Is This the Greatest Hitler Video Ever?
As the man himself says -- "It's a rhetorical question."
Poco?.....I laughed so hard I almost peed. (Of course at my age that's not so hard to do!)
Someday all these Hitler clips should be compiled into one continuous loop and played to the entire planet forever. Or until people stop supporting Trump, whichever comes first.

PS: This year's list of nominees for the R&R HOF may be the worst one ever. Hitler's right - Fuck Jann Weiner!!! I can't wait for your take on it Mr. Simels.
These Hitler videos are a lot of fun, but they might leave viewers with the notion that he was just some unhinged clown. If anyone wants to get a quick history lesson, they should watch 'Triumph of the Will' and then 'Downfall.' Bruno Ganz is fantastic and the film is a perfect depiction of an ideology going to shit: "I don't want my children to live in a world without National Socialism" (Frau Goebels, just before dispatching her kinder).
they're all good, but partial to the one for Yes' "Big Generator"

Nobody thinks that.
