    Default Adolf Hitler. Military poser

    Hitler's war boast is a lie, letters show

    It was one of the most notorious stories Adolf Hitler told: his First World War experience ended when he was blinded by a British mustard gas attack.
    It was one of the most notorious stories Adolf Hitler told: his First World War experience ended when he was blinded by a British mustard gas attack. The letters show that the German leader's blindness was in fact caused by a mental illness, not the mustard gas attack he alleged.


    In an exchange between two American neurologists, it is revealed that Otfried Forster, a renowned German neurosurgeon, had inspected Hitler's medical file.
    He said the file clearly showed that Hitler had been treated for hysterical blindness, or hysterical amblyopia, a psychiatric disorder that can make sufferers lose their sight.

    Moved here by me. This has no place in the wall of shame discussions.

    And lying about an injury does not make one a poser. It means they lied.

    To this day, Hitler is the greatest mad man the world has ever seen. Im sure he lied about all sorts of shit. He was able to brainwash the German population to some degree.

    I don't see how some obscure references make him a military poser. He did in fact serve in WWI.

    He was personally responsible for deaths of tens of millions of people throughout the world, and you want to put him on a "wall of shame" because he may have lied about an injury??!?!?

    I saw no proof or accusations in that article that stated that Hitler was never involved in a mustard gas attack. He very well could have been fucked up by mustard gas, and it may very well have not affected his blindness. But that doesn't mean that that he or anyone else knew the cause of his blindness at that time.

    It's all speculation based on opinion about something that happened 100 years ago.

    If you feel that way then go ahead and start claiming you won the MoH then come back and tell me if people think you're a poser regardless of what else you have done since. His wearing of the Wound Badge was an insult to German soldiers and sailors who did earn it.

    Military posing does not excuse nor eclipse his other crimes. That's like saying because he was a mass murderer we can't talk about the color of his eyes.

    Hey defend the guy if you want, this is your sandbox not mine. I just thought you guys would appreciate the story and it gave me a reason to post here. My bad. I won't be making that mistake again anytime soon.

    That's cool, thin skinned pussies don't tend to last last around here anyhow. Just a touch longer than Posers do. We don't have time for either.

    Where the hell have you been? Glad to see you back, but there have been midgets running in circles with tiki torches... RH has been "assaulting" various types of trees... and no one has told him to eat shit lately.

    I can see why August would put this thread in Poser Alley. LOOON, you just had a different opinion as to where it fit in.

    Nothing to get your (neither one of you) panties in a wad.

    Holy hell man, Jeff was taking up for you.... I'm going to assume I read that wrong cause you surely didn't mean to come off like a dick to someone that wasn't being one to you.

    Just chill the fuck out. Geez...

    First of all, the place you posted the thread was wrong, and it's no big deal. That room is for posers we bust on this site. Meaning, members of this site that are posing. Hitler did not try to pose on this site.

    Don't take my moving the thread personal, It's my job to make sure stuff goes where it belongs.

    Having said that, you put a topic out for discussion and I commented on it with my opinion. End of story. If you don't like my opinion, that's cool. But don't accuse me of defending Hitler EVER. That's just fucked up.

    Now we can discuss this subject like adults, or I can close it.

    This.

    Also, the thread doesn't need to be locked, however we can get back on topic though. Now if this side discussion isn't over, then it needs to be moved to the Silk.

    Hitler was totally a Groucho Marx poser. August was on the right trail just the wrong path.
