Now that we are 70 or so years after his reign, and most who had to deal with him are dead, how will he be remembered? What I wonder, is that will he eventually just be remembered as a conqueror, or will the atrocities he committed keep with his legacy? Will he be remembered with the likes of Napoleon and Julius Caesar , or something all on his own?
It's easy to second guess Hitler's political and military decisions today in retrospect and viewed through the prism of over 60 years of history written by the so-called "victors," who all have the same politically correct agenda. It's all revisionist history though. The world went through a lot of suffering so a small country could be created in the middle east, out of the ashes of WWII, in 1948.
Of course it does. The victors write the history.
The US knew, or was at least warned about the impending attack on Pearl Harbor days prior. After that happened, my 17 year old grandfather enlisted in the navy and fought in the south pacific. Americans were fucking animals back then. And I mean that in a good way.
Yeah anybody would have gassed those jews
Don't forget that we have more footage of Hitler and his speeches than any of those other "bad guys" in history.He recorded himself for posterity and that has left us with full visuals of his rantings.The fact we can view him full on is part of what gives us such disdain for him.
