He was a war hero from WW1 so it was presumably a bit higher than that, but the vibe is there.
Also both the Holocaust numbers and war deaths are wrong so I’m very curious about where exactly 13 million came from, especially considering one of the things Nazi did was militarize law enforcement even more than Germany already did, which was considerable.
I don’t remember him being a war hero, just a veteran. And the number isn’t for the war, it’s “law enforcement”, so, death camps (including the Jews, Slavs, Roma…) and various raids and mass executions all over the occupied territories.
He received the second and first class Iron Crosses, the first class famously on the recommendation of his Jewish officer.
People compare them pretty frequently to the Bronze Star. I don’t think that’s quite right because the award systems are simply different but by all accounts the first class award was a rarity for his rank.
Hitler got the cyanide capsules from Himmler, but he didn’t trust Himmler, and he also doubted the capsules effectiveness. He really didn’t want to be caught alive, especially after hearing the relatively mild treatment Mussolini got… so he had his physician test it first on Blondi.
I still need to watch that movie. Been seeing the memes of his rant about Steiner for 22 years. Few things bring me more joy than watching a very well acted Hitler Mental Breakdown.
Pretty sure thats the one.

Ah, yeah, the iron cross would count, at least for the sake of argument.
Ironically that was the best thing he ever done
Just goes to show that bad people can do good things, and vice versa.
What about Eva Braun?
She committed suicide with a cyanide capsule.
What about his dog

:(
IIRC, in the movie Downfall, some of his men makes it bite down on a cyanide capsule.

You should absolutely give it a watch.
