Six Myths about Hitler that continue to Deceive people.
Much of what is held about Hitler is false. History feels safer with these myths yet one does not see the actual danger of how power functions.
1. The “Broken Body” Myth
Jokes about Hitler having a micro-penis or physically deformed were wartime jokes. Britain made them make him appear weak. There is no abnormality in medical records. The fact is even more frightening: he was physically normal.
2. The “Afraid of Cats” Story
No evidence to show that he was afraid of cats. He just liked dogs and even wanted to appear nice in society with his dog, Blondi. The rumor about cats lives due to the fact that people like to think about the evil leaders and their strange fears.
3. The “He Didn’t Know” Excuse
This is false. Hitler was aware of the holocaust. He developed a system in which the officials responded to his wishes without written directives. It was no mistake, it was deliberate.
4. The “Simple Life” Image
Hitler was not poor or modest. He got lots of money in form of image royalties and secretly rewarded loyal generals. Corruption was disguised propaganda.
5. The “Sudden Takeover” Belief
The Nazi domination did not occur in one day. It came in steps. Certain individuals felt secure initially which prevented resisting. It was already too late when the fear came.
6. “He Loved Germany”
Hitler commanded the demolition of Germany when it was hopeless. In case the country was not victorious, he felt that it had no right to exist.
That wasn’t love. It was obsession.
