Stalin and Hitler

[Woodlouse2002]

I think Hitlers father came from a Jewish background. But with Nazi ideology this didn't matter as the jewishness went down the mothers side of the family.

As for Stalin being a useless military commander, this he was, but unlike Hitler, Stalin realised this and quickly gave control of his armies to his Generals and didn't interfere.

As for who is worse, it is Hitler, simply because of the brutal efficiency at which he disposed of those ethnic groups he didn't like.

what about Gabriel Princip (im not sure if thats his first name) but because of his ideological ideas he was the spark responsible for the first world war, and that was cleaned up in a messy way. Because of this he could have been liable to blame for the second as well. simply because he put two bullets into Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria Hungry.!
but since it is out of hitler and stalin, i would say that they are both as bad as eachother.
on one hand hitler wa a cleaver man but sometimes he lied through his teah. an example of this is when he marched right into the rhineland with troops. this was a de-militerized zone after WW1 and he was completely defying the Treaty of Versailles. To be honest, UK and US should have put a firmer foot down. He was lucky though as there was an attempt to kill him by one of his generals. cant remember the name but he only had 1 eye!
on the other hand is stalin. He did for a long time negotiate with the uk and us and italy during the conferences of potsdam and the like. but he was more of an eil man than hitler. he grew up knowing only of power. he thought himself as dictator and king of the world in his opinion. infuriating him over the change of currency in germany after it was in control of the allies was a bad idea on the UK and USA front.


That was a little bit of my GCSE history for you. ive got my exam in about 7 weeks so wish me good luck.  ;)


i really think stalin was worse as he was plain evil whereas hitler did what he did because he wanted a better world for germany.

thanks

He didn't do that just one single time...the whole german army after 1935 was -seen from the treaty of Versailles- completely "illegal".
He didn't care about it either,he just wanted revenge for it on the French.

He was lucky though as there was an attempt to kill him by one of his generals. cant remember the name but he only had 1 eye!

Graf von Stauffenberg. Stunning plan for an assassination and the "life after",but a wooden table saved Hitler's life. This wasn't the only attempt to kill him. There were dozens,if not  hundreds more...

Gavrilo Princip was spared from a death sentence only because he was a minor (17) when he fired the bullets.  The Austrians would have concocted some other excuse to "deal with the Serbian matter"  even if it had not been handed to them on such a nice platter as the assasination of the Archduke.
