Why is there all these comparisons to Hitler when history proves he was a liar?

He said he was a Christian and got support from certain organizations, but he hated them.

He claimed he was a Socialist but his philosophy at the time was more in tune with Fascism which ultimately inspired a lot of the things he did.

He said first he only wanted the Rhineland, liar, said he wished only the Sudentenland, liar... then said Munich Agreement would solve everything, lie!

See a pattern here, the guy lied so much that I reckon only him and his closest allies knew what his true beliefs were, and most of them offed themselves in some ways.

Update:

Two things...

The Rhineland, the Sudetenland and finally Munich Agreement were before WW2.

Secondly 'GOTT MITT UN' on the SS belts buckles, means God is With Us.

Update 2:

Also missing the point, I am saying that his ideological beliefs were harder to pin due to very few things surviving other than Mein Kampf and I expect his ideology changed after that even, so therefore not erase him from history, god no, just realize that for a mass murdering psychopath he was not straight-forward and was in fact very complex.

Pinning his ideology down to one side is asinine and just juvenile.

Update 3:

Ah finally someone who understands, I thought referring to Munich Agreement was enough, as for your point yes you are right, my point is about those who compare everyone under the sun to him, it's rather irritating.

    People compare their enemies to Hitler because it's a good way of making them look and feel bad.

    Yes, he was an inveterate liar. I'm surprised that you didn't mention his fooling

    P.M. Chamberlain at Munich, when he signed a promise for "Peace in our time."

    The fact is though that being a terrible liar was not his biggest offense. He is

    known to have murdered six million European Jews along with large numbers of

    gays, gypsies and socialists.

    He was primarily responsible for the Second World War, in which an estimated

    45 000 000 people died.

    Being a bad liar doesn't compare with that.

    Reminds me of a quote from the Thatcher years -

    'We should never call Thatcher a fascist or a Nazi - doing so is an insult to:

    Hitler's social conscience;

    Goering's modesty; and

    Goebbels' honesty.'

    Wow. Great point. They should totally remove Hitler from the history books because he was such a dirty liar. That'll show him!

    He was a christian

    He did some socialist things, but most of all he was a nationalist

    So he lied during a war, tell me someone who didn't. Our politicians do it all the time
