Fact check: AfD head called Hitler 'communist.' He was not

The article from MSN discusses a claim made by Tino Chrupalla, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, who inaccurately described Adolf Hitler as a "communist" during a speech.

Fact-checking organizations like dpa and Correctiv have debunked this claim, clarifying that Hitler was not a communist but rather the leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), which was fundamentally opposed to communism. The article highlights the misuse of historical facts for political rhetoric and underscores the importance of accurate historical representation in political discourse.
