I used to work for a Jewish doctor whose family left Czechoslovakia in 1939 and moved to England. He had a story he liked to tell...how different history might have been:
There once was a man named Littler who ruled Germany, he valued the Jews, appreciated their contribution to Germany, particularly a scientist named Zweistein whose brilliance resulted in the invention of an energy source which made germany a world leader in commerce...and there was never a WW2...
paraphrased, I don't recall his exact words, but I have never forgotten the content. Oh, the possibilities...the terrible suffering, the waste of life and energy we will never replace.
And why? Because Hitler studied islam during his time in the trenches during WW1. He learned from the muslim Turks -
'Who remembers the Armenians?'
"Hitler studied islam during his time in the trenches during WW1"
I have read a lot om Hitler, but I don't recall that.
Can you give me a source for that?
"I used to work for a Jewish doctor whose family left Czechoslovakia in 1939 and moved to England."
This the same doctor you used to work for who made up the story ?

Did he also make up the "hitler studied islam in the trenches" story ?
He was so right. What a waste! I grew up with the results of my father being a shell-shocked WWII veteran - from fighting Hitler's hordes in N. Africa, Sicily, Italy & Germany. What a waste is right. One would have thought any rational German would not have been favorably impressed with the sticklerish goose-stepping and sig heiling of Hitler and his bunch of hooligans to start with.
