His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He doesn’t care about his father, as he coldly stared at him when he was dying and didn’t even try to help him, though it’s justified because he abused him a lot.
- He blamed his misfortunes on "international Jewry", believing that Jews were conspiring to undermine his beloved Germany and deny him the success and happiness that were his by right of birth.
- After a stray dog adopted by He in the trenches humiliates him in front of his fellow servicemen by pissing on his leg, he responds by dragging it off and beating the poor thing to death. However, doing so actually saves Hitler when a shell explodes in the shelter where they just were. In real life, Hitler was actually a massive animal lover who owned two dogs.
- He has an obsessive relationship with his niece, Geli. He is also implied to have an abusive sexual relationship with her. And this differs as there is no historical evidence whatsoever that He was any kind of sexual predator. He's immensely jealous whenever another man shows an interest in her and treats her more like a mindless pet than a human being. This ultimately leads her to commit suicide.
- Hitler obsessively controls the Party he leads, punishing members who do not follow his exacting orders.
- He ensures tabs are kept on them whenever possible and blackmails Ernst Hanfstaengl into staying to publish his memoir, threatening to reveal his involvement in the Beer Hall Putsch if he doesn't do so.
- He expelled Gregor Strasser from the Party for even considering an offer for the vice chancellorship without his consent and later had him murdered in the Night of the Long Knives.
- He uses the Reichstag fire to have rights suspended and many opponents rounded up, and then the Enabling Act is approved, a significant step in turning Germany into a dictatorship.
- He holds a speech where he proclaims the foundation of a new German empire after he has eliminated all his political rivals in a sweeping purge. The Nazis also rounded up thousands of opponents, having to open concentration camps when the normal prisons were full.
- He establishes absolute power over Germany; dissidents are either murdered or forced to flee the country; and World War II unfolds.
- Many people say this is one of the darkest versions of Hitler, as he is shown to have many acts that are different from the real-life version and much crueler.
- His past of getting rejected from art schools and being injured in the army is too petty to count as truly tragic in comparison to all of his crimes.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He cares for his mother, and he is so close to her that he never wanted to let her go. And even he cried and was broken when she died.
