There have also been raised eyebrows at the very name of the documentary, especially the second part: Blueprint of a Dictator.

Prof King said it wasn't a name she would have chosen, and historian Prof Thomas Weber, who is featured in the programme, told the BBC he was surprised at the title, given they had stressed there is "no dictator gene".

"We should do whatever we can to understand past extremism," Prof Weber believes.

did the dictator gene infect 12 million german army, ignoring volunteer corps in all of europe as well? smh, some twerp will clone hitler probably in not so distant future.

p.s. there is something deeply ironic in trying to trace hitler's shit (or jewishness) to dna though, good bit.

That Trotsky quote about a particle of Hitler being lodged in every disgruntled Petit Bourgeoisie except it's an actual strand of DNA

Did Hitler's genes kill Rosa Luxemburg? Did Hitler's evil chromosomes send German colonizers to Tanzania in 1884 when Hitler was negative five years old? Maybe the preconditions of fascism need more than a single person's DNA but more research is required.
