Hitler admits to the Holocaust.

Lets imagine that on the 1st of Jan 1942, Hitler has a little to much to drink beofre one of his speeches.
And as such during his speech he admits to the full details of the Holocaust, what would the result of this be?
 
I don't think Hitler drank. Perhaps the outcome would be akin to Reagan's 'outlawing the Russians, bombing begins in 5 minutes' and covered up by the regime. If they admitted it, would it be believed? As an act it is beyond human comprehension.
 
Once when Hitler was a young man, he got drunk, but vowed never to do it again. And he kept his word. As Fuhrer he never drank at all. And it's hard to believe someone of such oratorical and political skill would give a speech while inebriated, even if he did. This is ASBish.
Btw, in January 1942, the holocaust hadn't yet gotten very far, though it would that year. If by some ASB he divulged info about it, it would mostly be just Wannsee plans not actual deeds.
 
Hitler didn't drink but he was often drugged up on all sorts of stuff including cocain and meth, perhaps that could trigger som ramblings. I dunno.
 
This is denounced as the Fuhrer being forced to give such a speech from Judeo-Bolshevik pressure or something along those lines.

Why? This is 1942 and if anyone said "Now that's just not cricket!" then this person and their family would probably be dragged off to 'have a chat' with the Gestapo. They might even come out of it alive. This is Nazi Germany after all, totalitarian state and all that goes with it and a LOT more. So if Hitler goes and finally says in clear language "We are going to exterminate and eradicate the jews, not from our sphere of influence, but from our very planet! Germany will not cease until ALL traces of the Jew have been expunged from the Earth!"

Because lets be honest, he and his cronies had been pretty much saying the same damn thing from the pulpit, just in political language (see 'final solution' which was basically 'kill them all' but said in a political way).

There will be LOTS of Sieg heils and salutes and in the West there would people saying that he was crazy or something, but thats about it. If you spoke out against this then you'd be LUCKY to be shot if the Gestapo and Friends wanted you dead. After all, that's far too quick for people like that.

I was referring to the post-war world in my original comment.

As regards Hitler's drinking, Hitler did drink on occasion. After Stalingrad he would have a glass of beer before going to bed at night to settle him, until he discovered he was putting on weight. He also occasionally drank a watered down wine. And according to one documentary he drank champagne when he heard the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor.

Well in that case, then even more German guilt, very much a case of 'never again!' But beyond that, I'm not sure what you're asking really. The rest of the worlds disgust at the Holocaust would probably be about the same, probably to a somewhat greater degree, especially once the camps are found and liberated, but what is it you're asking for? The world to be more horrified? That would happen, are you asking for retribution against Germany? The..err..thingy...Montegeau plan to be enacted as retaliation? I'm honestly not sure about what this thread is about. Hitler had been declaring his intentions for decades, but no one belived that he was that crazy to actually carry out this threat and it remained that way in the public eye up until the camps were found and freed and evidence compiled.

Are you expecting the Germans to rise up? its a totalitarian state, if people even tried it they'd be gunned down or dragged away in the night never to be seen again.

It would be nice to not have to hear the dozens of "Holohoax" comments on everything related to history or modern day Nazism
 
I'd say that Mein Kampf was pretty much an admission.

Even before Mein Kampf, Hitler admitted he wanted to eliminate the Jews:

"An antisemitism based on purely emotional grounds will find its ultimate expression in the form of the pogrom. An antisemitism based on reason, however, must lead to systematic legal combating and elimination of the privileges of the Jews, that which distinguishes the Jews from the other aliens who live among us (an Aliens Law). The ultimate objective must, however, be the irrevocable removal of the Jews in general."
- Adolf Hitler, letter to Adolf Gemlich, 1919

"Once I really am in power, my first and foremost task will be the annihilation of the Jews. As soon as I have the power to do so, I will have gallows built in rows—at the Marienplatz in Munich, for example—as many as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged indiscriminately, and they will remain hanging until they stink; they will hang there as long as the principles of hygiene permit. As soon as they have been untied, the next batch will be strung up, and so on down the line, until the last Jew in Munich has been exterminated. Other cities will follow suit, precisely in this fashion, until all Germany has been completely cleansed of Jews."
- Adolf Hitler, statement to Josef Hell, 1922
 
Hahahaha, they will just deny the existence of Hitler's admission and post more "Holohoax" comments.
It's impossible to reason with the doublethink of genocide and war crimes deniers. They simultaneously believe that the atrocities didn't happen, and also believe that the atrocities were justified or the victims deserved it. Apologists for stalinism exhibit the same behavior, they'll claim that the holodomor didn't happen and then switch to "kulaks deserved it" arguments within the same 5 minutes.
