Was Adolf Hitler the most historically significant person of the 20th century?
Well? Who else would it be? Einstein? Gandhi?
shareWhenever I think about Nazis, or see them in a TV show, it just blows my mind that a nation could really have gone into a World War based on such flimsy concepts. Will-to-power national pride? Hatred of Jews? _Really_?
Or perhaps I only think that because the ideas behind the Soviet Union were so universal and easily-explained?
And it's a tragedy because on the face of it, Nazis are such cool villains, vizaviz the smart uniforms, and the coolness of U-boats, Zeppelins, fighter planes aces, etc.
No idea about the best Hitler film. But I've been itching to watch Valkyrie again.
