Yeah. It was probably propaganda.
Good work.
Interesting article. Look what we could have been spared.
On a bigger scale but it’s like the felons being let go on the street and committing crimes against people who would have been spared.
Technicality. Flaw in dna chain of evidence. Parole. 9 year sentence reduced to three. Overcrowded prison. No bail.
This has become one of the major themes of Sci Fi Time Travel Movies.
“What if I could go back in time and prevent...?”
Hitler would be a rapper today!
First off, Hitler was evil, but the “what ifs”...
First off, would Germany still have started WWII? I would think probably. The hard restrictions that they were put under after WWI was ripe for some leader to push back against. Maybe it would have been a better leader and Germany would have won?
Without Germany and WWII - would the Soviets have at some point over-run Europe instead? (I have NO idea what their history was like at the time)
Without Hitler and the Holocaust, would the Jews have gotten their homeland back? Some day of course if one believes the Bible and they are destined for that land, but how much later?
Of course there are always a lot of “what ifs”.
What if Hitler had been killed in WWI to what if Hitler hadn’t been sleeping when the D-Day attack occurred. (If that story is correct).
“If Hitler had gotten into the Arts Academy, or some other art school, would he have turned out the way he did?”
I used to hear a mere kid in the NYC subways playing empty plastic paint drums, and he started out already phenomenal at 12, but by the time he hit 20 he was awesome, and handsome as all hell, his hands moving in a blur over his paint drums, and talking about how he’s got a scholarship to a music academy, one of the big ones.
Hitler would have made it in art school, even with little or no talent, and he could have just splashed some sh!t on canvas and been called Avant Garde. Some of these so-called artists, had circumstances been different, might have become Hitlers. Their world-view’s already offensive enough.
Untergang (Downfall) is the only documentary I need.
It is a good documentary.
A lot of it is the same background found in the opening chapters of Shirer’s “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”.
What if Superman worked for the Nazis.
“I have X-Ray vision, he’s a Jew!”
“No, my family was just advanced in hygiene, that’s all.”
That and...
Untergang is awesome. Love the memes.
Hitler was lazy, and a moocher. Lived off whatever was left of his mother’s money, and got a part of his father’s government pension, and a small government stipend. After the money ran out, he never looked for a real job like most people. Had problems fitting in with other people. Before being drafted in WWI, he lived in a men’s boarding house, and sold postcards he had painted scenes on. He was a control-freak, micro-managed the war, because he didn’t trust his Generals, or the advice they gave him. He got rid of anyone who didn’t strictly follow his orders. He thought himself a military genius, and of course, he was no such thing.
Joe remembers watching Hitler and FDR on his TV during the war.
You know, not many people knew it, but Hitler was a terrific dancer.
“One of them was about a British Soldier who had a clear shot at Hitler, but since Hitler was just a messenger, the soldier didn’t shoot.”
Hitler was a nobody back then, and didn’t even have his trademark mustache, so why would anyone remember seeing him? Doesn’t add up.
“Hitler would have made it in art school, even with little or no talent, and he could have just splashed some sh!t on canvas and been called Avant Garde.”
Not quite, certainly not in that day and age. You still had to prove you could master the fundamentals to graduate from an art school. You had to learn the rules before you could break the rules, which is as it should be with art, except perhaps for those few rare genius savants who seem to grasp all the rules intuitively.
Hitler told a story about a Tommy letting him go when he was wounded, alone and headed for German lines. Between the wars he saw a painting of a famous British soldier, and claimed that was the fellow who let him go. It doesn’t appear the British soldier and Hitler’s unit ever faced each other, even if one supposes Hitler’s story was true .
