Would WW II have ended differently if Adolph Hitler's first name was Skippy?

It would have ended the same, but peanut butter would taste different.

He wd have forgotten all about becoming a Fuhrer if he cd have just gotten laid. I think that's also the problem with all the Arabs who want to become martyrs. The imams know what they're doing when they promise them 72 virgins. BTW where are they getting all these virgins from up there in the garden?

Or if he were born a couple of generations later perhaps Sky Hitler, or Fern Hitler... Moonbeam Hitler. Probably would have made him all the more of a nutbag.

I've always find it fasinating that your never hear from any of the other Hitler family members. I'm sure he had aunties, uncles, cousins, etc. Where did they all go to? I'm sure many of them changed their name. But what about the not-directly-related to Hitler people? It's a good thing he wasn't a Gonzales, half of the mexicans would have to change their surnames.

And do you run into any modern day Goebbels, Goerings, Eichmanns, or Himmlers?

... or, what if their uniforms were pink... and instead of a swastika on their arms, they had a purple elephant?
I'm certain the war would never have gotten off it's feet.

Stalin would have just started a few more years later.

I seriously doubt it.

As reported in Peter Townsend’s book, “Duel of Eagles”, a week before the invasion of Poland, “Hitler worked himself into a frenzy as he exhorted his commanders: ‘No shrinking back from anything... A life-and-death struggle... I shall give a propagandist reason for starting the war–never mind whether it is plausible or not... Close your hearts to pity! Act brutally!... The stronger man is right...’”
He told the British Ambassador the next day, “I am fifty years old; I prefer war now to when I shall be fifty-five.”
So, I guess “Skippy” Hitler, that sensitive artist type who neither drank nor smoked, the painter of serene landscape scenes who dearly loved his mother, had his mind made up. No matter what name he went by, it was WAR!
If you do find yourself under fire, just be glad you don't bear the Egyptian Air Force insignia on your uniform... Posted by Michael Boone (Member # 308) on :
