"He was neither white or very aryan since he was a Jew."

Ok. Lars. Point by point:  Hitler was white. Even if he were a jew, he'd be white. Only Black African Jews are classified as non-white.  And the claim that Hitler was a jew comes from the same origins as the "Schickelgrüber" joke. Hitler's father was a bastard, and his paternal origins unknown. His step-father, whose name was Hitler is often presumed to be the real father, but there is still an uncertainty. 

So, in an effort to blame the Holocaust on the jews, Hitler was declared a Jew. Big Surprise.  But Hitler is probably the most thoroughly examined historical figure ever, and serious, credible historians have found no compelling, uncontroverted evidence that Hitler was a Jew.  Of course I know there was a rumor, most people who have scratched the surface of that material do, but no serious historians consider it likely.

The only reason it won't die, is that everyone knows Hitler's father was a bastard, so there's no way to prove Hitler's real grandfather wasn't a Jew. Just like we can't prove he wasn't Abraham Lincoln.  Or Saddam Hussein using a time-machine.

So don't go spreading that like it's a fact. Lars. It's very insensitive.

The irony here is that the internet SHOULD have made it EASIER for
people to make such decisions, since a few clicks and strokes of the
keyboard can carry them to all sorts of information sites, and conflicting
positions can be weighed one against the other until a personal
consensus is formed.

Alas, it seems instead to have created a mentality of "one stop shopping",
which is precisely what makes Wikipedia so criminally dangerous.

According to Nazis weird clasiifications a Jew is not white. I don't like any classifaications, what do you refer to when you say classified as?

And there is no need to. Jewism is inherited on the mother's side. Since Hitler's grandmother on his mother's side was 100 percent Jewish it made Hitler a Jew, or if you prefer 1/4 of a Jew, but there is no such thing, so it makes him a Jew.

"what do you refer to when you say classified as?"

In general, modern usage of the word "white" as a racial classification, all the major groups of Jews:  the Sephardim, the Ashkenazi and the Mizrahi are all white.  The only exception being those jews who are Black and part of the Black/African Jewish population groups in e.g. Ethiopia and some farther south in Africa.

"Since Hitler's grandmother on his mother's side was 100 percent Jewish it made Hitler a Jew"

Excuse my language, Lars, but where the FUCK do you get this junk from? You might think it's interesting that such an idea exists, but it is not a historical fact.  And furthermore, it is offensive, Lars.  You may not be familiar with its use , but the "Hitler was a self-loathing Jew" meme is a significant part of post WWII anti-semittism.  Especially in the Middle-East.

Why should you give a Jew with syphilis in his brain an "Aryan" heritage he never had? Should we retcon history so he was tall and had blonde hair as well? Within middle-eastern antisemitism they all read Mein Kampf, the same book that you want in universities.

For crying out loud, Lars: Hitler's Grandmother was not Jewish. There are no credible reports of any Jewish descent on either side of Hitler's family. It's just an urban legend that has been throughly investigated and debunked by leading experts on Hitler or the Holocaust. Ian Kershaw investigated it. Simon Wiesenthal investigated it.

There is not a shred of truth to it. In fact Ian Kershaw went so far as to demonstrate that the claims made to substantiate the urban legend of Hitler's jewish parentage were DEMONSTRABLY false. Not just an absence of evidence, but evidence that the claim could not be true.

This is insane, Lars. It's on par with denying the Holocaust. And you have not a shred of evidence behind you.

Mein Kampf is illegal in German and Australia and several other countries, but is readily available in the United States and Canada.

Quite interesting . I didn't know that.

I am not into history or anything, but I was tought, grade 7-9 that Hitler had a Jewish grandmother. The person who said this to the class, was the teacher and he was also the headmaster of the school and he also was the author behind the books we learned from. Those books went to schools all over Sweden and they were checked by the authorities. He was into history, but most of the books he had written were about soicial studies for youngsters (samhällskunskap).

I think it's up TO YOU Brad to educate yourself with the right facts about Adolf Hitler. It's your fault if someone else gives you erroneous information about him.
