sure in the old days of people like alexander the great or ceasar it was difficult to maintain control over a large territory or empire. but at the time of hitler with the improvements in communication and travel through automobiles trains and planes as well as improvements in weapons which allow a smaller number of people to control the larger weaponless masses it isnt hard to see the possiblity of hitler keeping an iron fist rule over europe asia and africa. > I believe that Hitler's philosophy was that he and all other germans were the Overman, other caucasions were man, and everyone else was Beast, and must be exterminated. Therefor, Hitler could never have really gained any more power than he already had (unless he order all germans to begin mass breeding, and even then it would be atleast 15 years until his new wave of warriors came) as he was (or planning on eventually) attacking around 89% of the world and alienating himself from about 10%. He was a good leader, but his plan was amazingly flawed. > Lucian
