Hans Liten just fueled Hitler's need to kill Jewish people


I've never known of this development, If this film was true fact, then Hans Liten drove a red hot spike into Hitler's hate and his want to kill every Jew he could get his hands on. There was a point in the courtroom where Hitler was EXTREMELY aggravated about the barrage of information that made him look very unsteady and weak, he basically was made a fool of in the morning part of the hearing. I am sure he never forgot that day during his assaults on humanity. EDIT: This was a suberb movie despite
whatever role it may or may not have played it Hitler's ####ed up mind!END EDIT

Do you even know the alphabet? Your intelligence is spilling all over your inspiring posts, go back to the mirror for a while and maybe you will figure out how to form sentences, nah just go play with the people with double digit I.Q.'s, that means less than 100, can you count up that high? Another fifth grade dropout trying to use the internet, long sigh.........

No, I don"t believe that "Litten deserved what he got".

He made a try. As I understand it, this movie was based on court transcripts, and so I percieve that he made a very good try.

There were numerous attempts on Hitler's life which failed, but the man had the luck of the devil.

Litten made his try within the bounds of the law, which, although unsuccessful, still deserves merit. It was courageous and audacious, and an inspiration.

I would venture that there were plenty of other "red-hot spikes" to stir Hitler's ire - that is no excuse to appease insanity.

Sometimes, you just gotta stand up.

I totally agree with you tzogas
In the words of Morpheus, “What happened happened and couldn’t have happened any other way”
Today Hitler is remembered as the Devil on Earth,
Litten may or not be remembered by many,
The important question, have some of us understood the correct lesson from this story?
Evil should be fought always and everywhere with the truth, the outcome doesn’t matter. The one satisfaction that neither Hitler nor his henchmen could ever take from Litten, was that he spent his last days knowing, he was right and that no one else dared to do what he did.
Do you what to live forever? This is certainly, one way.

So you think that because Liten challenged Hitler in court about his statement in Leipzig that his Nazis movement did not approve of violence ... he has culpability or responsibility (dug the graves) for the millions that died at the hands of the Nazis after that? More so you feel he got (5 years in a concentrations and ultimately death) what he deserved.

Please tell us how things would have been different had Liten not called Hitler to the testify. I will give you a chance to show us that you are not as stupid as your statement in 2011 is.

Nobody deserves what ANY single Jewish person got that was even faintly touched by Hitler's rath. Poor choice of wording in saying he deserved it, edited.

Nonetheless, tell me you're not so stupid to have not ever heard the phrase "you don't poke the bear". Sometimes, regardless of how terribly the scales are unbalanced it's better to step out of the way of the rabid "animal" and to run then to throw stones at it.

I've been one to often wonder what would or could ever possibly drive any human being to exterminate 9 million innocent civilians in such a horrific manner all due to hate, an intelligent, fully functioning person to do such a thing. What could possibly instill such an unquenchable hate? It's not Liten's fault, he didn't form these beliefs in Hitler, but he imo made a mistake in pursuing Hitler, surely his foresight wasn't so good and disregarded the possible repercussions. If you don't see my point fine, feel free to disagree.

Of course I have heard the phrase "don't poke the bear." I just believe that it has no relevance in this case. I believe ... and most historians will tell you the same ... that the rise of the Nazis ... and the resulting Holocaust ... would have been pretty much the same had this case never occurred.

This trail changed very little ... it is a side note of a time when things where spinning out of control at an alarming rate. A time when most reasonable men (Litten's father ... a Jew nonetheless) did not do enough to stop these horrifying people from taking power.

I think you need to take a better look at Hitler's origins. AH was very bitter about Germany's defeat in WW1 ... and he blamed the Jews for it. More so he was very bitter about the war reparations that crippled Germany in the Treaty of Versailles ... which he also blamed on the Jews. Finally, he was horrified by international socialism ... which he felt was promoted by the Jews. He got vocal about these "concerns" and remarkably they struck a chord in the common man ... and that is when the snowball began its roll.

Consider Mein Kampf ... the manifesto that AH wrote while in jail in 1923 & 24 ... 7 years before the trail we write of. This text is filled with antisemitism.

See here ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mein_Kampf

History looks back at the rise of Hitler and National Socialism (Nazis) and wonders why the Germans where so passive as to let this happen ... why there was not more Littens to stand against these bullies. I believe that Litten is a hero and that it was naive of you to suggest he has any culpability in the Holocaust what so ever.
