@John Hagemeyer I'm not sure how much you know(if anything) about the secret history of World War 2, but are you aware that he made 20 offers of peace to Britain between Oct 1939 to June 1941.. all were rejected by Chamberlain and Churchill. However Churchill was under the influence of the Focus group from 1936 onwards. Robert Waley Cohen(Royal Dutch Shell) was chairperson of this group. Hitler also outlawed and closed down all the Freemasonic lodges in Germany. He also banned Pornography. He was trying to bring permanent peace to Europe! Germany was provoked and badgered into invading Poland. Look into the disgraceful behaviour of Polish Marshall Edward Rydz Smigley. Hitler was trying to reach a negotiated settlement with him over the future status of East Prussia and the port of Danzig(now Gdansk). Smigley and his foreign minister Josef Beck were under orders by agents of US president Roosevelt, not to negotiate with Hitler.. then beginning in July 1939 Polish militia and press enraged mobs began attacking and murdering German minorities in areas such as lower Silesia and Pomerania. These places had large numbers of Germans living here but it was under Polish control due to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. So these mobs killed hundreds, which by Sept 3rd 1939 had become thousands as Bromberg(now Bydgoscz) was targeted and a total of 3,000 German people were murdered and in many cases their faces were mutilated by these cowardly beasts. So that's the only reason that Germany crossed into Poland on Sept 1st 1939 : to stop the slaughter of their countrymen....

There was a similar video about Putin's wealth recently. Turns out that when you're the main man in any system where 'proximity to the monarch = power' that money basically loses all meaning. Express an interest in something, odds are the owner take the hint and make a gift of it to you. Have a family event coming up? You can say to any person "I'd like to borrow this yacht/estate/venue of yours for the weekend" and they'll gladly soak the costs; you get the use of the thing without any of the hassles of ownership.

Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "As the wars and unrest spread in every direction, the faith of My Church will continue to weaken.

I have seen the histriography moving on the war and I would like to know more about the Austrian Corporal and the Street Fighter that became Fuhrer and adversary of the world.

Speaking of, I've long believed that the movie adaptation of the Shining was based on Nazism. I just learned that Hitler's house perched on a steep hilltop was called the Eagle's Nest. The hotel from the Shining was the Overlook Hotel. Because obviously eagles are known for their acute farsightedness. It just so happens that the swastika was originally a good luck symbol. As in I'm looking over a four leafed clover that I overlooked before. The "Overlook Hotel" really ties these 2 concepts together. It would be really crazy if Hitler planned it that way and Stephen King caught his drift. Hitler's thought process was actually...dizzying.

I knew about him getting royalties on every stamp and postcard with his image. In fact I got an unused postcard of Hitler and Mussolini from a gun show. I recently showed it to a friend of mine who is German. She said the most interesting part of the card was what was printed on the back. I basically said the post card was copyrighted and illegal duplicates were punishable by law. Also did you know that Mein Kampf became "required reading" in schools and universities. He forced the schools to spend their budget to buy copies of the book even if the school had no intention in making it part of the curriculum.

@@EnclaveOfficer1776 I wouldn't even say it was charisma. The man was a lunatic (you know that right?). What he was able to do was get some strong armed people to back his play and look what happened? That's just it with any politician......they get their power from others, they literally have no power of their own. I highly doubt he ever actually killed anyone himself after WWI. He had others willing to do it. You have to admit though, he and his brethren took a small pisspot little country on the verge of bankruptcy and made it a global powerhouse. If Hitler had actually left running the war to those who knew what they were doing, the outcome would have been vastly different. We're actually lucky he was inept in so many ways.

I tried to read that book once. I got about one-third the way into it. It came across as having been written by a lunatic, small-minded and illogical, who was totally wrapped up in himself. I think Mussolini summed it up well: "a boring tome that I have never been able to read"; and he remarking that Hitler's beliefs in the book were "little more than commonplace clichés".

@grizwoldphantasia5005 2 жыл бұрын

Same here. Checked it out of the local library in high school, got bored of the silly repetitive insults and slurs. Probably didn't get more than 50 pages in. And some time later, a year or two, probably because history classes made me curious about what I'd missed, I tried again. Same result. Still a bit curious about what was in the rest, but two tries is enough. Even the recent annotated editions won't fool me again.

@cuddlepaws4423 7 ай бұрын

It was in our school libary but I never risked it after trying Das Kapital by Karl Marx ( great for chronic insomnia ) I have read " The Iron Dream " by Norman Spinrad which is science fiction and uses Hitler as a plot base to show a proud very patriotic soldier returning after a great war expecting a hero's welcome . But it is full of ' mongrels and immigrants ' , so he goes into politics to reclaim ' his ' old country . The book is good because at the start you strongly sympathise with him and his motives . But by the end you veiw him as a psychotic screaming lunatic . The trick of the book is you CAN'T pinpoint any moment where the change happens which I suspect is the whole point . It is 500 shades of grey .

@electricbikeretrovintage 5 ай бұрын

The book is called "my struggle" so obviously is wrapped up about himself.
