are you glad that HITLER is dead?

Answer 1

I certainly am - but I'd be even more glad if he had never been born (and so would millions of other people who had their lives cut short because of his madness.)

Answer 2

I don't usually take delight in the death of others.

Adolf Hitler was dead long before I was born.
Why are you asking such a question now?

Aren't you glad the National Socialist Worker's Party of German is no longer in power? Aren't you glad the Sicherheitdienst (SD) is no longer in a position of power in Europe to hunt down Jews, Communists, anti-Fascists and murder them?

Now, that is something to be happy about.

p.s. Thanks for the thumbs down. Sorry, but I don't subscribe to the "Hitler Was A Genius" School, and act as if there have not been far more intelligent people born in the last 62 years that have made far more positive contributions.

Answer 3

Being glad that he is dead isn’t the point, rather, it is that the philosophical concepts he represented failed. That it took the lives of millions to make ensure their failure is a tragedy. It is potentially more of a tragedy that the lessons learned from those years are apparently becoming forgotten. Here in Yahoo/Answers questions often are asked that demonstrate a lack of understanding what he represented.

History demonstrates that people with such ideas arise and some times gain control of governmental powers and as a result the lives of individuals are made increasingly difficult and often many people die. As an example, in these times there are fundamentalist extremists (of various religious groups) individuals and groups who believe in the reality of the apocalypse and further believe that it is their religious duty to ensure its occurring. When such individuals gain control of governments the danger to others increases dramatically. When those governments have control of significantly powerful militaries, the world is at danger.

Yes, that Hitler is dead and gone is a good thing, but it is even more important to ensure that the lessons learned from his time are taught to the youth of the world.

Answer 4

Whether Hitler is dead or not is not a factor, whether or not Nazism died with Hitler is more important ... it didnt.

Hitler was the face of the Nazi's like Bin Laden is the face of Islamic Extremisn and will the latter stop with the death of Bin Laden?

Answer 5

I have often heard the quote that Josef Stalin made Adolf Hitler "look like a teddy bear"....but as one postee has stated..History can often/will repeat..a discouraging thought indeed..but all so True.

Answer 6

No, he was one fo the greatest and smartest leaders of all time, people dont know anything about him other than NAZI, check into, his skills and technology, youll be surprised what youll find.

Even if he lived, hed be dead by now anyway, hed be like 118 years old now

Answer 7

Of course, because his death is a beginning for the end of the ideas of fascism such as national socialism, anti-semitism, and racial superiority/racial inferiority. Those ideas live on despite their horrendous notoriety among civilized societies.That battle of ideas is not over.

Answer 8

Isn't every sane person glad he's dead?

Answer 9

Not especially. Knowledge of his death doesn't create any emotional response in me.

Answer 10

yes
