tended to give work contracts to those companies that relied on manual labour rather than machines. This was especially true of the government's massive motorway programme. As a result of this scheme Germany developed the most efficient road system in Europe.[/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Adolf Hitler[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] also abolished taxation on new cars. A great lover of cars himself, and influenced by the ideas of Henry Ford, Hitler wanted every family in Germany to own a car. He even became involved in designing the Volkswagen (The People's Car).[/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hitler also encouraged the mass production of radios. In this case he was not only concerned with reducing unemployment but saw them as a means of supplying a steady stream of Nazi propaganda to the German people.[/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Youth unemployment was dealt with by the forming of the Voluntary Labour Service (VLS) and the Voluntary Youth Service (VYS), a scheme simil[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ar to the Civilian Conservation Corps introduced by Franklin D. Roosevelt in the United States. The VYS planted forests, repaired river banks and helped reclaim wasteland.[/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Adolf Hitler[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] also reduced unemployment by introducing measures that would encourage women to leave the labour market. Women in certain professions such as doctors and civil servants were dismissed, while other married women were paid a lump sum of 1000 marks to stay at home.[/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]By 1937 German unemployment had fallen from six million to one million.

    Sharon was a scum bag and a cold blooded man who indeed did dog whistle awful things including the outright crimes against humanity that went on in Hebron, but he's no Hitler.

    In my experience you're not really allowed mention Hitler here.
    Hitler wasn't a good man or anything but peoples view that he was the evilest person of all time ect is absolute crap. An awful lot of crap is out there regarding Hitler and what went on during WWII. Gas chamber and what not, I won't get into it because people don't want to believe that there is no evidence to support a lot of "history".
    If the Germans had of won the war I think we'd all have a very different view on things to be honest.
    Just my 2 cents.

    Please list the crap that historians say about Hitler.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Sharon may have been accessory to the murder of thousands of innocent, and not so innocent, people but Adolf Hitler (or AH as we call him for short) was directly involved in killing millions.

    Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Pinochet, ...
    All of them have killed crazy amounts of people.

    Not defending the Israeli government, they do have a lot to answer for.

    The holocaust happened, mate, the only thing distorted about it in History is that it was really only the jews that suffered. forget the commies, handicapped, gypsies and infirmed...

    Of course we would have a different view if Germany won the war. And what a ****ed up horrible Europe that would be

    Just a mode note.
    Denying the holocaust is a jailable offence in Germany and some other countries.

    Stalin ftw.
    He was probably directly responsible for most deaths caused by any ruler, at least 20 million. Some estimates put it as high as 60 million deaths,

    Yeah i would agree with you there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 238 ✭✭Doublin


    ok, to put the debate on a slightly different slant -

    Whats the difference between the Israel state and Nazi Germany in terms of:

    - Ethnic Separation/Superiority.
    - Self Justification - Self Interests over Worldwide opinion i.e. the idea that you are a victim & the world are against you.
    - You must take the offensive against your enemies by force.
    - You are the chosen people.

    Just some of the things that spring to mind immediately when looking at both.

    I'll see your Stalin and raise you a Mao. Hitler wins for deliberate deaths though (he killed far more than just Jews).
