actually, it's Adolf

 


so here's a picture of Benito Mussolini and Adolf together in I suppose what you would call stoic times. There one fact that is a bit of a let down in this scenario. Mussolini was killed two days before Hitler and his wife Eva Braun committed suicide. 
On 29 April 1945, the bodies of Mussolini, Petacci, and the other executed Fascists were loaded into a van and moved south to Milan. After being kicked and spat upon, the bodies were hung upside down from the roof of an Esso gas station. The bodies were then stoned from below by civilians. 

Stalin? Had a stroke. Talk about an anti climax.

the sad and surreal entry I found was related to Eva Braun. Maybe decency omitted the specific date but Married 1945 - Died 1945. I suppose it wouldn't be hard to obtain that information, what being the wife of one of worst mass murderers in history. 

surely now there must be a definitive overview of Adolf, to the extent that say, on 21st September 1944 Hitler dispensed with his normal routine and substituted a cup of coffee for tea. Makes me think that after all this time is there anything we don't know about Hitler?

anyway, searching Adolf as opposed to Adolph produced a whole range of different results. Some of the questions similar and some actually surprising 

Is the name Adolf legal?

What was Adolf Hitler's net worth?

What does the name Adolf mean?

Can you name your child Adolf in the US?

What names are illegal in Australia?

I suppose because I used the "correct" spelling of the first name, I got to see a number of Hitler quotes

If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.

Words build bridges into unexplored regions.

He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.

It is not truth that matters, but victory.

What luck for rulers that men do not think.

Humanitarianism is the expression of stupidity and cowardice.

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few.

...obstacles do not exist to be surrendered to, but only to be broken.

The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.

now a few of these quotes reminds me of someone. I didn't deliberately search this out but a number of articles appeared and I was only searching Adolf and not the surname. A number of sites comparing or debunking Hitler to Donald Trump. Then a few articles about fake news and how that was invented ages ago by Hitler. One interesting Newsweek article; A woman tweeted Hitler was better than Trump and Twitter won't say whether she broke its rules

one website that appeared that was a little disturbing was Biography: Hitler for Kids, including the following section, 

Facts about Hitler

Hitler loved the circus, especially the acrobats.

He never took his coat off, no matter how hot it got.

He didn't exercise and didn't like sports.

Only one of Hitler's 5 siblings survived childhood, his sister Paula.

He had a cat named Schnitzel.

probably the hardest thing about getting facts about the name Adolf is you can't get information aside from Hitler. There was a couple who named their baby after Adolf Hitler and were members of a banned neo-Nazi group in Britain have been jailed for more than 10 years combined. Then this adorable child and the subsequent headline,


Adolf Hitler Campbell gets his birthday cake

More fallout after a Pennsylvania supermarket refuses to put a child's name on his birthday cake. The little boy's name is Adolf Hitler Campbell. While the market said no, Wal-Mart decorated the cake as ordered. And now, some customers are furious.

A surname as a middle name. Odd.

but do a search "Adolf name" and you hit pay dirt with articles about baby names that have tanked and discussions surrounding the stigma behind the name. So I did a search of images - so many graphs!

wait a minute, what's the title of this graph?

Hilary: the most poisoned baby name in US history....
