I was in tears.

Interesting story Garg, interesting story.

And thanks Marc for the background info. It’s easy to forget/overlook things like that.

I had to go with the Kaiser.  I agree Imperial Germany had almost won that war several times.

It´s banned and illegal in Germany to show a swastika or display it anywhere exceptions are museums, so it cann´t be worshiped…but there still some fruitcakes out there trying…
as for america i don´t know…I saw ´em to much on peoples body and other emblems or insignias…German skinheads still get there stuff from the HQ of Texas…If u were caught with a hitler t-shirt in Germany you will be arrested…

@LHoffman:

Sometimes it can be hard watching the parody videos because, while I don’t speak it fluently by any means, I know a good bit of German and it is distracting to read subtitles for language that very obviously means something else. I have to make a concerted and constant effort to tune out my mind translating.

I have the same problem.  To me, the Hitler rant videos that work best, and that allow me to disregard most easily the actual meaning of the German dialogue, are the ones in which the writers of the fake subtitles pay close attention to Bruno Ganz’s performance of each line (his tone of voice, his gestures, his emphasis of particular words, his motivation) and come up with clever subtitles which genuinely give the impression that this is what he’s actually saying and which form a coherent, plausible narrative.  Ganz goes through quite a range of emotions in that clip, and a good parody dialogue will likewise shift in tone as the clip progresses to reflect this accurately.  I think the “Hitler rants about the new Axis and Allies game” video is particularly good in this regard, with my favourite part probably being the line about the errata page.

Mussolini made the trains run on time. The rest of that made no sence… sorry.

@NatFedMike:

lots of Americans are over weight fat asses who follow what Bush says blindly and think the War in Iraq is some Holy Crusade that can do no wrong.

Hey, I may be an ass, but I’m not overweight. :) As far as Bush, and the Presidency in general, as well as other elected representatives, even though I may or may not agree with them, I try to believe that they know what they’re doing…after all, they’re more educated and experienced than I, however questionably said education may have been obtained. The war, as far as I’m concerned, it’s just finishing up what wasn’t done 12 years ago.

oh, don’t they have their own tiny little country in rome?

i think i saw that on guiness world records show.
