   No, it was a German joke, considering the end result of Hitler's   
   works on Germany.  He did manage to destroy Germany, totally,   
   after all (his famous "Nero order" being the last act).   
      
   (For the life of me, I cannot understand anybody admiring him.   
   Apart from certainly ranking in the top three of all mass murderers   
   in history, he is arguably the biggest failure ever, considering   
   what he set out to do and what the result of his actions were,   
   including the growth in power of the Soviet Union and the creation   
   of Israel.  As for his effect on Germany, see above.)
