LOL, not THESE again! I almost cannot even think of Hitler anymore without visualizing these hilarious memes!

I am currently reading William Shirer’s book “The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich”, and in it, he talks about events between 1937 and 1939 leading up to the invasion of Poland, and he related a meeting where Hitler (who had been under considerable stress leading up to the Anschluss/occupation of Austria) lost control of himself and threw himself on the floor and began chewing on the edge of a carpet!!!!!

It was second hand, so...who knows if it was true, or if it was an outright slander by William Shirer, but given what we know about Hitler, anything is possible.

Shirer was the Hearst Newspaper & later, tge CBS radio correspondent in Berlin from 1934 until he “advised” to leave in early 1941. Having read Rise & Fall as well as “Berlin Diary” I have no doubt that his report is true.

Waiting for the Hitler, “I will not be memed” meme.

I doubt it’s true. It’s as ridiculous as russian hookers urinating on a bed. If people are as basic as they are claimed to be why do they always cite absurdity. In Hitlers cas he already owns the title of most tyrannical even though Mao and Stalin were considerably worse. When they do that I tend to start the question the more supposedly legitimate aspects of the narratives.
