Dave Barry once used Hitler as an example that you can write a glowing employee recommendation for anyone ("Mr. Hitler always had very neat uniforms".)
I remembered that quote years later when my brother-in-law was retiring from the Navy. At his retirement ceremony, his commanding officer gave a speech where he said, "He was always impeccably dressed." |

Sorry to disturb you in your childish single edged world view. This here is a sceptic's forum and scepticism is the driver of revisionism. I have a riddle. The last sentence of the text below is pointing towards a famous doctor of biology workingt on his doctor thesis in human medicine. Who is it?
"In 1934, as Germany's sterilizations were accelerating beyond 5,000 per month, the California eugenics leader C. M. Goethe, upon returning from Germany, ebulliently bragged to a colleague, "You will be interested to know that your work has played a powerful part in shaping the opinions of the group of intellectuals who are behind Hitler in this epoch-making program. Everywhere I sensed that their opinions have been tremendously stimulated by American thought . . . I want you, my dear friend, to carry this thought with you for the rest of your life, that you have really jolted into action a great government of 60 million people." That same year, 10 years after Virginia passed its sterilization act, Joseph DeJarnette, superintendent of Virginia's Western State Hospital, observed in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, "The Germans are beating us at our own game." More than just providing the scientific roadmap, America funded Germany's eugenic institutions. By 1926, Rockefeller had donated some $410,000 -- almost $4 million in today's money -- to hundreds of German researchers. In May 1926, Rockefeller awarded $250,000 toward creation of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Psychiatry. Among the leading psychiatrists at the German Psychiatric Institute was Ernst Rüdin, who became director and eventually an architect of Hitler's systematic medical repression. Another in the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute's complex of eugenics institutions was the Institute for Brain Research. Since 1915, it had operated out of a single room. Everything changed when Rockefeller money arrived in 1929. A grant of $317,000 allowed the institute to construct a major building and take center stage in German race biology. The institute received additional grants from the Rockefeller Foundation during the next several years. Leading the institute, once again, was Hitler's medical henchman Ernst Rüdin. Rüdin's organization became a prime director and recipient of the murderous experimentation and research conducted on Jews, Gypsies and others. Beginning in 1940, thousands of Germans taken from old age homes, mental institutions and other custodial facilities were systematically gassed. Between 50,000 and 100,000 were eventually killed. Leon Whitney, executive secretary of the American Eugenics Society, declared of Nazism, "While we were pussy-footing around ... the Germans were calling a spade a spade." A special recipient of Rockefeller funding was the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics in Berlin. For decades, American eugenicists had craved twins to advance their research into heredity...... Answer: Josef Mengele http://www.waragainsttheweak.com/off...ww.sfgate.com/ |

@MaxMurx
There were racists and proponents of the heredity principle in the USA in the nineteen thirties? Pass the smelling salts - I think I'm going to faint! |

MaxMurx, can you explain how your last post relates to the OP?

What's your point here? Are you trying to suggest that Hitler was innocent of the outrages and enormities attributed to him? Or that they never took place? Is that why you have linked to "jrbooksonline" a site peddling monstrous Nazi trash? What does the "jr" in this site name stand for, by the way?

I like the IHR's "References for further reading" on the topic of the nasty statements falsely attributed to poor Adolf. These contain the following valuable and trustworthy sources:

The Hossbach Protocol is another example of a forged document which has been used by anti nazi propagandists. www.ihr.org/jhr/v04/v04p372_Weber.html

Has anyone noted how, after the opening post...
Mondial has responded to no one at all, except himself? Here are all his posts (I snipped the content of the OP where he quoted it, but left the quote tags): Is this failure to communicate with other humans indicative? If yes, of what?

It's indicative of a little word game that deniers and neo-nazis play. Do we think it's a coincidence that four out of five deniers on here raise issues about "name calling"? It's too bad that BrightTM has been taken by chicken-poop agnostics, because that's the sort of warm and fuzzy moniker they're looking for. "Mods, I beg your pardon, but I would prefer not to be referred to as Holocaust Denying Nazi Filth. We prefer "tattle tale gray historical revisionist and mid-20th Central Europe reviewer."
Mondial has probably achieved his purpose. He's got a lovely thread in the respected JREF Forums, and is the second hit if you Google "Did Hitler Really Say That?" Is it a coincidence that any variation on that Google search brings up two Wikiepedia articles and forty denialist sites? I believe this is a concerted effort, just as "don't call me a Holocaust denier" and "where did I ever say I hate Jews" is also a repeated and concerted effort. They are nazi cowards and are not content with their manifesto only drawing in fellow haters. They want to try to suck in the "neutral" public, a larger and larger population of the young, e.g. those who are too young and too poorly read to have actually learned about those decades. So Mondial's done good. He probably goes back to NazisAreUs.com and gets little brownie points for this. We're in a different world, now. No one's going to read all those thousand page books. They want sound bytes and snappy short answers, preferably backed by some music on YouTube. The quickie results they can seed the internet with, the more dupes they take in. Maybe not hard core members, but at least fools who'll honestly answer polls and such with "uh, I don't know".... According to the nazis, Hitler just got a lot of bad press because the Jews control the media and the history books and all the photographers cameras and eyewitness accounts. They're trying to correct that, one Google byte at a time. |

I actually wonder if this shouldn't count as spam for the IHR.
