(Its hard to tell, but I think he was voiced by Shearer in the first few seasons. I think his appearance in Moe'N'a Lisa was someone else (Azaria? Wiedergott?) but I haven't seen it in a while) |

Adolf Hitler (20 April 1889 - 30. April 1945) was the supreme dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945. He is seen as responsible for the Second World War and the holocaust. Adolf Hitler was the "Führer" (German for "Leader") of the third Reich and one of the leaders of the axis forces during the second world war. He lives on in popular culture as the prime example of pure evil and a symbol of fascism.
Matt Groening is not very fond of Hitler jokes in The Simpsons, but occasionally he lets a few good ones pass.
