It's believed that he was syphilitic. He only started a little crazy, but he eventually went totally insane.

... Why would you say that? :p

He was a stupid Kraut who thought it would be fun to wipe out my people.

Was he insane? I wouldn't say he had a mental condition, just an extremely distorted view of reality. He had problems, and the atrocities he committed were... well, atrocious. But I doubt he had a SERIOUS mental condition.

Years ago, I'd start ranting about Shitler whenever he was brought up, but I'm being realistic now.


German Lesson for Beginners:

Kraut is German for 'Herb'. He was not a Herb.

It is also a derogatory name for a German. Hitler was not German.

Hitler was Austrian, and all true Germans know that Austrians are farmers... Bloody cultureless backwards Austrian Farmfolk...

Ahem, shut up, Vienna is a lie...

Hitlers obvious association with Germany is enough to allow all insults and commendations regarding Germans passable.

Colombus sailed for 'em, but he never led them. I mean, when you think of Columbus, you think: explorer, sailor, asshole. But not really Spain. You think of Hitler, and Germany will be one of the first.

:eyebrow: He explored for Spain, he sailed for Spain, he was an ass for Spain. Hitler, I think "Holocaust, led Germany, was some nutty Austrian farmer".

Nah, I'm half-German, half-Danish on an invasion tour of the UK, stopped here for a while, got a big bogged down and now I'm looking at moving to New York because my Fiance (who is American) is a little bit homesick...

Austrian's are German... different dialect, but very much the same, woefully separated as states because of the stupid politics of this world.

No, Austrians are our retarded brothers who we have no option but to love but love to hate them and rarely invite them over for Christmas...

I mean, hey, I'm half-Bavarian and we're totally Seperatists! So... Bavaria should be a free state...

Anyway, bloody Austrians have the cheek to call us Bavarians farmers so, no, they're not German and to suggest so would be blasphemy, that's like calling Baaden-Wurtemburgers Germans... which they are but they're NOT TRUE GERMANS!... :lol: I digress, the internal rivalries and fun to be had is just too much

He was pretty genius in the way he seized power, too... And the way he worked on infrastructure and economy. Just a shame he tried to wipe out my lineage, heritage and... oh, half of Europe too...

Given the situation - I don't believe it took too much intelligence.
He was not really the one who seized power - More like he was placed in a position of power.
Still - Look at video footage of the guy - He seriously looks like a mentally handicapped individual - Just needs a little snot running out the nose and he would fit right in on the short bus...

He wasn't crazy. He was evil*. He may have gone crazy toward the end as a result of all the drugs (heroin, cocaine, speed) that his quack doctors were giving him.

There were many other people working on infrastructure and the economy in the background, it most certainly was not his work alone...
