Adolf Hitler had a weakness for chocolate cakes! :

World News > London, Aug 24 : A new German movie is all set to break the ruthless dictator like stereotypes associated with Adolf Hitler by showing his softer side.

According to The Telegraph in the movie " The Downfall" Hitler appears as a dreamer who has a weakness for chocolate cake rather than a quest for power.

The movie is a huge shift from the previous tendency in German cinema to show Hitler only as a background figure or a character who does not appear on camera at all.

It tells the story of the last 12 days of Hitler's life in his 25ft-deep bunker in Berlin before he committed suicide on April 30, 1945. (ANI)

I thought it was going to be about Hitler coming out of the closet. He could wear a pink swastika armband and march in parades.

Winter for Poland and France (deep de deep deep)

We're marching to a faster pace

Look out, here comes the master race! (doop de doop doop)

Lets see, Germany's economy is depressed, sluggish, and there are no signs of an upturn. The people are down in the dumps. What they need now is a strong charismatic leader to come tell them how great they are and pull them up. Never hurts to show a softer side of the last time this happened.

At the same time, we have a rising power in Asia. One who is buying up scrap steel and oil, and outstripping its natural resources and will soon be looking beyond its borders for more natural resources to fuel its growing economy.

I think I've read this book before...

I think there is a movement in Germany to 'rehabilitate' Der Fuhrer!

Check out this new edition of 'Mein Kampf':

Already done.

Some guy in Germany tried to make a case for a homosexual Hitler in a pseudo documentary. His professor (who was homosexual not surprisingly) made rather short work of his deductions and conclusions.

Bout the only thing proven was that Hitler had a good boyhood friend who wrote a book about him during the war.

Sure Hitler had Jews put in ovens but it's not like he preheated them first or anything. Wasn't that bad.

He was just warming them up, you know....like muffins.

Everybody likes muffins.

Was it Cardinal Richelieu that said "Never allow the German principalities to unite".
