Hitler – a football coach at Auschwitz

The day when the First World War ended, 11 November 1918, is kept in our memory as a reason to celebrate. The Erskine Association decided to make a study, for the anniversary from 2010, in which they should ask the kids from The Great Britain about the characters from The World War II. Said and done, the study was made on 2000 kids, with the ages between nine and 15 years old. The greatest part of them, 77%, knew that Hitler was the leader of the German party. But the others chose to guess the answer.




Hitler – a younger Isaac Newton

More than one of eight children, more exactly 13.5%, believe that Adolf Hitler discovered the concept of gravity in 1650. What luck with that apple that, according to the legend, hit the young Isaac Newton in his head and made him understand that the force of gravity is the same thing with the gravity of the sky!

Isaac Newton truly lived in that century, since 1642 until 1727, but at the age of eight he did not finish his studies and did not begin the period of his discoveries. His first discovery was made in 1665 and it is called the binomial theory.



Hitler – wrong century again

One of eight children thinks that Hitler was the coach of the national football team of Germany. Starting with the year 1908, the coaches Germany had were: Otto Nerz, Sepp Herberger, Helmut Schön, Jupp Derwall, Franz Beckenbauer, Berti Vogts, Erich Ribbeck, Rudi Völler, Jürgen and Joachim Böw. Where should we put Hitler in the list?



Mistakes were made at many questions connected to the World War II. If you handle reading Italian, you should read the entire article with the results at this study. If you don’t speak Italian, you must trust my when I say that the most macabre answer was given at the question: “What is Auschwitz?” 15% of the children think that Auschwitz is a playing ground.
