Too bad. I wanted to see what Aldof thought was the average airspeed of an unladen swallow.

Me: What is the average airspeed of an unladen swallow?

Hitler: Life in Germany under the Nazis (National Socialists) depended very much on who you were. If you were an Aryan, then life could be good. If you were "an undesirable", then things were very different indeed!

He said "African or European?".

Teehee.

Hitler: Pay attention, you fool! Life in Germany under the Nazis (National Socialists) depended very much on who you were. If you were an Aryan, then life could be good. If you were "an undesirable", then things were very different indeed!

My name is Luka.

My name is Adolf Hitler. Note the spelling - it's not ADOLPH.

I live on the Second Floor.

I can't believe how stupid you are. I did not start a world war in 1939, and would not wish to start one if I was alive today. It only started because Britain and France would not accept my takeover of Poland. They declared war on me, not vice versa!

I think it's because I'm clumsy. I try not to talk to too loud.

You are obviously brainless as well as ugly. Does this face look bothered?.

You only hit until I cry!

My father Alois was illegitimate and his mother was called Schicklgruber; she married a man called Heidler, from which the surname 'Hitler' developed! He was cold and brutal and beat me and my mother occasionally.

Just don't argue anymore.

Hmmm... on the lighter side:

Do you suck balls?

Hmm.... There is a vicious rumour that I lost one of my testicles when I tried to urinate in the mouth of a goat for sexual thrills. Whether that is true or not is none of your business, but I am certainly not any less of a man because of it.

Did you burn in hell?

You ask idiotic questions. I am an atheist and I don't believe in the existence of heaven and hell. I told Albert Speer: 'it is easy for me to end my life. A brief moment and I'm freed of everything, liberated from this painful existence'.

Hitler doesn' know how much wood a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Told me to submit the question to the webmaster.

I asked Henry VIII the following:

Who do you think is more dangerous, Bush or Bin Laden?

The answer I got:

I have no knowledge of Osama bin Laden. I think someone said he had a better beard than me, but I can't believe that!

Me: Nice tache

Hitler: I used to have a 'handlebar' moustache like my father, but in 1913 my siter-in-law suggested that I should cut off the points. Years later, when she saw my picture in a newspaper she said, 'Adolf has gone too far!'. Well, at least it's distinctive, I suppose...recently some people even painted my 'tache onto a poster of Britney Spears, arguing she was trying to take over the (pop) world!

heh.

I got an 'atheist' quote too:

I am an atheist. I believe that all religions are worthless. The world is about survival of the fittest, not 'love thy neighbour'!

What total bull. Hitler never said he was an atheist, and invoked the name of God frequently in his speeches.

"Who is the NL MVP - Bonds or Pujols?"

"Listen carefully. Adolf Hitler is my name, death and destruction and bigotry my game!"

I think he's voting for Smoltz

"What's your favorite Mel Brooks movie?"

"Whilst my hair is black, my eyes are brown - so knowing how self-obsessed I am, that is probably my favourite colour. Yes, I know they're supposed to be blue...I had bad eyesight and took cocaine eye drops to alleviate the discomfort. I refused to wear glasses, however, as I regarded this as a sign of weakness."

He's changing the subject..

I simply mentioned, "Alle sieben Sekunden stirbt ein deutscher Soldat" and he replied with "Either your English is terrible or there is a gap in my brain - why not submit that question to the webmaster?".

I guess he doesn't like being reminded of Stalingrad.

So a while back, I tore down an old shed on my parent's property. Stuffed into the walls were several magazines from just before the war broke out. One of the most interesting articles that I found was an interview with stalin, talking about hitler. (1939 or so.) I've scanned it and put it online for your reading pleasure. I thought about posting to the front page... but didn't want to be a self-linking bastard. Enjoy: http://www.woil.ws/hitler/

Q: What is the sound of one hand clapping?

A: During World War One I won the iron cross twice for bravery after acting as a 'runner' delivering messages between different sections of the front. It was not luck that was responsible for me surviving the flying bullets of world war one and the Munich Beer Hall Putsch. It was FATE. As I said in 'Mein Kampf', I was always destined to be the messiah for Germany.

Reminds me of those Onion "Ask a........." articles.

This just brings up another question. Who the heck was the author of the piece, Princess Catherine Radziwill?

Woil, what magazine is your interview from?
posted by dgaicun at 3:53 PM on August 23, 2003


Q - Why couldn't Germany and the rest of Europe stay at peace?

A - That's an interesting point. I did not start a world war in 1939, and would not wish to start one if I was alive today. It only started because Britain and France would not accept my takeover of Poland. They declared war on me, not vice versa!

Q - Was invading Poland a good idea if it led to war?

A - I did not start a world war in 1939, and would not wish to start one if I was alive today. It only started because Britain and France would not accept my takeover of Poland. They declared war on me, not vice versa!

Q - Would it have been better to send the Jews to Israel than to kill them?

A - In my view, Jews in particular have no loyalty to any nation and only look out for themselves. I felt that it was their profiteering in World War One that divided the Master Race and brought us to a humiliating defeat and needed to be punished. Wherever I went I began to see Jews and the more I saw, the more sharply they became distinguished in my eyes from the rest of humanity. Julius Streicher was one of the first people I used to promote anti-semitism.

Q - Does it disturb you to know you are a universally despised man now?

A - I am a controversial character - racist, sexist, evil, perhaps!. I believe that races are naturally inclined to conflict and fight for supremacy, and that the Aryan Race must triumph in this battle of 'Social Darwinism'.

Q - Aren't races actually a myth?

A - In my view, both world wars were caused because the world ganged up on Germany; Germany lost both world wars because it was 'stabbed in the back' by the 'enemy within'. In World War One, the spineless leaders of democracy insisted on humiliating surrender. In World War Two, the German people were infected with propaganda and were a disgrace to the Aryan race. Naturally, I bear no responsibility at all - I am a genius!

Q - Is it true you were abused as a child?

A - Despite having a horrible childhood myself, I genuinely liked children and young people - who would form the new generation of violent warriors for the 1000 year Reich. I never had any of my own (I was not interested in sex, to be frank), although I am sure that they would have been 'supermen' like me if I had any. I encouraged women to have children for the Fatherland and even offered SS men to provide the service - these children were part of the 'Lebensborn' programme..

Q - Some of your generals claim you interfered with war plans.

A - During World War One I won the iron cross twice for bravery after acting as a 'runner' delivering messages between different sections of the front. It was not luck that was responsible for me surviving the flying bullets of world war one and the Munich Beer Hall Putsch. It was FATE. As I said in 'Mein Kampf', I was always destined to be the messiah for Germany.

Q - But then it was your FATE to lose the war.

A - In my view, both world wars were caused because the world ganged up on Germany; Germany lost both world wars because it was 'stabbed in the back' by the 'enemy within'. In World War One, the spineless leaders of democracy insisted on humiliating surrender. In World War Two, the German people were infected with propaganda and were a disgrace to the Aryan race. Naturally, I bear no responsibility at all - I am a genius!

Q - So, how about those Tigers?

A - I'm not too bad considering I have been dead since 1945. Thanks for asking!

Obviously a Cubs fan.

Q - What do you think of America?

A - I hate all Americans and all things American. The 'Swing Youth' in Germany were mainly middle class youngsters who wanted the freedom to wear stupid American clothes and listen to their decadent music such as jazz. The Americans have no class and no pride! Saying that, I liked Henry Ford....

Q - Why did you like Henry Ford?

A - had a large picture of Henry Ford in my office. While Ford publicly protested that he did not like totalitarian governments, in practice that Ford profited from both sides of World War II - from French and German plants producing vehicles at a profit for the Wehrmacht, and from U.S. plants building vehicles at a profit for the U.S. Army!

Was Henry Ford a racist? Use this translator on this page.

This is very very useful...I've finally been able to clear up this rumour.

Q : How many balls do you have?

A: There is a vicious rumour that I lost one of my testicles when I tried to urinate in the mouth of a goat for sexual thrills. Whether that is true or not is none of your business, but I am certainly not any less of a man because of it.

Brilliant...just brilliant....

Q: What are you wearing?

A: I loved the uniform like the one you see me wearing. It gave me a sense of importance. I had a wide variety of uniforms, including a completely white one for the Summer months, and was never seen in public out of uniform once I had discarded the pretence of being a Parliamentary politician. Only at the Berghof did I wear "casuals."

Q: Wanna cyber?

A: I don't understand your question - please submit it to the webmaster to update my brain.

Q: "Oh, Hitler, can't you do anything right?"

A: "Those sorts of value judgements do not interest me in the slightest. Keep your spineless moralising to yourself. History is made by people like me who take tough and perhaps unpopular decisions, not by lily-livered cowards like you!"
posted by kaibutsu at 5:56 PM on August 25, 2003


q: do you blame hypercelibacy for your misery?
a: World Wars are caused by a combination of many motives which I cannot hope to cover here. As far as I am concerned, though, the Second World War only broke out because other countries were not willing to accept that the German people needed Lebensraum - probably because the Jews had given them false information about my peaceful motives!
