Indian business students snap up copies of Mein Kampf

Sales of Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler's autobiography and apologia for his anti-semitism, are soaring in India where business students regard the dictator as a management guru.

I got into a helluva a discussion/argument with my boss on this. He made it VERY clear that he didn't in any way agree with Hitler or share his ideology, but that he thought he was a tremendous manager. We went back and forth for a good while on this one. I even gave him a few books to read, but he hasn't gotten back with me yet.

 

Manager or manipulater?

In todays business world, results mater more than ways and means, so I can see the connection.

He may very well put results over how those results are gained.

Its a simple thing, just two words, but some have got them confused over the years.

Our own fault.

 

Yup, I do not see the manager side at all. I agree with Urgh. Hitler did love to watch his cronies battle each other for a closer position to Hitler.

 

Sounds like Robert Maxwell....you wont have heard of him...but I never put him into the same role as Hitler...but now you put that lot up I can see the leadership comparisons.

 

Isn't that the formula Bank CEOs used........oh my PC faux pas....

 

And now some are implementing step 7.

Management guru? That was Schacht not Hitler. Besides, Hitler put all the money in rearming and just before the economy collapsed he was forced to start the war to get money/slave work force to keep his firm going on.

I am not even sure how much Hitler got money from abroad to loan his rearming campaign, which was of course something he did not mention to the outside world, but he definitely took advantage of the Versailles "guilt" felt by the Western Allied nations.

But to put it short: Hitler did not have any remarkable money extra in budget and anything that he had he put it in rearming. I would not call that a miracle. besides it has been shown that the German living standard was lower in the late 1930´s than early 1930´s but propaganda can make you believe anything.

 

From me who read this book take my advice, forget it. I had a hard time reading that dribble and I will not read his second one not even you payed me.

Better off using it for toilet paper.

 

Maybe the buisness study students need something to help them sleep- I use computer coding textbooks 5 or 6 pages and I am dead to the world.

I take it they are quite heavy? Do you suggest I tap her on the head or just go for the old big bang theory? How long will it buy me to read in solitude?

 

I don't think it is appropriate to give that kind of advice.

 

According to Speer, Hitler was a disorganized, lazy, and unproductive leader.

 

That's in phase with what various interviewees have have said in documentries etc,

wake up for lunch time, have lunch, have a walk, look at a few files have dinner watch a movie or two, time for bed,

sounds like a busness school student-

Yes. Hitler usually woke up at noon or later and spent a lot of time at parties, dinners, and was prone to spend incredible amounts of time giving long, boring monologues. He use of his time and energy was generally wasteful.

He had become complacent and fully detached from reality. While he was a layperson in many subjects, for someone like him to have final say on some of these complicated matters over specialists and experts was quite ridiculous. It was too much responsibility for one man and Hitler didn't seem to realize his human limitations.

 

That was just what I was thinking...

 

Poor old Robert Maxwell the bouncing Czech (cheque) He was so proud of his service fighting against Hitler I wonder if I can find the photo of him standing in front of the Ram Kangaroo tank, get out the way you fat lump I want to see the tank and so proud of his Jewish origins

Now he is compared to Adolf

In military matters Hitler was very "scared of making mistakes" until the battle was won in the west summer 1940. If you consider how scared he was about his panzer thrust being cut ( that making the sichelschnitt operation ), then you cannot really see that happen again during WW2 in my opinion. I suppose that was the phase when he himself "turned himself into war god".
