Was Hitler Misunderstood?
Was Hitler a misunderstood child of God? I don’t support his violent methods and killings that he undertook but historians have presented him as a villian of a Hollywood movie.
Can’t we simply hail the man for his communication and leadership skilles? He dared to dream. He was rebellious, he was a kid, he did what he thought was right…He challenged everyone. He challenged humanity. He pushed everyone to their limits. Imagine how boring the world will be if everone were nice and there were no conflicts?

If a serial killer tortured and murdered your entire family, how would you feel if I then asked you, ‘was he just misunderstood? After all, he dared to dream – and his dream was life on earth without your family?’
Hitler did not ‘challenge humanity’ – Hitler showed INhumanity by organising the murder of MILLIONS of people. Innocent people.
You seem to feel it’s somehow fine that he ordered the building of death camps, and that he succeeded in wiping out HALF THE JEWS ON THE PLANET. SIX MILLION.
But that’s OK with you, because hey, at least he wasn’t ‘boring’???
How was he ‘a kid’??? He was a grown man who knew precisely what he was doing!
Is there something wrong with you? I can really only assume that you are a neo Nazi, because nobody else would praise Hitler the way you just have.
EDIT TO UNIQUE
- how was Hitler ‘misunderstood’?
He set out his aims and feelings most clearly in ‘mein kampf’ and also his numerous speeches.
He set goals, he worked towards them, he very nearly accomplished them. His words and actions were UNITED.
How was he then ‘misunderstood’?
He said that his desire was to exterminate every last Jew in Europe, and he organised the death of HALF THE JEWS ON THE PLANET, plus millions of non Jews – how were his hate and his actions ‘misunderstood’???
EDIT TO ASKER
No, you are wrong, this is not ‘healthy’ discussion. Would you say of any serial killer that hey, ‘at least they dared to dream’???
No, you wouldn’t. You knew your post would be offensive but you just went ahead and did it anyway.
It’s less than two weeks since Holocaust Memorial Day and I don’t appreciate having to read comments by YOU praising Hitler, just because you felt like having a ‘discussion’.

I don’t think that he was misunderstood at all. He did misunderstand quite a few things, the theory of evolution being one of them. Because of one idiot’s inability to understand the fact that NATURAL selection is done by NATURE, not an egomaniac who believes that he knows what is best for humanity, six million Jews are now dead. I find it nauseating that you would even entertain the though that this man “dared to dream”. His dream was horrific, a scar on the history of the human psyche. If you want to praise someone for dreaming, praise Ovid, Shakespeare, or Buddha. But not a disturbed man like Adolf Hitler. While dreams can indeed be beautiful things, not all are so bright, and some dreams were never meant to be…

He isn’t misunderstood but he may well have been by the psychiatrist who allowed him out of a mental institute as to say he was a danger to himself and others is a understatement.
He was a meglamaniac and an evil man.

His dream was a nightmare. He was a evil person that the world could have done without.

He was a monster as were those that aided and abetted him!
In the judgment of Konrad Adenuaer, first chancellor of the Federal Republic, writing in 1946: “The German people permitted itself to be nazified without offering resistance-yes, even with enthusiasm. Therein lies its guilt.”
Book Review: “Holocaust’s Bystanders” by Steven Welch
Friedlander paints a damning portrait of the conduct of the bystanders. Passivity and indifference predominated, but in many cases the Nazis could count on the active support of non-German authorities and their security forces in facilitating the annihilation process.
As he points out, “not one social group, not one religious community, not one scholarly institution or professional association in Germany and throughout Europe declared its solidarity with the Jews”.
Friedlander is especially critical of the failure of the Christian churches, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox, to respond to the onslaught against the Jews. He identifies the virulent anti-Judaism cultivated by Christianity over centuries as a major contributor to the anti-Semitic culture that, he argues, took hold in Germany under Nazism but also flourished in the rest of Europe as well.
The fact that Christian churches shared with Nazism anti-communist, anti-liberal and anti-materialist views rendered the churches incapable of coming to the defense of the Jewish population.
Pope Pius XII comes in for heavy criticism for his “selective appeasement” of the Nazis. While the Pope sought in some cases to raise objections to Nazi measures, his concern did not extend to the mass murder perpetrated against the Jews. The Pope’s silence stands as a disturbing example of the broader moral failure of the European and American spiritual and intellectual elites in the face of the Holocaust.

You can hail him if you like, but i will not. Admittedly, his nasty views on racial superiority etc were not unique to him, many apparently respectable people shared them. But he was the one who built those ideas into the fabric of his society, and made mass murder part of normal eveyday life in the Third Reich.
The fact that other people shared his repellent views does not make his behaviour any less terrible. he was a monster, and I do not propose to hail him for anything. Do you really consider it admirable that he wanted to get rid of anyone who didn’t fulfill his ideas of what human beings should be like? he wasn’t a rebellious kid, he was in his mid forties when he became dictator of Germany, not a ‘kid’ by any stretch of the imagination.
That he was eloquent and charismatic is undeniable, he was able to charm people easily, and they fawned on him. But that does not alter the fact that his plans for the future of Germany and of the world were utterly cruel and monstrous.

I pity you.
How about you go to a women’s shelter and try to convince them that their life was at least not boring?! Or try to convince African Americans that having to endure the evils of slavery meant that their lives was at least not boring?!
Tell that to your surviving kids, if fate should give you any, that since some villain killed half of their siblings off and you barely escaped with your life while their father was murdered, at least your life wasn’t boring. Otherwise how boring it would be to tell them that you had a nice peaceful life, wouldn’t it?!
Remember how Hitler’s life ended, too! Not boring at all I’d say! O yeah, Cain was a misunderstood Child of God, too wasn’t he?! That’s how Cain’s life ended too, he was murdered as well! I say tooth for tooth, bruise for bruise, and life for life is not at all boring either!
What’s more, the days of the villains and such “entertainers” as Hitler are very short!
God will avenge such blasphemy and the propagation of such hate! And the righteous of any religion will not tolerate such evildoers on the face of this earth! Never doubt that for one second!
So you can be assured that life will never be boring for such evildoers, especially when they have to flee for their own lives and justice is meted out to them!

The only way in which he was misunderstood was in the fact that many Western leaders failed to understand his plans from the very start.
Winston Churchill was one of the only few individuals that was never fooled by Hitler.

Hey If you enjoy hearing about jews being killed for their heritage then you are sick. I am interested in the Holocaust but that was one segment in history that I wish I didn’t have to learn about. God’s orginal plan was to have us live in a peaceful and “boring” world.
Was Hitler a military mastermind? absolutely. Was he leader? no, he was a demonic man, empowered by noting but greed and want. Hitler was truly an evil man

Hitler wasn’t the bad guy.
The real work of evil was done by the many thousands who did their duty.
This same evil is what has also destroyed America.
“I was just doing my duty.” …will be the most oft-repeated phrase at the Final Judgment.
A bully is empowered ONLY by his fellow-thugs, AND moreso…by the infectious cowardice of the masses.

I agree with your statement about people casting Hitler as the villain in a Hollywood movie. I think it makes them more comfortable with the atrocities he committed– distances them and makes it easier to believe these acts were committed by a monster and not a human being like themselves.
But don’t make the mistake of going to the opposite extreme. Hitler rejected his Christian upbringing. He set in motion, not just a petty argument, but total war– the repercussions of which we are still dealing with (e.g.-Iraq). The Chinese have a saying, “May you live in interesting times.” This is not a quaint blessing, it is intended as a curse. Is it better to live with conflict? NO!

EVERYONE is misunderstood. However everyone must answer for his or her actions. If your intentions are as pure as driven snow and your actions are horrific and wicked, it is your actions that count!
I have no doubt that the 6 million Jews and the 5.5 million non-Jews who died in the Concentration camps and the millions who died during the war of hunger, bombs, and other effects of war would have been extremely glad to have had the opportunity to live out their boring lives in obscurity.
Because of Hitler, they did not have that opportunity. His actions are what count!

Of course you’re nothing more than a troll, trying to bait others into attacking you, and I doubt that you have an IQ above 80. That being said, isn’t George W. Bush guilty of nothing more than doing what he thought was right?
Hey, what’s up Darth?
Posted on February 5th, 2010 at 9:26 am
You sort of forgot to mention the fact that Adolf Hitler was DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for 30 MILLION DEATHS.
He was the most Evil Man is History, end of discussion

PLEASE DON’T FEED THE TROLL!!!

He was a sick and demented man. He destroyed babies! His goal was to wipe out a race of people and any one that he didn’t like..gypsies, the handicapped and a long list of others including homosexuals. He was not misunderstood. He was one of the most vile humans ever to life. If ever Satan was human it was Hitler.

I know what you’re saying. Indeed, he was misunderstood, but he himself was also misled it seems. Just like John Lennon’s murderer, if you look through their eyes, you will see their actions as justifiable. It just takes a hell of a lot of tolerance. However, don’t get me wrong, these actions are not justifiable in the name of love or peace for all mankind.
When Kate S says that he rejected his Christian upbringing, I am not entirely sure about that. I believe he was killing Jews in the name of his Lord, which was seemingly Jesus?
I will not hail or worship a man for anything. I will, however, see that he was an excellent communicator, manipulator, or even hypnotist. The man was a genius, but mad like the dickens. Overall, he was misunderstood, but that is reasonable since he was being quite irrational.
Posted on February 5th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
I don’t know if he was misunderstood or not, and don’t care if he was or not. I resent what he did and I would be glad if we had learned from our past. But we didn’t!!
I would also like to point out that history is written by the winners, and so maybe we never really get to know the whole truth. Just to give you a hint, when nazi germany deported thousands of people daily to their various concentration camps the country was monitored (scout planes etc) by the allies and since 1 + 1 make 2 they knew what was going on, so why didn’t they ruin the railroad infrastructure to stop it.?? Maybe they didn’t want to? I also would like to remind you that as to my knowledge from british and american documentaries before WWII it was better to be black than to be a jew in the States. Finally I’d like to point out that if somebody want’s to make his case stronger with some “evidence” he should really have seen or read it, and I am 100% positive that nobody in here (including me) has ever read “Mein Kampf”!!
Once again I must say that I hate Hitler for the shame he brought to my ancestors (I’m of german origin too Darth) but in my eyes droping an a-bomb on innocent people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, throwing napalm bombs into vietnam jungles and blowin innocent refugees in Yugoslawia to pieces is as much a warcrime as Hitler’s doings. There is no thing as good murders and bad murders. Murder is murder!!

If he were misunderstood I don’t see how that would of led him to kill himself on an exiled island. He must of felt he was guilty of something if that was his ultimate choice.
Posted on February 6th, 2010 at 11:00 am
Hitler was the most evil man to ever live and was not misunderstood. The man was an evil maniac that wanted everybody to be perfect white people. Hitler hated Jews, blacks, gays, handicaps, and a whole lot of other innocent people. Hitler wanted to kill all of them and rule the world. I wouldn’t even want to try to understand Hitlers views
Posted on February 6th, 2010 at 12:08 pm
How can a miserable person like him be mis-understood?
His plans for the final solution were there right from the beginning, we were the ones who didn’t figure the whole thing out until it was too late.
Great Brittain and the USA were asleep in the 1930′s.

To be honest, normally I wouldn’t even dignify this type of question with a response, but because it made me so angry I will. Why on earth would people “hail” someone who used his communication to spread malice and propanganda. He wasn’t a kid he was a grown man.
He ordered the murder of millions of people, he knew exactly what he was doing, he was NOT misunderstood. He was an evil, horrible man.
I find it slightly alarming that you think mass murder and genocide makes the world a more interesting place?
