Sorry but all of you are mistaken. Hitler and Nazism are often wrongly described as far rightist leader and party. Such assertion has been repeatedly used by the communists to diabolize right wing parties an other of their opponents in numerous countries. Read carefully on Hitler and Nazism and you will learn that Hitler, and a dozen of fellows he met first in 1919 in a café, founded the National Socialist Deutch Arbeit Partei (NSDAP) which once translated in English means German National Socialist Workers Party. Once he got German Chancelor Hitler enacted compulsory work for everybody, he asked Ferdinand Porsche to build the Volkswagen Beetle (literally translated in English Volkswagen means "people's car") and as far as I read in history books relating to this period nothing has never been done by Hitler and his regime to promote capitalism or anything akin to right wing ideology. The only true fact is that Hitler expressed hatred toward communists, and it is certainly for this reason that in return the communists said of the Nazis that they belong to the conservative right wing. \nBut Hitler cannot be described as conservative too. He changed everything in Germany, which was until his coming up on the political stage a capitalist and conservative country.

No I don't think President Bush is a Christian, because I thought Christians cared about innocent people and their lives. If Bush IS a Christian, then he would be the first murdering, cold-blooded Christian in American history. He's well on his way to being the biggest mass murderer since Adolf Hitler and I thought that was a complicated feat too, but it looks like I'm wrong now. I guess that feat CAN be duplicated after all. I thought killing was hard, but Bush makes it all look so damn easy.

I can't really rate him, as I have not followed his work closely, just what I've seen on the news or in the paper.\n\nI've heard that he is a conservative personally, and if he had his way he would put the Church back a couple of hundred years lol, but I've also heard that he is known for putting himself last and doing the will of God and the Church, even if he disagreed with them.\n\nI read his first paper (sorry, don't know the latin name it's called) and was very glad to see that his main theme was Love.  Mainly calling Christians to love God, love each other, and keep that as a focus in our lives.  That was good.

i tink he is..but to the germans at that time he is not. Maybe he is too idealistic n the support of the germans at that time motivated him to get more n more overboard. I belief he is not evil at bith, maybe the society he lived in, had strong view abt the jews n he was influenced it n went ossessed wif these idoelogy.   hopefully i m being neutral.

http://www.historychannel.com did several documentaries on him and may have more information.  I believe one of his grandparents were Jewish (father's side).  I also know he was a failed artist, a corporal in the German Army in WWI, very into the occult, dispised Christianity almost as much as he did the Jewish faith (the concentration camp/execution squads killed about 6 million of each), was a socialpathic control freak, and very into animal rights and environmental issues.\n\nHe was also an avowed marxist but believed if he controlled people's minds, he didn't need to control their property (The theory behind the National Socialist Movement).  He persecuted German Communists, but only because they were competition.  Hitler actually liked Stalin and conspired with him to destroy Poland in 1939.  He hated the Russian people with a passion though, and also desired the resource rich areas of the Ukrain, Romania (Germany's ally), Moldovia, and the Caususes.\n\nHis micromanagement style in military affairs helped lead to Germany's defeat in WWII.  His intervention in Guderian's attack against France allowed the BEF and Free French forces to escape at Dunkirk.  Hitler's lack of forsight in Africa lead to Rommel eventually running out of supplies and vehicles.  Hitler's interference in the Battle of Britton allowed the UK to repell the air attacks, fortify its islands, and rearm its troops.  His ill timed attack into Russia and interference with Army operations (move the two armies south instead of maintaining momentum to hit Moscow in the late summer) allowed the USSR to recover and go on the offensive.  Hitler's interference, and falling for the Allied deception operations, in Normandy allowed the Allies time to establish a beachhead and overwhelm the Germans with superior numbers.  And finally, his unwillingness to fully mobilize the German economy for war meant his units were often short of supplies.\n\nHitler was sometimes refferred to as the best "ally" the Allies had, militarily speaking.

Now, now.  You know that not all right wingers are like that, especially being a self-proclaimed former conservative.  And usually its pro-god / anti-choice, so it makes me think he is confused and needs a dictionary.

Hitler was not an atheist, but your point is a fair one.  You cannot accurately judge an individual by his association with a particular race, religion, or other group.  Neither can you say that each member of the group is typical of its membership.

1.Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, at Braunau-am-Inn, Austria. Alois, his father, had risen from a poor peasant background to become an Austrian customs official and was able to provide his son with a secondary school education. Adolf, a bright and talented student at his village school, felt out of place in the much larger urban secondary school. He gave himself up to aimless reading, dreamed about becoming an artist, and developed a talent for evading responsibilities. Poor school marks prevented him from obtaining the customary graduation certificate. After the death of his father, he left his home in Linz, Upper Austria, in 1907 to seek his fortune in Vienna.\n\nHitler's professed aim in Vienna was to study art, especially architecture, but he twice failed, in 1907 and 1908, to get admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts. These failures destroyed what little order he had established in his life. He withdrew completely from family and friends and wandered aimlessly through the city, observing its life. Though he continued to read voraciously, he derived most of his knowledge from secondhand sources, coffeehouse talk, newspapers, and pamphlets. He encountered the writings of an obscure author whose racist and anti-Semitic ideas impressed him. Politically, he turned to a fervent German nationalism and a vague anti-Marxism. But at this time he was probably mainly interested in being accepted as an artist and architect. \n\nWhen the money left by his parents ran out, Hitler fell into total poverty, lodging in a men's hostel. Grudgingly, he decided to support himself by painting postcards and watercolors and to accommodate himself to the mixed company of tramps, outcasts, cranks, and transients that populated his lodgings. In both respects he did the barest minimum; he never learned to work regularly, and he remained essentially a loner. But he learned an invaluable lesson: how to evaluate and exploit the mentality of these marginal people, the Lumpenproletariat. He never considered that they posed a social problem, however, and for the rest of his life he mistook them for the real working class.\n\n3.Allied inactivity and a lightning victory over Poland permitted Hitler to mobilize his forces fully and to persuade his reluctant generals to intensify the war effort. In April 1940, German troops conquered Norway and Denmark; in May and June they swept through the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. On June 22, a triumphant Hitler forced France to sign an armistice at Compiegne, the site of the armistice of 1918. He was at the peak of his career, having now proved himself a superior military commander, and he began to build his New Order in Europe. The New Order's only tangible result was Heinrich Himmler's policy of racial reorganization. It combined a senseless resettlement of racially "valuable populations with a relentless suppression and extermination of "subhumans, among them about 6 million Jews, through slave labor, concentration camps, gas chambers, firing squads, and starvation.\n\nMeanwhile, Britain's determination and the imminent conflict with Russia forced Hitler to go on. After unsuccessfully trying to defeat Britain through a heavy bombing attack on the British Isles and a ground offensive against British troops in North Africa, Hitler turned with full force to the east. On June 22, 1941, he launched his attack on the Soviet Union. But the German advance was stopped before Moscow by a harsh winter and a Russian counterattack. At the same time Japan, with which Germany had a nonaggression pact, attacked Pearl Harbor, and Hitler declared war on the United States.\n\n4.During this period, Hitler lived mainly from royalties for his book and fees for newspaper articles. He was able to afford an apartment in Munich, a villa in the Alps, and a car, but his style of life remained modest. He had a craving for pastries, movies, and Richard Wagner's music. His behavior still alternated between o

Hitler would be a conservative Republican today. He would have a good chance of being the GOP presidential nominee.

Yes... and no.\n\n"Most of Adolf Hitler's biographers assert that he was a vegetarian from 1931 until his death in 1945. However, a few reports indicate that he occasionally ate meat during the 1930s." - care of the link below.\n\nHope this helps!

So yet again kero_bearus you are proving how small-minded you are.  Judging an entire people group by one person, now that is awfully mature of you.  I could think the same about Germans - Hitler was a German and he did all those bad things, therefore all Germans are exactly like Hitler.  It's a pretty bad argument.  If you are going to pick on Christians, then at least make your questions worth-while, not stupid questions from a 17-year old who knows absolutely nothing about Christianity.

Excellent question.  People seem to be more quick to point out the flaws in others beliefs than acknowledge their own.\n\nStalin WAS athiest.  To claim otherwise is ridiculous.  How can the head of what was an officially athiest state (and it was despite what others posted) be theist?\nAlthough Hitler was born Catholic, his beliefs were definately not Christian (ie: Christ was Aryan and fought the Jews; Aryan's evolved from Adam and Eve, and everyone else evolved naturally, etc...).  He may not have been athiest, but he certainly wasn't Christian.  Jadwiga Biskupska, who wrote "Hitler & Triumph of the Will: A Nazi Religion in the Catholic Style" in Undergraduate Quarterly, September/November 2004, even states: "...he ridicules the teachings of Church fathers and the practice of the Catholic faith... he detested the doctrines, of the Roman Church... Institutionalized religion, in Hitler's view, was a waning phenomenon...".

Yepper,Bush is a dimwitted version of Hitler(who his grandfather, and probably his daddy too, supported.\n\n andyandy28227, Hitler was a FASCIST, not a socialist.\nya, the Nazis used the word, don't judge a book by its cover. Former East Germany was officially named the German DEMOCRATIC Republic, did that make it a demcracy? of course not. I think you're the one who needs to grow a brain, just as much as Bush does.\n\nrepublicanr...: fascism is EVIL, and against a free democracy.  It even worse than capitalism, both only help the rich.

Interesting question. Forget, for just a moment if you can, the atrocities of the Hitler regime. Hitler brought prosperity back to a floundering Germany. Under is initial reign, Germans went from abject poverty to having jobs and food and prosperity. It wasn't until they discovered his megalomania that the wheels fell off and his true nature was discovered.\n\nSo to answer your question, it's quite possible that many people would vote for him if they knew nothing about his true nature and only the political promises he made.

I don't have a set religion, but I would have to say Jesus. Hitler had mental issues, and he had his own Secret Soldiers kill a group of Nazis called Stormtroopers killed in an inn because they were deemed ineffective. Jesus has the help of God, who could just smote Hitler down with a terrible bowel movement, and Jesus could die but he would just be ressurected again.

Nazism was his religion.
