          I paid attention in history class. It goes along with correcting other misconceptions. For example, Nazi’s never shaved their heads, like many people might lead you to believe. The Jewish people and prisoners of war were forced to shave their heads in concentration camps. Also, Hitler was not German. Hitler was Austrian, and many of his Nazi’s were of Norse descent, having blond hair and blue eyes. Many people have also speculated that Hitler was part Jewish himself, on his father’s side; harboring a deep resentment towards his own father. I don’t know if that last part was ever proven through dna, but it would be interesting to investigate.

          I know a lot about World War 2 because my grandfathers served in the Army and Navy. My grandmother was also a nurse for the Navy during the war. My family didn’t like Hitler.
