Saw this episode listing in a forum post "Dear History Channel, Will Fact Check for Food!"

Figuring it was probably a post about how everything cannot be attributed to aliens (or secret societies) I read the post for the lols (seriously, History Channel, if you want to keep that moniker QUIT WITH THE ALIEN BULLSHIT!   *ahem* ).  n

Anyway, it was not a complaint about aliens, masons, or the Knights Templar.  But it did list a recent episode summary.  And...um...  I think the term 'great' does not apply to all of these men. There are better word choices.  How about 'powerful positions'...'prominent', 'influential', even 'pivotal' or... in a couple of cases -  'genocidal f&ck#*s!.'

Episode Blurb:

An assassination in Sarajevo sparks a global war. For the next 30 years, deadly fighting rages across Europe, Africa, China and the Pacific.  Hitler. Churchill. De Gaulle. MacArthur. Patton. Stalin. Mussolini. We know them as legends. But they first learn what it will take to rise to greatness as young soldiers, fighting for their lives on the frontlines.

I'd have to agree that Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini are not these days generally described as "great" or "legends". "Homicidal" or "insane" are the words that come to my mind.

About a year ago I watched something that was actually rather interesting on the rise of Mussolini. Interesting and terrifying, as far too much of it sounded far too familiar with some rhetoric on the rise today.
