I am not sure, but I doubt it. The strength needed to remove someone's arm is tremendous. Besides, if he was fighting the person, he wouldn't be able to get the leverage to perform this even if he was strong enough.

More plausible is the idea that he did much like the English and French during the middle ages; Draw and Quarter. This process involves tying the victim's arms and legs to four separate horses and then riding the horses in different directions, thereby removing the limbs from the body.

No, first off it is very difficult to do this and second he had better things to do with his time.

OK, you're talking about one of the baddest people the world has ever known. He was born with a chunk of flesh in his fist. Early signs of what was to come. Wherever he went after he became Empire and brought the Mongol hordes together, they jejune he had been there because he left carnage in the form of dead people. He was easy to find if one was crazy enough to seek him out. All one had to do was follow the corpses he left like a trail of bread crumbs. He ripped off limbs and that's not all….

Genghis Khan was no worse than Napoleon or Stalin. Western historians greatly exaggerate Genghis Khan's barbarity because of their prejudices against Asains. If Genghis Khan was a Swedish king and did the same things during his lifetime, he would be lionized, praised and glorified.

Hitler @ 11:37 pm

If I think he does, then I am just imagining, or creating the world in my own preference.
To do something one need strengh, to do big thing one need tremendous strengh.
He has no interest in being cruel.

The French and the English is not a bit more benevolent.
I tasted all pain without losing my peace, why now I failed?
Many imagine cruel things and associate it with person they hate. Why don't they just say "I hate him, so I insult and slander him. The true reason for my hate is just mechanical".
Any one who said that Hitler eats human - is talking about their nightmare, about their imagination, out of stupidity.
May he have better things to do than to stay in a place for hour just to do senseless things.

Whether a person is to be praised or blamed does not depend upon himself, but depends on the subjectivity of the judge.
