whats the fuck is with all the hitler tv?

 

I just picked a random day(today) and did a search for the next 14 days.   I typed hitler into tvguide.com and found like 10 shows that mention hitler.

did the same on stalin found 6

did the same on patton and found lots of shows that had word patton, but only one with that was about general patton and of course it was the movie "patton".

did the same on Churchill and found several matches for the word Churchill only found one that was actually talking about Winston Churchill and that was "the eagle has landed"  a work of fiction.

I am reminded of the onion article that was a fake press release by the history channel saying they benefited from the suffering of the Jewish people, in reference to all the shows they have on hitler.

I am not a historical revisionist or anything. I enjoy watching WW2 documentaries, the world at war is a really good series.  But it seems kinda odd with the increase of the fascist organisations in the world  (the grey wolves, stormfronters, aryan nation to name a few) that cable tv seems to be pandering to them.

Not to say that the shows are favourable to hitler, like this one

"The Hidden Führer: Debating the Enigma of Hitler's Sexuality"

Yes there is alot of evidence that hitler was a male prostitute in Vienna.  I don't know if thats in the documentary but when I saw that I did a little research and found a webpage that talked in detail about it.  Wish I had saved it for here, but oh well, its not really the sorta thing I would bookmark. I am not saying that finding out someone in history was a homosexual is an insult to them but I wager that neo nazi's would.  So I don't really count that show.

But even the world at war, which goes out of its way to interview survivors of the death camps, shows plenty of material that I think would be appealing to neo nazis.  Not that they did it intentionally,  not at all. But these fucks are so warped that seeing nazis in uniform fighting gives them a hard on. Never mind the commentary talking about the how stalingrad was the "mass grave of the wermarch"

I am not for censoring hitler off of tv, by any means, we cant learn from history if we don't know about it. But where are the documentaries on Patton, Churchill, and even a few more stalin.  I am sure they exist, but why are they not on tv?  But here is another question, for instance a show about the eastern front doesn't mention stalin in its description.   What is that about?

It almost seems like they are pandering to people with an interest in hitler.  I know I am not the first person to talk about this. Just thought it needed to be said.
