    Hitler according to his WWI regiment

    "A loner, an object of ridicule and a 'rear-area pig."

    Quite another view then most others.

    I'm not surprised at all.

    Interesting, but I do recall that it was said that he never used poison gas in WWII because he had been gassed in WWI, but who knows if that was the propaganda of the time.

    Interesting calling him a coward...he was gassed and injured at the end of the war.

    Anyway....he had a cushy number...and I bet all those calling him a rear area pig wouldve swapped places in a heartbeat.

    Nothing wrong with easy duty.

    Not real surprising. Makes a lot of sense.

    Agreed, it does make sense. But almost all would of been happy with it.
