[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 56310, member: 44"]You're welcome, Johnett. >Hitler copyright all of his images< That part of my reply wasn't well worded. It came across as each individual pic was copyright. I believe it was only one all encompassing copyright that covered all his images. >it is an important thing to learn so it will not be repeated.< Very true!!! If one doesn't learn their history, they may be doomed to repeat it. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."[B][/B] We like to hear the history of our heroes and do-gooders, but we should know the history of our anti-heroes, villains. Two of history's worst villains were more or less of the same time, Hitler and Stalin. Hitler was able to mesmerize one of the most educated, literate, country in the world - Germany. If a people as literate as the Germans were could be mesmerized by the such as Hitler, it could perhaps happen to **any** country. BBC made an interesting documentary back in the late 1980 titled [I]The Fatal Attraction of Adolph Hitler[/I] that helps, at least tries, to explain the attraction the German people had for him. An ongoing argument among some of the world's historians, who was the worst, the most evil, Hitler or Stalin. For decades Stalin had massive purges, the Great Terror. His reign of terror lasted from 1924 to when he died in 1953 (29 yrs) - estimates range as high as 50 million. He definitely had more killed.

His mass murders were considered worst because they were racially motivated - the Holocaust, genicide of the Jews, and to exterminate Slavs who he considered only worthy to be slaves. No one is sure just how many were killed. The estimates range from 12 million to 20 million. Estimates: these are just estimates that could range 500,000 either way: 6 million Jews 2.5–4 million Soviet POWs 2 to 3 million non-Jewish Poles 1 million Serbs 200,000 Freemasons 100,000 Communists 20,000 homosexual men 2,000 Jehovah Witnesses 100s maybe 1,000s of mentally disturbed Germans were euthanized etc.... Most of Stalin's massive purges were to his own people while Hitler wasn't so picky. He murdered civilians of many countries.
