Nominations from 1901 to 1955, however, have been released in a database.[5] When the past nominations were released it was discovered that Adolf Hitler was nominated in 1939 by Erik Brandt, a member of the Swedish Parliament. Brandt retracted the nomination after a few days.[6] Other infamous nominees included Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini. However, since nomination requires only support from one qualified person (e.g., a history professor), these unusual nominations do not represent the opinions of the Nobel committee itself.One college professor, huh? Jake, it's time to make buddy-buddy with a professor or two. Being a "Nobel Peace Prize Nominee" would add a lot of cred to your campaign. I know I'd fall for it.
