EDIT: So I'm receiving comments saying things like "It wasn't all Hitler." Or "Germany wasn't the only evil country." News flash, thank you. I only answered what the question asked. If I said good things about Hitler, I would've received more hate, and definitely false reports. So what do you want me to do? There's no way of winning this, is there? If you don't have something nice to say, please don't say it. Thank you for upvoting and reading my answer. :)
編輯:所以我收到了一些評論，比如"不全是希特勒乾的"。或者"德國不是唯一的邪惡國家。""快訊，謝謝。我只是回答了這個問題。如果我說希特勒的好話，我就會收到更多的仇恨，而且肯定是錯誤的報道。你想讓我怎麼做?不可能贏的，是嗎?如果你沒有什麼好話要說，請不要說。謝謝你的支持和閱讀我的答案。:)
EDIT 2: I'm disabling comments. It just seems some people did not bother to read the first edit. Thank you for all the upvotes, I did not know this answer would reach out to so many people. :)
編輯2:我禁用了註釋。似乎只是有些人懶得去讀第一次編輯。謝謝大家的支持，我不知道這個答案會影響這麼多人。:)
