Who were the Minions serve from 1933 to 1945?

The laughable rumour that the Minions from Despicable Me served Hitler between 1933 and 1945 has been doing the rounds on social media again.

Thanks to the release of the Minions: The Rise of Gru film, which has also seen the new Gentleminions trend emerge, some have reignited the joke that the little yellow creatures were somehow involved with the Third Reich.

The bizarre rumour has come as it’s canonically true that they always choose to serve the evilest villains in the world at that specific time.

In the 2015 Minions movie – the first spin-off from the Despicable Me franchise – the opening sequence of the film states the Minions served various evil masters serve various masters including T-rex, Vlad Dracula and Napoleon Bonaparte.

It also confirms that between 1812 and 1968, the Minions lived in an icy cave and served no one during that time.

But it hasn’t stopped people from running with the ridiculous rumour. The topic has even been the subject of memes that poke fun at the fact that you should never ask the Minions who they served between 1933 and 1945.

In a post on Reddit, one person used the Never Ask a Woman Her Age meme format the joke about asking Minions who they served during Hitler’s murderous reign.

Despite the creators specifically stating they were cave-dwellers during that period and serving no evil leaders, it is a debate that appears will rumble on within the Minion fandom.

After the release of the film Minions: The Rise of Gru, while most of the fans of the Minions franchise went on a trip to the cinema, few others started a debate regarding their servitude to Hitler, know who did the minions serve from 1933 to 1945 in WW2

This debate all started after a Meme of Minions serving Hitler during 1933-1945 came into existence once again with the release of Minions Movie. Here we’re going to explain the meme in detail.

Minions: Rise of Gru film is a sequel of 2015’ Minions movie and is directed by Kyle Balda, Brad Ableson, and Jonathan del Val. This film exists as the 5th entry in the Minions franchise starring the return of Gru actor Steve Carell.

What’s the Meme?

Did Minions Serve the Hitler in 1933-45 meme refers to the fondness of Minions towards serving the most despicable or loathsome villain of the current time which cue the fans to ask if Minions actually served under Hitler.

In this debate, few believed that Minions would have likely served in Nazi Germany between 1933-45, even though KnowYourMeme page states that this isn’t possible because Minions lived in a cave between 1812 to 1968, so they didn’t serve under anyone during that time.

Although the film franchise has shown from time to time that Minions have served many masters throughout the time before meeting Gru. In this time period they had served under T-Rex, Vlad Dracula and Napolean Bonaparte.

How’re Minions Fans Reacting?

However, you might think it’s a ridiculous meme but the Minions fandom partakes it genuinely and debated over it for a while now.

During the debate, one user asked if Minions served Hitler or Stalin during the mentioned time period. He even suggested that they might have split up and served the both villains.

Another user was adamant that the yellow creatures didn’t serve under Hitler because they were stuck in an icy cave during world war II.

In the 2015’ sequel movie of Minions, the primary plot of the movie revolved around the three main characters of Minions, that is ‘Kevin, Bob, and Stuart’. And in the Rise of Gru again the plot revolved around these three but the maker did try to add a new character.
