The Greatest leader of the 20th century was Roosevelt.
Plus Hitler had a d.i.c.k problem.
Plus he was a genocidal freak.
Plus he destroyed his country and others along with opening up Eastern Europe to Stalin.

Actually, Goob.........hitler did not have a d.i.c.k. problem at all but he did have sexual hang-ups and a prediliction for young girls. He was a[FONT=&quot] hypochondriac and became a drug addict thanks to the ministrations of his doctor, Theodor Morell. [/FONT]

Just finished reading "The Boys"

About Jewish children who were starved, tortured, beaten, raped, worked to death, marched to death. All this because the "great man" had an idea.

Well documented, and yet still denied by a few.

We are wise to let dancing nutbar rave on. At least we can keep an eye on the her.

When you are defeated Smack the victor writes your biography. I hope you survive to read the vile lies that will be told about your nations pantheon of hero,s, and mine, or will they be lies?

I dare not ask you what the "lies" were about Adolph Hitler. I am sure the forum will get hit with a landslide of Neo-Nazi material.

You should review what has been written as pertains to winning losing and playing the game and I'm reasonably sure you will recognize the error of your thinking. Despite Hitlers unearned reputation he will be remembered a very long time beyond his vanquishers.
JFK was a loser according to you.
JFK was murdered. He was a good Statesman in my opinion.

Here is someone who worshiped Hitler:
Adolf The Legend

“I am not worthy to speak aloud of Adolf Hitler, and his
life and work do not invite sentimental words.
“He was a warrior for mankind and a herald of the gospel
of justice for all nations. He was a reformative figure of the
highest rank, and it was his historic fate that he had to work
in a time of unprecedented baseness, which in the end brought him down.
“Thus, I suppose, must the ordinary West European look
upon Adolf Hitler. And we, his close followers, now bow
our heads before his mortal shroud.”


Norwegian writer and Nobel Prize-winner, Knut Hamsun, upon the death of Adolf Hitler, in Aftenposten, 1 May 1945


“‎Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived… he had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made”

John F. Kennedy, President of the United States of America

“I have never met a happier people than the Germans and Hitler is one of the
greatest men. The old trust him; the young idolise him. It is the worship of a national hero who has saved his country.”

David Lloyd George, Daily Express, 17.9.1936


“The spectacle of Germany today is a tremendous experience. Fifteen years after the war in which the allied powers thought they had destroyed her, Germany is on her feet again. As compared with 1922 and 1931, when I last saw Germany, the change is miraculous. The people are confident, enthusiastic and courageous. They have recovered their morale. In 1931 the German people were going to pieces. But now they are themselves again, no doubt about that! The masses of the people are increasingly with Hitler. I have been fooling myself all along that this was not so, but now I know it is so.”

Pastor Community Church N. Y Times, July, 12th, 1935


”Step by step I have arrived at the conviction that the aims of Communism in Europe are sinister and fatal. At the Nuremberg Trials, I, together with my Russian colleague, condemned Nazi aggression and terror.
I believe now that Hitler and the German people did not want war. But we declared war on Germany, intent on destroying it, in accordance with our principle of balance of power, and we were encouraged by the ‘Americans’ around Roosevelt. We ignored Hitler’s pleadings not to enter into war. Now we are forced to realize that Hitler was right. He offered us the co-operation of Germany; instead, since 1945, we have been facing the immense power of the Soviet Union. I feel ashamed and humiliated to see that the aims we accused Hitler of, are being relentlessly pursued now, only under a different label.”
- British Attorney General, Sir Hartley Shawcross,
Stourbridge, March 16th, 1984



“New findings of Russian researchers show that Hitler wasn’t the genius of evil as portrayed at all times by all sides.”
- Berliner Morgenpost – Sunday, March 11, 2001


Following World War II, after 1945, Winston Churchill obviously read ‘Mein Kampf” and subsequently expressed his opinion, to have “slaughtered the wrong pig” in WWII.
- H. Sündermann, “Old Foe, What Now?

It will still take awhile before the lies have been proven wrong by the gradual emergence of truth which is suppressed under threat of persecution! Maybe my great-great grandchildren might study a revised version of this particular period in history class.

"Greatest man of the 20th century."

It's like what the French say about Napoleon, "The greatest general who ever lived."

One small problem with that. They both LOST.

The word for someone who loses is not "greatest," it's "loser."

You dont have to win to be "great." Their actions had profound effects on the centuries they lived in. I find it hard to think of anyone who had a larger affect on the 20th century than Hitler - though certainly not in the way he wanted to. "Influential" is in one of the definitions of "great." Great does not mean good or successful in all cases.

Nope- Hitler wrote his bio with the blood of millions.

The word you're looking for is "infamous." Hitler was infamous. He was not great. World War II would have happened without him, and the Axis would have lost even had Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin never been born.

Great

1. Unusually or comparatively large in size or dimensions: A great fire destroyed nearly half the city.
2. Large in number; numerous: Great hordes of tourists descend on Europe each summer.
3. Unusual or considerable in degree, power, intensity, etc.: great pain.
4. In an extreme or notable degree.

Take the people you mention out of the picture and it becomes impossible to tell what would have happened. Take one of them out of the picture and it'd still just be speculation. The war in the Pacific would have certainly happened without Hitler - but Europe, who knows.

1. Hitler was a puny li'l cuss.
2. There weren't but one of him.
3. Hitler wasn't unusual or considerable in degree or power (maybe in intensity); Germany was.
4. The only Hitler was "extreme or notable" for was military ineptitude. Otherwise he was an Elmer Gantry to a nation peculiarly susceptible to demagoguery, especially when tied to authority.

Am I seeing things here, or what? Am I actually seeing people stick up for the leader of the most despicable and evil regime in history?


Well- yes- up to a point.
Before September 1938 a strong argument can be made that Fascist Germany did the world much more economic good than harm, by lifting international trade out of the doldrums.

Unless you were Jewish and German, or socialist and German- but they were still allowed to emigrate with some, not much, wealth at that point.
