Remove fortune quotes attributed to or providing admiration of Adolf Hitler [pr bin/52735]

It has come to my attention that FreeBSD has removed fortunes quoted from Adolf Hitler a few days ago. I was very surprised that there actually were such quotes! https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision=325781 or

Hi, I thought a bit about this after seeing FreeBSD remove the database. I do agree there are offensive things, but it would be nice not to have a daily debate for all of eternity about whether every single quote is offensive enough to be removed. The FreeBSD method is tempting, but I know a lot
