Hitler VS Stalin

[dragomix]

Who is WORSE?

[Craterus]

It's a matter of opinion really..

But I'll say Hitler. He went off the rails and lost the war.

[Taedius]

It becomes a question of what "worse" is: Number of dead or total destruction?

To me, the question is pointless. They were both bad, and let's hope we never see anything like it again.

[bedlam28]

Quite a disturbing question really; wonder what motivated that.

currently reading 'One day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' about a prisoner of one of Stalin's Siberian Gulag's. But at least Stalin had no incinerators in his camps.
The damage of Hitlers Focused hatred is still a scar on all our history.

Personally I prefer Road Runner or Wily : who was most bad...
I think that Road Runner was just plain evil....
just my opinion

[Innocentius]

Hitler intended to kill people. Stalin just didn't care if a few million died while reforming the industries.

[Slartibardfast]

Hard to say but for my money Most Evil Barstard circa WW2 has to go to..........

It's a draw.

Prescott Bush and Herbert Walker who with their business associates at Brown, Root and Harriman, now a subsidiary of Haliburton, financed the NAZI party from its infancy. They eventually become Hitlers bankers and supplied a lot of oil, spare parts, etc; to the NAZI war machine. A Congressional Trial, post Pearl Harbour, exonerated them of the charges of "dealing with the enemy".

No political party or war gets off the ground without someone throwing copious amounts of money at them. Killing masses of people in the cause of a demented ideology is ordinary "being completely plain insane". Providing the financial platform to enable the killing masses of people in the cause of a demented ideology in order to simply make a huge monetary profit takes "the Most Evil Barstard cake" in my books.

I'll vote Stalin. Hitler managed to recover Germany at least.

[Craterus]

Hitler FTW!

This topic really doesn't belong in a fuzzy place like the EH.

Anyway,

[pvt_isaac]

Hitler. Period.

Hello, the purges?

Anyway, I vote for Mao .

[Phoenix]

I voted Hitler as he started the war, was responsible for the Holocaust, and his Lebensraum policy called for the extermination of the Slavs. As rotten as he was, Stalin never tried to exterminate an entire ethnic group AFAIK.

[caravel]

I voted for caravel. He was easily the worst after executing thousands of prisoners, and installing Windows 98SE on his computer.

I suggest you send it too the Backroom where some poor moderator can look after it there.

[Julian the apostate]

two things one i don't think there is a criterion to decide. can you say it by who started the war or who manipulated who or their dealings with political enemies or who killed more people or why
without a specific critea u can't really decide
also i just think its funny the thread creator is a junior member when this gets moved to the monestary and the junior members can't touch it
sadly i'm a junior member to and it just happened to me but i think its funny personally

MWAHAHAH

[drone]

Stalin had a better moustache.

[Craterus]

Stalin had a better moustache.

I thought that too..

[Julian the apostate]

i love u
stalin wins world war mustache

[Csargo]

PWNED

[Taedius]

Yes, before he turned Europe into a pile of rubble.

[LegioScythia]

Hitler both of them were murderers but that was Hitlers plan all along to exterminate the jews,slavs,and other people who he considered inferior

[CrossLOPER]

I'll vote Stalin. Hitler managed to recover Germany at least.

...and Comrade Stalin transformed a giant farming village into an industrial super power that rivaled nations for years to come....

We will recover...

[Warluster]

But hitler inly ruled for 12 years! Stalin went onfor ages, plus he slaughtered people when they revolted, like The Czech's, they got killed over a riot( nearly killed) plus stalin, like hitler, had secret police, they were both bad, but hitler the worst.

[Subedei]

Come on, what a question. Bet on soccer games or anything if you wanna talk about "vs."



My all-time evil favorit is Garry Oldman in "Leon"...click...click....

[Jxrc]

Two nasty bastards if you ask me.

Very similar in many way moreover (take a look at the parallel biographies by A. Bullock if you are interested).

Both killed millions of people to carry out their own crazy "grand design" but I would say that to me Hitler is worse because of the racial element "justifying" its deeds. At least with Stalin there was at least a small theoretical possibility to demonstrate that you had ceased to be the enemy he had dreamt all about.

... history is always strange .. tri not to make decisions to quickly .. What one did in a period of 4 yeas the other did in 15 ... so the question is not relevant ... reed obout it ... and yes when it comes down to numbers Stalin is the winner here ... and he "loved" jews ... if you get what i mean ..
just because the allies chose the lesser worse of tho ? at least one was not playing innocent .. no offence ..

Yes; and Trotsky was a very dear friend of his.

Not true. Hitler's plan wasn't all along to kill the Jews. He actually thought he could defeat the UK and then force them to let Germany use there Navy to ferry all of the Jews in Europe to Madagascar. If you don't believe me look it up in wikipedia. That was called the Madagascar Plan.

[Andres]

They were both pure evil, so I vote :
