I'm not surprised really, children these days think Hitler was a football coach.

You mean he really wasn't a football coach?

 

FUCKKKKKKKKK:crybad:

 

 

To think I spent all these years believing what I'd been taught about Hitler.

"Given a choice of answers, 77 percent of the children aged 9-15 recognised Hitler as leader of the Nazi party, but 13.5 percent thought he invented gravity in 1650 and seven percent thought he coached Germany's football team."

INVENTED GRAVITY? omg.

 

"While 85 percent knew what the Holocaust was, six percent thought it was the celebration at the end of the war. Auschwitz was correctly identified by 70 percent -- but 15 percent thought it was a WWII based theme park."

A CELEBRATION? A WWII BASED THEME PARK?!

Seriously, children these days need their 'eads banging together.
