    Default 10 Things You Don't Know About

    I like the way this show is organized. It's a quick way to teach new historic info.

    I watched the Adolf episode. I already knew that he was a painter. It turns out that there are mind-blowing things about him. I didn't know that he had Jewish friends when he was a student. I didn't know that he received the Iron Cross First Class during WWI, and that a Jewish officer was the one who recommended it. I didn't know that he was homeless after WWI, and that a Jewish guy felt pity on him and helped him survive the cold. No one thought that he'd become an evil person. History is more twisted than any fiction novel.

    The other episodes are pretty good. I watched the Caligula and Lincoln episodes too. I'm looking forward to the Shakespeare one.
    Wooooo!!!

    ffs
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    He proposed to a Jewish girl too, and she turned him down.
    Hitler's mother is also his Fathers' adopted-daughter.
    Most of his customers and benefactors were also Jewish..

    It is a sad twisted tale of an individual who by all accounts, was abnormal in his behaviour and personality, propelled forward through circumstance, cronynism, political ambition and some very talented minds (such as Goebbels).

    And he loved dogs too, and was a vegetarian... He probably drink milk when he was a baby. And...? What is the purpose of this? To show that monsters are at the start normal babies?

    It's the opposite. It was to show how hard it is to expect who would become a monster. You didn't finish reading my message.

    What's so wrong with learning something from a t.v. show. It's not like everyone has time to sit there and read books on every single subject known to man.

    have you ever seen that video clip of him playing with his dog?
    it is very clear from the dog's body posture that it's terrified of him.

    I wouldn't read too much into that. Some dogs, particularly pure (in) bred ones, can get really weird when groups of strangers (like say a film crew) just show up.
