He said ALL the Nazis were possessed. Pope Pius XII back then attempted a "long distance" exorcism which failed. This priest has carried out 30,000 exorcisms in his career. Its like saying, anyone who committed a crime was possessed (the devil made me do it attitude). Do you believe in exorcism? Does it really work in modern day life. Was Hitler & Stalin possessed or just mad mass murderers?

nobody can get possessed by something that's not real.

Not "possessed" in the classic sense of the word. But they sure did do the devil's handiwork!

I believe Hitler was posessed, why? because he opened up the Russian front which destroyed his chances of success. He was at the very least mad, but the ability to do such great things coupled with the willingness to self destruct is a demonic tendancy. Investigate the exorcism of emily rose if you don't believe in posession. I don't believe there are demons everywhere and in everyone but it still happens.

There was definatly some demon action going on there but I would not know for sure if it was true possession.

They are what is known now as sociopaths.Psychology didn't start becoming socially acceptable until the 1970's.Up until that time, other things were listed as causes for what they really were, like 'possessed by the devil'.I think exorcism is a very powerful tool,psychologically.I think that anyone claiming demonic possession has some serious psychological issues, and possibly medical ones as well.

It's very easy to look to a supernatural figure in such a horrible tragedy {tragedies, really, although Stalin and Hitler were cut from the same cloth}. Unfortunately, you can't really make a case for demonic possession in either of them. I can state for a fact that the Catholic Church is extremely careful in what it will label as an unexplainable occurence, something they genuinely regard as demonic possession. Many exorcisms are performed more to bring comfort to the sufferer's family and loved ones. Hitler, I know from research, was on several new drugs {things akin to speed and LSD} and consequently developed mental disorders from their use. Both Stalin and Hitler were warped by the need and possession of power. It'd be great to say that evil overtook them and bent them to its will, but the both of them are really just human beings who were selfish enough to put a country's welfare behind their own. I wish to the heavens it was demonic possession; to know that we're capable of such catastrophes leaves me wanting to stay under my covers for life.

I believed that Satan influenced Hilter, which he could of been possessed at times. Satan hates mankind, He hates the Jews even more. The Nazi's were very much into the occult and the black arts, which opened up for Satan to come in and do his work. If Satan can use someone in high political or social authority, he is definitely going to use them for his will. In this case, Hilter had the decision whether or not to exterminate the Jews. Satan hates the Jews the most, because they are God's chosen people, therefore, I think he influenced Hilter, and yes possessed him. If it wasn't Satan who possessed the person then it was one of Satan's top generals, or high demons.

Hitler was had adoptive parents and was abused from a very young age. He fought in World War 1, and was one of many victims of the infamous "Mustard Gas", and he was thrown in prison once. He just wanted to conquer the world and blow some steam while doing it. I'm not defending him in any way, I hate Hitler, I'm just saying that God cannot mess with free will and therefore cannot posess anyone. if the Devil could posess people, you and I wouldn't be talking to each other. The world wouldn't exist if Satan had the power to control people. Hitler may have been doing Satan's dirty work, "idolizing" him as we do God, but I can't see Satan with his little remote moving Hitler around just like in the Sims.
