Was Hitler an insane "madman"? No. Absolutely not. And it's time to explain my stance on this controversial history debate.
YouTube Censors: No, I'm NOT a Nazi, NOT a Fascist, NOT a Marxist, or anything like that. I'm also not the only historian who holds this view. I even quote from historian Ian Kershaw at the end of the video who also thinks Hitler wasn't a 'madman'.

ABOUT TIK 📝
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
