The Turner Classic Movie schedule for December featured The Great Dictator, Charlie Chaplin's first talking picture. The classic 1940 film was released one year before the U.S. abandoned its policy of neutrality and entered the Second World War. Chaplin, in The Great Dictator, satirizes the best-known evil person the world has ever known. Had the world known the extent of the misinformation surrounding Hitler, a former street cleaner and gay prostitute The Great Dictator, would be a documentary.

December 10, 2010 AP NewsBreak, Hitler's Shadow: Nazi War Criminals, U.S. Intelligence, and the Cold War bring the events of Nazi Germany back into the headlines:

The 600-page report, the Justice Department has tried to keep secret for four years, confirms what the report refers to as “a pathetic chapter” in our nation’s history. The "experts" our intelligence people recruited were just a bunch of criminals and losers that never provided any useful intelligence about the Soviet Union.” Long-hidden report: CIA created ‘safe haven’ for Nazis in the US [1]

Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, the best-known film star the world has ever known, in The Great Dictator, satirizes who our filtered history books claim was the best-known evil person the world has ever known. [2]

The social cataclysmic events of two World Wars, the Holocaust and 70 million deaths were not about a fanatical dictator trying to take over the world with money from Elite of The Global Financial Elite (Hitler’s Grandfather) and Prescott Bush, but was a satanic ancient plan to ensure the Jews arrived in Palestine not in 1946 or 1950, but in 1948, AKA The Key to the Secret of the Universe.

Sometimes truth is stranger than historical fiction, or, is it the other way around?

The Great Dictator begins during a battle of World War I where an unnamed Jewish private (Charlie Chaplin), a barber by profession, is comically blundering through the trenches in a tract of combat scenes fighting for the Central Powers in the army of the fictional nation of Tomaini.

At the outbreak of the Great War, Adolph Hitler, rumored to be part Jewish, joined the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment and became a Dispatch Runner.

He proved himself a capable and “brave soldier,” was twice wounded, once almost fatally gassed, and awarded the Iron Cross in recognition of his bravery.

“Hitler fought bravely in more than forty battles and was promoted to corporal and decorated with both the Iron Cross Second Class and First Class.” John Toland

On awarding this recognition, Colonel Anton Tubeuf further stated: “He was always ready to help out in any situation, always volunteered for the most difficult and most arduous, and the most dangerous missions, and to risk his life and well-being for the Fatherland. “

Well not quite, read the following revisionist history.

February 5, 1914, months before war broke out, the twenty-five year old Adolph Hitler, a part-Jewish [4] street cleaner and a gay prostitute, applied for military service and was turned away as 'Unfit for the army or auxiliary corps’, he was too weak and had a history of tuberculosis. Hitler By Joachim C. Fest

Unwilling to sit out the war, living next door to Ilyitch Ulyanov (Lenin), Adolph begs the King of Bavaria and is allowed to join the 6th battalion of the 2nd Bavarian Infantry Regiment as a volunteer in The War to End All Wars, AKA A Pointless Tragedy. Hitler By Joachim C. Fest

August 3, 1914 in its first engagement against the British and Belgians near Pyres, 2500 of the 3000 men in the Hitler's regiment were killed, wounded or missing. Hitler escaped without a scratch. Hitler By Joachim C. Fest

Throughout most of the war Hitler had great luck avoiding life-threatening injury. The times that Hitler cheated death became a legend that has baffled historians ever since. Hitler had narrowly escaped death an inordinate number of times, as if he led a charmed life.

More than once, he moved away from a spot where, moments later, a shell exploded killing or wounding everyone.

"I was eating my dinner in a trench… when "Suddenly a voice seemed to be saying to me 'Get up and go over there', It was so clear and insistent that I obeyed mechanically, as if it had been a military order.

I rose at once to my feet and walked twenty yards along the trench, carrying my dinner in its tin can with me. Then I sat down to go on eating, my mind being once more at rest. Hardly had I done so when a flash and deafening report came from part of the trench I just left. A stray shell had burst over the group I had been sitting, and every member of it was killed". Adolf Hitler, John Toland

“The annals of history are full of fateful moments which scholars refer to as the great ‘what if’s’ of history, where if events had taken only a slight deviation the course of human affairs would have been dramatically different. Such a moment occurred in the last moments of the Great War in the French village of Marcoing involving 27-year old Private Henry Tandey of Warwickshire, UK. Tandey was mentioned five times in dispatches and certainly earned his VC during the capture of the French village and crossing at Marcoing, his regiment held down by heavy machine gun fire Tandey crawled forward, located the machine gun nest and took it out.

Arriving at the crossing Henry Tandey braved heavy fire to place wooden planks over a gaping hole enabling troops to roll across and take the battle to the Germans.

As the ferocious battle wound down and enemy troops surrendered or retreated a wounded German soldier limped out of the maelstrom and into Private Tandey's line of fire, the battle weary man never raised his rifle and just stared at Tandey resigned to the inevitable.

I took aim but couldn't shoot a wounded man”, said Tandey, ‘so I let him go.’

Henry Tandey VC DCM MM was haunted the remainder of his life by his good deed, [he incorrectly concluded] the simple squeeze of a trigger would have spared the world a catastrophe which cost tens of millions of lives. [3.5]
