Current Events > How did Hitler treat German citizens that met his racial standards?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Was he a decent leader to them or would he shoot them for sneezing without permission like Stalin?

If you were his political opponent you were there in the camps next to the Jews.

People like to think Hitler was merely racist but the truth is he was never going to stop at genociding everyone but the ubermensch. It would just be anyone on "the list" your genetics, religion, and nationality wouldn't matter in the end.

ironically none of the top ranking Nazis met them either. there's even a propaganda cartoon from the era making fun of this

He killed a bunch of different types of people. Even if you were blond and blue eyed and German you might still end up in a camp. I probably would have, due to having Autism. Disabled people. Gay people. Communists. Those for sure I know he was after. I'm sure there were others too

He made an exception for his childhood doctor, a Jew named Eduard Bloch.

Fascinating story, actually. Hitler vowed lifelong loyalty for Bloch providing medical services to Hitler's impoverished family at discounted prices and sometimes even for free.

Fast forward to the Nazi regime, and Bloch sent Hitler a letter informing him that it was no longer safe for his family because SS officers had begun storming the city.

Hitler personally had a contingent of SS officers protect Bloch and his family, granted him permission to flee for the United States, and even allowed him to bring money, food and goods along the way---all provisions that probably no other Jew ever received from the psychopathic fuhrer.

That just proves yet further what a hypocritical monster Hitler was.

Hitler's mind be like: "he's one of the good ones"

IIRC the services provided were for his sick mother. Though she ended up dying in the end anyway whatever he did do clearly left a strong impression on Hitler.

Anyone that said anything against him was hauled off no dissent allowed

Even if you just said nothing at all you got hauled off.



This guy was executed for the heinous crime of refusing to salute Hitler.

^Last name was Landmesser, IIRC

The Nazi government was a brutal war machine and it forced grueling factory work upon its working class.

So this is just a stealth "Stalin was worse than Hitler" topic right, given TC's history

This is why people comparing Trump to Hitler just shows their ignorance of history.

Sorry didn't realize you were a big fan of Stalin

he forced them to fight an unwinnable war and sent their kids off to indoctrination/breeding camps.

Two politicians who use fascist tactics and rhetoric can be compared by those tactics and that rhetoric, even if their ultimate ends are not the same.

Same reason Bolsonaro, or Mussolini, or Orban can be compared in these ways.

Holocaust survivors made the comparison so...

And this. But apparently their opinions mean less than randos on video game forums

Hitler didn't need to personally order every execution. It was a system, a machine. Layer after layer of officials and party functionaries understood what was required of the faithful: to eliminate the unfaithful.
