This is anti Hitler propaganda, because you chose a pic where AH isn't smiling to make him look more hitler ๐Ÿ˜‘

You got me. I confess: I have a bias against hitlers.

You know, I just realized I don't think I'd ever seen a picture of Hitler smiling.

So I looked it up. And there are plenty of them. And he looks...nice. Like, it's weird. He looks like the fun uncle. He looks like there should be a mockumentary of him where he's played by Steve Carell.

One of the big things they taught us in history lessons was how he came across very charismatic and that he was good at winning people over.

It's really important for people to understand and learn in order to not repeat the mistakes of populism, evil people don't generally go around shouting about how evil they are.

I'm pretty sure that he kept his relationship with his wife a secret, so that women in the country would be interested in him

I thought it was to give of the image that he was married to the country, showing his patriotism or whatever

Yeah, maybe that was a reason too

Looking at the past 4000 years of human history, starting with the Egyptian Pharaohs:

Nope. People dont care, people dont learn. Especially when the make a whole display of how much they learned, like Germany does, you should be worried. Behind the facade lies the fascism, like it is currently furthered by most German political parties.

there should be a mockumentary of him where he's played by Steve Carell.

There's one with Charlie Chaplin
