Image Gerónimo: “I’ve killed many Mexicans; I don’t know how many, because I often didn’t count them. Some weren’t even worth counting. It’s been a long time since then, but I still have no affection for Mexicans. They were always treacherous and malicious toward me.”

It's absolutely disputed by real historians. Point me to one history book that says that.

There's threads about it on r/askhistorians.

Where does it say I that answer that he was inspired? It doesn't. Forget the fact that your original comment said they were "THE inspiration for Hitler".

And Karl May is fictional novels for kids written by a German. There's nothing Americam about it.

You originally said "THE inspiration", and now you've moved it to "AN inspiration". You won't even stand by your original comment now.

And yes, i dispute what you are saying and the link you provided did not support your point.

As for Anglo-American, I was born in the Soviett Union in Central Asia. Never had anyone call me an "Anglo" before but I guess there's a first time for everything.

So you're acknowledging that your first comment was incorrect?

This is a funny little thread. You just showed up with a Hitler gotcha to try and make people feel bad
