    Yeah thanks to Hitler it's no longer acceptable for someone of European descent to be proud of their heritage.

    You need a permission for being proud of your heritage?

    "If Germany re-establishes her trade in the next 50 years, we shall have fought the war (WW1) in vain
    ."
    Winston Churchill interviewed by the London Times in 1919

    "This is not a peace. It is an armistice for twenty years"
    French marshal Ferdinand Foch on the Treaty of Versailles in 1919

    "Our ideal is to round Poland off with frontiers on the Oder in the West and the Neisse in Lausatia, and to reincorporate Prussia, from the Pregel to the Spree. In this war no prisoners will be taken, there will be no room for humanitarian feelings. We shall surprise the whole world in our war with Germany."
    Polish newspaper Mosarstwowiecz (1930), three years before Hitler's rise to power.

    I don't think that can be blamed on Hitler. Even assuming the 'official' versions are true, the communists killed far more people than Hitler, and it's still fine to be a socialist (at least in the circles of the elites)

    It's completely irrelevant to the question of whether he was a highly significant contributor to the world politics of his time. National Socialism was world-shaking, and it could only be obliterated with practically the whole globe joining forces against it.
    In this sense, Lenin himself would deserve a mention here.

    As far as I know, "best" politicians aren't necesserily our "favourite" ones.

    Yerevan, Armenia, perhaps the tallest Stalin.

    Gustav II Adolf



    He's probably the best politician in Northern European history, he started the Swedish golden age, founded Tartu University in Estonia(1632) and he has been called the "father of modern warfare".

    Didn't know being proud and celebrating ones heritage is the same as Nazism



    If you ask any Norwegian if he is proud of his hertiage I think the majority will say yes.
