    I’m building a ‘Warrior’ line, where I will go back in history from pre-greek days, as far back as I can,” the actor explained. “I’m gonna have famous quotes from warriors of all ilks, including the terrible ones. Hitler was, you know, a demon on steroids, but he had some pretty good one-liners. So everybody from the great ones to the infamous and terrible ones.”

    Ah, creating fake controversy to drum up publicity for your bs, got it.

      Hitler wasn’t a warrior. He was a coward.

        I mean, far be it from me to defend the guy, but he did fight in the first world war. So technically, I suppose you could say he was a warrior. Don’t know if he saw any actual combat though.

          He was wounded by a grenade fragment in 1915 and when the war ended on 11/11/1918, he was in a field hospital, treated for temporary blindness caused by a poison gas attack.

          That said, he spent his war as a “Meldegänger”, a messenger. He was not among those in the trenches at the immediate front and had it relatively easy.

            So someone should have shot the messenger.

              Someone allegedly almost did just that, but spared his life.

      It could be fake controversy, or it could be a fake excuse to sell Hitler junk. Maybe it’s both. Either way, sounds like they’re not a very good person.

        While it’s not a large market, high quality products featuring hitler quotes have a very dedicated and passionate base that you can guarantee a return on.

          Exactly, and if you can portray it as just a coincidence then you can keep selling it without everyone coming against you.

        Technically not correct, you have to undergo exothermic fusion which is not the same.
