Maybe Ethiopia or Eritrea. In which case, they may not be Muslims.

Hitler had charisma and was a spell-binding orator.

The Nazis made good use of radio, "The tribal drum".

“Anyone have any idea what this is? Muslims with Nazis?”

These are the Black African ambassadors to Italy presented to Adolf Hitler by Mussolini during his Italian visit, in 1938.

Panzer MkIIs on highbed trucks and lowboy trailers photo Hugo-Jaeger-WWII-photos-115_zpso1jtulxs.jpg This is the first photo I've seen of German tanks transported on high-bed trucks pulling other tanks on low-boy trailers. These are German Panzer MkIIs which are small scout tanks.

“Why didnt someone put a bullet in this scrawny little pansy sooner? “

The British did consider it at one time. Hitler was vulnerable when he was at Berchtesgaden. He frequently would take a walk to the Mooslahnerkopf tea house from the Berghof. It was less than a kilometer along a wooded path.

He was within sniper range but it most likely been a 1 way trip for the sniper or his team. They decided against it because the reprisals against Allied POW’ would have been extreme. They also felt he was a bit of an asset as Hitler liked to meddle in military affairs and if they nailed him somebody might take his place who knew what they were doing

Just looking at pictures of the guy, I just don’t get what was so compelling to the Germans of that era. He was an awkward-looking, peculiar man.

It was a different, dowdier world back then. In the 1970s and 1980s Europeans got rich and everybody was became attractive. Standards were a lot lower than that before.

Plus, a lot of it was the colorful pageantry. Some of that comes out in the pictures. And of course, Germans were already inclined to follow leaders.

"These photos have been around for 75 years. Why are they being brought up now? There is a reason for everything. This is being done to keep the Nazi thing going during the U.S. presidential election. The dims are doing this."

Why would the dems want to highlight their connection to totalitarian socialism?

Of course President Roosevelt used the radio well too but in a very different manner. His fireside chats insured his reelection in spite of the continuing economic depression.

Both FDR and Hitler rose to power in 1933 and both died in April of 1945.

The anti-Hitler movement within Germany suffered a serious setback when Chamberlain made his concessions. Hitler’s popularity spiked and the opposition was weakened. Stauffenberg’s group grew stronger after the war had turned against Germany and the briefcase bomb did not go off until July 20, 1944.

When I see photos of Nazis, I tend to associate them politically with the socialist democrat party of today.
