Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf

I don't see why people bring up that he's intelligent.

I mean, it's true, but it's not really that important. Anyone who rises that high out of obscurity is usually pretty smart, but he definatly wasn't a genuis prodigy.

He's a racist and genocide prodigy I guess. Very little was lost in translation, it was mostly an autobiography, followed by some jew hating.

Theres not much that even can be lost in translation from german to english. Just cultural refrences, and the cultures of england and germany are close enough to where those don't really matter anyway.

There are much better biographies of hitler to understanding him then reading his autobiography. He's not that deep of a charecter. He was born, hated his father, got kicked out of art school, went to a political university where he really stared hating jews, went to world war 1, got gasssed a few weeks before the end, and ended up sitting in a hospital where he blamed the loss of the war on the jews.

then he joined the NSDAP. His hatred for the jewish people wasn't deep, he didn't know many jews, he was just a hatefilled charismatic orator and military strategist who used some faily effective orration to get germany to form a wartime economy.

 

^^^ S'true

 

I don't think the original's that great either, when it comes to Hitler's writing...
But maybe that's just a matter of taste.
And maybe it also has to do with the personal fact that a book that degrades Jews as much as Mein Kampf, can't be seen as a greatly written book to me...
But overall I don't think he wrote great German sentences, which is the main reason I think it's not that great.

Anyway, Hitler had a sick mind..

 

Yeah whatever,
I guess trying to say something in this thread is something you cant do because people cant take what's said.
Shame, wasted subject I guess.

Enjoy your debate.

Peace
