    Pretty sure Hitler shot himself. Either way he killed himself to avoid capture by the red army so the Soviet Union killed Hitler.

    Winning a game can be fun but it's also only fun if there was a possibility of not winning.

            really it was the background of extreme antisemitism, cultural impact of the eugenics movement and obsession with Prussian militarism if I had to pick three factors

              The Prussian military industrial complex was wild. Wehraboos fetishise it. Australians fetishise Rommel far too much. More on this another time.

                I don't think there really were military industrial complexes before ww1 and ww2. Wars back then were considered ruinously expensive and resented by the bourgeoise for their disruption in commodity production. The workers weren't big fans either given all the dying involved but no one cared what they thought

                The British built Rommel up after the war because that makes having beat him seem more impressive. A good general is a general that wins Rommel lost

                  Shall I tell that to his grandson? Not me. A gay guy I used to know. Might be dead now. I last talked to him in 2015. He was abusing cocaine and antipsychotics. Liked guys to shit on his chest.

                    who Rommels grandson? I don't like Rommel because he fought for Nazi Germany I don't see why I would want to involve his family. If Rommels grandson is not a Nazi I think that bygones should be bygones
