Merkel lived in East Germany.
it's a stretch for me to see Merkel as the reincarnation of Hitler. The fundamental idea for Hitler was Aryan/Germanic racial superiority. That is the opposite of everything Merkel has stood for. What is very clear is that Merkel was deeply connected to the East German communist regime through her father, Horst Kasner. Who was a convert to Protestantism, and of Slavic descent. There was a famous incident when Merkel reacted with disgust at someone waving the German flag. If she is carrying the torch for Hitler, it is certainly not that she is secretly reading "Mein Kampf" at night. She may be carrying on Hitler's legacy in some way, but like Q said "think subgroup." Maybe the neo-paganism that some of the Nazi leaders were into that, reportedly, Hitler was not a huge fan of. Definitely some of the Nazi leaders were into Rosicrucianism and the occult. The lady who was in that video someone found on YouTube denying the holocaust is an example. Ursula Haverbeck. Her husband was involved with the church started by an Austrian theologian/mystic named Steiner.
