A man who changed the world

*warning this is the first but certainly not last controversial blog i will be posting, and this one isn't even that conterversel, your opinions are appreciated, and ill read them it may not change my opinion it may give me a different perspective.


So i went to see the Valkyrie with Tyler and Katie today. Its this movie about an assassination attempt on Hitler. The major part of the movie honestly was not really focused on Hitler at all, the actor portraying him only had a few lines. However the film did give a clear insight into the power this man held over Germany. Many scenes that i can only assume the directors/writers put in on purpose portrayed this. But one that stood out the most was when a telegraph message operate Begin crying upon learning the false information that Hitler had been killed. There is no doubt that Hitler did many many horrible things. However, he was an extraordinary man in a way. He managed to gain the trust and loyalty of millions of people. He grabbed on to peoples fear and a need to place that fear into something. As horrible of a person as he was he was extraordinary at becoming powerful
