Ok I'll be the one to ask.... Is the bald eagle statue in these photos the same bald eagle that's in American architecture? I know i've seen it in America. Connection maybe?

Or are you just a Nazi groupy and posted these propaganda pictures from the Berlin Olympics because they give you some perverse gratification?
Good questions. This series of pictures portrays more than just the Olympics, they focus on Hitler and his use of spectacle on a massive scale as well as him depicted on a human scale (not to be confused with his humanity). It is important to recall that he was just that...human. To inflate his status is to forget that the atrocities of the Third Reich were concocted and carried out by humans and are repeatable.
Obama? I mention that because of a propensity by the Right...especially the Right...to speak of him in the same light as Hitler and the Nazis. It struck me that these photos put those comments in their proper perspective.
It ain't the same, and as I mentioned elsewhere, neither are the circumstances that created either Hitler or Obama. Find parallels if they support your ideogical inclinations...but to equate the two is...in my humble opinion...nonsense. Not to mention that it trivializes the Nazis.
Finally, no, I am by no means a Nazi groupie. Far from it. These photos are an historical document that attest to scale...for the most part, and they ought to serve as a cautionary note as well as a testament to ideology gone most horribly wrong.
I hope this clarifies things for you.
Whatever it is, these pictures somehow just scared the heck out of me.
think that calling Obama and others like Bush "Hitler" or calling someone a "Nazi" would be a serious non-criminal offense because it uses the same severity of the former to the latter.
That is, how can you compare someone to Hitler when Hitler killed 11 million people?

What utter nonsense. You are exactly the kind of person that trivializes Hitler.
Your sky is falling knee jerk nonsense is not denying ignorance, it's EMBRACING IGNORANCE.
Yeah, we have a Democrat in office, so we are almost like the Nazis! Brilliant thinking there pal! Learn something of what you speak.
Those images are chilling, purely chilling.
I just wonder if today's Nazi's are anywhere nearly as dangerous as the real thing. Let's hope not, no lets pray not.

hey, you can trivialize socialism all you want, but socialism is socialism no matter what face you put on it.
We are entering socialism in America, and it's the same form of government they had. They were the national socialist party, and ours just has the fake label across it. But it's just the same.
Don't be blind.

Oh please! I'm hardly blind, you are uninformed and gullible. A propagandist dream.
So "socialist" Sweden is the same as the Nazis? Great Britain? France?
You just plain don't know your "socialism from a hole in the ground!
Stop getting your info sppon fed from idiots like Sarah Palin.
