Didn't the world see, carried on right into the Middle Ages, the same old system of martyrs, tortures, faggots?

I didn't realize that the word faggot had been in use since the 30's-40's, does this mean the same thing as it does today?

[Shanda]

I read that, very illuminating.

Thanks for posting it.

I'm pretty sure he (or the translator) means the sticks used to build a fire.

In the beginning of the book of Revelations God says he would rather a person be "hot" or cold", but not lukewarm. From that it would appear that Hilter's views may have been less offensive in th eyes of God than say.... contemporary USA.

[KidGlock]

I thought Hitler was a conservative Republican who wrote the pro-life plank in the GOP platform.

Adolph Hilter was also college roomate to Ronald Reagan and mentored Newt Gingrich while at graduate school.

At least that what Democrats say.

IMHO, most enviros are useful idiots. Like Stalin did with his useful idiots, Hitler used such groups, and then slaughtered them. He would do the same with today's enviros.

In fact, the tyrants of today, those who would erect a wholly socilistic, and then socio-fascist/marxist state on the ashes of our Constitutional Republic are using the enviros in just this manner now, IMHO...and if they ever reach their end game, I believe they will do the same as all other tyrants did and do with those they manipulate to help them attain complete power.

Great Post - Hitlers god was the Folk Blood -Arian Supremecy, blah, blah, blah.

Certainly no room for Jews or Slavs or Gypsies or Christians anyone else not included in his psychotic horizons.

[marty60]

As usual, absolutely correct.

"made a deal with the Devil"

I have read extensively about Hitler and his henchmen (bios) and it is hard to argue with the idea that it was Hitler's intent to make such a deal.

If a person is spiritually inclined, they might ask how it is that an interesting young man with little apparent skill but towering ambition becomes an empire-building monster.

Hitler begs the question...where did his genius come from...it appeared later in life? Also, he knows things that, by his experience, education or reading, he should not know.

[Sonny M]

They wanted to replace it with worship of the state.

I'm not totally positive about that.

Hitler, and the guys around him, had some strange bizzare relgious beliefs.

I'm not sure how to describe it accuratly, Nordic? Pagan?

Hitler also had strong interests in the occult, but the Viking, relgious thing, his people and him had, is still, something of note.

Was it a hobby he had? Was he following a defunct religion? Was he playing mix and match? Why did the people he surround himself with have a fetish for the religion of the Vikes?

[Missouri]

The Mohammedan religion too would have been more compatible to us than Christianity. why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"

I've heard this before.

Hitler was the worst thing to happen to Germany. His soldiers fought hard for their country under extreme circumstances and this is what he thought of them. His arrogance and madness ruined what was a fine country though many of its own people share responsibility in believing in this lunatic.

Thanks for the ping, D.S.

Hitler begs the question...where did his genius come from...it appeared later in life?
Also, he knows things that, by his experience, education or reading, he should not know.

Here's my (VOA's) inexpert speculation on that.
Hitler apparently was a fairly avid reader, so I suspect that even with
an "above average" (not genius), he picked up on a lot of things the average
German either didn't have time or desire to grasp.
Plus, with some idle time on his hands during prison and being sponsored by
some powerful people, he probably got exposed to some of the inner workings
of Germany's "power elite".

That sort of background, combined with maybe a gift at speech-making
(crowd-control), manipulation (carrot and sticks for subordinates) and
the mess that Germany was after WWI and Weimar...
a fairly average, but determined fellow could go a long way!

(there was a good article last year in The Atlantic Monthly titled something
like "Hitler's Secret Library" that shows his wide choices in reading.)

[Dark Skies]

Good post...but when you read of the response to his speeches and his power over the crowd...and...well you know the rest.

That kind of stuff cannot be learned by reading. It is innate and, well...

Well!

The Nazis could have been Jim Morrison and The Doors.
Only the Nazis had more style sensiblity with their Hugo Boss outfits.

Hitler's Table Talk is next on my reading list. He talked for hours at a stretch, thought so highly of his own ramblings he had every word written down by various secretaries, he would keep his audience awake until the early hours of the am, most of them bored out of their minds, fighting the need for sleep. Herr Hitler didn't need sleep, he had a 'doctor' who injected him regularly with 'vitamins' - probably amphetamines. My guess is something like Dexidrene. An invitation to the Berghof was to many, nothing else but an endurance test.

[Tailgunner Joe]

These quotes are all from Hitler's private conversations as recorded by his secretaries. Albert Speer corroborated many of these statements in his memoirs.
