Your observation is very poignant.

Yes - hope to continue this - I love informed debate.
I'm going to bed now but thank you for a fascinating evening.

yes...I love discussions like this..modern history I loved..20 yrs ago..and still managed to retain facts..
for me..the first and second world war..changed the face of history..so much change..
I remember silly things like Rasputin..how money was worthless in USSR..in revolution..we will pick this up later :)

lol yes - I really should have gone to bed centuries ago but this is too enthralling!

(im smiling here..Sparrow will wake up look at this thread and think "what the heck!"...)

This is a fascinating discussion Lily - I am enjoying it and I hope you are too.
And no, I am not THAT old lol

~~~you are old Errol ; )...lol
(kidding)
I can not debate with someone that has seen it first hand..Im going by what I was taught many moons ago at school...
It is an intersting subject..and tomorrow..Im going to recap..google..and look up stuff..and perhaps then..I will have ammo!..lol ;)

(we started with winston..and now we have ventured on to Hitler!)....
~~apart from jews..gypsies..anyone that wouldnt conform to his mad..ideas..The beginnings of the rich get richer..the poorer...die...
He was greedy..

They did have concentration camps.
Lenin was only immortalised because under a communist regime it made sense to! That's how it works!
I spent time in East Germany and saw the fear that people lived under. I saw first hand the Berlin wall and interviewed people who, overnight, were parted from their families. Does that sound good?

Hitler promised everyone something, so they supported him.

ok.my history is rusty..I am aware many were killed in the Russian Revolution..through starvation..poverty and suchlike..
Lenin couldnt of been that bad if they immortalised him..(preserving him..for all to see)
They were communist...but did they build consentration camps? I do not recall so..
May be simplistic..but Im no historian!...

I think that is a very simplistic way of looking at it.
Incidentally, Germany had their equivalent of the home guard too and they also grew their own vegetables.
And I don't know where you are getting your facts from but Lenin and Stalin were behind some of the greatest mass murders in history!

~~~so did Russia..with Lenin..and Stalin..in Russian revolution..with the 5 yr plan..but they didnt build concentration camps and kill millions..
Adolf got rid of people that were not blonde and blue eyed..(counts me out!)
They lost the war remember!
We here in Ol Blighty..grew our own vegetables..and had the home guard!...lol...There must be a lesson in there somewhere..

He was a total psycho but he turned a dead economy around at a time when other European countries were failing to.

he had warped ideas about people their race colour and creed..He might as well been in charge of the Borg..( Star Trek..next generation)

He assimilated and wanted everyone to conform...He was power crazy....he was a great leader in the context...he brainwashed people..but it ends there...
