Personally I think the concept's good, as long as it's not thick on revisionist history like that manga that denied the existence of comfort women. Is it the same guy?
EDIT: It's not, this company's done other works of historical and literary interest like Brothers Karamazov. Good for them. I think it's great if it gets the kids reading primary sources.
I'm curious now. This isn't completely out of left field, either. Tezuka did Adolf in the 80s. I'd only seen it over here recently though.
History in manga form. Nice. I don't know how interesting it could be - MK was a slog. Maybe the art's really good or something.
Oh, incidentally, the best comic I've ever read involving Hitler was probably "New Adventures of Young Hitler "by Grant Morrison. Tasteless. Yes. Absolutely bloody brilliant, too. I recommend it quite highly.

I worked at Tim Hortons almsot ten years ago, and I worked the soup counter. I dressed up as the Soup Nazi, complete with nametag which read "Soup Nazi". Never did I get so many tips in one shift in my life. And odd looks.

When did **** Nazi start to mean that someone was really strict about ****?
Don't remember the Nazis being particularly strict or picky... just totally misguided and evil. It's like calling someone a Grammar Serial Killer. ;-)

Obviously, but his response still made me laugh.

TBH I think it's more to do with how frighteningly efficient and clone-like the Nazis were. Everything had to be perfect. Without question. Fail and you were put to the gulag, or shot, or worse.
Interesting fact: Hitler was a huge fan of Roman history, rightly so. He modelled his armies after them. And the Roman army was the best army in the world for over a hundred years. Etc.
Anyway, that may explain to you why "Spelling Nazi" or "****** Nazi" came into fashion.
