Probably. There aren't many non-military cataloguing descriptions of the camps for example and millions of surviving Jews don't lie

Bullet Magnet 11-05-2010 01:12 PM

Also millions of dead Jews. They are pretty hard to ignore.

MeechMunchie 11-05-2010 02:35 PM

I think it's less 'History is written by the victors' and more 'History is written by historians'. We don't hear about Hitler going to birthday parties or Nazi Party members knocking one back down the beer hall because it has little impact on life today, and there's only time to learn so much.

ziggy 11-05-2010 02:56 PM

It is pretty much all true. (to enchilado, woops a lot of you beat me to this post.) History is written on different sides of the issue too you know, it's MEANT to be interpreted. And Scrabtrapman, nothing you just said makes any sense either. The holocaust was fucking horrible, and Hitler was basically a soulless bastard on Meth (or became one.) People may make a joke of this, but Methamphetamine does have the ability to remove human compassion and make a person have delusions of grandeur (similar to some types of schizophrenia) and that's why he gave it to the Nazi soldiers; so they did those horrible things without remorse. There's no reason to sympathize with Hitler like MeechMunchie said (although I get the impression you don't seem to like me MM.)

And none of you should criticize a country for not participating in a war. Go fight in one, I'm sure you won't be emotionally scarred or dead.

Hitler was TIME's Man of the Year 1938. While other countries didn't like him or his views, they could see he was successfully rebuilding Der Farterland. So yeah, he was determined to create a strong country before he led it into global domination. He had next to no morals in his execution of this, but some of it worked.

His solution for high unemployment figures didn't - 'Stop counting nearly everyone who's unemployed, and conscript the rest into the army.'

Germany's economy was about to burst again by the time they invaded Poland.

There are some options here.

1. You didn't understand what I was asking.

2. I don't understand your answer.

3. You're joking.

4. You're a vile and disgusting person.

I have no idea which of these is correct.

5. All of the above

i was just baiting you, but when i logged on and saw that you'd replied, i really couldn't be arsed to follow it through. what with being intoxicated and all.

Havoc 11-05-2010 05:26 PM

Maybe you're all just taking that saying a little bit too literal, as it just means that the course of history is decided by who-ever wins/prevails. This is pretty obvious since history would be different if the other side won, now wouldn't it?

As for actual written history, I think that Hitler's book Mein Kampf pretty much says it all on that subject. He didn't win, yet he wrote. End of topic.

Oh arguments on the internet dissolving into the Holocaust. The one thing that will be forever contingent with the interwebs.

enchilado 11-05-2010 07:13 PM

I heard the Jews were carried to the gas chambers in black helicopters.

DOES THIS MEAN SOMETHING

ziggy 11-05-2010 07:47 PM

That's really not funny to make jokes about the holocaust. You're an ass.

Santa Claus goes down the chimney.

What caused the Jew's biggest problem?

Daxter King 11-06-2010 01:44 PM

The greatest man that ever lived.

Why did Hitler kill himself?

Wings of Fire 11-06-2010 02:04 PM

Because he knew Germany were going to lose.

When did this stop being funny?

Daxter King 11-06-2010 02:08 PM

The moment you posted in this thread.

Who declared you king of comedy?

If you say so.

Bullet Magnet 11-06-2010 02:37 PM

What is this crap?

Havoc 11-06-2010 03:31 PM

I think they are funny WW2/Hitler/Jew/Gas jokes.

Why did the Jew cross the road?

Phylum 11-06-2010 04:16 PM

Because someone dropped some money?

Nate 11-06-2010 05:28 PM

Hey everyone, guess what? Ench's first post was funny. The rest weren't.

At least not to me and mine is the only opinion that counts

STM 11-07-2010 04:21 AM

Hmm how about I tell a joke...

6 million Jews died in the holocaust.

How about that, did that make anyone laugh? 6 million people dead, by gassing burning, shooting and head smashing. No? No one? I thought you guys thought that dead Jews were funny?

Wings of Fire 11-07-2010 04:45 AM

You shut up too.

Dynamithix 11-07-2010 05:00 AM

This thread is so _____.
