I recently made an edit to Hitler's ancestry adding information from DNA research on his family in 2010, which has been removed and I'm not sure why. I specified "39 supposed relatives" because the study keeps most of them anonymous and can't be checked by the public, but one of them is Hitler's half-brother's son, which is sufficient enough to provide their shared Y-DNA haplogroup, E1b1b. Since Hitler's father was born to an unknown man and Hitler's half brother was born illegitimate at the time (because their father could not remarry until the death of his wife), questions are naturally raised so a second paternal relative was compared to be sure, called Norbert H., whose identity is kept private (but might be a paternal descendant from one of Hitler's father's affairs). This triangulation of results backs up the likeliness that Hitler's haplogroup was E1b1b. Haplogroups do not determine one's ethnic makeup, but E1b1b is uncommon among Germans and today happens to be most prevalent among Moroccan Berbers and about a 5th of Ashkenazi and a 3rd of Sephardic Jews (the exact estimates were in my edit). This foreign ancestor could have entered Hitler's paternal line anywhere within the last few hundred years and does not necessarily prove the ethnicity of his grandfather, but is simply a factual curiosity for his ancestry.

Adolf Hitler was an Austrian statesman who ruled the Third Reich (Nazi Germany) from 1933 to 1945. Hitler was a loner as an adolescent, but grew up to be one of the most influencial people in human history. His anti-semitic philosophy got him a lot of support in a war-torn Germany (after WWI). Today, Hitler is seen as one of the worst humans in history because of his horrific speeches and policies. Germanman0909 ( talk) 16:37, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Adolf Hitler was an Austrian politician who served as the Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1934 and the Fuhrer of Germany from 1934 to 1945.
Our job is to report the consensus of modern scholarship. Shirer finished his book in 1959 before the new work by Tobias appeared--he never revised it and while popular his book is no longer current with modern scholarship of the last 60 years. Bullock originally held to the old ideas but now leans in favor of the Tobias interpretation. Bullock have one sentence that it's an "open question" --with no explanation and he is the only scholar who says that so he is either pro-consensus or perhaps "fringe" on this issue.
Historian Benjamin Carter Hett stated in 2014:
Richard J. Evans in 2014 summarized the consensus of academic historians that, "the bulk of the historical profession [agrees] that Tobias was right, and that the sole author of the Reichstag fire was Marinus van der Lubbe". [2] Rjensen ( talk) 06:24, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is WP:RS but according to the source the Hitler was originally banned from giving speeches in Bavaria after the putsch, until his parole ended in 1927 however Nazi Party activities could be conducted elsewhere. The Prussian authorities then banned the Nazis from any public speaking in 1925 after the SA beat a pastor who heckled Goebbels, both of these restrictions were lifted in 1927 which i think should be stated more clearly in the 'Rebuilding the Nazi Party' subsection if the source is to be believed. - || RuleTheWiki || (talk) 15:02, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
I would like to ask under what absurd initiative "universally regarded as evil" was replaced with the watered-down "universally regarded as gravely immoral," which casts a strikingly different and far less stark tone. 108.29.97.109 ( talk) 05:37, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
I've removed the edit as well as the two citations, because they don't actually support the edit very well at all. The Joel Feinberg book states that if measuring by a person's intent to do harm, then Hitler is the most evil person in history. That is not the same thing as saying he is universally regarded as evil, and appears to be Feinberg's own assessment, not a comment on the consensus of historical views. The other source, Hanke et al, states that the survey determined that Hitler was the most negatively viewed historical figure, and does not use the word "evil" at all. @ DeCausa:, if you could please provide a full citation for your Kershaw quote? The quote would be a good replacement for the one we currently have in the lead. It looks like it might be from the preface of Nemesis but we need a page number. Thanks,— Diannaa ( talk) 12:27, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
New suggestions: replace "gravely immoral" with "gravely immoral or evil". Or remove it altogether, as we are unlikely to ever find a citation that directly supports either contention, and we don't want to be drawing conclusions that are not actually present in the sources ( WP:OR).

The infobox says Hitler’s rank was Gefreiter, yet displays his years of service with the Third Reich as 1939-1945. I would assume since it is treating him as an active servicemember past 1920, he must have either assumed an active rank automatically as Führer, or as Supreme Commander. He became Führer and Chancellor in 1933, and Supreme Commander in 1941. Is there a specific reason that it shows 1939? If he was active service during the Third Reich, what military rank would he have then? Wouldn’t it be better to show his rank as the one he had during the Third Reich years?

I don't have strong opinions one way or the other, but did notice that, in the quoted source, Thomas Weber calls it an "unlikely story" ("[Hitler] told Chamberlain an unlikely story of how Private Tandey had encountered him personally during the war and how Tandey could have shot him dead but had refused to do so.", my emphasis).

"In response to Hindenburg's threat of declaring martial law, Hitler purged the entire SA leadership in the Night of the Long Knives, which took place from 30 June to 2 July 1934." (the bold part is the new change)
Source: The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer, page 281
…Blomberg instead was now the stern Prussian general and he brusquely informed Hitler that he was authorized by the Field Marshal to tell him that unless the present state of tension in Germany was brought quickly to an end the President would declare martial law and turn over the control of the State to the Army. When Hitler was permitted to see Hindenburg for a few minutes in the presence of Blomberg, the old President confirmed the ultimatum…
Rationale: it was clear that Hitler was hesitant to move against Rohm due to his prominence in the SA and perhaps partially to his long term friendship (and his long term support to Hitler) with Hitler. The ultimatum was the final catalyst that pushed Hitler toward action. Hitler didn't act in response to "anxiety among military, industrial, and political leaders." If anything, the old wording was misleading and gave the wrong impression of the situation. Hitler had a strong support from every level of society in Germany, and he knew it. Hindenburg was his last obstacle and the only one who could declare martial law and also dismiss Hitler (if he wanted). This article is not even close to be complete, and there are a lot of room for improvement! Nguyentrongphu ( talk) 10:52, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
References
Nguyentrongphu: You are again synthesizing text and also giving the reader the impression that was the only reason for the purge of the SA leadership. There were multiple reasons for the purge. See Kershaw (2008), pp. 301-316. For example, he states on page 302 that the military “leadership was intensely and increasingly alarmed by the military pretenses of the SA. Failure on Hitler‘s part to solve the problem of the SA would conceivably lead to army leaders favoring an alternative head of state on Hindenburg‘s death.” He also writes about how Hitler‘s unruly party army had outlived its purpose, which was to win power. He talks about how the SA was “threatening to become completely uncontrollable. Steps had to be taken” and “Hindenburg himself requested Hitler to restore order.” He then goes on to talk about Rohm’s ambitions and how he wanted to continue the “German revolution”, etc. As a note, you stated you wanted to hear from the “top 10 editors” of this article, I am certainly one of them and I also helped bring this article up to GA status, as did Diannaa. Kierzek ( talk) 12:40, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
First source in supporting my claim:
…This was a disastrous turn of affairs for the Nazi Chancellor. Not only was his plan to succeed the President in jeopardy; if the Army took over, that would be the end of him and of Nazi government. Flying back to Berlin the same day he must have reflected that he had only one choice to make if he were to survive. He must honor his pact with the Army, suppress the S.A. and halt the continuance of the revolution for which the storm troop leaders were pressing. The Army, backed by the venerable President, it was obvious, would accept no less…
— The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer, page 281–82
Second source in supporting my claim: Richard Evans (2005). The Third Reich in Power, page 31
Both sources basically claim that Hitler was forced to initiate the purge as soon as possible right after hearing Hindenburg's ultimatum. If not, he would be faced with serious consequences. Prior to that, Hitler had been hesitant to move against Rohm for months due to their long term friendship and Rohm's prominence in the SA (this was also stated in the source). My rationale: there was no reason to believe Hitler would purge his long term friend and suppoter Rohm if Hindenburg didn't make the threat. At most, Hitler would make a compromise with Rohm. Hindenburg died a month later. Had Hitler hesitated for another month, he would most likely have been overthrown by the army. Nguyentrongphu ( talk) 19:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Regarding this addition to the lead. Firstly, no one regularly editing this article is going to dispute that Hitler was a virulent anti-semite. But to me putting it into the opening sentence is almost as redundant as saying that the Pope believes in God. Of course he does, but the specifics of saying how and when and why any particular Pope has influnced RC church's beliefs is infinitely more informative that recording the raw fact that he is a theist. Similarly the fact that AH's antipathy to Jews led his regime to attempt to remove an entire people from the face of the earth - and to succeed in eliminating around 6 million of them, as well as many other people - is a good deal more specific, and therefore more informative than the raw fact that AH was an anti-semite. AH is notable for putting his anti-semitism into lethal effect, not for not liking Jews, which was commonplace.
I also think that the list of AH's antipathies is so long (anti-Slav, anti-black, anti-communist, anti-liberal, anti-Christian, anti-Romany, anti-practically-everyone-except-German-Nazis), that we set a dangerous precedent by putting this 'label' in the opening sentence - rather than simply recording the impact that he had, which is pretty damning in itself.

"In 2019, Leonard Sax published a scholarly paper titled "Aus den Gemeinden von Burgenland: revisiting the question of Adolf Hitler's paternal grandfather".[1]"
"In July 1938, four months after the annexation of Austria to the German Reich, Hitler ordered a survey of Döllersheim, Maria Anna’s home town in Upper Austria, ostensibly to determine whether the terrain was suitable for army maneuvers. In 1939, the citizens were forcibly evacuated, “and the village, along with its heavily wooded countryside, was blasted beyond recognition by mortar shells and thoroughly ploughed over by army tanks” (Fischer, 1996: 74, 584n1; see also Hamann, 1996: 73). This episode has never been satisfactorily explained. No justification has ever been offered for Hitler’s decision to raze to the ground the entire village in which his grandmother had lived. Perhaps Hitler believed that the town might contain some clue to his ancestry which he was anxious to obliterate."
/info/en/?search=D%C3%B6llersheim
"The local authorities had bestowed honorary citizenship upon Hitler and re-constructed a grave of honour (Ehrengrab) for his grandmother, though to no avail. In the period up to 31 October 1941, Wehrmacht troops forcibly resettled all 2000 villagers before bombing their houses as part of the training exercises.[1]"

SteveBenassi, you keep repeating that Sax is a "Reliable Source". He is not. He is not a subject expert, he is not a trained historian, he is not even a scholar with any kind of background in this area. He is psychologist who specializes in gender issues, and is qualified to write on that subject, and nothing else
In a controversial subject area such as this, the quality of sources we accept must be exemplary, which is why we rely on well-qualified scholars and subject experts such as Kershaw, Evans, Bullock, Fest, Overy, Burleigh and others. Sax is not included in that grouping: he's a dilettante, an amateur, working in a subject area he's not at all qualified for.
If and when Sax's attempt to resurrect Frank's opinions is accepted by actual historians, subject experts and qualified scholar, then and only then can we consider giving it more coverage than it already has in this article. That has not happened, and is unlikely to happen. It is also clear that there is no consensus among Wikipedia's editors to accept your contention. Lacking acceptance by experts and consensus by editors, this issue should be considered -- once again -- closed.

I don’t think showing the titles these leaders held at the time glorifies them in any way, it simply shows what the government at the time officially recognized, and should be kept for historical accuracy. Kim il Sung and Kim Jong-il’s articles have the “eternal leader” title, almost making them look like gods despite being mass murderers themself.

@ BaxçeyêReş and Beyond My Ken: em dashes or en dashes are both fine, but this article should stay consistent in its usage.

hi according to History channel and FBI and CIA investigating and documentary film about hitler and new evidence , hitler was seen in italy and other places so he didn't die in that bunker.
Is it really worth including “Austrian-born” when the article states he was born in Austria in the lede anyway? Without trying to cause any offence to Austrians and Germans today respectively, the general national identity of Austrians during the late 19th century and early 20th century was not the same as it has been for the last few decades. Whilst it’s irrelevant to include in the article what Adolf Hitler and the Nazis thought of who were Germans and who were not Germans, I can’t help but feel this article is putting too much emphasis on Hitler’s Austrian origin.-- 82.47.115.109 ( talk) 10:22, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

The recent spate of editing over the infobox has left some anomalies and oddities and I suspect the present result is more the result of "where the ball stopped rolling", rather than any agreement about the issues. I'm relatively neutral about some of those matters, so long as the final effect is clear and consistent with the article text (as well being WP:V by WP:RS of course), but think the matters worth discussing.
First of all Hitler's main title. It has been wrongly argued that WP:COMMONNAME applies. It doesn't since that is a guideline for article titles and anyway the actual practice for political offices is to use a semi-formal title ('Prime Minister of the United Kingdom', not 'British Prime Minister', 'President of the United States', not 'American President' or 'President of America'). However, even if we choose to go for the common nam-ish title, would that not be "Führer" rather than "Führer of Germany", which I think is neither fish nor fowl, neither the formality of the actual title 'Führer und Reichskanzler' in English or German, or both, nor the commonly used 'Führer'. No one I suspect has ever referred to the "Führer of Germany", partly because there has never been any 'Führers' of anywhere else. My own reaction is that this 'job title' is akin to 'President of America' and would be more educative if it were more formal or more accessible if more informal.
Secondly, did Hitler cease to be Chancellor in 1934 (when the powers of Chancellor were incorporated into those of Führer) or was he still Chancellor at his death? The sources seem to me to favour the first reading but I claim no special expertise. I know titles were merged (Hitler became Führer und Reichskanzler – although eventually Reichskanzler was quietly dropped), but can you meaningfully hold an office and function which has ceased to exist as an independent entity? Of course the key is what do sources say. I'm happy to go with consensus on this, but the infobox needs to reflect what is decided. If Hitler ceased to be Chancellor in 1934 because that function became part of the Führer function, then the office of Chancellor was vacant from 1934 until his death 11 years later and some way of noting that or simply ommitting his successor needs to happen (Goebbels only technically inherited the office for one day anyway). The old infobox wrongly implied that Goebbels took over in 1934 and needed fixing.
Lastly is " Nazi Germany" needed anywhere in the infobox (it was previously underneath both the Führer and the Chancellor job titles). This was discussed relatively recently and I can't remember what was decided. Personally I can see the benefit of using it as a shorthand form of "Germany-during-the-Nazi-period" when the linking of it can give context. I'm neutral here but would rather see only ONE use under Führer.
The principal changes are hers in between edits proposed various compromises.
Overall, are people happy with the recent changes? Pincrete ( talk) 16:09, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

It doesn't really matter what our opinions of the constitutional reasonableness of this arrangement are. This line of reasoning is getting into WP:OR. He was a dictator, and these were the titles he chose to use. He assumed them separately, and he left them separately, so it's easiest for us to treat them separately in the infobox. That's really all it's about—I don't think we'd be implying anything about the power structure by listing them separately or together. The point you raised previously about the chancellor part of the title possibly being dropped is more significant, I think. I haven't seen any evidence of this happening at a specific time, and like I left it at before, I welcome any you're willing to provide.

I took a closer look at this section and noticed that the text mentions that the position of the Centre Party had been decisive (441 votes for and 84 against) in the passing of this Act. The Centre Party had won 73 seats in the March 1933 elections. Doing simple mathematical equations I noticed that even if the Centre Party voted against the act it still would have passed with 70% of the representatives voting in its favor (368 for and 157 against). Since amendments to the constitution require two thirds of the representatives VOTING AND PRESENT (so basically if the Centre Party voted against the bill: 368/(368+73+84)=70% voting for the passing of the act) is should have passed (as stated here) without the support of the Centre Party. In short, I don't see a logical explanation to why the votes of the Centre Party were decisive.
Another thing I noticed, looking at the table, it clearly states that 444 voted for the act and 94 against it. In this article it says 441 voted for and 84 against which is a bit confusing to me. LukeA1 ( talk) 18:23, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Erhard Auer was the Editor in Chief of the Münchener Post, it was shut down by Hitler in March 1933 immediately after he became the Reich Chancellor. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party called the newspaper and its editors "Giftküche" (The Poison Kitchen) and "Münchener Pest ("Munich Pestilence" or "Munich Plague"). Hitler considered the paper one of his most vexing public adversaries, and the paper was the target of libel actions by the Nazi Party. The paper was one of the few early warning voices regarding the dangers posed by the rise of the Nazi Party, although their warnings went largely unheeded at the time. Auer was imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp and died 20 March 1945. The first book written on Erhard Auer and the Münchener Post was in 2013, in Brazil. .... 0mtwb9gd5wx ( talk) 18:03, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

What sources name Hitler as a white nationalist? To my understanding, white nationalism, at least outside of the United States, is a post WW2 ideology directly inspired from Neo-Nazism and antisemitism, not the other way around. And besides, Hitler's rhetoric was German supremacist, not broadly white nationalist (he promoted the genocide of Slavs).
If there are no objections or cited sources, I'll be removing the White Nationalist category. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 13:02, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
The primary target of Hitler's aggressive policy was a white population of Europe.WWII in Europe was, by an large, a white vs white conflict, and the most persecuted categories of population were Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, and some others. Interestingly, a major Hitler's ally was Japan (Asians), which was fighting against British (by that time, White) and Americans (mostly White). Moreover, Hitler's Nazism was build upon a (now obsolete) racial theory developed mostly in Britain, which linked the term "race" (i.e. a phenotype) with the term "ethnicity" (which is a purely social construct), and, what was especially wrong, declared intrinsic superiority of some of them based on some phenotype criteria.

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.

It should state in the opening line that "... was an Austrian-born German politician who was elected Chancellor of Germany in January 1933 and became the dictator of Germany in March of 1933 until his death in 1945.
This gives a much more informative view that he was elected into power and assumed dictatorial powers within a very short period of time. This distinguishes him from other dictators who assumed control via a military coup for example. 2601:600:8380:2CE0:4D97:A69E:4F5C:E0BE ( talk) 07:12, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Biographer Ian Kershaw in his Hitler biography wrote:
Hitler’s first political duties took place, therefore, in the service of the revolutionary regime run by the SPD and USPD. In fact, he would have had to explain away the even more embarrassing fact of his continued involvement at the very height of Munich’s ‘red dictatorship’. On 14 April, the day after the Communist Räterepublik had been proclaimed, the Munich Soldiers’ Councils approved fresh elections of all barrack representatives to ensure that the Munich garrison stood loyally behind the new regime. In the elections the following day Hitler was chosen as Deputy Battalion Representative. Not only, then, did Hitler do nothing to assist in the crushing of Munich’s ‘Red Republic’; he was an elected representative of his battalion during the whole period of its existence.
How to interpret this evidence is, nevertheless, not altogether clear the obvious implication must be that Hitler, in order to have been elected as a soldiers’ representative, voiced in these months the views of the socialist governments he later denounced with every fibre of his body as ‘criminal’…Already in the 1920s, and continuing into the 1930s, there were rumours, never fully countered, that Hitler had initially sympathized with the Majority SPD following the revolution… a pointed remark when defending Esser in 1921 against attacks from within the party, Hitler commented: ‘Everyone was at one time a Social Democrat.’
In itself, Hitler’s possible support for the Majority Social Democrats in the revolutionary upheaval is less unlikely than it might at first might appear…A number of strange bedfellows, including several who later came to belong to Hitler’s entourage, initially found themselves on the Left during the revolution. Sepp Dietrich, later a general in the Waffen-SS and head of Hitler’s SS-Leibstandarte, was elected chairman of a Soldiers’ Council in November 1918. Hitler’s long-time chauffeur Julius Schreck had served in the ‘Red Army’ at the end of April 1919. Hermann Esser, one of Hitler’s earliest supporters, who became the first propaganda chief of the N S D A P, had been for a while a journalist on a Social Democratic newspaper. Gottfried Feder, whose views on ‘interest slavery’ so gripped Hitler’s imagination in summer 1919, had sent a statement of his position to the socialist government headed by Kurt Eisner the previous November. And Balthasar Brandmayer, one of Hitler’s closest wartime comrades and a later fervent supporter, recounted how he at first welcomed the end of the monarchies, the establishment of a republic, and the onset of a new era.
A number of pointers towards Hitler’s opportunism exist from this period. In Pasewalk, he did not denounce to his superiors (as patriotic duty would have demanded) the sailors who arrived in the hospital preaching sedition and revolution. On leaving the hospital, he avoided committing himself politically, and made no attempt to join any of the numerous Freikorps units which sprang up to engage in the continued fighting on the eastern borders of the Reich and the suppression of left-wing radicalism within Germany, not least in Munich itself. After his return to Munich from Traunstein in February 1919, he most likely took part, since his regiment had issued orders to participate, in a demonstration march of about 10,000 left-wing workers and soldiers in Munich. Probably in April 1919, with Munich ruled by the Communist Councils, he wore, along with almost all the soldiers of the Munich garrison, the revolutionary red armband.
Significant, above all, is that within a week of the end of the rule of the Councils, Hitler had been nominated – by whom is not known – to serve on a three-man committee to explore whether members of the Reserve Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment had been actively involved in the Räterepublik.

"While news of Hitler's death spread quickly, he was not issued a death certificate until 1956, owing to the difficulties of legally ascertaining his death largely upon eyewitness testimony, resulting in it being filed as an assumption of death"After the first clause, it requires the passive tense, i.e. "While news of Hitler's death spread quickly, no death certificate was issued until 1956." The rest of the material from Joachimsthaler's Preface can probably be summarised in one or two sentences. For example: "The delay arose because of the difficulty in legally establishing his death through eyewitness testimony, and as a result it was officially recorded as 'an assumption of death'."

I recently made an edit to Hitler's ancestry adding information from DNA research on his family in 2010, which has been removed and I'm not sure why. I specified "39 supposed relatives" because the study keeps most of them anonymous and can't be checked by the public, but one of them is Hitler's half-brother's son, which is sufficient enough to provide their shared Y-DNA haplogroup, E1b1b. Since Hitler's father was born to an unknown man and Hitler's half brother was born illegitimate at the time (because their father could not remarry until the death of his wife), questions are naturally raised so a second paternal relative was compared to be sure, called Norbert H., whose identity is kept private (but might be a paternal descendant from one of Hitler's father's affairs). This triangulation of results backs up the likeliness that Hitler's haplogroup was E1b1b. Haplogroups do not determine one's ethnic makeup, but E1b1b is uncommon among Germans and today happens to be most prevalent among Moroccan Berbers and about a 5th of Ashkenazi and a 3rd of Sephardic Jews (the exact estimates were in my edit). This foreign ancestor could have entered Hitler's paternal line anywhere within the last few hundred years and does not necessarily prove the ethnicity of his grandfather, but is simply a factual curiosity for his ancestry.

Adolf Hitler was an Austrian politician who served as the Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1934 and the Fuhrer of Germany from 1934 to 1945.
Our job is to report the consensus of modern scholarship. Shirer finished his book in 1959 before the new work by Tobias appeared--he never revised it and while popular his book is no longer current with modern scholarship of the last 60 years. Bullock originally held to the old ideas but now leans in favor of the Tobias interpretation. Bullock have one sentence that it's an "open question" --with no explanation and he is the only scholar who says that so he is either pro-consensus or perhaps "fringe" on this issue.
Historian Benjamin Carter Hett stated in 2014:
Richard J. Evans in 2014 summarized the consensus of academic historians that, "the bulk of the historical profession [agrees] that Tobias was right, and that the sole author of the Reichstag fire was Marinus van der Lubbe". [2] Rjensen ( talk) 06:24, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is WP:RS but according to the source the Hitler was originally banned from giving speeches in Bavaria after the putsch, until his parole ended in 1927 however Nazi Party activities could be conducted elsewhere. The Prussian authorities then banned the Nazis from any public speaking in 1925 after the SA beat a pastor who heckled Goebbels, both of these restrictions were lifted in 1927 which i think should be stated more clearly in the 'Rebuilding the Nazi Party' subsection if the source is to be believed. - || RuleTheWiki || (talk) 15:02, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

I've removed the edit as well as the two citations, because they don't actually support the edit very well at all. The Joel Feinberg book states that if measuring by a person's intent to do harm, then Hitler is the most evil person in history. That is not the same thing as saying he is universally regarded as evil, and appears to be Feinberg's own assessment, not a comment on the consensus of historical views. The other source, Hanke et al, states that the survey determined that Hitler was the most negatively viewed historical figure, and does not use the word "evil" at all. @ DeCausa:, if you could please provide a full citation for your Kershaw quote? The quote would be a good replacement for the one we currently have in the lead. It looks like it might be from the preface of Nemesis but we need a page number.

New suggestions: replace "gravely immoral" with "gravely immoral or evil". Or remove it altogether, as we are unlikely to ever find a citation that directly supports either contention, and we don't want to be drawing conclusions that are not actually present in the sources ( WP:OR).

The infobox says Hitler’s rank was Gefreiter, yet displays his years of service with the Third Reich as 1939-1945. I would assume since it is treating him as an active servicemember past 1920, he must have either assumed an active rank automatically as Führer, or as Supreme Commander. He became Führer and Chancellor in 1933, and Supreme Commander in 1941. Is there a specific reason that it shows 1939? If he was active service during the Third Reich, what military rank would he have then? Wouldn’t it be better to show his rank as the one he had during the Third Reich years?

In a BBC documentary, a film clip, visually similar (Hitler is on the opposite side of frame) to Kid Auto Races at Venice, is presented as Hitler's first newsreel appearance. The event was moments before a passing parade.

I don't have strong opinions one way or the other, but did notice that, in the quoted source, Thomas Weber calls it an "unlikely story" ("[Hitler] told Chamberlain an unlikely story of how Private Tandey had encountered him personally during the war and how Tandey could have shot him dead but had refused to do so.", my emphasis). The way that footnote is written right now, readers don't learn about Weber's assessement of the story's likelihood. --- Sluzzelin talk 12:37, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
"In response to Hindenburg's threat of declaring martial law, Hitler purged the entire SA leadership in the Night of the Long Knives, which took place from 30 June to 2 July 1934." (the bold part is the new change)
Source: The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer, page 281
…Blomberg instead was now the stern Prussian general and he brusquely informed Hitler that he was authorized by the Field Marshal to tell him that unless the present state of tension in Germany was brought quickly to an end the President would declare martial law and turn over the control of the State to the Army. When Hitler was permitted to see Hindenburg for a few minutes in the presence of Blomberg, the old President confirmed the ultimatum…
Rationale: it was clear that Hitler was hesitant to move against Rohm due to his prominence in the SA and perhaps partially to his long term friendship (and his long term support to Hitler) with Hitler. The ultimatum was the final catalyst that pushed Hitler toward action. Hitler didn't act in response to "anxiety among military, industrial, and political leaders." If anything, the old wording was misleading and gave the wrong impression of the situation. Hitler had a strong support from every level of society in Germany, and he knew it. Hindenburg was his last obstacle and the only one who could declare martial law and also dismiss Hitler (if he wanted).

Nguyentrongphu: You are again synthesizing text and also giving the reader the impression that was the only reason for the purge of the SA leadership. There were multiple reasons for the purge. See Kershaw (2008), pp. 301-316. For example, he states on page 302 that the military “leadership was intensely and increasingly alarmed by the military pretenses of the SA. Failure on Hitler‘s part to solve the problem of the SA would conceivably lead to army leaders favoring an alternative head of state on Hindenburg‘s death.” He also writes about how Hitler‘s unruly party army had outlived its purpose, which was to win power. He talks about how the SA was “threatening to become completely uncontrollable. Steps had to be taken” and “Hindenburg himself requested Hitler to restore order.” He then goes on to talk about Rohm’s ambitions and how he wanted to continue the “German revolution”, etc. As a note, you stated you wanted to hear from the “top 10 editors” of this article, I am certainly one of them and I also helped bring this article up to GA status, as did Diannaa.

First source in supporting my claim:
…This was a disastrous turn of affairs for the Nazi Chancellor. Not only was his plan to succeed the President in jeopardy; if the Army took over, that would be the end of him and of Nazi government. Flying back to Berlin the same day he must have reflected that he had only one choice to make if he were to survive. He must honor his pact with the Army, suppress the S.A. and halt the continuance of the revolution for which the storm troop leaders were pressing. The Army, backed by the venerable President, it was obvious, would accept no less…
— The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer, page 281–82
Second source in supporting my claim: Richard Evans (2005). The Third Reich in Power, page 31
Both sources basically claim that Hitler was forced to initiate the purge as soon as possible right after hearing Hindenburg's ultimatum. If not, he would be faced with serious consequences. Prior to that, Hitler had been hesitant to move against Rohm for months due to their long term friendship and Rohm's prominence in the SA (this was also stated in the source). My rationale: there was no reason to believe Hitler would purge his long term friend and suppoter Rohm if Hindenburg didn't make the threat. At most, Hitler would make a compromise with Rohm. Hindenburg died a month later. Had Hitler hesitated for another month, he would most likely have been overthrown by the army. Nguyentrongphu ( talk) 19:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Regarding this addition to the lead. Firstly, no one regularly editing this article is going to dispute that Hitler was a virulent anti-semite. But to me putting it into the opening sentence is almost as redundant as saying that the Pope believes in God. Of course he does, but the specifics of saying how and when and why any particular Pope has influnced RC church's beliefs is infinitely more informative that recording the raw fact that he is a theist. Similarly the fact that AH's antipathy to Jews led his regime to attempt to remove an entire people from the face of the earth - and to succeed in eliminating around 6 million of them, as well as many other people - is a good deal more specific, and therefore more informative than the raw fact that AH was an anti-semite. AH is notable for putting his anti-semitism into lethal effect, not for not liking Jews, which was commonplace.
I also think that the list of AH's antipathies is so long (anti-Slav, anti-black, anti-communist, anti-liberal, anti-Christian, anti-Romany, anti-practically-everyone-except-German-Nazis), that we set a dangerous precedent by putting this 'label' in the opening sentence - rather than simply recording the impact that he had, which is pretty damning in itself.

"In 2019, Leonard Sax published a scholarly paper titled "Aus den Gemeinden von Burgenland: revisiting the question of Adolf Hitler's paternal grandfather".[1]"
"In July 1938, four months after the annexation of Austria to the German Reich, Hitler ordered a survey of Döllersheim, Maria Anna’s home town in Upper Austria, ostensibly to determine whether the terrain was suitable for army maneuvers. In 1939, the citizens were forcibly evacuated, “and the village, along with its heavily wooded countryside, was blasted beyond recognition by mortar shells and thoroughly ploughed over by army tanks” (Fischer, 1996: 74, 584n1; see also Hamann, 1996: 73). This episode has never been satisfactorily explained. No justification has ever been offered for Hitler’s decision to raze to the ground the entire village in which his grandmother had lived. Perhaps Hitler believed that the town might contain some clue to his ancestry which he was anxious to obliterate."
/info/en/?search=D%C3%B6llersheim
"The local authorities had bestowed honorary citizenship upon Hitler and re-constructed a grave of honour (Ehrengrab) for his grandmother, though to no avail. In the period up to 31 October 1941, Wehrmacht troops forcibly resettled all 2000 villagers before bombing their houses as part of the training exercises.[1]"

SteveBenassi, you keep repeating that Sax is a "Reliable Source". He is not. He is not a subject expert, he is not a trained historian, he is not even a scholar with any kind of background in this area. He is psychologist who specializes in gender issues, and is qualified to write on that subject, and nothing else
In a controversial subject area such as this, the quality of sources we accept must be exemplary, which is why we rely on well-qualified scholars and subject experts such as Kershaw, Evans, Bullock, Fest, Overy, Burleigh and others. Sax is not included in that grouping: he's a dilettante, an amateur, working in a subject area he's not at all qualified for.
If and when Sax's attempt to resurrect Frank's opinions is accepted by actual historians, subject experts and qualified scholar, then and only then can we consider giving it more coverage than it already has in this article. That has not happened, and is unlikely to happen. It is also clear that there is no consensus among Wikipedia's editors to accept your contention. Lacking acceptance by experts and consensus by editors, this issue should be considered -- once again -- closed.
Please do not continue to press the issue, such commentary would be WP:DISRUPTIVE at this point. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 18:04, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

I don’t think showing the titles these leaders held at the time glorifies them in any way, it simply shows what the government at the time officially recognized, and should be kept for historical accuracy. Kim il Sung and Kim Jong-il’s articles have the “eternal leader” title, almost making them look like gods despite being mass murderers themself. However, it shows the extent of their cult of personalities, just like the title of any dictator. BakedGoods357 ( talk) 22:00, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
@ BaxçeyêReş and Beyond My Ken: em dashes or en dashes are both fine, but this article should stay consistent in its usage. It looks like em dashes are currently used throughout the article for sentence punctuation. BMK, if you want, you could change all uses to en dashes. If not, we should restore the em dashes to the lead. I have a preference for emdashes but no compelling reason to insist on their usage; I am frequently on mobile and don't find any difference between the two in readability.

hi according to History channel and FBI and CIA investigating and documentary film about hitler and new evidence , hitler was seen in italy and other places so he didn't die in that bunker.
Is it really worth including “Austrian-born” when the article states he was born in Austria in the lede anyway? Without trying to cause any offence to Austrians and Germans today respectively, the general national identity of Austrians during the late 19th century and early 20th century was not the same as it has been for the last few decades. Whilst it’s irrelevant to include in the article what Adolf Hitler and the Nazis thought of who were Germans and who were not Germans, I can’t help but feel this article is putting too much emphasis on Hitler’s Austrian origin.-- 82.47.115.109 ( talk) 10:22, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

The recent spate of editing over the infobox has left some anomalies and oddities and I suspect the present result is more the result of "where the ball stopped rolling", rather than any agreement about the issues. I'm relatively neutral about some of those matters, so long as the final effect is clear and consistent with the article text (as well being WP:V by WP:RS of course), but think the matters worth discussing.
First of all Hitler's main title. It has been wrongly argued that WP:COMMONNAME applies. It doesn't since that is a guideline for article titles and anyway the actual practice for political offices is to use a semi-formal title ('Prime Minister of the United Kingdom', not 'British Prime Minister', 'President of the United States', not 'American President' or 'President of America'). However, even if we choose to go for the common nam-ish title, would that not be "Führer" rather than "Führer of Germany", which I think is neither fish nor fowl, neither the formality of the actual title 'Führer und Reichskanzler' in English or German, or both, nor the commonly used 'Führer'. No one I suspect has ever referred to the "Führer of Germany", partly because there has never been any 'Führers' of anywhere else. My own reaction is that this 'job title' is akin to 'President of America' and would be more educative if it were more formal or more accessible if more informal.
Secondly, did Hitler cease to be Chancellor in 1934 (when the powers of Chancellor were incorporated into those of Führer) or was he still Chancellor at his death? The sources seem to me to favour the first reading but I claim no special expertise. I know titles were merged (Hitler became Führer und Reichskanzler – although eventually Reichskanzler was quietly dropped), but can you meaningfully hold an office and function which has ceased to exist as an independent entity? Of course the key is what do sources say. I'm happy to go with consensus on this, but the infobox needs to reflect what is decided. If Hitler ceased to be Chancellor in 1934 because that function became part of the Führer function, then the office of Chancellor was vacant from 1934 until his death 11 years later and some way of noting that or simply ommitting his successor needs to happen (Goebbels only technically inherited the office for one day anyway). The old infobox wrongly implied that Goebbels took over in 1934 and needed fixing.
Lastly is " Nazi Germany" needed anywhere in the infobox (it was previously underneath both the Führer and the Chancellor job titles). This was discussed relatively recently and I can't remember what was decided. Personally I can see the benefit of using it as a shorthand form of "Germany-during-the-Nazi-period" when the linking of it can give context. I'm neutral here but would rather see only ONE use under Führer.
The principal changes are hers in between edits proposed various compromises.
Overall, are people happy with the recent changes? Pincrete ( talk) 16:09, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose. ― Tartan357 Talk 17:51, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
Hitler’s full title is cited on his Wikipedia page. At no point was he ever referred to alone officially as Führer of Germany: it was always Fuhrer and Chancellor.

cannot meaningfully be done at the same timeseems to be based on the assumption of a functioning democracy, which Nazi Germany was not. It doesn't really matter what our opinions of the constitutional reasonableness of this arrangement are. This line of reasoning is getting into WP:OR. He was a dictator, and these were the titles he chose to use. He assumed them separately, and he left them separately, so it's easiest for us to treat them separately in the infobox. That's really all it's about—I don't think we'd be implying anything about the power structure by listing them separately or together. The point you raised previously about the chancellor part of the title possibly being dropped is more significant, I think. I haven't seen any evidence of this happening at a specific time, and like I left it at before, I welcome any you're willing to provide.

I took a closer look at this section and noticed that the text mentions that the position of the Centre Party had been decisive (441 votes for and 84 against) in the passing of this Act. The Centre Party had won 73 seats in the March 1933 elections. Doing simple mathematical equations I noticed that even if the Centre Party voted against the act it still would have passed with 70% of the representatives voting in its favor (368 for and 157 against). Since amendments to the constitution require two thirds of the representatives VOTING AND PRESENT (so basically if the Centre Party voted against the bill: 368/(368+73+84)=70% voting for the passing of the act) is should have passed (as stated here) without the support of the Centre Party. In short, I don't see a logical explanation to why the votes of the Centre Party were decisive.
Another thing I noticed, looking at the table, it clearly states that 444 voted for the act and 94 against it. In this article it says 441 voted for and 84 against which is a bit confusing to me. LukeA1 ( talk) 18:23, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Erhard Auer was the Editor in Chief of the Münchener Post, it was shut down by Hitler in March 1933 immediately after he became the Reich Chancellor. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party called the newspaper and its editors "Giftküche" (The Poison Kitchen) and "Münchener Pest ("Munich Pestilence" or "Munich Plague"). Hitler considered the paper one of his most vexing public adversaries, and the paper was the target of libel actions by the Nazi Party. The paper was one of the few early warning voices regarding the dangers posed by the rise of the Nazi Party, although their warnings went largely unheeded at the time. Auer was imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp and died 20 March 1945.

What sources name Hitler as a white nationalist? To my understanding, white nationalism, at least outside of the United States, is a post WW2 ideology directly inspired from Neo-Nazism and antisemitism, not the other way around. And besides, Hitler's rhetoric was German supremacist, not broadly white nationalist (he promoted the genocide of Slavs).
If there are no objections or cited sources, I'll be removing the White Nationalist category. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 13:02, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
The primary target of Hitler's aggressive policy was a white population of Europe.WWII in Europe was, by an large, a white vs white conflict, and the most persecuted categories of population were Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, and some others. Interestingly, a major Hitler's ally was Japan (Asians), which was fighting against British (by that time, White) and Americans (mostly White). Moreover, Hitler's Nazism was build upon a (now obsolete) racial theory developed mostly in Britain, which linked the term "race" (i.e. a phenotype) with the term "ethnicity" (which is a purely social construct), and, what was especially wrong, declared intrinsic superiority of some of them based on some phenotype criteria.

Adolf Hitler, who was a spy for the German military at the time, joined the soon-to-be National Socialist German Workers' Party (or Nazi Party) in 1919. Two years after joining, in 1921, Hitler assumed the title of leader of the party from Anton Draxler. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HistoryGeekofficial ( talk • contribs) 22:47, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Adolf Hitler was an Austrian politician who ruled as Führer (absolute leader) of Germany from 1933 until his suicide in 1945. He is one of the most infamous people of the twentieth century. HistoryGeekofficial ( talk) 22:44, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
Is “Austrian-born” really necessary? Especially considering the article states “Hitler was born in Austria”.
one of the dictatorially-political acts of hitler was that he closed the freemasonic lodges. does that warrant inclusion on here? thanks Grandia01 ( talk) 08:10, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Hitler was also a writer, his Mein Kampf, proves it. It is important not to forget about that detail because it contains his political speaking abilities and represents the achievements he wanted to reach. 5.90.130.206 ( talk) 12:21, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

It should state in the opening line that "... was an Austrian-born German politician who was elected Chancellor of Germany in January 1933 and became the dictator of Germany in March of 1933 until his death in 1945.
This gives a much more informative view that he was elected into power and assumed dictatorial powers within a very short period of time. This distinguishes him from other dictators who assumed control via a military coup for example. 2601:600:8380:2CE0:4D97:A69E:4F5C:E0BE ( talk) 07:12, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering if World War II should be added to the tree list in the infobox. The article does mention him being CiC of the German Armed Forces and giving military orders on a tactical level, but I'm unsure if this would count or not. I know this matter may seem insignificant for a talk page discussion, but I felt that this would be one of those things that could lead to an edit war, so I thought I might confer with other editors about this here beforehand.

There's no mention of Adolf Hitler's involvement in the Bavarian Soviet Republic, why is that precisely? There are plenty of reliable sources which mention his brief affiliation with it.-- FriendlyFerret9854 ( talk) 10:46, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
Biographer Ian Kershaw in his Hitler biography wrote:
Hitler’s first political duties took place, therefore, in the service of the revolutionary regime run by the SPD and USPD. In fact, he would have had to explain away the even more embarrassing fact of his continued involvement at the very height of Munich’s ‘red dictatorship’. On 14 April, the day after the Communist Räterepublik had been proclaimed, the Munich Soldiers’ Councils approved fresh elections of all barrack representatives to ensure that the Munich garrison stood loyally behind the new regime. In the elections the following day Hitler was chosen as Deputy Battalion Representative. Not only, then, did Hitler do nothing to assist in the crushing of Munich’s ‘Red Republic’; he was an elected representative of his battalion during the whole period of its existence.
How to interpret this evidence is, nevertheless, not altogether clear the obvious implication must be that Hitler, in order to have been elected as a soldiers’ representative, voiced in these months the views of the socialist governments he later denounced with every fibre of his body as ‘criminal’…Already in the 1920s, and continuing into the 1930s, there were rumours, never fully countered, that Hitler had initially sympathized with the Majority SPD following the revolution… a pointed remark when defending Esser in 1921 against attacks from within the party, Hitler commented: ‘Everyone was at one time a Social Democrat.’
In itself, Hitler’s possible support for the Majority Social Democrats in the revolutionary upheaval is less unlikely than it might at first might appear…A number of strange bedfellows, including several who later came to belong to Hitler’s entourage, initially found themselves on the Left during the revolution. Sepp Dietrich, later a general in the Waffen-SS and head of Hitler’s SS-Leibstandarte, was elected chairman of a Soldiers’ Council in November 1918. Hitler’s long-time chauffeur Julius Schreck had served in the ‘Red Army’ at the end of April 1919. Hermann Esser, one of Hitler’s earliest supporters, who became the first propaganda chief of the N S D A P, had been for a while a journalist on a Social Democratic newspaper. Gottfried Feder, whose views on ‘interest slavery’ so gripped Hitler’s imagination in summer 1919, had sent a statement of his position to the socialist government headed by Kurt Eisner the previous November. And Balthasar Brandmayer, one of Hitler’s closest wartime comrades and a later fervent supporter, recounted how he at first welcomed the end of the monarchies, the establishment of a republic, and the onset of a new era.
A number of pointers towards Hitler’s opportunism exist from this period. In Pasewalk, he did not denounce to his superiors (as patriotic duty would have demanded) the sailors who arrived in the hospital preaching sedition and revolution. On leaving the hospital, he avoided committing himself politically, and made no attempt to join any of the numerous Freikorps units which sprang up to engage in the continued fighting on the eastern borders of the Reich and the suppression of left-wing radicalism within Germany, not least in Munich itself. After his return to Munich from Traunstein in February 1919, he most likely took part, since his regiment had issued orders to participate, in a demonstration march of about 10,000 left-wing workers and soldiers in Munich. Probably in April 1919, with Munich ruled by the Communist Councils, he wore, along with almost all the soldiers of the Munich garrison, the revolutionary red armband.
Significant, above all, is that within a week of the end of the rule of the Councils, Hitler had been nominated – by whom is not known – to serve on a three-man committee to explore whether members of the Reserve Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment had been actively involved in the Räterepublik.

The Haavara Agreement "transfer agreement" was an agreement between Nazi Germany and Zionist German Jews signed on 25 August 1933. The agreement was finalized after three months of talks by the Zionist Federation of Germany, the Anglo-Palestine Bank (under the directive of the Jewish Agency) and the economic authorities of Nazi Germany. It was a major factor in making possible the migration of approximately 60,000 German Jews to Palestine in 1933–1939. /info/en/?search=Haavara_Agreement — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.241.224.173 ( talk) 08:50, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

It remains suspicious and puzxling that an outright failure at University was sufficient to make him write a two volume biography in 1925 and 1926 titled Mein Kampf, unless it was written elsewhere by someone else. Who would not want to put his (their) name as the true author(s)? Some half-brained somebodies from somewhere! WinOrVodka ( talk) 11:09, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
A grammar tag was placed on this GA rated article in this section. The edit summary states - "see article talk page". However, there is no new addition of explanation for the tag added to the talk page. So, before removal, it would be helpful to know specifically why it has been placed on the article, as to this section to see if something needs to be tended to, accordingly.

"While news of Hitler's death spread quickly, he was not issued a death certificate until 1956, owing to the difficulties of legally ascertaining his death largely upon eyewitness testimony, resulting in it being filed as an assumption of death"After the first clause, it requires the passive tense, i.e. "While news of Hitler's death spread quickly, no death certificate was issued until 1956." The rest of the material from Joachimsthaler's Preface can probably be summarised in one or two sentences. For example: "The delay arose because of the difficulty in legally establishing his death through eyewitness testimony, and as a result it was officially recorded as 'an assumption of death'." The 1956 newspaper report from the Süddeutsche Zeitung reads
