In the tantalizing thread [Is it okay to tell a stranger they look like someone famous?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=553307) the issue has come up that one should refrain from pointing out that someone has a very strong resemblance to someone else that would be less than flattering. With that as a premise, and reviving a theme we had some time ago with “Who does this guy look like?” where some random image was posted and we all tried to decide which celebrity that picture most resembled, let’s see if we can find an internet image that is Adolf Hitler incarnate. It ought to go without saying that pictures of Hitler himself ought to be off limits for the purpose at hand. ---

Nothing against the man, but sometimes it looks like David Axlerod is trying to look like Hitler. Not a dead-ringer, but the haircut and moustache combo puts him in the territory.

Bruno Ganz made a convincing Hitler in the movie that all those YouTube takeoffs are based on. Even Alec Guinness. ---

I hadn’t been to that website in about ten years (it may even be a new site now). I of course had to buy the tee shirt “The Furred Reich”. Two of them. You owe me fifty bucks 🙂
