Elon Musk claims Hitler was a far-left socialist because the Nazi Party had "socialist" in its name.
By that logic, North Korea is a democracy because its official name is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Hitler was a far-right fascist who imprisoned and murdered socialists, communists and trade unionists. He banned left-wing parties, destroyed independent unions and worked with German industrialists.
The Nazis used the word "socialist" as propaganda, partly because socialism and communism were popular among German workers at the time, and they wanted to attract those voters.
Welfare queen Elon thinks political ideology is determined by branding.
@elonmusk How far up Putin's ass can one man be?
He knows zero about Ukraine and now helping Russians kill Ukrainian families.
What a piece of garbage.
In 1941, before Pearl Harbor, a young American soldier named Lewis Millett got tired of waiting for his country to fight the Nazis.
So he deserted. He slipped across the border and joined the Canadian army to go fight Hitler.
When the US entered the war, he transferred back. The Army convicted him of desertion, fined him $52, and then later made him an officer. He won a Silver Star in World War II.
On February 7, 1951, Captain Lewis Millett was commanding Company E, 27th Infantry, near Soam-ni, Korea, when his men were pinned down below a hill held by Chinese troops.
He ordered his men to fix bayonets.
Then he charged up the hill at the front of them, yelling, throwing grenades, and fighting hand to hand. He was hit by grenade fragments and refused to be evacuated until the hill was taken.
The Chinese broke and ran.
It's remembered as the last major bayonet charge by American troops. A military historian later counted dozens of enemy dead on the hill, many killed by bayonets.
Millett received the Medal of Honor. He went on to serve in Vietnam and retired as a colonel.
The man once convicted of deserting his army ended up with its highest award for valor.
"Mother Who Jumped from the Train – Czechoslovakia, 1943. A Jewish mother on a transport train to Auschwitz broke a window and pushed her young daughter out into the snow as the train slowed on a bend. She kissed her once and whispered, “Run.” The girl landed in a ditch, bruised but alive, as the train roared away.
Villagers found her and kept her hidden until the war’s end. She never saw her mother again, but for the rest of her life, she told people: “My mother gave me my life twice—once at birth, and once on that train.”
