He still worshipped Hitler even after Hitler sent him to the Eastern Front for making a joke? That is loyalty.

Wow!! Htiler was really a jerk. Too bad the bomb plot didn't succeed.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Joke

All you had to do Strange ...is read the link

During a strategy conference a fly began buzzing around the room, landing on Hitler's shoulder and on the surface of a map several times.
Irritated, Hitler ordered Darges to "dispatch the nuisance". Darges suggested whimsically that, as it was an "airborne pest" the job should go to the Luftwaffe adjutant, Nicolaus von Below.
Enraged, Hitler dismissed Darges on the spot. "You're for the eastern front!" he yelled. And so he was sent into combat.

Quoted from the article:

Right-wing historians have claimed the planning for the murder of six million Jews was carried out by SS chief Heinrich Himmler.

Mainstream historians believe it inconceivable that Hitler did not issue verbal directives about the mass killings

So theres right wing historians, then theres mainstream.

Little by little, a whole era goes into "dead history". Almost gone! Sounds hard to believe, but quite soon the last WW2 combat vets will be counted just like the last WW1 are right now, 4-5 people at the age of 100 The time passes so fast!

Now a little about the media and the journalshists:

"Experts say his account of his time as Hitler's direct link to the SS could discount the claims of revisionists who have tried to claim the German leader knew nothing of the extermination programme. Right-wing historians have claimed the planning for the murder of six million Jews was carried out by SS chief Heinrich Himmler.
Mainstream historians believe it inconceivable that...."

So, according to the journalfashists, there are Mainstream historians, who are Experts. And they are probably center and left, because are opposed to the Right wing historians, who are No experts and are in fact Revisionists. And are wrong. In other words, anything no center/left is wrong, revisionism, not true and of course - lets not forget the word - Nazi, because anything linked to the R-word /revisionism/ is Nazi. Cool

Reguardless of what comes out in his diary there will always be people who will agree and disagree about the holocaust.

What a knee jerk response! We have not heard just what the Joke was....

Well, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say hitler was jerk even if he hadn't overreacted to a joke.....don't you think? I mean, this whole Holocaust thing pretty much sealed his fate as a jerk

I never pictured Old One-ball as having much of a sense of humor anyway.

Inner

As an adjutant, he might have been "close" to Hitler on a daily basis but by no means was he part of the "inner circle."

[LandZack2013]

This reminds me of Col Klink when he got scared of Gestapo.

"Zey could ship me right to zi Russian Front!"

I did not know they really did it like that!

[RadarZ]

If this guy was privy to historically incriminating evidence against AH, its hard to imagine him ratting out "The Boss" as the last act of his life.

[Military]

does anyone know where he was living during his last years? in Germany?

[Pierre]

That was a very good joke. Jeez! The Führer wasn't cool...
