I didnt say you thought Hitler was stupid. I never disagreed with it being in bad taste, but I really dont see the necessity of being outraged and fueling the fire of publicity even more. I would eat there just to see what was going on, but other than that, its just another gimmick.
Let's say you made a serial killer themed restaurant, and it showcased EVERY serial killer ever in mankind. Im sure somewhere, someone is going to be offended because of some sort of relation to a victim or whatnot, but in the end, the restaurant isnt promoting killing, its just themed after people who were made famous by being vicious killers. |
Yeah i just think its slimey intentionally offending a group of people to get a quick buck.

He never took part in the Manhattan Project. Although he did send a letter to the US telling them to study the science before the Nazis get to it first. |

A lot of people overstate Hitler's genius - he was far more charismatic than he was rational and intellectual. His Military strategy was piss poor, and utterly useless - in fact, his decisions and directions led to the overall German loss in World War II - both on the Eastern front, and the Western front. His arrogance led to continually strategic contradictions amongst he and his Generals, and his insistance on idealogical battles spread his military thin on useless goals - something which an intelligent man would have certainly avoided.
He was a poor Art student, and lacked much of an education - he was a poor writer, and his rise to prominance was due more to chance (being in the right place at the right time) and obsession with power.
Hitler is one of those guys who's Charisma is too often mistaken for genius - its almost like people adorn him with Superhero qualities. |

Ah, I knew after its creation, he spoke of it being a downfall on mankind, but I never knew if he had anything to do with it being made. I remember watching a documentary on TLC about it, but it was years ago and ive practically forgotten everything. |

Einstein initially favored construction of the atomic bomb, in order to ensure that Hitler did not do so first, and even sent a letter to President Roosevelt (dated August 2, 1939, before World War II broke out, and probably written by Leó Szilárd) encouraging him to initiate a program to create a nuclear weapon. Roosevelt responded to this by setting up a committee for the investigation of using uranium as a weapon, which in a few years was superseded by the Manhattan Project.
After the war, though, Einstein lobbied for nuclear disarmament and a world government: "I do not know how the Third World War will be fought, but I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

Charisma is right. That charisma still has its effect on neo-natzis, skinheads, the KKK, and anyone who supports him as a person and leader. |
