This a truly fantastic, solemn, and most importantly non-kosher retelling of what shaped Adolf Hitler and the great man he was.

[Vissario]

If he was so great, why did he lead his nation to a ruinous conclusion which would have taken hundreds of years to redress if not for American dollars?

Maybe, but it is so asinine that people still worship this guy as some type of god in spite of the fact that his regime lasted less than 15 years and left the country in shambles with no chance of becoming a "great power" again.

It could also be construed as "asinine" that an anti-racist jew is posting in Imperium, fancy that. But yes, the Germans should have stood firmly under the boot of Versailles, right? They should have left your kind in control because it was working so well, right?

The German turn around thanks to Hitler resulted in a record level in the standard of living not seen since. I know it fills you with hatred at knowing for 12 all too brief years, the people of Germany enjoyed a happy jew-free racially homogeneous existence, but you guys won in the end eh?

Live it up, because that was the last great white hope and all you have to do now is wait.

No, Versailles was a joke as well. It was simply victor's justice much like that facade of Justice known as the Nuremburg Trials.

Look, your cliche "ur Jewish and evil if you disagree me" bullshit aside, I don't see anything which directly contradicts my point. Hitler was simply a bad military leader and statesman. He falsely assumed he could fight GB, the U.S., and the USSR all simultaneously through sheer military and industrial power. Think about it, a nation of 40 million people versus the combined resources of 300+ million people. There was no way in Hell he could honestly have expected to be able to defeat that kind of man power and resource base in a war lasting more than a year or so. Hitler made the same mistake his predecessors did in WW1: the assumption that through sheer military force, Germany could route her many foes and forge a total, uncontested grip over continental Europe without fear of invasion or attrition.

In WW1, it was the Kaiser's fault for not changing his military plans to suit the reality of European politics. In WW2, it was Hitler's fault for initiating a two-front war which divided his combined resources nearly in half and leaving neither front quite strong enough to obtain victory.

Sure, Hitler was a cunning politician and dictator who knew how to attain power and keep power, but when it comes to his military track record and genius as war-time despot, there was much to be desired.

Draco it falls in with the thread Burhuss had on the Fuhrer - all children , flowers and the propaganda image of a very reasonable man who would never even think of saying a cross word never mind going to war.
It is not even good propaganda - 600,000 killed at Hamburg and Dresden - who provided this information ?
Who got Lenin into Russia - not the Germans by any chance ?
