    I think Hitler is said to have killed people in the first world war.

      He was a courier. There are no records and no eyewitness accounts of Hitler ever killing anyone in combat, and he saw very little of it. Hitler himself makes no claims at ever killing an enemy soldier.

      He also dodged the draft in Austria-Hungary so that’s fun.

        Oh thanks for the correction then, even if he did claim it I wouldn’t believe it obviously, I thought he was supposed to have taken a bunch of prisoners at gunpoint but that memory of reading that is from like decades back now so idk.

      There was recently news about Hitler probably murdering his niece in 1931. She supposedly killed herself in his apartment but historians found old archives that apparently suggest that’s not what actually happened.
