"The Berkut" is an interesting read. It's the story of Hitler's escape from the mess he created. Good fiction. Could be a decent flick.

As an aside, I have always wondered why Hitler is deemed more notorious than Stalin. If one is to use sheer numbers murdered, Hitler could have taken lessons from Stalin. Whereas Hitlers is credited with 6 mil + dead, Stalin had something likse 28 mil listed to his credit.

Because the people who write histories, report the news and make movies thought Ol' Joe was a pretty neat guy...

Hitler killed tens of millions of people. Six million Jews, plus another six million other civilians in death camps, plus tens of millions of others in battle and battle-related activities. Remember also that the bulk of the men Hitler killed were killed between late 1941 and early 1945, a rate of murder unequaled in human history.

I'll take a stab at this. Liberal college history professors like to portray the Nazi's as right wingers. Left wing murderers get a pass.
