Hi, Just wondering who would win in a hand to hand fight between Hitler and Stalin. We'll go with circa 1941. I note that Hitler was a lot younger, but Stalin was in a much greater weight class.
Depends on when. Hitler was about 10 years younger, had been a good soldier in WWI and seemed a naturally brave man in his several encounters with violent political rivals, so up until 1942 I give him the edge. After that the drugs and possible Parkinson's takes over. He was a shadow of himself by 1944 while the war only seemed to make Stalin stronger. (except at first, when it seems to have nearly killed him)
Stalin. Hitler would blow a gasket when Stalin started making fun of his moustache . "My daughter can grow a better moustache "
Stalin was a lifelong smoker, while Hitler was not. That alone gives Hitler advantage because he wouldn’t have to catch his breath after each movement.
