Default Re: Myth and Reality

Joe, you made some good points in your discussion. I did not know that Hitler was offered promotions in the army. But I think that I read someplace that he did not have many friends in his army unit. Somebody had stolen his arts supply knap sack and Hitler was mad at everyone for the theft


Hitler and his party almost road off into the sunset before Hindenberg formed a collition government with him. In Hitlers second attempt at being elected there was a big decline in his popularity and he almost vanished from the scene. Hindenberg felt that he could control Hitler and his wacko ideas. Unfortunately, Hindenberg died and Hitler took control.


But in my original thread I questioned why is Hitler hated so much that the German people, even to this day, are being punished for Hitlers errant ways? There are other evil men who were just as evil and maniacal. I had previously mentioned just a few. Personally, I think that Stalin was worse. But the movie "The Killing Fields" made me feel that Pol Pot was pretty awful too. And Mao Tse-tung rally takes the cake for butchery. But the feelings of hate for these other creeps is not as strong as they are for Hitler and many German people even to this day.


Why doesn't everybody call Stalin the bastard son of a prostitute? Maybe even conceived by a member of the Romanoffs royal family. A guy whose only claim to fame before the communist revolution was that he was a small time bank robber. And after the revolution, his only talent was that he murdered nearly everyone that he came in contact with, including his first wife and maybe even Lenin himself. He was a guy who was legitimatly diagnosted as a lunatic by a qualified psychiatrist, who not so surprisingly vanished. Why aren't the Soviet people villianized in the same way the German people have been? What is the difference between the KGB and the Gestapo?


Of course nobody knows much about Pol Pot and Mao Tse-tung. Does anybody even know what the Kimer Rouge stood for? Have we forgotten that we fought the Chinese in Korea? Sometimes I wonder if the reason I see nothing about these creeps on TV is that it isn't politically correct.
