Hitler vs Stalin

[Chris]

The name Hitler has been and will most likely will forever stigmatised with world war 2 and what happened during and near the end of the war. Because of this any connotation with that name will almost always be related to something that happened during that time period.

A lot of people would like to preserve that period of time, only remembering it when they deem themselves able to. There are obviously people who are interested in the psychological makings of the masterminds of WW2 on both sides of the battlefield. But I don't believe they are interested enough to make a username which is related to Hitler per se.

The number of people named Hitler post WW2 has obviously dropped significantly (see graph below) (plaz mean place in ranking).

But there are still people being named Hitler, which obviously shows that the connotation is wearing off.

Naming a character Hitler is never something you should do without forethought about what kind of a personality are other people going to perceive yourself as.

The reason why I personally think that person who named themselves Stalin was able to 'get away with it', is because people simply don't learn about him as much. I was taught a huge amount more about WW2 then soviet Russia.

Without trying to sound rude, I think Stalin's monstrosities have also; dare I say it worn away over time. The news nowadays in Britain have no real reason to report about soviet Russia, WW2 however provides ample amounts of coverage for the waiting audience.
As an example today we were able to see all 133 pictures of the dam busters for the first ever time, which was a very interesting read for anyone interested Here and Here.

Sorry for the essay, was listening to music and got carried away.

Thanks,

Chris.
