		Hitler traveled to Berlin to visit nationalist groups during the summer of 1921 and in his absence there was an unexpected revolt among the DAP leadership in Munich.
		Hitler sent troops to support Franco and Spain served as a testing ground for Germany's new armed forces and their methods, including the bombing of undefended towns such as Guernica, which was destroyed by the Luftwaffe in April 1937, prompting Pablo Picasso's famous eponymous painting (see Guernica).
		Hitler's declaration of war against the United States on December 11, 1941, (which arguably was called for by Germany's treaty with Japan) set him against a coalition that included the world's largest empire (the British Empire), the world's greatest industrial and financial power (the USA), and the world's largest army (the Soviet Union).

	Springtime for Hitler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A fictional play in Mel Brooks' The Producers, Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp With Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden is a musical about Adolf Hitler written by fictional Nazi Franz Liebkind.
		Accompanied by dancing stormtroopers who at one point form a Busby Berkeley-style swastika, the play immediately horrifies everyone in the audience except the author, Franz Liebkind, played by Kenneth Mars, and one lone viewer who breaks into applause—and is pummelled by other disgusted theatregoers.
		Franz was originally chosen by Max to play Hitler, but due to an unfortunate accident after the Good Luck song when he broke his leg (the irony here is that the term 'break a leg' is used instead of 'good luck' on Broadway), Max asked Roger to play Hitler.

	Reductio ad Hitlerum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The reductio ad Hitlerum fallacy is of the form "Adolf Hitler or the Nazi party supported X; therefore X must be evil".
		The fallacious nature of this argument is best illustrated by identifying "X" as something that Adolf Hitler or his supporters did promote but which is not considered evil — for example, X = "promoting expressways", X = "wearing khakis", or X = "painting watercolors".
		Those policies advocated by Hitler and his party that are generally considered evil can all be condemned on other logically solid grounds.

		Hitler decided to use Ludendorff as a front in an attempt to seize power in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, later known as the "Beer Hall Putsch" of November 8 1923, when the Nazis marched from a beerhall to the Bavarian War Ministry, intending to overthrow Bavaria's right-wing separatist government and then march on Berlin.
		Hitler further claims that the Jews are conspiring to keep this master race from rightfully ruling the world, by diluting its racial and cultural purity and by convincing the Aryan to believe in equality rather than superiority and inferiority.
		Hitler's ally Benito Mussolini was overthrown in 1943.

	Foreign Dispatches: Springtime for Hitler in Germany
		Rather than showing Hitler as a malicious dictator, it portrays him as a soft-spoken man with a human side.
		"It is not the first time that they have shown Adolf Hitler on the screen, but it is certainly the first time that they have tried to discover the human touch in that monster," he said.
		I can't help wondering what the point is to making a movie about Hitler that gives him a "human touch", though I suppose I ought to wait and see the thing before I make my mind up one way or another.

	The New York Review of Books: SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER
		Certainly Hitler is no simple mouthpiece or operative for the German capitalist class, but neither is he a classless force in the shaping of the Gemman state.
		Barraclough weakly poses the historical problem of Hitler dialectically: either we have made Hitler appear to be too grandiose a force, or else he has been made to seem too insignificant.
		Hitler's enormous charisma or his stunning insignificance are both interesting and appealing lines of thought, but lead nowhere by themselves, and do not aid in illuminating the roots of German fascism.

		A fictional play in Mel Brooks' The Producers, Springtime for Hitler was a musical about Adolf Hitler.
		In order to ensure the play is a total failure, Max picks the worst director he can find, Roger DeBris, a stereotypical homosexual caricature, and gives the part of Hitler to an alleged hippie who acts more like Elvis than Jerry Garcia and calls himself LSD (his initials).
		Accompanied by dancing stormtroopers who at one point form a dancing swastika, the play is an immediate failure with everyone in the audience except Franz, the author, and one audience member who breaks into applause—and is pummelled by other members of the disgusted audience who are watching the stage with open-mouthed horror.

		In my opinion, any attempt to portray Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and their like as "just flawed human beings" is beneath contempt.
		The only value I see in rehabilitating Hitler is to give Europe's new rabid anti-Semites and neo-Nazis social cover for their new-old extremism.
		Christopher Jones defends his commentary on "Springtime for Hitler": I simply related the facts as they appeared on various TV spots, an article in The Guardian (definitely not Der türmer) and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung one of the three top newspapers in Germany -- their cultural affairs editor Frank Schirrmacher is not a neo-Nazi.

	t r u t h o u t - Paul Krugman \| Springtime for Hitler
		As far as I know, in the past it wasn't considered appropriate for the occupant of the White House to declare that members of the opposition party weren't interested in the nation's security.
		Gramm declared that a proposal to impose a one-time capital gains levy on people who renounce U.S. citizenship in order to avoid paying taxes was "right out of Nazi Germany," even the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, Charles Grassley, objected to the comparison.
		Grassley must have thought better of his objection, since just a few weeks later he decided to use the Hitler analogy himself: "I am sure voters will get their fill of statistics claiming that the Bush tax cut hands out 40 percent of its benefits to the top 1 percent of taxpayers.

	Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Review: "Springtime for Hitler: Irony Lost-and-Found"
		The Producers (1968), and I remember little, but I am impressed with how prophetic Brooks was in predicting the entertainment value of fascism. Springtime for Hitler predicted the advent of Evita.
		Leo Bloom in his dreary accounting office, being terrorized along with his fellow employees by his boss (scene 3), had its funny moments, but after the surprise of the female dancers in his producer-fantasy popping out from between the cubicles wore off and they settled into their song-and-dance routine, I began to be bored.
		Opening Night (scene 3) had its moments, but the performance of Springtime for Hitler (scene 4) itself was the climax of the production—a tawdry, tasteless, brilliantly staged spectacle, without peer.

		Mel Brooks' voice is dubbed in for a singer in "Springtime for Hitler".
		The "Springtime for Hitler" sequences were filmed at Broadway's Playhouse Theater (torn down in 1969), whose marquee can be glimpsed momentarily.
		After Brooks completed the picture, he was told by Executive Producer Joseph E. Levine that the film, which was then called "Springtime for Hitler", would not be released; Levine thought it was in poor taste and not very funny.

	The New York Review of Books: SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER
		In my article cited by Barraclough, I argued that Hitler's mother cannot have escaped fatal poisoning from a given treatment applied to her by a Jewish doctor in her last weeks of life and that Hitler's experience of her agony was the unconscious source of his deadly hate for the Jews.
		Nicholson's purpose is to suggest that "Hitler's enormous charisma" and other aspects of his personality "lead nowhere by themselves," I am in full agreement.
		As for the question of Hitler's "classlessness," the description is evidently relative and has to be seen in terms of Germany's social stratification at the time.

	Springtime for Hitler
		However it later became politically expedient to foist responsibility for the entire fiasco of the West's response to Hitler's aggression on to the narrow shoulders of Neville Chamberlain.
		The source of much of Hitler's political appeal - and the topic of most of his stump speeches before coming to power - was the spinelessness of the Weimer politicians in kowtowing to the Versailles Treaty, and the need for a strong leader who would stand up to the allies.
		One minute, Hitler is a singular manifestation of unique and unparalleled evil to which nothing should ever be compared, lest the uniqueness of his atrocities be minimized.

	Springtime for Hitler - Israel Shamir
		While Broadway successfully hosts a musical comedy Springtime for Hitler, a prominent Californian newspaper published a revisionist article, attempting to reverse the accepted version of Nazi Germany and justify the persecution of its Jews.
		By subterfuge, he infers that German Jews in 1932 enjoyed full protection of the army under their command, while the Germans were not allowed to bear arms.
		This outrageous description of Weimar Germany and its Jews is too fantastic for any reader, and Ms Lipstadt, the scourge of deniers, would do well to investigate this writer and his attempt to poison American public opinion.

		"Springtime for Hitler" is the name of the play, and it is about as funny as satirical comedy comes.

		A theatre company has expressed a keen interest in staging the hit Broadway show in Germany, and theatregoers are being flown from the capital to New York next month to see if they find the musical entertaining or offensive.
		The Producers is the stage version of Brooks’s Oscar-winning 1968 film and centres on the has-been producer Max Bialystock and his accountant, Leo Bloom, who set out to make a fortune by creating the world’s worst musical.
		They come up with Springtime For Hitler, a concept so tasteless it should be a sure-fire flop.

		For the record, Robert McIntyre of Citizens for Tax Justice — the original source of that 40 percent estimate — is no Adolf Hitler.

		The Jewish world is not up in arms about the story's making light of the Holocaust and Hitler using the tragedy for laughs.
		This despite the story's show-within-a-show, "Springtime for Hitler," an absurb and hilarious musical about The Fuhrer himself.

		If you get the History Channel, you've probably seen numerous documentaries about Adolf Hitler and his band of sociopathic goons.
		And perhaps you've idly wondered what it might have been like to live in that time, as a society rife with decadence and political instability lurched toward an obscene romance with fascism.
		And even though the first-act pacing goes a little slack, the show's breathtaking ending will drive home -- better than 100 hours of historical Nazi footage ever could -- the stark terror that can appear at the flick of a switch.

		Lets face it if Hitler had said national socialism was a revelation from god and he had rephrased mein kampf so the author was called god not Hilter ALOT (millions) more people would be following that religion today.

		As Harvey and Bob Weinstein gazed at the surging crowd, my mind flashed to the moment in the film when Max Bialystock adds the icing to the disaster cake he thinks he's baked with "Springtime for Hitler." The producer hands the New York Times critic his tickets with a hundred-dollar bill wrapped around them.
		On the walls are posters for such Broadway disasters as "South Passaic," "Katz" and "Maim." The table centerpieces include framed Playbills from shows such as "She Schtupps to Conquer," "A Streetcar Named Murray" and the "Springtime for Hitler" program, with a litho of the Führer surrounded with flower petals.
		And as I ambled down the street the tune just crept into my mind and before too long I was singing "Springtime for Hitler." But as I reflected on the success of the 75-year-young Melvin Brooks (né Kaminsky) I discovered myself singing "Springtime for Melvin," and I found myself marching to a faster pace...
