News that makes me hope there is a hell
The skull fragment that was supposedly Hitler's turned out to belong to a woman under the age of forty. This means that one of the best known pieces of evidence existing for the idea that he killed himself towards the end of World War Two no longer applies. This also means that peopel are trotting out the "What if he escaped?" theory again. And that is what annoys me beyond belief.
I'm not concerned that the führer might still be alive. I don't think anyone has lived to be 120 yet anyway. It's more that I really liked thinking that in the end, somehow, he got what was coming to him. The idea of him escaping to Argentina and dying of old age is frankly appalling and thinking about it makes me sick.
I'm not normally fond of any form of violence, but Hitler belonged to a select group of humans that probably deserve violent deaths. It's also frustrating when members of this group don't actually get them. This probably makes me hypocritical but in my defense I would also willingly accept them being tried, made to answer for their crimes, found guilty, and forced to spend the rest of their lives in jail as public curiosities. Of course, that unfortunately doesn't happen often.
Anyway, on the off-chance that Hitler didn't die in the bunker and went on to live a long life in hiding, I really hope that there's an afterlife and that he's being punished as we speak. Ideally in some Dante-esque situation where he is strung up and being poked by demons with unspeakable weapons in impolite orifices. I also imagine he's not alone there having such illustrious characters as Stalin and Pol Pot to keep him company and hopefully be subjected to the same treatment.
I like to think that eventually everyone has to answer for what they've done.
