At that time Hitler, to entertainists, was a person screaming out loud to be made fun of.
Plus, it's not like people werent making fun of Roosevelt or Churchill...

Re: Hitler wanted Charlie Chaplin dead!
Chaplin made a fiction film but the fiction turned into reality a few years later: he mentionned the invasion of Austria, the Ghettos, the camps etc....

Re: Hitler wanted Charlie Chaplin dead!
It is interesting when you look back at all the little things that the big dictators took seriously
Mussolini, for example, banned the Marx bros. film, "Duck Soup" in Itlay because he considered it to be a personal insult.

Re: Hitler wanted Charlie Chaplin dead!
Really that's interesting? I can't imagine Hitler watching the Great Dictator while having a (non alcohol) beer.

Re: Hitler wanted Charlie Chaplin dead!
You know I had never noticed that, if you hadn't pointed that out I might have missed it... 
The moustache was actually quite common throughout the world at that time, loads of people had them.

Of course if you look at the picture in my signature you can see that style is still favored by the Neo-Nazi gits today LOL

Re: Hitler wanted Charlie Chaplin dead!
Some of his characters (specifically the Tramp) wore that mustache. He did not wear the "Hitler" mustache as regular practice in his daily life and there are ample photographs that indicate this.
