Driving around in a WW2 KdFWagen wearing a Nazi uniform? That'd be cool. (Just watch out when you drive past the RSL).

The wheel is actually the wind on park brake, most older locomotives have the same set up.

As to the personality; I watched a tv show many years ago, that acknowledged that if it hadn't been for the war, Hitler would have been remembered as the greatest statesman in history for how he got Germany out of the depression..

Yes, but like Stalin and other such leaders, some people paid a terrible price because of his policies. That's why we have history, so we can learn from the horrors and do our best to make sure we have checks to stop those sorts of things happening.

personality leads to popularity then politics leads to power ....loss of selfdiscipline which ends it all

Sorry to get off topic here, but this needs to be cleared up.

GENECIDE is not a lack of self-discipline.

The Nazi regime was responsible for some most amazing innovations of the modern world. However, it was also repsonsible for some of most horendous crimes against humanity ever seen in a first world country. Did you know that they executed more Gypsies, Nuns/priests and disabled people than Jews? The Jews are just the well known cases.

Yes Hilter was an amazing leader, but he was also responsible for murder of millions of innocent people.

Please do not forget. As the adage goes,

"Those who forget history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them."

Lest we forget...

Sadly, many, many more at the hands of many misguided people who used Christianity for their own ends rather than God's. The question is, is that what Jesus would want? And the answer we all know is NO. He valued life more highly than anyone else in history and taught others to do so as well.
