Hitler on Wikipedia

Scanlas The 2nd

Anyone else find reading about Hitler fascinating? I've been reading about him on wiki, the bits about his childhood, parents and grandparents I find especially intriguing. I tried reading Mein Kampf online but it's hard to read, the translation doesn't seem very good.

Chamone MF

Read a bit of mein kampf, crazy, full of hate and it seemed to have an air of anti-semitism.

Logical Fallacy

After seeing this photo you will find it hard to take Hitler seriously.

Bar the whole genocide issue he is an interesting character, excellent orator and brilliant politician but terrible military commander.

A lot of Hitlers quotes could apply to today's Global elite.

If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed... Adolf Hitler

"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it." ....Adolf Hitler.

"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one"....Adolf Hitler.

Never read about him, just saw bits of (yet another) WW2 documentary on History channel.
Intend to watch The Fall? about the fall of Germany in WW2 at some point.

I hope Europe never sees another despot like him or Stalin again.

pablomakaveli

I prefer this version of Hitlers life.

You ever play the Hitler game on Wikipedia? You go to Random Article and see how many clicks it takes you through articles linked to on that specific one 'til you get to the page about Hitler.

The first link you click to from the Random Article counts as #1.

A lot of them? That's just the same one, three times.

Theres good books on the man by John Toland, Ian Kershaw and Alan Bullock, which would be more informative and in-depth.

Interesting note: If you click "Random Article" and then always click the first link in the article you will eventually end up at "Philosophy" with something like a 95% success rate.

Him being a vegetarian is a myth. I have no idea if he liked sausages or not.

I doubt very much a terrible military commander could conquer most of Europe. He got too cocky and went for Russia.

He build lovely roads

You'll go fuhrer with your research if you don't use wikipedia.

This is true, you can't escape the facts of course as it swings both ways. I'm not saying he was a great guy or anything or 'praising him', I'm just acknowledging aspects of his personality that made him a serious figure in the political world of the last 100 years.

They could also apply to wikipedia.

There is a severe lack of those youtube film's in his filmography.

I doubt somebody whose knowledge of the subject is limited to perusing a few websites knows enough to comment, hence

I should have been a bit more clear. He had a tendency to hinder his generals during operations, holding them back from seizing the initiative and completely destroying enemy armies, retreating when holding ground was suicide, terrible ideas of attack and completely delusional of his armies capabilities during the latter years of the war.

From what I remember from Junior Cert History, Mein Kampf was full of bad grammar, ranting, and was generally no better than the average post on the Politics Board on boards.ie, so maybe that's why the translation doesn't make any sense?

Shryke

Pyr0 nails it there from what I've read. Spot on.

So you believe he existed then now, do you?

I'm intrigued by mass murder too. It's just a dream though, but I can still dream

He had some of the world's best ever military commanders working for him. They conquered Europe. Hitler didn't. If he had listened to them more he would've been a lot more successful. Unfortunately for him, (and fortunately for the rest of the world) he believed his own hype.

his greatest success was........killing 10 million germans, and losing a third of his country..........

Some people say it's intruiging and fascinating, personally I thought it was fairly shit.

I didn't get to the end but I know how it ends anyway so no loss.

It tends to vary from what appears well reasoned and well written stuff to just mad cap ramblings that go around in circles of irrational bile.

That's a common mistake,while his origins where in 'Goosestep Dub' Hitler was no fan of 'Happy Hardcore',this came along after his initial creation Breakbeat Hardcore under his pseudonym 'DJ SS'

From his first release 'The Pyscho EP'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzTJzaHlNBg

He later transitioned to Jungle & DnB under another alias 'Sounds of the fuhrer'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND1tuqg12sY

It was the emerging Happy hardcore that began spreading across europe which eventually led to his 'Downfall',prior to this he was dropping bombs all over europe and causing quite a scene!

Ditto. I found it more than a tad repetitive and boring. Maybe it loses something in translation though?
