The Nazi party resurrected Germany's economy in the least efficient, most dramatic way possible because they were the only party that consistently implemented anti-austerity policies and they were also batshit insane.

Adolf Hitler was nominated once in 1939. Incredulous though it may seem today, the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1939

Adolf Hitler was nominated once in 1939. Incredulous though it may seem today, the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1939, by a member of the Swedish parliament, an E.G.C. Brandt. Apparently though, Brandt never intended the nomination to be taken seriously. Brandt was to all intents and purposes a dedicated antifascist, and had intended this nomination more as a satiric criticism of the current political debate in Sweden. (At the time, a number of Swedish parliamentarians had nominated then British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin for the Nobel Peace Prize, a nomination which Brandt viewed with great skepticism. ) However, Brandt's satirical intentions were not well received at all and the nomination was swiftly withdrawn in a letter dated 1 February 1939.

It was an issue of getting people to work. Post wwi, the currency was used as kindling because it was worthless. Facism, bundle of sticks to beat people with, gave a bunch of depressed germans something to do.

It's a war in your mind, bro.

It's all in your head.

This isn't that crazy, if you think about it. You don't award some homeless guy an award for not starting a war, because what the gently caress is he going to do.

But Hitler deserved it for waiting a good decade before trying to burn the world down.
