I think it had something to do with how the word national was pronounced in German Language - 'tio' was/is pronounced with a Nasal 's' with stress on the second letter of the word. Another example being that of the word Hindu, which in original should have been Sindhu but because the Persian language did not have a syllable 's' in their language and hence they pronounced it Hindu which later on became the standard pronounciation.

Well to be fair (in some ways) to Hitler related thoughts in India, the people here during ww2 were not anti Hitler. I mean they didnt Condone SS, Nazis and holocaust; but the axis was seen as a prospect supporter in the 'the enemy of my enemy (Britannia) is my friend' kind of way. Specially wrt Japan. Bose's love for Japan at that time is well known. Hitler too had hushed support and silent nods from certain intellectual and politically active class. We indians up north have had a mythological admiration for the Aryan race (not sure if it is the same 'Aryans' that gave Hitler a massive boner) and Hitler at Tue very least had begrudging acceptance from our part of the word.

 

 

And Hitler on his part never did anything to antagonise people of subcontinent, though it might have to do more with his indifference towards this region than anything, what with the WW2 going on and him having to face the 11 time zones of USSR led by the man who in his 20s looked like this-

Who was supported by UK and United states of "wtf Japan, pearl harbor, not cool" America.

 

 

 

Even now you would meet some 'edgy' indians who revere Hitler and swear by mein kampf. Had couple girls and a dude in my school in and around my year who discovered the book in the library and subsequently a new set of ideology to live by. Dont know if it were the rebellious teenage phase or if they still dole out straight armed perpendicular salutes but the fact that they somehow overlooked their own brown skin while advocating the Fuhrer's line of political thought, the same thought that would gas the bejeejus out of their non-white a*s if it were employed in their area, is an irony that breaks the spacetime continuum itself.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

Hitler had a crazy plan to invade India or at-least Persia (for oil) by sending the ill-fated Army Group South (which was broken in the Siege of Stalingrad) to the South through the Caucus oilfields.

 

And a supporting counter-stroke was supposed to be delivered by Erwin Rommel's Afrikakorps (DAK), annexing Egypt and usurping control over the Suez Canal from them thereby choking supplies, men and material to-fro India and Australia.

 

Obviously neither worked because of the paucity of resources on both fronts. Fast fact, Erwin Rommel landed in North Africa with only ~50 tanks out of which only ~20 or so had long-barrelled guns that could successfully engage and eliminate English Valentines and Matildas. Still he absolutely ruled the roost in Africa for two years before the Allies managed to get a 4:1 (in some cases even more) tactical superiority in every sphere, material and manpower.

Don't bother too much with logic. You would be surprised to know that Russia has the highest prevalence of fascist movements modelled after Nazism, that after loosing the ~15 -->17 million lives to stop the advance of the same in the 1940's.

Implying that Rommel did well in afrika for 2 years with just 50 tanks, and adding fast fact to give credential to your post, it is not difficult to see who is the stupid one ;)

 

Every colonist has grand plans, they make up plans even which are not achievable, these are done just for building morale in the army. Fast Fact Hitler's Indian plans would be as good as his plans for rebuilding Berlin (The plans which he dedicated extensive details, in the final hours of Germany)

I think you need to suffer a holocaust.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pathetic attempt to make a point...

 

Stalin had more blood in his hand then Hitler....for your kind information...you might as well bring him too.. The left offices have huge poster and picture of him and regard him as a hero.

 

 

 

 

And if you are so prickly about China, join ITBP, they need motivated chaps like you.

 

Worse than that.

 

Next thing he won't care what happened in Operation Blue Star, how the Khalistan Movement is regaining steam abroad, how Naxals infested belts should be turned into police states or maybe worse napalmed out of existence.

 

Next thing folks, Hindutva is Indian nationalism (NOT).

 

 

Hitler....Khalistan ....and what else is left to bring into a topic that has got to do with arunachal pradesh being claimed by china....violating my countries border every second day ....destroying infrastrtucture for our defence....and then to add to the salt state giovernment book goes on to publish the very land we are holding on to as their part...

Now, we shall compare who has more blood on their hands.

 

Hitler made a very simple statement, "If you win, you need not explain. If you lose, you should not be there to explain."

 

Which is akin to saying, the victor writes the history books. None of our history books (CBSE) claimed anything heroic about Stalin's purges and forced collectivisation induced starvation. I have never seen a left office.

 

On topic of Leftist having his portrait hung up, lot of them wanted us to have a single party system like China, would you like that?

You are barking up the wrong tree, go join the armed forces, ITBP or something because ranting like this on iVG will not change SQUAT.

No, that was just the first wave of tanks which came in with the newly formed 21st Panzer Division, PzKPfw Pz III's with long barrelled KwK 38 50mm guns, eventually the AfrikaKorp (DAK) did get up-to ~300 tanks on its roster but by then the US was in the war and not a lot could be achieved. The North Africa theatre of war was also the Western Allies first experience with newer German technological marvels like the PzKPfw Pz. VI better known as TIGER and various variants of Messerschmitt 109 Type F and G.

 

Rommel was one of the best commanders of the war, highly decorated, young and with a clean record. His command was the only one which did not follow various draconian Nazi edicts like The Commando Order, The Final Solution and treated his PoW's with dignity and respect (including a lot of Indian PoW's).

 

Snubbing his achievements like this is disrespectful, sure he was on the loosing side but that does not change the fact that he was a MAN of honour, dignity and skill.

 

The fast fact bit was added on the spur of the moment to bring attention to the point and the fact of how good a commander he was. If you think this is pretentious, I cannot help you.

Every colonist has grand plans, they make up plans even which are not achievable, these are done just for building morale in the army. Fast Fact Hitler's Indian plans would be as good as his plans for rebuilding Berlin (The plans which he dedicated extensive details, in the final hours of Germany)

 

Problem was HITLER did do a lot of good, in the six peaceful years he had, to paraphrase PlayStation's mentality, he

  • brought a nation back to its feet and armed it for war
  • raised the national morale to a point where the Germans could once again stand proud, in-fact prior to the commencement of war they had been appeased numerous times by Great Britain and France. Had successfully got into a treaty with CCCP which was highly beneficial to them till its existence
  • started several German franchises which are super-popular today, case in point

1a6962_1427490.jpg

 

But does all this mean we salt the books of The Holocaust, forget the War that raged for six bloody years. NO.

 

Everyone builds castles, just that some are achieved while the others are lost. And as I said earlier,

"If you win, you need not explain. If you lose, you should not be present to explain."

 

If the war would have been won by The Axis, we would all be singing a different tune, that much I can guarantee.

 

P.S. -- If you think Hitler was unchallenged within the armed forces and was super popular and all his plans were met with raucous applause and child like glee by every member of the Wehrmacht, you live in ignorance. Various highly placed officers of the Heer, the Luftwaffe and the majority of U-boat crews and Kriegsmarine officers were disillusioned with his conduct of war. But that is a discussion which is pretentious so I would not go there.

Actually there is a place in madamjis constituency, where for 20 rs you can get chola and bhatura. Near the famous hanuman temple, ive had it myself.However, it does not mean that it is available everywhere.

The gurdwaras do the wonderful job of feeding any 1 who comes in their langar for free ( I always praise Sikhism everywhere just for this. They do the basic service for free), does that mean poor all over india can be feed for free.
