It was 70 years ago today that the imprisoned and starved and viciously battered
victims of Hitler and his Nazi thugs were liberated by Soviet troops.
Hitler – the coward, who’d later commit suicide rather than face the music – was
incontrovertibly one of the world’s most brutal and bloodthirsty bastards to ever walk the globe.
Yet, little is it known that he was also a plagiarizer.
The idea of a prison camp – specifically Auschwitz, in Oświęcim, Poland – where Hitler's soldiers
could shoot, hang, poison, mutilate and starve men, women and children en mass was not an idea
Hitler, the bigot, came up with on his own. In fact, the Pulitzer-Prize winning biographer John Toland
wrote that Hitler was inspired in part by the Indian reservation system – a creation of the
United States.
“Hitler's concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he
claimed, to his studies of English and United States history,” Toland wrote in his book, Adolf Hitler:
The Definitive Biography. “
He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the
Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America's
extermination—by starvation and uneven combat—of the red savages who could not be tamed by
captivity.”
