Misguided TikTokers are using AI to translate Adolf Hitler’s speeches into English – and racking up millions of clicks on the under-fire platform, according to a watchdog media report.

Users have pushed and even celebrated the Nazi leader’s remarks in what is an apparent violation of TikTok’s guidelines that ban “promoting (including any praise, celebration, or sharing of manifesto) or providing material support to … individuals who cause serial or mass violence, or promote hateful ideologies.”

One disturbing clip garnered more than 1 million views before it was squashed, Media Matters reported last week.

The video is of Hitler giving a speech with a slow instrumental beat that suggests the ruthless killer didn’t want to spark a conflict during World War II, that he tried to save the lives of women and children and waited to attack until he had no choice, according to the watchdog report.

The caption attached to the clip states, “Just listen.”

Media Matters detailed other instances where Nazi-themed videos proliferated throughout the social media app.  

Another video — that was also eventually pulled — showed cliffs by the water as another translated speech was played.

It reportedly racked up 270,000 views and another 22,700 likes with some comments including “AH was a good and kind man” and “this changed my views on him.”

An account with more than 20,000 followers and nearly 4 million views of 12 videos with Hitler speeches, an outline of Hitler and text that states, “Growing up is realizing Who the villain Really was.”

TikTok did not return a message seeking comment Tuesday night.

Some users did condemn the Hitler-themed videos, and while some videos were taken down, others remained up following the Media Matters report.

Meanwhile, between September 2 and 3, Sky News found more than 50,000 TikTok posts using speeches from Hitler and his minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels.

And to draw in more users, many of Hitler’s deranged rants were set to well-known music on the platform called Drift Phonk without permission, the outlet reported.

One post showed an image of a Nuremberg Rally with a speech from Hitler that was liked by more than 56,000 users. One comment disgracefully said, “modern society absolutely needs him.”

One artist whose music was repurposed without her knowledge, Pastel Ghost, told Sky News she found it “shocking and deplorable” and was working to find videos where it was used on the site.

The platform’s sound feature makes it harder for the company to identify inappropriate clips when it’s mixed with Nazi-laded content, Sky News reported.

After sending TikTok the hateful videos, a spokesperson told Sky News the content was quickly scrapped for breaking its policies.  

“We regularly train our safety professionals and update our safeguards to detect hateful behavior on an ongoing basis, and we remove 91% of this type of content before it is reported to us,” the spokesperson said.
