The Other Side Not Spoken Of
Adolf Hitler! Big name right? Probably one of the men and the most significant of them in the modern history of mankind.
I just think that this man fascinates every history student though I’m not an academically history student but still a keen history learner. Every student is taught in the school, “ Hitler was a bad man as he killed innocent people!” Absolutely true and I agree with that. Killing anyone in anyway is bad and any level headed man wont like it. When I say I’m fascinated by this man I’m not happy that he killed people but he is definitely worth admiring the kind of politician he was. This man when he was a boy was a poor unknown painter in Austria and with his determination he stood against others and became one of the greatest dictators of the world!! The kind of carrier he had as an individual was absolutely mind-blowing and I think I would like to praise and congratulate him on that.
This man who didn’t like fresh flowers I think is the only responsible guy to bring up Germany from the exorbitant losses it suffered in World War I to the kind of developed and powerful nation it became later. He had only one focus in life… to make Germany the best damn country in all ways and he had nearly done it hadn’t the Russians conspirated(partially) against Germany, which I think turned the whole course of World War 2.
Lets try to imagine what Adolf Hitler could have been thinking when he said Jews are traitors to Germany considering all possibilities with an assumption he was not a racist.
Ø Maybe that was the only way to unite rest of the Germans.
Ø Since at that time Jews held high posts in offices and were the wealthier population, which was not giving Germans an upper hand.
Ø He was driving away a good amount of population thus the Germans could sustain on the resources left after World war 1.
If looked objectively to the entire record of wars of mankind it’s quite true to say there is no good or bad in world politics, winners have always been good and losers have always been bad because the story is always told by the winners and obviously they wont depict themselves as bad if they want to continue their power and respect.
Hitler and the kind of disciplinarian he was had all habits right in place as all the mothers expect their child to be, like for instance No smoking, No drinking as also believed in Early to bed and early to rise as against Roosevelt and Churchill who were heavy drinkers and smokers with hardly any discipline in their lives. Interesting right?
If a person as strong as Hitler replaces the corrupt rulers of our countries, he can do miracles, please undermine greatness of the leadership of Hitler by saying that he was imperialist and ambitious, but in fact he was against injustice of Treaty of Versailles and wanted justice in order to bring back honour to Germany. He said during Disarmament Conference that Germany could not unilaterally disarm, rather disarmament should be on the basis of equality; either all should disarm to the same extent or no one should and look at the greatness of his Army, that he overran almost entire Europe in some days, who believed that man controls his luck! Looking from the other side of the Disarmament policy of the Allies it can also be thought that they were trying to weaken Germany further so that they have their own RAJ around the world. How many of us would like a leader that is as per the following equation:
Ideal Leader = Hitler - Racism - Unjustified Killing.

ber the Nathuram Godse conspiracy against Mahatma Gandhi?? Even today many Maharashtrian Brahmins say Nathuram Godse did the right thing by killing the Father of India as people don’t know the other face of the story of the Mahatma.And why don’t the people know the other side has been explained by saying, “ We are taught history only from Congress point of view since they were in power since 1947!”
Doesn’t that make us curious what could the other side of the story be or whether it really has any other side or not? (Did you ever realize that we got history books with nearly 75% pages dedicated to the moderates and the rest 25% to the extremists and then the extremists history is never as detailed as that of the moderates and I’m sure none of us (average Indians) today can write even 10 lines on revolutionaries of our country like Chandrashekhar Azad, Sukhdev or Madam Cama)
Well thinking on same lines but slightly different try to imagine some questions like, “ What can the other side of the story of World War 2 be??” “Are we taught history only from the point of view of the Allied Forces and that’s all we know?” or a bigger question like, “ What if Germany won the war? Would Hitler have taught us some different history about the world?” or even a bigger question, “Is there a other side at all that the defeated couldn’t ever express…. Which would bring out even a bigger question about our existence, as what we follow today is only what the winners taught us who necessarily need not be the idols for a disciplined and a correct way of life………… What do you think?

Waah true true. I've always wondered what lies in Germany's history textbooks - their view on the entire World War. They're now legally bound not to deny the Holocaust.. One famous English author (I dont recollect his name) got thrown in prison because he denied that the Holocaust ever happend.
Who's telling the truth ? Who's to know ?
mindblowing.......luved ur way of interprating n expressing the whole situation....u seem to be the supporter of extremists.....right...watever it is, the article is very impressve n might raise controversies...a large number of people might be holding a different perspective....but i must say u sound like a pro now.....good going....great effort...nupur
Interesting reading. I like the point you make about winners rewriting history- BJP's recreated history in the school textbooks of India could be a case in point here. However, I cannot say that I side with your view about Hitler ever being a good leader, plus or minus his extremism.
hey liked the ur equation of an ideal leader.. we can add some more to it
Ideal Leader= Hitler- Racism- Killing+ patience :)
