Hitler had millions of life-shortening methods. That's why this 24/7 full-time idiot did also shorten his own life via to let someone else do the own suicide when he reached the "biblical" age of 56 years,
As far as I know before Hitler became chancellor and president of Germany he had been a social welfare recipient - who did not live a particularly healthy life. He lived a long time after world war 1 in a men's hostel. The nonsense that he never drank alcohol and was a vegetarian was by the way also only a myth made from his own propaganda.
Eh? What a nonsense. His real name had been "Adolf Schicklgruber" but his father changed his own name into "Hitler" - what was a wrong form of the long spoken name "Hiedler" (and not from the short spoken name "Hüttler"). Astonishing in this context is only that to say "Heil Schicklgruber" sounds in German totally funny and "Heil Hiedler" sounds in German relativelly strange and is very soft when it is spoken out fluently. Only "Heil Hitler" has still today some "demonic" power because of the short hard Prussian intonation of this soft Austrian name.
You do not know a lot about Adolf Hitlers real life, isn't it?
Bismark was very famous for his diplomacy. Example: In his time of history was often a little bowl full of water for everyone on the table on reason to be able to wash the own fingers during a meal. A Black African guest of Bismark drank out of this bowl and before someone was able to laugh or to make an unsuitable comment Bismark also drank out of his own bowl. This message was clear to everyone: Not to know "etiquette" disqualifies no one!
Sorry. But to compare Bismark and Hitler is like to compare Biden and Putin. No one with a sane mind would say this two people are the same.
You should really accept that Jews had been Germans like all others before Hitler came. You think totally weird.
Here the translation of an article about the "anti-Semitism" of Otto von Bismarck in the NZZ (Switzerland) written from the famous German historian Michael Wolffsohn. source:
War Bismarck Antisemit?
-----
Bismarck discriminated against Jews. But not across the board, but à la carte, so to speak
The Reich Chancellor's anti-Semitism was light years away from the liquidationist hatred of Jews of the Nazi criminals. So: let Bismarckallee be Bismarckallee
Who is anti-Semitic and what is anti-Semitism? Since the Documenta controversy, this eternal question has once again heated up emotions. For a long time, everything seemed clear: anti-Semitism has always been a phenomenon of the right. Now anyone who looks can see it: There has been an alliance of Islamists, leftists and - as their useful idiots - left-wing liberals for a long time. In France, they are called Islamogauchistes. They include the post-colonialists, who don't just compare the Holocaust and colonial crimes - which makes sense. For them, the Holocaust is a lesser crime because it is internal, not racist.
If you want to understand today's debate better, look back and compare. Did the murderous line of the anti-Semites also lead "from Bismarck to Hitler"?
A 2021 study by the Berlin Anti-Semitism Commissioner states: ". . . Bismarck had intensive contacts in the anti-Semitic camp of the German Empire, for example with one of the leaders of the political anti-Semitic movement, Adolf Stoecker. He was made an honorary member of the anti-Semitic All-German Association. He himself is not known for anti-Semitic statements.
He did not condemn the 'anti-Semite petition'. However, with the founding of the empire, he did in fact support Jewish emancipation in the empire, although he had still spoken out against this in 1847."
The source base is thin, is another monument being toppled?
Distance from Jew-haters
Fritz Stern, who was not Jewish himself, but who liked to be celebrated and pampered as such in post-war western Germany, had discovered and extensively analyzed truly unknown documents, i.e. factual material. Bismarck was probably not quite as "anti-Semitic" as implied in the aforementioned study, as his Jewish banker Gerson Bleichröder was elevated to hereditary nobility in 1872, certainly not without the Chancellor's approval. This Jew was one of the few genuine confidants, advisors and absolutely loyal men around Bismarck for a long time.
The man who carried out the failed assassination attempt on Bismarck in Berlin's Unter den Linden on May 7, 1866, the radical democrat Ferdinand Cohen-Blind, was Jewish.
The dates are revealing, and one should be added: 1863, when Bismarck met the Jew Ferdinand Lassalle, the co-founder of German Social Democracy, and they made plans together. They could not be realized because Lassalle lost his life soon afterwards in an absurd duel.
1866, the assassination attempt on Bismarck. The assassination stirred up the public, not the assassin's Jewishness, and Bismarck did not use or abuse the Jewish factor either. Anti-Semitic? In 1872, Gerson Bleichröder became Gerson von Bleichröder. Anti-Semitic? 1878/79, the Berlin anti-Semitism controversy, sparked above all by the historian and enemy of the Jews Heinrich von Treitschke and the devoted anti-Semite, court preacher and politician Adolf Stoecker. The Berlin anti-Semitism study had placed Bismarck in political proximity to this Adolf Stoecker.
Contrary to what the Berlin anti-Semitism study claimed, the Reich Chancellor had indeed distanced himself from the inveterate Jew-hater Stoecker, and not without risk. In Fritz Stern's "Gold and Iron", we read on page 607 that Bismarck "reproached" Prince Wilhelm - Kaiser Wilhelm II from 1888 - for his public declaration of solidarity with Stoecker. Stoecker not only hated "the" Jews in general, but Gerson von Bleichröder in particular. Bismarck stood by the Jews and the enemy of the Jews, especially as he himself had been attacked by anti-Semites for "almost a decade" (Fritz Stern) because of his relationship of trust with Bleichröder. But, see Fritz Stern's quote from Bismarck: "
It is not money Judaism but political Reform Judaism that is asserting itself in our press and parliamentary bodies. The interests of moneyed Jewry are more closely connected with the preservation of our state institutions and cannot do without the latter. The propertyless Jewry in the press and parliament, which has little to lose, much to gain and joins every opposition, can under certain circumstances also reach an alliance with the Social Democrats, including Stöcker. Mr. Stöcker's agitation is not preferably directed against this either; his speeches are calculated to arouse the envy and covetousness of the dispossessed against the haves."
In other words, Fritz Stern concludes, "rich Jews are useful and conservative, ordinary ones have a tendency to be radical and subversive". Let's call it "class anti-Semitism".
Let Bismarckallee be Bismarckallee
Measured against parts of his entourage, Bismarck's class anti-Semitism was downright progressive and pro-Jewish, because in his own "class", for example with Puttkammer, the Jew was suspect. No surprise then: from 1880, the Jew Eduard Cohen looked after the chancellor as his personal physician for a time. Anti-Semitism? One could argue that anti-Semites have always liked to be treated by Jewish doctors. They were usually better than others and tended to be underpaid.
Bismarck undoubtedly harbored the anti-Jewish prejudices that were widespread at the time (and today?), even in refined and educated society. He discriminated against Jews. Unlike many others, he did not do so across the board, but à la carte, so to speak. We Jews refer to discriminatory anti-Semitism as "good old Rishess"; Rishess from the Hebrew "Rescha", meaning malice.
There was and is both generalized and differentiated Rishess. We encounter this in Bismarck. Certainly not state of the art in terms of tolerance and acceptance, but in the context of discriminatory anti-Semitism it is the rather mild version. Even more comforting: light years away from the liquidatory anti-Semitism of the Nazi criminals. Rischess or not: let Bismarckallee be Bismarckallee, especially as he left the Jews alone. They thanked him with Prussian and then German patriotism.
Bismarck fits the universal historical pattern of authorities and Jews: if and as long as they are needed, Jews are welcome or at least tolerated. Then, as in Schiller's "Fiesco": "The Moor has done his work, the Moor can go." I call this functional tolerance, as opposed to internalized ethical tolerance. I described this pattern in detail in my book "Eine andere Jüdische Weltgeschichte" (April 2022).
Imperial German colonialism
Until the highly topical comparison of the crimes of colonialism and the Holocaust - even before the Documenta - anti-Semitism and colonialism were not played off against each other politically or academically. With regard to Bismarck, he slipped into colonialism rather unwillingly, late and through pressure from below. Moreover, in contrast to the highly hysterical situation in West Germany, colonialism in the German Reich was much more harmless than British, French, Dutch, Belgian, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish or Japanese colonialism.
And Bismarck was only responsible for 6 of the 34 years of German colonialism. The bloodbaths of the Reich German massacres of the Herero and Nama, recently (in my view incorrectly) referred to as genocide, took place after Bismarck.
No doubt: light and shadow, as with everyone, including Bismarck. But also no doubt in comparison to most contemporary politicians (not only in Germany). Bismarck was able to think strategically and tactically, cynically and in context. Like his descendants Gerhard Schröder and Angela Merkel, he would never have placed his country in the almost total dependence of another actor. He really wasn't mediocre. He had more charisma, more education, spoke more foreign languages and better German. If the supposed anti-Semitism à la Bismarck had continued in Germany, there would certainly not have been six million murders of Jews.
Nevertheless, I have no nostalgia for Bismarck or the Kaiser.
In this Federal Republic of Germany, the Jewish Wolffsohns, the Muslim Türüks, the descendants of Bismarck, the Müllers, Maiers and Schulzes have equal rights. Things were different in the Bismarck empire. Despite its dramatic deficits and despite its many Islamogauchists and post-colonialists, the Federal Republic of Germany is the best that has ever existed, because it is a stable democratic German citizen state.
