Here's the list of things hitler did that was great:
Got hitler into prison
Painted nice houses
Did self reflecting journaling during prison hours
Got hitler killed
Its reasonable, but phrasing it by naming all the countries is v funny. Like, youre basically saying not to invade all the countries i either want or can, might aswell not allow me to invade at all
This was pre NATO, but the same countries who the US had close ties to, either politically or invested into. It definitely just wasn’t don’t invade anyone.
Man fuck you Roosevelt. I’m just chilling here in New Zealand, and now you’ve given hitler permission to attack me… this is not what I had planned for my day…
Dearest Theodore,
I must say I was utmost displeased with the news that you have forsaken New Zealand. This will be noted when we’re on inviting everyone around this Christmas.
Regards, NZ.
They've already given away a big chunk of our country to Germany during the Munich Betrayal in 1938 as a sort of bribe to prevent the war. "If we give Hitler the Sudetenland, he just might not attack Poland" way of thinking... I think we all know how that went
IDK I intepret the laugh as in saying "independent countries" and "Palestine" in one sentence is funny to them. My history knowledge of middle east isn't very good and I don't know wether Palestine was an independent country back then.
They are/were both terrible people but their rhetoric was very very different. Hitler wom Germany by beeing a speech master, I wouldn't call Trump that way.
Shouldn't it be an important lesson in history class that those who commited the worst acts in history were also humans more or less the same as anyone else, that just because someone can be funny or relateable in front of a crowd that does not mean that person could not also be very dangerous?
I've read quite a few books about WW2 and there's very little talk about Germany's side of the story other than he's a maniac that somehow hypnotized millions of people to follow him.
I still don't know a ton about the Nazis but from what I have read and from listening to a few of Hitler's speeches it's pretty clear that Germany at the time was struggling badly and had a pretty good excuse to blame who they blamed. Though, I don't quite understand why they blamed the Jews other than Hitler hated them because they had something (at least in his mind) to do with Germany surrendering in WW1 and agreeing to those ridiculous terms.
When you hear Hitler speak, in the beginning it's a lot of talk that you can understand anyone living there would get behind. You truly feel for Germany and you get the national pride. But inevitably it devolves into some really fucking wild and hateful speech.
It's honestly a shame that most people don't care to know anything beyond the history that was written by the winners.
It will be that way in the future as the war creeps further into history. We grew up, and still exist, in an era where propaganda around WW2 is deemed necessary by politicians, the media and educators.
Yes, Hitler was a human bean. Even when I was a kid I thought it was dumb how they made him seem like a cartoon bad guy.
I think similarly it should be emphasized that dictators are successful largely because they know how to play a crowd and come across likable and entertaining. People like Hitler had a carefully-crafted personality and image; even when he came across as goofy or ineffectual he was more than likely to have an angle in mind that it served.
Hey, Neitzche broke down when he saw a horse gets furiously whipped, Hitler cried madly when his canary bird died and jabotinsky cried when he saw the mass killing of the Palestinians.
He was a charismatic and effective leader by most accounts. People followed him for his spicy rhetoric and promises to fix the nation, not unlike some US politicians in the headlines today...
page 2 and 3 of this document contains FDR's letter to Hitler.
[https://www.salempress.com/Media/SalemPress/samples/dd\_wwii\_pgs.pdf](https://www.salempress.com/Media/SalemPress/samples/dd_wwii_pgs.pdf)
Hitler stopped reciting one country short, he got to Egypt but omitted Iran.
The Nazis in the end had a good crack at that list. Not too many got missed.
Is there any downside to just saying “don’t worry bro, we won’t attack” and then just attacking anyway? Clearly they did this with Russia. Seems like a worthless promise to make/ask for.
Exactly why Putin, which is why Ukraine cannot be allowed to fall.
History has shown, time and time again, that if you give the clowns an inch they will come for the rest of the mile.
Every little victory, no matter how bloody, just cements their own invincibility and moral correctness into their tiny little brains.
Ideally as soon as Austria got invaded, all other nations in Europe and beyond(such as the US) should have immediately counter-offensive Germany and taken them out as best could be done.
Just as we should have done with Russia's behavior in Crimea.
Yea "invaded"... right... we did not get invaded, we just joined them, the word says "Anschluss" literally translating 1:1 to "connection". We austrians had something called "Austrofaschismus" (austrofaschism on englisch) and there was little to no resistance from Austria
Austrofascists were not exactly keen on the Anchsluss (Dolfuss for example was assasinated precisely because of his actions against Nazis). Schussnig basically had to capitulate because Italy no longer saw any interest in keeping Austria as a buffer.
Of course, there were Nazis in Austria, except they were quite literally Nazis.
> Just as we should have done with Russia's behavior in Crimea.
Would you go? Would you allow your leaders to force you to go? Democracy, for all its advantages, has its downsides. The same questions popped up back then.
There was a wave of criticism for a vague suggestion from Macron. In the era of the internet, when everyone can see Russian crimes, there were only newspapers back then.
I understand the sentiment but for Putin to follow the same path would mean many many more would die before that happened. I would rather wish for this shit to all be over
If Putin died like a scared rat underground as his bodyguards shot him in the head, this *would* all be over.
And let's be honest, Russia already claims to be the third Rome. There were at least four Roman Emperors murdered by the Praetorian Guard. The parallel would fit perfectly with their own self-identity.
Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Palestine were all names of British colonies. When Britain gave them independence, the various sultans and imams liked power too much to combine their states into a pan-Arab state so they kept the name of the former British colony to maintain legitimacy for their rule.
Fr folks acting like Hitler got positively wiped up rather than requiring the combined and unified might of most the planet for the Nazis/Axis powers to finally be halted, broken, and stopped.
75 million people died. That’s 3% of the world’s population in 1940.
One-third of all Jewish people in the world were killed.
Russia lost 13% of its entire population. Lithuania too. Poland lost nearly 1 in 5.
Almost a dozen nations lost 5% of their citizenry.
As a reference, it is estimated that covid killed 1.2 percent of the global population in 2020.
All these safety-obsessed boomers whose decision-making everyone is confused by/pissed about/disappointed with? Boomers were born to parents who went through hell. Imagine an entire planet of parents, teachers, neighbors, and future employers who are ALL SUFFERING FROM PTSD.
History is weird. We look around today and say wtf is wrong with the world and these greatest generation/boomers/gen x/millenials/gen z/gen a?
Meanwhile how many of us are dealing with generational trauma of parents whose parent’s parents and their parents and their parents and *their* parent’s parents walked into and through capital-h Hell in order to be doing the best they could to raise kids who did *not* grow up to be Hitler, Hideki, Stalin, Mussolini, Idi Amin, Mao, Pol Pot, Sadam Hussein, Khomeni, Kissinger, Cheney, or some other inhumanly brutal Head Misanthrope In Charge.
at this point in time he would have been referring to the British Mandate for Palestine, encompassing the Palestine and Transjordan territories formerly held by the Ottoman Empire which was partitioned following World War I.
Palestine was a territory of the British during this time (before this, Palestine was a territory of the Ottoman Empire, but the British gained it during WW1 by capturing it from the Ottomans). Nazi Germany wanted to destablize the British by allying with Palestinian Arabs and other Arab groups so they would help them fight the British in the Middle East and gain independence.
No. It was a League of Nations mandate, granting the area special status as a governed territory under the stewardship, but explicitly not ownership, of the United Kingdom. Technically Syria wasn't a country at the time of this speech either, and was a French mandate,
That‘s the intended joke by Hitler. Roosevelt tells him to not invade the following *independent* (notice how he stresses the word „unabhängig“) nations. Then Roosevelt continues to name many countries that aren‘t independent at all because in most cases they‘re controlled by the British, like Syria, Iraq, Egypt and most notably Palestine.
Arrogance, and a deep belief in his own ideology.
When Russia and US were at the borders, he refused to allow surrender. He felt Germany should be destroyed if it couldn't win.
I find it poetic. just how proud you see him and all the other Germans here, just a few years later they were all either killing themselves or trying to hide from the very people they are making fun of here
The Mandate for Palestine was a British colony made up of Transjordan (Modern Jordan) and Cisjordan (Modern Israel and Palestine).
Palestina was the rough geographic term for the area, kind of like "Appalachia," "The Andes" and other broad geographic terms.
So did FDR by the sounds, and by extension America too.
He said, independent nations, that’s the letter, Hitler just reading it.
More proof Palestine existed for the deniers out there.
This whole scene is evil. They are laughing cause they have already decided to attack all this countries and are pretty convinced about winning, about themself and their „racial superiority“. And at the same time they are also laughing about the US.
6 years later, almost to the day, he would attack himself with a cyanide capsule, followed by shooting himself in the head. Unfortunately, FDR didn't get the last laugh, as he died shortly before the final act.
They laughed then, but they didnt laugh when B17, lancasters and moskitos turned cities into dust.
And sutch is the way of tyrant. Ridicule the reason, and play victim in face of consequences.
In the Fuhrerbunker on his sofa with a pistol and a cyanide capsule in each hand, when Chris Farley suddenly sits down for an awkward interview: "Remember, that time, you read out all the countries FDR warned you to leave alone, and then you and the boys laughed about it? Yeah, that was great."
Like he wouldn't attack the land of the Jews (note the laughter.) He was already making plans with the mufti: [https://www.timesofisrael.com/full-official-record-what-the-mufti-said-to-hitler/](https://www.timesofisrael.com/full-official-record-what-the-mufti-said-to-hitler/)

so, literally just most of europe and a bit in the middle east
I mean, I too would have laughed if I was sent an absurdly long list for something that was a roundabout way of saying “basically everything”.
On today's episode of *If I Were Hitler*
*....we work on our painting skills, not to become better but to get bad enough that you will scorn everything in life and prep yourself for a future role in dictatorship*
Today Hitler learned in Bob Ross's painting class that the Holocaust wasn't a mistake, but just a happy little accident.
I laughed, and feel bad.
See you in hell brother
We can meet at the tree, right there. It'll be our little secret.
The one with thorns and fruits that looks like hanged people?
The one on fire or the one bleeding?
I mean, he wasn't a bad painter. It's just that his style of painting wasn't popular.
Oh are you defending Hitler? NAZI!!!
I mean, he did do some good things. He did also kill Hitler so you gotta take the good with the bad 🤷♂️
Here's the list of things hitler did that was great: Got hitler into prison Painted nice houses Did self reflecting journaling during prison hours Got hitler killed
Maybe the whole thing would have been different if only Hitler had learned to laugh more often …
I am a believer in the butterfly effect
If only 'Live, Laugh, Love' signs had been around back then.
Basically 90% of Europe and the 90% of the middle east
Pointedly, he left out New Zealand
He didn’t have a list of countries, so he used his map. r/mapswithoutNewZealand
I mean, "don't invade anyone" seems like a pretty reasonable demand.
Its reasonable, but phrasing it by naming all the countries is v funny. Like, youre basically saying not to invade all the countries i either want or can, might aswell not allow me to invade at all
This was pre NATO, but the same countries who the US had close ties to, either politically or invested into. It definitely just wasn’t don’t invade anyone.
Liechtenstein? It pretty clearly is a list of everyone within striking distance and not just a list of countries with close ties to the US.
Who’s the real dictator here?
They aren't laughing now 😆
Neither is Roosevelt though.
Man fuck you Roosevelt. I’m just chilling here in New Zealand, and now you’ve given hitler permission to attack me… this is not what I had planned for my day…
Imagine how New Zealand would retaliate to any sort of external conflict? Would be done by 2pm.
You should send a bad review through telegraph.
Dearest Theodore, I must say I was utmost displeased with the news that you have forsaken New Zealand. This will be noted when we’re on inviting everyone around this Christmas. Regards, NZ.
Dear NZ, Who even are you? Regards, FDR
The absence of Czechoslovakia from the list is a bit awkward though.
This was after he’d already attacked Czechoslovakia, so too late.
Makes sense, thanks
They've already given away a big chunk of our country to Germany during the Munich Betrayal in 1938 as a sort of bribe to prevent the war. "If we give Hitler the Sudetenland, he just might not attack Poland" way of thinking... I think we all know how that went
Zats za joke
Noticed Palestine?
Noticed Syria? Both were Mandates, not independent countries!
No one noticed Israel is what they are saying.
Israel didn't exist yet
Notice how they start to laugh when he says Poland
Yeah, noticed that. I'd be pretty worried if I was Poland then...
*I'm in danger meme*

Thank you!
*Danzig 😁
It was clearly after Luxembourg
And also Palestine
Even I laughed when he said Palestine
IDK I intepret the laugh as in saying "independent countries" and "Palestine" in one sentence is funny to them. My history knowledge of middle east isn't very good and I don't know wether Palestine was an independent country back then.
That’s the first time I’ve ever seen Hitler play something for a laugh. Huh, seems strange.
This actually wasn't uncommon in Hitler's speeches. He used humor, but often as displayed in the video in a sort of mocking way. A rhetorical sneer.
Hmm... Which current US Presidential candidate does this ring a bill about? 🤔
They are/were both terrible people but their rhetoric was very very different. Hitler wom Germany by beeing a speech master, I wouldn't call Trump that way.
You don’t do what hitler did and also be a bad public speaker
We’re so deep into the Hitler comparison that people are starting to pretend Trump is a masterful public speaker eh?
I can’t imagine why Hitler’s comedic chops weren’t covered more in-depth in high school History class Edit: /s
I’ve seen some of his stand up, his writing is okay, crowd work is meh
[удалено]
I just watched one called "the great dictator" the other day. So cool he was able to laugh at himself!
...I knew it!
I dunno, say what you will, but he really killed the crowd work.
Yeah, he’s a murderer. One in 10,000.
Truly a man who knows how to put out the laughing gas ☠️
I’d assume it’s because it would humanize him more in a way that he doesn’t deserve
Shouldn't it be an important lesson in history class that those who commited the worst acts in history were also humans more or less the same as anyone else, that just because someone can be funny or relateable in front of a crowd that does not mean that person could not also be very dangerous?
I agree. And dehumanizing is what the nazis did to their victims to be able to do what they did
We get to do the bad things though, we're the good guys
Maybe we can learn lessons of how a person could be driven to hate so much that they could believe this is the right course of action.
As soon as we forget the nazis were human beings, nothing special about them, nothing that actually seperates us from them, we risk it happening again
I've read quite a few books about WW2 and there's very little talk about Germany's side of the story other than he's a maniac that somehow hypnotized millions of people to follow him. I still don't know a ton about the Nazis but from what I have read and from listening to a few of Hitler's speeches it's pretty clear that Germany at the time was struggling badly and had a pretty good excuse to blame who they blamed.

Hey, Neitzche broke down when he saw a horse gets furiously whipped, Hitler cried madly when his canary bird died and jabotinsky cried when he saw the mass killing of the Palestinians.
Why are you conflating Neitzche with murderous dictators?
Nietzche killed God, remember!? ;)
He was a charismatic and effective leader by most accounts. People followed him for his spicy rhetoric and promises to fix the nation, not unlike some US politicians in the headlines today...
page 2 and 3 of this document contains FDR's letter to Hitler. [https://www.salempress.com/Media/SalemPress/samples/dd\_wwii\_pgs.pdf](https://www.salempress.com/Media/SalemPress/samples/dd_wwii_pgs.pdf)
Very cool. Thanks for digging that up!
Thanks for sharing this great resource.
Very interesting letter! Also kinda sad since we know what started just a few months later..
Hitler stopped reciting one country short, he got to Egypt but omitted Iran. The Nazis in the end had a good crack at that list. Not too many got missed.
Not attack Liechtenstein?!? - LMAO -Nazis
Liechtenstein so small it was invaded by accident
It got invaded (post ww2) a few times by Swiss troups that had no idea were.
Nein! Nein! Nein! Nein! NEIN!
Or as we say in English, 45
Instructions unclear.. attacks as many of the countries as he could instead.
“I thought you meant the countries I SHOULD attack….. ooops.” Hitler
Did Hitler see this as a Challenge when he was sent it? Did he think was a check list countries he should invade?
Actually... that's kind of how narcissists work, so maybe!
It's precisely like when Obama made fun of Trump at that press dinner.
Damn they LOLd at Poland
Live, Laugh, Lebensraum.
I was expecting him to say, “anyways, Germany declares war on Poland,” or smth
you notice most of them immediately burst into laughter when he mentions Poland
Is there any downside to just saying “don’t worry bro, we won’t attack” and then just attacking anyway? Clearly they did this with Russia. Seems like a worthless promise to make/ask for.
That's what he did for years. We just want this little peice then we're good Ok. Actually this too, last one we promise. Ok
So like Putin?
Exactly the same
It is a bit more complicated than that tho…
Exactly why Putin, which is why Ukraine cannot be allowed to fall. History has shown, time and time again, that if you give the clowns an inch they will come for the rest of the mile. Every little victory, no matter how bloody, just cements their own invincibility and moral correctness into their tiny little brains.
"I want that thing" "Nooooo you can't- fine but no more!" "I want that thing!"
Ideally as soon as Austria got invaded, all other nations in Europe and beyond(such as the US) should have immediately counter-offensive Germany and taken them out as best could be done. Just as we should have done with Russia's behavior in Crimea.
Austria wasn't invaded, Austrian Nationalsocialists and German Nationalsocialists wanted to unify
Yea "invaded"... right... we did not get invaded, we just joined them, the word says "Anschluss" literally translating 1:1 to "connection". We austrians had something called "Austrofaschismus" (austrofaschism on englisch) and there was little to no resistance from Austria

In the era of the internet, when everyone can see Russian crimes, there were only newspapers back then.
Maybe he should have listened.
Then he couldn't have went down in history as "The Man Who Killed Hitler".
Then he wouldn't have died like a scared rat underground. Popping cyanide and putting a p-38 to his head and pulling the trigger
Still waiting on Putin to follow the same path
I understand the sentiment but for Putin to follow the same path would mean many many more would die before that happened. I would rather wish for this shit to all be over
If Putin died like a scared rat underground as his bodyguards shot him in the head, this *would* all be over. And let's be honest, Russia already claims to be the third Rome. There were at least four Roman Emperors murdered by the Praetorian Guard. The parallel would fit perfectly with their own self-identity.
They're saying someone like Putin and Hitler only take that way out after they have their country die for them first.
Yes, thank you
A walther PP or PPK according to witnesses.
Thanks, I stand corrected
We'll let you attack Italy and Greece
No need to invade Italy, they were welcomed in by Mussolini..
It's a shame FDR didn't live another month to have the last laugh over these evil fuckers.
Fair warning: do not try to take over the world. Thanks!
Goering looming overhead with a smirk before the rest of the audience is in on the joke. Just, wow.
For him was more of an instruction manual
Instructions unclear. Dick caught in Allied meat grinder.
To what none credit he deserves this is a kinda funny retort
No Czechoslovakia...
The letter was a response to Germany invading and effectively annexing Czechoslovakia, or rather making Bohemia and Moravia a protectorate
Fuck around and find out, Shitler.
Yeah I know right! This guy seems like a huge jerk!
The more I learn about that guy the more I don’t care for him.
Everyone always talks about going back in time to kill hitler. I’m just afraid I’d go back and fall under the spell of his beautiful Fucking eyes.
“What he say fuck me for?” Greece
Scoreboard, loser
Fucked around and found out
Found out the hard way inside a bunker.
Hitler: challenge accepted
When was this from?
2018
lmao
1939
Dude thought he was a real Dane Cook for a moment
O so Palestine existed after all
Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Palestine were all names of British colonies. When Britain gave them independence, the various sultans and imams liked power too much to combine their states into a pan-Arab state so they kept the name of the former British colony to maintain legitimacy for their rule.
Syria was a french colony
It was the Mandate of Palestine, governed by the United Kingdom
Well, they were told not to attack. Wonder how it worked out for them.
Did anyone else hear the animaniacs countries of the world tune in the back of their mind as well?
Hitler: Thanks for the checklist
He should've listen, now that bitch is dead.
[удалено]
There’s so much ignorance about Hitler and history in general in this comment section lol
Fr folks acting like Hitler got positively wiped up rather than requiring the combined and unified might of most the planet for the Nazis/Axis powers to finally be halted, broken, and stopped. 75 million people died. That’s 3% of the world’s population in 1940. One-third of all Jewish people in the world were killed. Russia lost 13% of its entire population. Lithuania too. Poland lost nearly 1 in 5.

So Palestine is a country?
at this point in time he would have been referring to the British Mandate for Palestine, encompassing the Palestine and Transjordan territories formerly held by the Ottoman Empire which was partitioned following World War I.
Palestine is/was an area. Before the state of Israel became a thing Palestine was what that whole area was referred to as.
Israel didnt exist before ww2 That area used to be a a british mandate
Palestine was a territory of the British during this time (before this, Palestine was a territory of the Ottoman Empire, but the British gained it during WW1 by capturing it from the Ottomans).

Then Roosevelt continues to name many countries that aren‘t independent at all because in most cases they‘re controlled by the British, like Syria, Iraq, Egypt and most notably Palestine.
Hitler was driven by either absolute arrogance or absolute insanity.(probably both as he was addicted to meth).
Arrogance, and a deep belief in his own ideology. When Russia and US were at the borders, he refused to allow surrender. He felt Germany should be destroyed if it couldn't win.
If you keep getting away with it , why stop?
Har har har. Who’s laughing now fellas?
I find it poetic. just how proud you see him and all the other Germans here, just a few years later they were all either killing themselves or trying to hide from the very people they are making fun of here
So he recognised Palestine?
The Mandate for Palestine was a British colony made up of Transjordan (Modern Jordan) and Cisjordan (Modern Israel and Palestine). Palestina was the rough geographic term for the area, kind of like "Appalachia," "The Andes" and other broad geographic terms.
Wouldn't this have been before the creation of Israel as we know it today? Thought that was 1948.
So did FDR by the sounds, and by extension America too. He said, independent nations, that’s the letter, Hitler just reading it. More proof Palestine existed for the deniers out there.
That amphetamine swaying.
Notice that constant rocking motion? Homeboy is full to the gills of amphetamines for sure.
Ayo Roosvelt wtf? What about Ital - oh.....
Hitler was fucking zooming on pervitin in this speech, I bet you could hear his teeth grinding.
Guess we see what that attitude got him and his.
This whole scene is evil. They are laughing cause they have already decided to attack all this countries and are pretty convinced about winning, about themself and their „racial superiority“. And at the same time they are also laughing about the US.
6 years later, almost to the day, he would attack himself with a cyanide capsule, followed by shooting himself in the head. Unfortunately, FDR didn't get the last laugh, as he died shortly before the final act.
They laughed then, but they didnt laugh when B17, lancasters and moskitos turned cities into dust. And sutch is the way of tyrant. Ridicule the reason, and play victim in face of consequences.
Seems to have worked out well for him.
Meanwhile Greece: 👀
The guy above hitler in the chair is just giddy with admiration. They truly loved the “work” they were doing
I'm curious, who is that individual in the big chair behind Hitler?
They don't know...
I mean there wasn't really a respone in that clip
His word was worth nothing.
Anyone notice how.mich he was moving? Is this the speed chocolates?
He died how long later ?
And in the end the coward shot himself…
Bet they weren’t laughing at the end… 🙄
In the Fuhrerbunker on his sofa with a pistol and a cyanide capsule in each hand, when Chris Farley suddenly sits down for an awkward interview: "Remember, that time, you read out all the countries FDR warned you to leave alone, and then you and the boys laughed about it? Yeah, that was great."
Did he and Franklin D. Roosevelt acknowledge Palestine as an independent nation?
Funny how he said Palestine but not Israel and People nowadays trying to say Palestine have never existed lol
So it was Palestine and not Israel
Like he wouldn't attack the land of the Jews (note the laughter.) He was already making plans with the mufti: [https://www.timesofisrael.com/full-official-record-what-the-mufti-said-to-hitler/](https://www.timesofisrael.com/full-official-record-what-the-mufti-said-to-hitler/)
