#WW2 #HistoryFacts #Hitler #CyanideCapsule #TIL
Hey guys, did you know that on April 29, 1945, Hitler had doubts about the cyanide capsules he received? It’s crazy to think about how even in his final moments, he was still worried about his own safety 🤯. So, to make sure the capsules were potent, he actually ordered his doctor to test one on his dog, Blondi, who tragically died as a result 😢. Can you believe that? It’s such a shocking and sad piece of history. #RIPBlondi
This just goes to show how desperate and paranoid Hitler had become towards the end of World War II. It’s wild to think about the extremes he went to in order to ensure his own demise. Let me know in the comments what other shocking history facts you’ve learned recently! #HistoryLesson
Didn’t even bother to do that himself.
What a fucking coward. Just like any other fascist.
blondi was a good dog
Killed a dog on his last day, sounds on brand.
The more I hear about this Hitler fellow the less I care for him.
Bart: Is there a Doggie Hell?
Homer: Well of course, there couldn’t be a heaven if there weren’t a hell.
Bart: Who’s in there?
Homer: Oh, uh Hitler’s dog and that dog Nixon had, what’s his name, um, Chester
Lisa: Checkers.
I was on the fence about this guy…but that’s finally pushed me
Aw snap. I’m going to keep this in my back pocket the next time people argue that sociopaths don’t have an aversion to animals.
“BuT hItLeR hAd a DoG”
Yeah and he fucking killed her on purpose. Damn.
Edit: everyone pointing out the dog would have it bad when the Russians came— you’re right, I can see the perspective.
Hitler still a sociopathic fuckhead.
Hitler prob killed the dog so the Russians wouldn’t torture it to death
So obviously, Hitler sucks and everything, but given how the Soviets acted during the Battle of Berlin and the subsequent occupation, I shudder to think of what the Soviets would have done to Hitler’s dog. This was probably the more humane death.
“Erna Flegel, who met Hitler and worked at the emergency casualty-station in the Reich Chancellery, stated in 2005 that Blondi’s death had affected the people in the bunker more than Eva Braun’s suicide.”
I think it should be noted that Hitler killed Blondie due to the imminent capture of the city by the Soviets, and Hitler did not want Blondie falling into Soviet hands who would’ve made a trophy of her and paraded her around and possibly also torture her. He didn’t just apathetically kill his pet of 4 years just to kill her. Hitler was a huge animal lover and probably passed the most stringent laws surrounding animal welfare such making boiling lobsters and crabs alive illegal and also banning vivisection.
It’s very common for people with personality disorders to hold their relationship with animals in a higher regard than any relationship they have with a human. This is because of the fact that narcissists desperately want to control, and domestic animals capitulate. Hitler dosed his dog because, in his mind, his dog lived for him and thus “No harm, no foul”. They don’t care for others because they feel like they should care, they care because it directly benefits them. Narcissists can die in a fire.
You know, the more I learn about this Hitler guy, the less I like him.
