ONE in 20 British schoolkids thinks war-mongering dictator Adolf Hitler was a German football coach, a shock survey has revealed.
The same number thought the Holocaust was a celebration at the end of the war.
One in six youngsters believed the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp was a theme park - and one in 12 thought the Blitz was a European clean-up operation following World War II.
The embarrassing findings are contained in a poll for the veterans' charity Erskine, which asked 2,000 kids aged nine to 11 about the two world wars.
Twenty-five per cent said they did not think about soldiers who died then, and 40 per cent had no idea when Remembrance Day is.
Erskine chief executive Major Jim Panton said: "Some answers to this poll have shocked us and show we have a part to play, not just in caring for veterans but in educating society.

Interesting.
The same amount probably believe The Sun is a decent source of non-tabloid news, if this was real it'd be on the BBC especially with it getting close to remeberance day.
Incoming shitstorm.

[B]WHAT?[/B]
Geezus fuck what are you people teaching over there?
Sigh, and yet their own grandfathers fought in the very war themselves.
Or, kids are too fucking lazy to ask their grandparents about their past.
Wow. I am British and I have known the bare facts of Hitlers dictatorship since i was about 9 or 10
and this is why you shouldn't fall asleep during History lesson kids.
Lol did they go around the council estates full of jamaican immigrants trying to conduct a fair survey?
So they gave a multiple choice quiz to nine olds who never studied history before and expected this not to happen.

You're a typical trollfaggot.
Of course kids aged 9 to 11 don't know about this stuff, what was this survey supposed to prove? That they didn't have at least a grade 9 education? Well no shit.
I learnt about WWII and Hitler in year 6, so I would have been 10.
It's the Sun, but it's funny nonetheless.
Huzzzar for The Sun!
Interviewing chavs so you don't have to!
lol silly billy britlandishers
This is making me lose faith in England.
I'm sure you'd get the same thing anywhere in the world.
Nobody has a monopoly on the stupid.
I don't see why you cry over this so much. They don't know who hitler was, SO WHAT?
Thing is, its not taught in schools until we are about 15-16.
So if the parents haven't told them then why would they know?
[QUOTE=RichyZ;18220500]you learned about hitler in grade 9? what fucked up school do you go to?[/QUOTE]
People don't learn everything from school silly billy.
Bahaha love it, we should dump the real version and convert to that one.
Lets go and celebrate the holocaust! :smug:
