Hitler and the Armenian Genocide

Re: Hitler and the Armenian Genocide

Good point. Hitler had a better understanding of the AG then most people in general during the 1900's, let's agree with that.

Hilter was on the war front during World War I. I believe he would have justifiably understood and made the connections between why he was fighting in a world war, who actually benefited from the war, and who got screwed and why.

Re: Hitler and the Armenian Genocide

The delusions that some Armenians have about their own history sometimes beggars belief.

What's that supposed to mean, Bell? Don't just give me a meow, give me a clear answer.

What do you mean "he was there!"? He never set foot in Turkey.

First off, the AG didn't take place only in Turkey and regarding Hitler, can't remember where I heard that he was a witness of the AG when he was young. Something like that. He some connection to it. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not sure.

HE WAS THERE ! Does that make a difference or did everyone in the world also have a tour in Armenia at the time of the AG?

Oh yeah, just like we're all witnesses to the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan... PLEASE, we have all the technology today to report the news and events accurately and we're still censored and lied to. Unless you see events unfold in first person, you WILL NOT have a life changing experience.

Saco - just about every adult alive in the 1930s was a witness (if by witness you mean lived through the same time period) of the Armenian Genocide and everyone knew that it had taken place.

Re: Hitler and the Armenian Genocide

Do you know he was a witness of the AG when he was young (If I'm not mistaken)? So if that's true, that's one more piece of the puzzle. He knew very well that the AG took place (He was there) and Turkey got away with it. So why is it so far fetched that he might have used the AG as a way of convincing his generals that his plan would work?

Re: Hitler and the Armenian Genocide

Not that I'm saying your lying, Anonymouse, but could you tell me how you researched and got that Hitler never said anything like that?

He knew very well that the AG took place (He was there) and Turkey got away with it. So why is it so far fetched that he might have used the AG as a way of convincing his generals that his plan would work? It's as simple as that. He wanted to use all he had, all his ideas, etc. to get his plans up and running so why not talk about the AG, the first Genocide of the 20th Century?

Just my way of thinking, I may be wrong.

Re: Hitler and the Armenian Genocide

Is there any evidence proving that he never said it, or is this just a hunch of yours?

Regardless, as an emotional message to Armenians, associating the AG with what Hitler did to the xxxs, it does not appeal to me.

He has a point here. I personally have researched this quote and in the end I found that it is really not true.

You cannot have evidence that he never said it as that is trying to prove a negative. The burden is on those who claim it.

I personally feel we Armenians have alot more better arguments to make than relying on this quote. This quote is basically Armenians saying "If Hitler said it so it must be true" and since everyone knows Hitler was an evil genocidal man then therefore the case for the Armenian genocide is sealed!
