How the World Learned of Hitler’s Death

[Borges]

Where’s that from?

[dfwgator]

Inglourious Basterds.

Roosevelt got on television and broke the news to the nation.

That's what Joe Biden told me anyway, and he should know.

[TalBlack]

“The suffering and desolation that he wrought was beyond human power or fortitude to compute. The bodies of his victims were heaped across Europe from Stalingrad to London. The ruin in terms of human lives was forever incalculable. It had required a coalition of the whole world to destroy the power his political inspiration had contrived.”

And yet he discommoded God not in the slightest...

[Tucker39]

Hey! Hitler can’t be dead. I recently saw a video of him giving his generals what-for because his Obolacare premiums were too high.

Landlady It's their third time here with us, we can't keep you away can we? Ha, ha, and over here is Mr Hilter.

Hitler Ach. Good time...good afternoon.

Landlady Ooh planning a little excursion are we Mr Hilter?

Hitler Ja, ja. We haff a little... (to others) Was ist rückweise bewegen?

Von Ribbentrop Hike.

Himmler Hiking.

Hitler Ah yes, ve make a little hike for, for Bideford.

Johnson (leaning over map) Oh well, you'll want the A39 then...no, no, you've got the wrong map there, this is Stalingrad, you want the Ilfracombe and Barnstaple section.

Hitler Ah! Hein...Reginald you have the wrong map here you silly old leg-before-wicket English person.

Himmler I'm sorry mein Fuhrer. I did not...(Hitler slaps him) Mein Dickie old chum.

Landlady Lucky Mr Johnson pointed that out, eh? You wouldn't have had much fun in Stalingrad, would you...(they don't see the joke) I said, you wouldn't have had much fun in Stalingrad, would you, ha, ha, ha?

Hitler (through clenched teeth) Not much fun in Stalingrad, no.

[ScottinVA]

LMAO!! Thanks!

[No_More_Harkin]

too bad he couldn’t have taken Stalin with him and a bunch more Russian POS.

Only one who is utterly devoid of Godly sentiment could think so.

[TalBlack]

“Only one who is utterly devoid of Godly sentiment could think so.”

Wow.

That’s some big hammer you got there. Get it directly from God, did you?

You might want to read the observation a bit more carefully. Maybe get a little bit more of that Godly sentiment you’re so proud of into it. Though possibly you’re too dazzled by your power of super meditation to see anything.

Try this: Look up each word, one by one in the dictionary, put them all together and tell me how I am wrong.

[Louis Foxwell]

Yep. Got it directly from God.

[TalBlack]

Yep. Got it directly from God.

Golly, lou, you forgot to point out what was wrong with my observation.

Other Freepers have read and appreciated my observation before it ran up on the rocks of your theological penetration.

How, ‘bout it, Brainbox?

[P.O.E.]

May 7th is the 70th anniversary of the Nazi’s unconditional surrender. May 8th is V-E day.

[Louis Foxwell]

For God to fail to be discommoded by Hitler’s horrors He would be likewise unaffected by every aspect of the plight of mankind. Your God, sir, is my satan.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

I’m waiting for the video, “Hitler reacts to news reports of Hitler’s death.”

According to a poster to today's 70 yr old news thread that video is already out there, but not recommended.

[TalBlack]

You don’t just say this: “For God to fail to be discommoded by Hitler’s horrors He would be likewise unaffected by every aspect of the plight of mankind.”

You just HAVE to swing your ax: “Your God, sir, is my
satan.” And you put that “sir” in there as if you’re some kind of gentleman. No chance we are talking at cross purposes? No chance I have tried to express an insight and done it badly? In TWO responses involving a mere THREE lines you have hurled TWO thunderbolts which are as absolutely VICIOUS as anything I have ever seen.

So long, Lou.
