Do you think Hitler was cool?

Answer 1

No. And I'm sure my great-grandparents didn't think he was so cool when they were busy dying in concentration camps.

(Anyway, most cool people don't have only one testicle, like Hilter did.)

Answer 2

Care of "The Producers" Hitler was Happy and gay!!!

The play starts with a musical number, Springtime for Hitler, which contains the memorable chorus "Springtime for Hitler and Germany / Deutschland is happy and gay.../ Springtime for Hitler and Germany/ Winter for Poland and France / Springtime for Hitler and Germany/ Come on Germans, do your dance."

Accompanied by dancing stormtroopers who at one point form a Busby Berkeley-style swastika, the play immediately horrifies everyone in the audience except the author, an unbalanced ex-Nazi named Franz Liebkind, played by Kenneth Mars, and one lone viewer who breaks into applause—and is pummelled by other disgusted theatregoers. As the audience is storming out of the theater, the first scene starts, with LSD dressed up in full Nazi uniform and talking like a beatnik. The remaining audience starts to laugh, thinking that it is a satire, and the spectators return to the theater.

Franz, disgusted, goes behind the stage, unties the cable holding up the curtain and rushes out on stage explaining that this is not how it should go. One of the actors hits him with a pipe through the curtain, and he falls over. The play continues, and the audience thinks that his performance was part of the act.

In the real 2001 Broadway version of The Producers and its subsequent 2005 movie, the part of LSD was not included and Hitler was played by the director, Roger DeBris, who sang a flamboyant solo Heil Myself. Franz was originally chosen by Max to play Hitler, but due to an unfortunate accident after the Good Luck song when he broke his leg (the irony here is that the term 'break a leg' is used instead of 'good luck' on Broadway), Max asked Roger to play Hitler. The swastika choreography at the end is maintained through a large mirror that is raised to show the swastika to the audience. In these versions, Franz does not interrupt the play, but waits until after the play to confront the producers and threatens to kill them, breaking his other leg in the process.

Answer 3

One can only assume you asked this question merely to incite people to negative thoughts and feelings, like your avatar's namesake (not that I believe in him). But I do believe in Hitler -- having seen the effects he had on my parents, myself, my countrymen and my country before I was lucky enough to emigrate to the US. My belief and understanding is that he was not cool in any sense of the word -- and the world would have been much better off had he been cold and dead long before he finally was.
