*** and he was kind to dogs.... I mean what the heck is your point? ***

First newbie, it's not the Poster's point, he just started a thread on an article in the news. But anyway, as to your question -- one point is that there's still many unknowns about Hitler that would shock most people, this being one.

Another thing many don't know is that he always wasn't the raging Jew Hater that emerged in Mein Kampf, to wit: When he was younger he had a crush on a Jewish Girl but he was too shy to approach her. How many people know or would think that? Or know that it wasn't Hitler's initial goal to 'eliminate' (kill) Jews in Germany, just that they leave the country. He promoted emigration but not many countries, including the USA under FDR, WANTED these Jews.

So the fact is Hitler wasn't always an anti Semite with a 'final solution' planned. That hatred came after Germany's unconditional surrender in WWI. Which to the troops in the field came as a big shock as they thought they were winning the war - or at least it was a draw. It was that capitulation that he blamed on 'The Bankers' (sound familiar?), most of whom were Jewish. He also blamed the Communist Party of Germany, which most of its leaders were also Jewish (and of the Trade Unions too). And there was one thing Hitler hated above all else; 'Bolsheviks' and Communism.

Folks also think that Nazi = socialist = same as communist. Not so to Hitler. As such, most folks put too much stock in the 'socialist' part of the Nazi Party's name. Ernst Röhm and other SA leaders were 'removed' during The Night Of The Long Knives solely because they wanted Hitler and Germany to be MORE Socialist, a slightly lesser version of the USSR. That 'their socialist revolution' still needed to be fought. Hitler warned him to back off on 'all that socialist stuff' but Röhm refused. In doing that he wrote his own death sentence.

Now do I have a point in the above? No. History has no point, just facts. And when it comes to Adolph Hitler the only fact is that over time he went freaking nuts.
(Maybe due to syphilis? He was 100% paranoid about it -- another fact.)

(Sorry but this is the Readers Digest version. Can't go into every detail here from his birth to death. Or how France started WWII, back in 1871)

A) You can throw names all you want. EVen you would be called a noob by those who have been on longer. It really is pointless.

B) You presume I do not know history. Wrong presumption. Moreover it is fair to ask someone what there point was in posting a particular article. To post and leave no comment about what the poster thinks is rather hit and run

C) Take a deep breath and don’t bother to respond. I know you will merely try and flame some more
