It was that he started out sane, but slowly, gradually, went crazy. The problem with hitler wasn’t that he was crazy. It was that he started out sane, but slowly, gradually, went crazy.

The guy was crackers. What's important is the political use he and his "inner circle" put to the common racism, revanchism, nationalism and anti-semitism in germany at that time. There were many jews who were ignored by faking their papers, for example Richard Strauss (jr.) who had a jewish grandfather and was a jew according to the Nuremberg laws. But he also was one of the most popular componists at the time so they just made him aryan. And he's only one of many many examples. The Third Reich and what happened back then is everything but easy to explain. The guy didn’t only have racial issues anyway. The guy was crackers.

Of course it was mostly his social background that influenced him, but it may have turned him from a racist bastard into a bigger racist bastard. Apparently, according to that somewhat spurious psychiatric report the Americans did on him, he thought all Jews had syphallis. I must read Mein Kampf at some point, to see what he really thought about stuff. Apparently Esperanto was part of the Zionist conspiracy to rule us all. @Goldfinger: while said essay does not influence your opinion about Jews significantly, it possibly did strengthen Hitler’s opinon.

One who was beneficial in a lazy sort of way, but who made his presence felt in a more obvious way. I want mountain ranges in the shape of His signature, dammit!

Personally, I think it would be awesome if there really was a god. But so far all the "holy" books supposedly written by god, have disappointed. Too many obvious mistakes and biases. If god does exist, I think they'd be much more impressed by someone trying to determine if they really exist than by blind, unquestioning faith. We have brains, so why not use them?

(and I don't give a fuck what anybody says, we don't and will never know how old the earth truly is) My point is... If there is a god, we would be a bat of an eyelash (assuming god has a human semblance) to god. go pray to your god. best scenario is you get a game like "+1 LIFE" blip above your head that makes some dinging sound and you live forever in the clouds, or wherever the fuck you go. Ever hear the saying that anything this good must be a scam?

As a historian, I recommend the biography by Joachim Fest. Read about his motivation and arguments. You will see that he never argued as a christian. His reasons are representative for the European anti-semitism in the 19th and 20th century, because that is what mainly influenced him. @smedlorificus: I know that essay. And while it may have influenced Hitler, it does not influence my opinion about Jews. For I come from a completely different social background. Hitler already had an anti-semitic predisposition caused by his social background in Vienna, Munich and WWI. Fertile ground, btw, for such things as the stab-in-the-back legend.
