I kid you not. I know my dictators. Perhaps it had something to do with the Arian implication of 'snow+WHITE'? Who knows.
Truth be told Hitler's taste in movies is one of those things that goes to show how distressingly similar he is to all of us, much as we might wish to make baseless revisionisms within our minds like "Hitler's first sign of badness was when he started eating nails at 8". As a matter of fact, he turned out to even have watched Charlie Chaplin's satire
The Great Dictator twice, with one of his advisers speculating he particularly enjoyed the scene where Hitler and Mussolini engage in rediculous one-upsmanship. If anything, Hitler liked Snow White for the same reasons everyone else likes Snow White, which serves a warning to beware the distressing and barely reconciled mixture of good and evil within us all. For although Hitler was not purely evil, he was evil on all too many of the matters that count.
