Before sitting in judgement on Der Fuhrer, posters should read American-Swiss psychoanalyst Alice Miller's close study of his childhood experiences at the hands of a brutal, sadistic, viscious authoritarian father/indulgent enabling mother. "The Roots of Violence in Childhood"(?)

Ignorant Irish central, Irish folk music involves songs and stories, You don't find many uileann pipe players singing Spancil hill or Fenian men, what they probably mean is traditional Irish tunes, airs especially slow airs on the uileann pipes are hauntingly nice when played well. So I guess hitler liked music played well, I wonder if stalin, mao, castro or the other heroes of this publication liked music as well.

This is such a stupid story as are some of the comments. Adolf Hitler had many likes and dislikes. Just because he liked something doesn't mean it somehow becomes infected. What music did Stalin like? or Charles Trevelyan?. We know Cromwell didn't like having any fun (accept massacaring innocent Irish civilians) which included music.

My great-uncle was with the 42nd Infantry Div., U.S. 7th Army who liberated Dachau concentration camp in April 1945. For the rest of his life, my great-uncle was haunted by the horrors he personally witnessed there. He often had nightmares from having seen the people who had endured the atrocities committed by members of the "pure Aryan race". There are no words to adequately express how deeply my entire family and I despise Hitler and his SS and Gestapo buddies. "Evil" doesn't even begin to cover it.

The thought that of that evil, repulsive sociopath Hitler loving Irish folk music makes me sick.

Have seen archive film footage of Der Fuhrer doing a little abbreviated terpischory at some Keep in the Alps, and in colour too. Proof positive that someone who quite evidently took the world far too seriously could progress from goose-stepping to a few jigs and reels in his all too little spare time. Almost enough to endear him to Ireland's current Mininster for Defence.

Also, take a look at the article from The American Hebrew, October 31 1919, prophesying a ‘holocaust’ of ‘six million’: The Crucifixion of ---s Must Stop!
By Martin H. Glynn ( Former Governor of the State of N.Y.)
"From across the sea six million men and women call to us for help, and eight hundred thousand little children cry for bread.
These children, these men and women are our fellow-members of the human family, with the same claim on life as we, the same susceptibility to the winter’s cold, the same propensity to death before the fangs of hunger. Within them reside the illimitable possibilities for the advancement of the human race as naturally would reside in six million human beings. We may not be their keepers but we ought to be their helpers.
In the face of death, in the throes of starvation there is no place for mental distinctions of creed, no place for physical differentiations of race. In this catastrophe, when six million human beings are being whirled toward the grave by a cruel and relentless fate, only the most idealistic promptings of human nature should sway the heart and move the hand.
Six million men and women are dying from lack of the necessaries of life, etc etc etc...." The "six million" figure once more and not a Hitler in sight

Max Nordau (1849-1923) was the co-founder of the World Zionist Organization together with Theodor Herzl.
Have a look at this Max Nordau quote from Ben Hecht’s book ‘Perfidy’ – which is available for free in PDF format on the net (on page 232 of 261) In the Zionist Congress of 1911, 22 years before Hitler came to power, and three years before World War I, talking about the plight of Russian hordes, Nordau said, Quote: “How dare the smooth talkers, the clever official blabbers, open their mouths and boast of progress. . . . Here they hold jubilant peace conferences in which they talk against war. . . . But the same righteous Governments, who are so nobly, industriously active to establish the eternal peace, are preparing, by their own confession, complete annihilation for six million people, and there is nobody, except the doomed themselves, to raise his voice in protest although this is a worse crime than any war . . .” unquote. See, if you do the research, you'll learn the truth and the truth will set you free. Also, it will stop you making a complete fool of yourself, as is evidenced here by the unlearned fools posting propaganda.
