The Trouble with Hitler...
...is easy to explain. It’s over exposure in the main. Hitler
this, and that, and of course, not forgetting the ‘Other’. Hitler
gets everywhere these days. It sometimes feels like a Hitler
Renaissance to me. My friends grew up thinking that he, Hitler
was totally cool. The classicist. The reverse futurist. Hitler
had an eye for a fetching uniform. The snazzy gadgets Hitler
had. Panzers. U-boats. V2 rockets. If it weren’t for Hitler
no-one would have heard of Zyklon B. We’d have Warsaw
instead of a Joy Division. And, why – if it wasn’t for Hitler
punk may probably not have happened. Offending the Hitler
in everyone would have been harder. And every little Hitler
would still have it in for us: the deviants who dare say Hitler
was merely human after all.
