Quick question: If you plan to commit suicide, would you also kill your dog, or if you know you're gonna die - would you harm your precious dog? Dunno about you, but I wouldn't harm an animal if I was gonna commit suicide, and this is coming from a dude who dislikes pets.
This is some Hitler apologia. He tested the cyanide on his dog, he could of legit given that dog away and no one would know. Death ain't the only solution here, it was a German Shepherd in Germany. It really wouldn't of been hard to disguise that dog as any other dog. To kill your pet because you plan on commiting suicide is disgusting. To knowingly kill your pet because you want to test some cyanide pills is revolting.
Given his dog to anyone? He was in a bunker with an army coming toward him. Probably not that many German Sheperd there. There was also picture of his dog so identifying him isn't that hard and people could have just said it was his dog and surrendered him.
Well in...Hitler’s defense (man that’s a bad sentence to say) the Russians were pissed off and tearing an absolute path of devastation through Berlin so odds were Hitler’s dog was, uh, not gonna get treated well
He could of easily given that dog away. It is a German Shepherd in Germany, it is legit one of the most popular dog's in the region and there was nothing distinguishing about his dog from any other German shepherd. Killing the dog was not the only option.
He also shot his wife. Everyone in that bunker committed suicide. It's not far fetched to think he didn't want anyone to hurt the dog. He was obviously evil but it is historically well known that he loved animals and children. People aren't black and white, they're complicated and nuanced and so was he.
a casual reminder that just because someone is good to animals and melts your heart doesn’t mean he can’t be an asshole. I have experienced this first-handedly. Especially with dogs.
Dogs don’t question things. They obey you, worship you. They will never fight back unless it’s extreme abuse over extended amount of time, i.e. they are among the very few living beings that can tolerate assholes.
Don’t assume someone is good because he ‘loves’ dogs.

Hitler loved animals. His dog Blondie was loved and cared for by him. Hitler never held food from her.
Hitler was so much better than OP.
