18. Stalin And Adolf Hitler Were Both Nominated For The Nobel Peace Prize
Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin - tyrants responsible for bloody wars and the massacre of tens of millions of people. But also, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin - nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize. Yes, you read correctly. Hitler was nominated once for the award, albeit ironically, in 1938, while Stalin was put forward in both 1945 and 1948. Interesting and bizarre, considering they're not exactly the peace-loving types really, are they?
