'''Adolf Hitler''' was a German politician,  Chancellor of [[Germany]] from 1933 to 1945, and the leader of the {{w|Nazi Party}}.

== History ==
=== Early history ===
[[File:AdolfHitler.jpg|thumb|left|Hitler after losing the war, getting angry at [[Bobo]].]]

In 1927, [[Charles Lindbergh]] threw [[Mr. Burns]]' childhood teddy bear [[Bobo]] into a crowd where it was grabbed by Hitler. In 1936, Hitler was at the [[1936 Berlin Summer Olympics]] where [[Abraham Simpson]] threw a javelin, narrowly missing Hitler and killing an assassin.<ref>"[[Moe'N'a Lisa]]"</ref> Also at the 1935 Olympics, Hitler got annoyed when [[Jesse Owens]] outran his zeppelin.<ref name="New Kids on the Blecch">"[[New Kids on the Blecch]]"</ref> In 1945, when Hitler lost the Second World War he blamed the loss on Bobo and threw the bear away.<ref>"[[Rosebud]]"</ref> 

[[Abraham Simpson]] once came close to assassinating Hitler, but failed because of Mr. Burns hitting his rifle barrel with a tennis ball (or racket) and spoiling his aim.<ref>"[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"]]"</ref>

=== Later history ===
[[File:Adolf Hitler.png|thumb|Hitler in his younger days.]]
Hitler later attended the [[1968 Mexico City Summer Olympics]] where he got annoyed and threw his hat on the floor.<ref name="New Kids on the Blecch"/> When Barney congratulated a worker who had to check which [[Duff]] bottles were not fit for consumption, several disturbing bottles passed by during their chat, including one with the head of Hitler.<ref>"[[Duffless]]"</ref> However, this may not have been Hitler as he was later seen alive when [[Bart]] made phone calls to countries below the equator. Bart coincidentally phoned Hitler, who was apparently spending his old age days somewhere in South America (presumably [[Argentina]]). Hitler missed the call (failing to get to his car phone on time) and was angry as a result. A [[Nazi man|man in lederhosen]] then bicycled by and gave Hitler the Nazi salute.<ref>"[[Bart vs. Australia]]"</ref>

=== Fictional appearances ===
[[File:Adolf Hitler's head.png|thumb|left|Adolf Hitler's head.]]
A cartoon from the 1940s is shown where [[Itchy]] and [[Scratchy]] beat, kick and decapitate him. Then Itchy chops off Scratchy's head and [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] appears, kicking both Hitler and Scratchy in the butt.<ref>"[[Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie]]"</ref>

In a story told by [[Abraham Simpson]], Hitler was with [[Benito Mussolini]] and [[Hermann Göring]] watching Abraham when he was posing as a German cabaret singer.<ref>"[[Whacking Day]]"</ref>

A cut-out of him was seen in the [[Springfield Elementary School]] library, holding ''{{W|Mein Kampf}}'' and the speech bubble saying "Before I was a Nazi leader, I was a Nazi reader".<ref>"[[Revenge Is a Dish Best Served Three Times]]"</ref>

He is also seen in an advert about a [[World War II]] DVD in color and he is seen flying a kite in it.<ref>"[[How Munched Is That Birdie in the Window?]]"</ref>

The ''[[World at War]]'' TV show showed him and his wife [[Eva Braun]].<ref>"[[The Blue and the Gray]]"</ref>

Hitler was also in ''[[The Itchy and Scratchy Show]]'' episode "[[The Cat's Speech]]". He rode over [[Scratchy]] in a steamroller.<ref>"[[The Ten-Per-Cent Solution]]"</ref>

He appeared in the [[Christmas]] film ''[[Hitler's Christmas in Hell]]''.<ref>"[[White Christmas Blues]]"</ref>

=== Mentions ===
When the [[Simpson family]] watched a quiz show on TV the host asked what German ruler is the capital of North Dakota named after. Homer answered Hitler, but [[Patty]] and [[Selma]] said [[Bismarck]], which was right. The contestant on the quiz show also answered right. [[Bart]] was surprised at Homer's answer.<ref>"[[Simpson and Delilah]]"</ref>

When [[Homer]] talked about "dog [[Hell]]" he said that Hitler's dog would be there.<ref>"[[Dog of Death]]"</ref>

[[Dr. Hibbert]] mentions that one in two million people have the "evil gene" and Hitler had it.<ref>"[[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]]"</ref> When [[Homer]] takes the blame for smoking while it was actually [[Patty]] and [[Selma]]'s cigarettes. Patty and Selma's superior shows her anger to Homer by calling him "worse than Hitler."<ref>"[[Homer vs. Patty and Selma]]"</ref> Hitler's car is destroyed by Bart during a carnival. [[Nelson Muntz]] punches Bart and asks him: "That was Hitler's car. What did he ever do to you?"<ref>"[[Bart Carny]]"</ref> Homer sings a song entitled "Hitler Is a Jerk".<ref>"[[Wild Barts Can't Be Broken]]"</ref> When Homer wakes up and thinks he's traveled back in time to 1939 he says "1939! Oh, my God, I've gone back in time! I've got to warn everybody about Hitler -- and get to the ice cream store!".<ref>"[[Make Room for Lisa]]"</ref> Homer thought that [[Lisa]] dreamed about Hitler while she was unconscious.<ref>"[[Little Girl in the Big Ten]]"</ref> When Homer asked [[Moe]] to describe a $100 bill that the family found, which Moe said he lost, Moe said that Hitler's face was on it.<ref>"[[The Regina Monologues]]"</ref>

The Simpsons listen to a radio broadcast that originates from "Hotel Hitler".<ref>"[[Treehouse of Horror XVII]]"</ref>

In Lisa's dream, Hitler is seen in a movie theater which is blown up by [[Marge]].<ref>"[[The Fight Before Christmas]]"</ref>

In "[[Treehouse of Horror XXIV]]", [[Krusty]] as a circus clown says "Seriously folks, I really think we should stop this Hitler guy." and everyone laughs at him. 

[[Troy McClure]] starred in the off-Broadway play ''[[Hitler Doesn't Live Here Anymore]]'' as Adolf.<ref>''[[The Simpsons: Virtual Springfield]]''</ref>
