In a live talk with X owner Elon Musk, Alternative for Germany chancellor candidate Alice Weidel claimed that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler was not "right-wing," but a communist instead. Historians vehemently disagree.
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. This statement was made in the context of criticizing the current German government's policies. 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.
