There is photographic, video and contemporary reports of Adolf Hitler being elected into the Socialist Bavarian People's State and the Communist Bavarian Soviet Republic. While historians have acknowledged that this happened, they're reluctant to come to any conclusions regarding it (since it will fundamentally undermine their own narratives). In this video, we're going to dive into the evidence and the debate surrounding this topic. Was Hitler a Communist in 1919? Let's find out.

I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do. This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
