WHO AM I?
I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women.
I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.
Later in life, questions arose over my real name.
My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.
That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career.
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
I became active in local politics in my 30's then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.
I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I was a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.
At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.
But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.
I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.
I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people.
I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.
I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope', together we could change our country and the world.
So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities" like the Jews. My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.
I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with.
I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.

Lots of holes in it but not worth the effort to post a lot of links. But here's a couple off the top of the head.
Hitler was highly decorated WWI soldier which in Germany meant a lot. So his resume wasn't exactly suspect. He was a part of a powerful party movement that was the result of the terrible economic depression that stemmed from the reparations paid to France as part of the negotiations to end the war etc. etc. etc.
some rare footage of hitler has been unearthed from before mein kampf was published....

what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?
"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
That's Outstanding!!!
Who are you?
My guess: You are Glenn Beck?
Why do I think that? Because you can take similarity to anyone... but, it doesn't mean anything.
I can probably come us with similarities between Hitler and Jesus. Does that mean Hitler and Jesus are the same?
I don't think so.
...
Thanx, for playing... please, try again.
Hail, Hail!!!

Hitler and his father were both born in Austria.
Hitler came in second to Hindeberg in the election and was appointed Chancellor by von Hindenberg under pressure by businessmen and international bankers. Hitler was NOT anti-Free Market and anti-Corporation.
Hitler did NOT become the most powerful man in the world. There were other powerful men such as Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin out there at the same time. Hitler is only powerful to you... if you are a Nazi.
...
And ommitted is Hitler's arrest for treason.
Hail, Hail!!!
There was a similar 'Beckism SpaMail' that went around comparing Sarah Palin to Theodore Roosevelt during the 2008 Campaign.
Hint: When you get these in your E-Mailbox in the future... treat them the same as the Nigerian Prince that wants to give you millions of dollars.

Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

the guy was full of hate and later that hate was intensified by drugs (speed) that also affected his decisions in orchestrating battle plans..but the German scientist had it going on so the US "made an offer they couldn't refuse"

Um well the thing is we do for the most part know what is true and what is make believe and it does matter. Since your op started with a an odd mix of half truth soup, the discussion that followed was nothing more then an attempt to untangle the truth from the fiction. So if it "did it's job" well it's job was rather pointless so thanks for wasting everyones time! :yawn:
Sorry you feel that way....
It was something I found from someone else and found interesting
And I think it did spark debate
And I also think it caused some of us to look up and search out some truths that we did not know about before
I really don't agree that "most" know what is true and what is make-believe when it comes to this stuff
Maybe now....some more of us actually do
So to me...yeah, it did it's job

I feel like I may have read over something..... could you be specific?
Just to correct... the only operational jet fighter of WWII was the Luftwaffe's Messerschmidt Me-262. The Germans also put the first cruise missle (V-1) and long range ballistic missile (V-2) into use. And that 'offer' was to forgive and forget all of his Nazi party affiliations and the lives of concentration camp prisoners they took in order to work for us.
Werner Von Braun was a Nazi party member and a commissioned officer in the SS. His V-2 program used slave labor from concentration camps that killed more people (prisoners) in the manufacturing that the weapon did in deployment.
Granted, von Braun was monumental in the early U.S. rocket program... but, it does come with some guilt and shame because his past record as a Nazi. Somehow, the deaths of prisoners from concentration camps under his command are forgiven and forgotten because of his engineering skills. He was appointed lead positions in the U.S. government lived comfortable in wealth for 30 something years and has buildings named after him.
