If Hitler was groomed by the aristocrats..

If Hitler was groomed from a young age by the European aristocracy.. what does it mean that the history books as written are wrong about it all, and that their successors insist on continued misinformation (i.e. "secrecy")? -Zahadan (talk) 20:28, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, what? clpo13_(talk) 21:00, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a top topic, global and fort-wide. -Zahadan (talk) 00:33, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rise to power

How did adlof hitler rise to power ? 2A02:C7E:461C:DB00:F5BC:CB8F:846:CE3 (talk) 19:54, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I would like to edit this page to be able to change the "In office" to "In Leadership". He was the leader of a dictatorship. It's kind of like saying the Hitler was the leader of a Judicial Branch. (Something along the lines of that) On a 1660ti (talk) 14:43, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit extended-protected}} template. In office seems like a fine way to show when he was the leader of the government, even as a dictator. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:58, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The wording "in office" is generated by the infobox template {{Infobox officeholder}}, so it is not something that is easily changed.— Diannaa (talk) 15:23, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear why saying a dictator was “in office” is a problem anyway. DeCausa (talk) 15:51, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Math

How old is he 2600:1004:B06B:52BA:559B:6978:2B90:54A8 (talk) 21:01, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

He's dead. The article already says when he was born, when he died, and how old he was when he died. What else is there to say? Meters (talk) 21:10, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adolf Hitler coined the term Big lie (große Lüge)

I recently learned that Big Lie (große Lüge) was coined by Hitler. Based on [article], The German expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, to describe the use of a lie so colossal that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."

I recommend mentioning this fact around when Mein Kampf is mentioned.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 26 December 2021

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Adolf Hitler. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
