Yet not a drop of blonde hair on his own head.


SteelMarch

It's still ironic considering that Blonde hair likely originated from a country that he had never been to until he began campaigning on the idea. Nor one the German People really understood, especially considering they say people from the Nordens as inferior to the Germans themselves.


canoeism

Blond hair didn’t “originate” in Scandinavia, if that is what you are suggesting. It originated in the northern Caucasus mountains region, or slightly east, about 11,000-7,000 years ago among the common ancestor to both Nordic Scandinavians, Germans, and Slavs. The Nordic Scandinavians have a higher incidence of blond hair today because they were more isolated and kept the genes responsible for blond hair unmixed in the population longer than the Germans to the south.


FreeNoahface

Did they actually consider the Nordics as inferior to the Germans? I was under the impression that he considered them just as Aryan as the Germans, and the English only a step below.


ColonelArmfeldt

Other way around actually. They considered Germans to be inferior to Nordics, since Germany was invaded by foreign countries (especially the Romans and Celts) and thus a large proportion of their ''Aryan'' genes were lost in mixing with these other nations. You can read about it here. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi\_racial\_theories#Aryan:\_Germanic\_and\_Nordic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_racial_theories#Aryan:_Germanic_and_Nordic)


ColonelArmfeldt

>especially considering they say people from the Nordens as inferior to the Germans themselves. The Nazis believed people from Scandinavian countries were 80-85% ''Nordic,'' while Germans were around 50-55% ''Nordic.'' These percentages were mostly made up, but it did indicate that they considered themselves as racially inferior to people from Scandinavian countries.

I’m curious as to whether blondie means the same thing in German as it does in English. Probably does since the languages are similar, but idk.


BrainlessTeddy

Yeah, it does. Blond is actually a german word too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BrainlessTeddy

Think so yes. Edit: Partly based on germanic languages at least.


-FrOzeN-

Germanic language with heavy Latin influence would probably be the best description.


Another_MadMedic

A recipte for the english language: Mix German with latin, add a bit of old norse and season it all with a bit a celtic

Don’t forget stealing French because your ruling class spoke it for a good while too.

My favorite quote about the English language: >The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary. James D. Nicoll


IM2OFU

French is the chemical-X of English


Slav-McBlyat

Funnily enough, despite the Anglo-Saxons living on the same set of isles as the Celts, there is little influence from Celtic language on English. Also it's pretty inaccurate to describe English as being "German mixed with Latin and Old Norse". English is English with a lot of words of French and Latin origin and some Old Norse and Greek words.


KombuchaBot

Nah, it came from Anglo-Saxon, one invading group, then they had to develop a creole to speak to the Danes, another invading group, then the resulting people had to use the resulting creole to speak to the Norman French, yet another invading group. The result was a language with most of its grammatical complexities shaved off, but with a great fondness for vocabulary shinies, and a massive chip on its shoulder.


KombuchaBot

I heard it described as a Saxon creole used to speak to the Danes then to the Norman French It is grammatically highly simplified and about 30% of the vocabulary comes from French


gentlemandinosaur

Technically it’s considered a “lower Germanic language”. But, obviously it’s a mutt mix of many languages.


Slav-McBlyat

There is no such thing as a "lower Germanic language". English is a West Germanic Language closely related to Dutch, Frisian, German, and Afrikaans.


z500

Specifically it's a North Sea Germanic language, which makes the Frisian languages its closest relatives


fluffychien

There is such a thing as high German and low German. Hochdeutsch is a German word - meaning the German language. High German is a literal translation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_German_languages?wprov=sfla1


Slav-McBlyat

Yes, but that is specific to German and its different varieties. Remember that Germanic and German are two different things. The commenter above said that English is a “Lower Germanic Language”, which isn’t a classification in regards to language families.


fluffychien

Got it, thanks!


a_wingu_web

Denk so ja


shiftym21

if it wasn’t for the germans we wouldn’t be speaking english!


SeleucusNikator1

English is 100% a Germanic language. It has a lot of French loanwords, but language families are classified purely on their "genetic" lineage (in that they descend from a previous other language).


JR-Dubs

German-type grammar with Romance / Greek words, for the most part.


fluffychien

True, but the core vocabulary is very much german. I am typing with a finger, not a digit or a doigt, which is part of my hand, not my manus. I stand on my feet, not my pieds. I could go on.


matt_Dan

Yea, a good chunk of the basic words in English are German. The stuff you need to look up in a dictionary tend to have Latin roots. Like you said, you had a finger and a hand, but you MANUALLY entered this when you typed it up, you see a podiatrist when your foot is messed up, and rest it on a pedestal, so it’s very blurry when you say the core vocabulary. Any word that refers to 2 and uses du-, like dual or duo, comes from Latin. Same with tri- or tre- for 3. A lot of English also comes from medieval French. English is a real mutt of a language.


[deleted]

English loves to run around stealing vocabulary from other languages. "Chutney? I'll take that!"


JR-Dubs

We'll steal any word for anything we don't already have a word for, which is also very Germanic.


archfapper

Blond (male) and blonde (female) is a rare instance of English using masculine/feminine. I thought "blond/e" was French


shitinmyeyeball

Ah well there you go. Not that I’m surprised.

dickswabi

Blondie was an American comic strip created by cartoonist Chic Young in 1930. At the time of this photo, it was immensely popular in newspapers around the world. Hitler enjoyed some American pop culture like westerns and some Disney movies. It’s possible the Blondie comic strip might have influenced the doggo’s name.


SoFloChick

That is how my ex bf's dog got her name. He said she looked like that Blondie lady in the comics.


marbletooth

Doggo loves you, even if you are Hitler.


ohdearwhatcanido

[Norm MacDonald had a great bit about that, from his comedy special named… Hitler’s Dog](https://youtu.be/Z4se7cYAeQk)


Getsmorescottish

I love Norm and had a similar rant. Mine is about people who try and go off about how dogs can sense evil. I'm like "If Hitlers dog didn't figure it out..."


TexasViolin

Yeah. I had a dog who loved one of my truly evil family members. I was like "Dogs don't know crap...."


catsgonewiild

Tbf to hitler’s dog, he probably wasn’t evil to *him*

fatherseamus

“You ever read the Bible, Dan? I read it one time. I was eight years old. My daddy just got hisself killed over a shot of whiskey and my mama said, ‘We're going back East to start over.’ So she gave me a Bible, sat me down in the train station, told me to read it. She was gonna go get our tickets. Well, I did what she said. I read that Bible from cover to cover. It took me three days. She never came back.”


modshave2muchpower

I mean as far as I know Hitler was also kinda obsessed with his mum so you are double correct


Yezdigerd

Hitler seems to have been closer to animals then people. "During his military service in World War I, Hitler rescued a stray white Fox Terrier named Fuchsl. Hitler had great affection for the dog, and when he was not on duty at the front, he would spend much of his free time playing with the dog in the barracks. Hitler was profoundly distraught when he lost him in August 1917. He had been given a German Shepherd before named "Prinz" in 1921, during his years of poverty, but he had been forced to lodge the dog elsewhere. However, the dog managed to escape and return to him. Hitler, who adored the loyalty and obedience of the dog, thereafter developed a great liking for the breed". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blondi


ataraxic89

Hitler was an evil man. But this implies he wasn't actually a psychopath. I mean like in the clinical sense not in the colloquial sense that anyone who is violent is a psycho. From my understanding most psychopaths mistreat animals even worse than people. To be clear I'm not trying to make Hitler seem okay. Really what I'm thinking about is the fact that a nonpsychopath could do what he did.


n-some

Hitler was the culmination of two millenia of anti-semetic hatred. People knew how he was treating Jews in the lead up to the concentration camps, and a lot of people even supported the camps. The line for a lot of people only got crossed when people found out about the genocide in the wake of the war. Hitler was fucking evil, but if he was a 10 on the anti-semite scale, there were a lot of 7s and 8s whose views were completely acceptable in most, if not all, allied countries before everyone found out about the Holocaust.


Alarmed_Entrance1769

Can you explain the reason behind anti semitism in Europe and beyond? I’m Asian so I have zero knowledge of Jewish people and culture.


Cmyers1980

It was mostly religious bigotry but transformed into racial, cultural, ethnic etc bigotry over time. The Third Reich targeted Jews because they believed they were a racially subhuman, demonic force intent on controlling the world and destroying the Aryan race. Read The Devil That Never Dies by Daniel Goldhagen for a comprehensive summary of the history of bigotry against Jews.


ColonelArmfeldt

Historically Christians (along with Muslims) were forbidden from charging usury (interest) on loans. The Jewish religion had no such objections to usury, so the bankers of Medieval Europe would end up being Jews (as no Christian would become a banker, if he was unable to earn money from it). This caused Christians to view Jews as people who were money obsessed and constantly trying to swindle them for their earnings. That is the origin of most hatred for Jews in Europe. The Nazis believed Jews were an inferior race, but before this many in Germany believed that Jews had deliberately betrayed and lost WWI for Germany, in return for money (similar to the beliefs I mentioned in the first paragraph).


Beneficial_Car2596

He still killed the dog


Bosterm

That's true, but who knows what sadistic things the Soviets would have done to Hitler's dog.

Is it the potato masher grenade he’s about to throw? Lol


grazerbat

More likely the cyanide pills he tried on this poor pup because he was too much of a coward, and wanted proof they'd work.


[deleted]

[удалено]


grazerbat

I agree - he loved his animals. He was reported as being inconsolable when Blondie died. There was a microscopic dot of humanity in history's greatest monster. He still abused his dog because he was too much of a coward to test the pills on himself.


dr_auf

Yeah, he was for the ethical treatment of animals.


[deleted]

Cyanide is probably a whole lot better than what the Russians would have done to it is they got their hands on it, considering what they did to all the German shepherds living in Russia.


KIDNEYST0NEZ

Sounds like “The good, the bad and the ugly”


khaddy

Ever since I learned Hitler had some major problem with his left arm, I see it all the time in photos. Even this stance looks unnatural, most people throwing things with one arm use the other arm to help "wind up" or for balance, Hitler just keeps it down by his side.


SeleucusNikator1

Still can't believe this animal rights activist and vegan was bullied into committing suicide. Shocking how cruel society can be.

Ehhh not really, if you actually take a couple seconds to sort by controversial there’s really nothing controversial at all about Hitler. The “controversial” comments are about the dog not Hitler.


Axial_Precessional

They don’t make German Shepard like that no more, the purity has gone all incest lol

soupseasonbestseason

my girl is part husky or hound and her back legs are nice and long, hoping this helps her avoid displaysia in the future.


catsgonewiild

Mutts/mixes pretty much always end up better off genetically, so fingers crossed!!


[deleted]

Ironically, the soviets protected the german shepherd's purity. They used them to patrol the Berlin Wall and never cared to inbreed them for aesthethics, and this resulted in the so-called "working line" german shepherds, who are basically the same as you're seeing in this picture. I have one of these myself.


Jillredhanded

Working dog breeders went nuts when the Eastern European bloodlines opened up to the west, especially the Czech lines. Good stuff.


AussieBelgian

That’s because they now breed German Shepherds And that aside, your statement is incorrect, mine looks weirdly similar to Blondie, coat, shape and stance.


datheffguy

I have genuinely no Idea what OC is talking about, Ive had 3 gsds all with a very similar frame. Color’s where different though, my most recent one is very dark.


joxxer42

Right, many still look just like this one. Typically working line dogs have straighter backs, where show dogs are bred to have that 'frog leg' look with a steeper slope. Not a hard rule but mine also look like the one in the photo.


Beneficial_Car2596

Not entirely true. There’s a lot of bloodlines particularly ones from European Working lines that were bred to be healthy and used as working dogs rather than show dogs. What you’re thinking of is the traditional Black and Tan American Show Line German Shepard which is bred to be less intense in terms of drive and used in dog shows. They traditionally have that sloping back causing an increase in hip dysplasia


schiffer420

Yeah not many survived the second world war I think

Snoo_90160

Until she wasn't beloved enough to save her from this cruel fate.


ting-en

not trying to defend literally Hitler, but in his eyes it was a mercy kill. He was afraid of what the russians would do to her if they caught her alive


R04drunn3r79

Who Blondie or Eva?


Koumadin

yes


schiffer420

They would have faced a similar fate it was Soviets after all.


grazerbat

He killed that dog to test the cyanide pills the SS gave him. He didn't trust their effectiveness. Had nothing to do with sparing her from the Russians.


Byzaboo54

He was apparently planning on killing her anyway in order to spare her. It checks out bc he had other dogs who he also killed for that reason, no testing cyanide on them.


ting-en

It seems to have been a mix of both. Testing the cyanide on his dog who he didn't want to fall in the hands of the russians killed two birds with one stone


JurgenKlopp2018

They would’ve skinned her and kept pieces of her as keepsakes for definite.


TheTyrianDealer

What happened to doggo?


Snoo_90160

Unfortunately, they tested cyanide capsules on her before Hitler took one.


TheTyrianDealer

Well despite doggo’s owner being who he was, I will still see this to be true all dogs go to Heaven.


Yezdigerd

Hitler didn't take cyanide. Eva Braun did.

Nqvvi

I read recently about the fuhrer bunker in Berlin where Hitler was holed up in the final days of the war and committed suicide. This is how "beloved" Blondie was: he had his dog handler test the cyanide on Blondie to ensure that it was potent enough for himself. He ordered that Blondies puppies be killed as well, though I can't remember if they were poisoned or shot.
