Adolf Hitler (Red Dwarf)

"This vill be ze final push, mine Komrades. Zair resources are poor zair vill ist veek! Ve can crush zem, Ve can grind zem into zer dirt, Ve can chew up zair bodies and spit zem out as if zey are Sauerkraut!"

- Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler is the antagonist from the Red Dwarf episode Meltdown. He is actually just a waxdroid that looks and acts like the real Hitler. He is the leader of Waxdroids from Villains World and speaks in heavy German accent.

He is portrayed by Kenneth Hadley.

History
When the Wax War between the Heroes and Villains begins on the planet Waxworld, Hitler becomes the leader of the bad guys. Under his control, they capture many good guys to melt them down, insert new programs and turn them into villains.

Years later, the Red Dwarf crew travels to the Waxworld by the Matter Paddle, but they split up. Lister and the Cat end up in the war room where Hitler, Hermann Goring and Joseph Goebbels are planning another action against the Heroes. Lister and the Cat attempt the flee by the Matter Paddle, only to end up in the fireplace in the same room where Lister defames the trio to Cat until they are both captured and thrown into the prison.

During the attack of the Heroes under Rimmer on the Third Reich building, Hitler leads the defense while his Villains shoot the good guys from the windows of the building. With help of the minefield, they are able to kill all of them. However, Hitler doesn't know the attack is arranged only to decoy them.

The main part of Rimmer's plan is Queen Victoria who sneaks into the Villains' building with a machine gun and blasts away at them from behind, killing them all. She eventually dies, too, as dying Hitler shoots her before his death. To be sure they are all dead, Kryten is ordered to turn on the thermostat, so they will melt once it hits 100 degrees.

Real-life Hitler
"Ignore him! He's a complete and total nutter! And he's only got one testicle!"

- Lister about Hitler

"Things to remember: Stop milk, pay papers, invade Czechoslovakia."

- From Hitler's diary

The Red Dwarf crew gets in contact with real-life Hilter when Lister enters the moving photo of Nuremberg where Hitler speaks to the crowd from the balcony. Lister tells people not to listen to Hitler, then gives him a finger and even steals his bag before returning from the photo. As the crew look thgough it, they find a pair of manacles attached to a pink bow, sandwich with banana and chips, Hitler's diary and a present by Colonel Von Stauffenberg. Rimmer then calls the mind that Von Stauffenberg tried to assassinate Hitler by putting a bomb in his briefcase. The crew runs away, except Lister who quickly drop-kicks the present into the photo and ducks. The bomb explodes there, but actually doesn't kill Hitler.
