Adolf Hitler nominated to the Peace Prize
Three days after the nomination of Chamberlain the Swedish Parliamentarian and Social Democrat, Erik Brandt, sent a letter to the Nobel Committee nominating the German Chancellor Adolf Hitler to the Peace Prize....

Now he was ulktimately cowed down and later said it was a joke after so many alt-left commies in his counrty threatened to hang him by his toes and make him squeal like a pig! LOL
A nomination means absolutely nothing - https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/
thousands of members of academies, university professors, scientists, previous Nobel Laureates and members of parliamentary assemblies and others, are asked to submit candidates for the Nobel Prizes...
This means that basically any one in a position of power can nominate basically ANYONE for a Nobel Prize. In fact - Kim Jong Il, Saddam Hussein, and Osama Bin Laden have all be 'nominated' by prominent scholarly individuals in their sphere of influence... that does not mean that any of them are promoters of peace and non-violence.
Also - Despite the nomination - Hitler would Never be a Nobel Prize winner...
First off... the nomination was a farce:
Adolf Hitler was nominated once in 1939. Incredulous though it may seem today, the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1939, by a member of the Swedish parliament, an E.G.C. Brandt. Apparently though, Brandt never intended the nomination to be taken seriously. Brandt was to all intents and purposes a dedicated antifascist, and had intended this nomination more as a satiric criticism of the current political debate in Sweden. (At the time, a number of Swedish parliamentarians had nominated then British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin for the Nobel Peace Prize, a nomination which Brandt viewed with great skepticism. ) However, Brandt's satirical intentions were not well received at all and the nomination was swiftly withdrawn in a letter dated 1 February 1939.

secondly - because of the controversy with Carl von Ossietzky - a German Nobel Prize winner whom was awarded the peace prize for exposing Germany's violation of the Treaty of Versailles as they re-armed themselves, and subsequently who was convicted of High Treason for exposing it - Hitler Himself forbade any German from accepting any such commendation in 1936.
