I disagree.

The problem started a little further east.

Babalonian, I believe those words are spelled hopefully, and sense.

Tupac, antisemitic sentiment had been around a looooong time before Hitler, and is still very much present today. When the Black Death struck Western Europe, the Jews were the first to be murdered by the mob of ignorant people looking for something to blame for their communities falling mortally ill all around them. To this very day many governments openly denounce Israel. He wasn't the first to persecute the Jews, nor would those of the Jewish faith have been spared had Hitler not come to power.

Dragon, that post was a bit towards the other end of the politically correct spectrum.

This thread will end with a Nazi argument in which someone is called a neo nazi or hitler.

I was referring to the soldiers of the allied powers and soldiers and civilians of the soviet union. I added the holocaust in there.

Germany would have gone to war with, or without Hitler. That said, they probably would have done much much better, and killed many many more Allied servicemen without Hitler.

I doubt Germany would have gone to war without hitler running the show. Although I agree that much of his senior staff could have waged a better war than him.

Or at least had a simpler and more organized chain of command.
