Seig heil, mein father

friezaessBelieve it or not, this rant was brought by Hogan's Heros.
As some of my closer friends know, my father is a wannabe Nazi. He doesn't hate Jews or anything, but he absolutley, positivley IDOLISES Adolf Hitler, and has done so since well before I was born.
He keeps reffering to Germany as the master race and all this other bullshit. His side of the family is German, but for God's sake, he's something like third generation Australian, and it's not like his parents or his grandparents were into all that Nazi stuff. Not only that, but seeing as he was only born in 1943, he can't really make the most informed decision.
On his fridge he has pictures of the two people he says he values most- me and dear ol' Fuhrer -_- And of course he has numerous articles and books on the subject, including a book Hitler wrote on his vision. He goes on and on about what a wonderful man Hitler was, and has even taken up learning German to better understand the fellow. For heaven's sake, I knew how to say "Seig Heil" as a small child because of him >_>
I'm suprised I didn't end up being some sort of neo-nazi myself considering Dad's domineering influence. You can imagine how well his and my mother's father's discussions went, considering the latter served under the Australian flad in World War whatever. It goes without saying Dad's attitude towards Hitler left a rather bad taste in my grandfather's mouth.
It's also impossible to try and reason with Dad. If you bring up a good point or try to argue something seriously, he either talks over you or just goes on as though you hadn't said anything. It's one of the most frustrating things in the world. It's not that I don't love my Dad of course, and it's not that he's not a caring person (despite what he did to my mum -_-). It's just... annoying >_>
