Hitler didn’t look Aryan, said the article. In addition to lacking an Aryan soul, he lacked the facial features of an Aryan, as his nose looked distinctly Mongolian. This was not a genuine attempt to undermine Hitler by questioning his heritage but satire, mocking the Nazi obsession with racial purity.

You could get away with writing this in Germany — in 1932. But then the Nazis did take control, and they didn’t forget Gerlich. They arrested him and took him to Dachau, where they killed him. They informed his wife of his death by mailing her his bloodstained spectacles.
We just gave you two stories about the Nazis, and there’s a good reason for that. It’s because the Nazis were double bad.
The other reason is, today, with debates over censoring Nazis, some people interpret calls for free speech as Nazi sympathy. So, let’s quickly remember that Nazis have never supported freedom of speech. If you rank everyone in history by how much they support free speech, the Nazis would comfortably tie for last place.
