Q. Every April 20th, National Socialists around the world celebrate Hitler's birthday, but do they know what kind of a man he really was?
A. No individual has been as demonized as Adolf Hitler. But his actual character does not fit the monstrous reputation manufactured for him by his enemies for the last eighty years. Just a few facts about the man's personal life serve to illustrate.
He is still portrayed as a humorless egomaniac, yet at least two funny caricatures he drew of himself appeared, along with a number of his other amusing sketches lampooning close friends and stuffy judges. He even assigned one of his secretaries the job of assembling cartoons from enemy newspapers in which he himself was often horribly depicted, and would rock with laughter at these collections.
In other words, he had the ability to laugh at himself. For example, when an admiral praised him as “the bravest hero who ever walked the Earth,” Hitler quipped, “you may think so, but at sea I'm a coward!”
Luxuries never appealed to him, and he always ate very modestly, sticking to his sparse, vegetarian diet. When once some army general threw a lavish banquet for him, he left the room before sitting down.
Hitler was an irrepressible wanderer, and guests to his Berghof, high in the mountains, had best bring their hiking shoes. In his personal habits, he never drank, smoked, or used obscene language, and rarely lost his temper, contrary to enemy portrayals. As such, Hitler was in stark contrast to our foul-mouthed George W. Bush or his sexually over-heated predecessor, Bill Clinton.
In his private "table talk", Hitler told of his retirement plans, which included resigning the Chancellorship as soon as the war was over and a constitutional republic based on the American model was up and running in Germany. Unlike Churchill, Hitler was not interested in writing any self-serving memoirs to make himself seem like a hero in the eyes of posterity. Instead, he planned to write biographies of Frederick the Great and Martin Luther. Churchill, in fact, was fond of repeating, "I will be well treated by history, because I shall write it."
Churchill, too, was obsessed with his wealth, much of it squandered by his gambling, ne'er-do-well son, Randolf. Hitler, on the other hand, donated all royalties from his book, Mein Kampf - the international sales of which totaled many million of dollars - to charitable institutions, an act of generosity that went unrecognized until nearly half a century after his death.
In a candid moment, he admitted, "Now that I know men, I prefer dogs," and clearly spent his happiest hours in the company of Blondie, his beloved German Shepherd. When an ignorant but well-meaning hunter presented him with the carcass of an eagle, Hitler was noticeably depressed, thanked the man as best he could, but admonished him never to shoot such a bird again. After the National Socialist Seizure of Power in 1933, the Fuehrer outlawed vivisection, kosher slaughter (which requires the slow-death torture of butchered animals), and even specified that lobsters be cooked in water already boiling, so they would die instantly and relatively painlessly, instead of the until then lingering process favored by restaurants.
When Hitler was shown photographs of the women and children killed by the tens of thousands in the U.S. and British air raids on Dresden, near war's end, he wept uncontrollably. In earlier, happier days, his favorite pastime was playing host to his closest companions, like the Belgian SS leader, Leon Degrelle, who remembered that Hitler liked to wait on his friends, personally serving them drinks (invariably non-alcoholic) and treats, while conversation often turned to the latest cars or movies. He also loved reminiscing about "the Old Days", particularly where a humorous memory was involved. For relaxation, he preferred watching Hollywood movies and listening to his record collection of mostly classical music. Mozart, Beethoven, Bruckner, and, of course, Wagner were his favorite composers.
His real passion was not the military or politics, but city planning and architecture. As he once said of himself, “I am a reluctant war-lord, but an enthusiastic builder.” His most impassioned speeches were made when he was talking about reconstruction.
Clearly, the real Adolf Hitler was an entirely different man than the fantastic creature conjured by generations of lying Jew movies and no less hateful books aimed at separating the masses of Aryan mankind from their greatest leader.
WE SALUTE EUROPE’S GREATEST SON Courtesy of a Friend of AHRS, Sent via E-mail
DAVID LLOYD GEORGE: “I have never met a happier people than the Germans and Hitler is one of the greatest men. The old trust him; the young idolise him. It is the worship of a national hero who has saved his country.” - Daily Express, 17.9.1936
WINSTON CHURCHILL: “If our country were defeated I should hope we should find a champion as indomitable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations.” - Step by Step, p.143
WINSTON CHURCHILL: “In fifteen years that have followed this resolve, he has succeeded in restoring Germany to the most powerful position in Europe, and not only has he restored the position of his country, but he has even, to a very great extent, reversed the results of the Great War.... the vanquished are in the process of becoming the victors and the victors the vanquished.... whatever else might be thought about these exploits they are certainly among the most remarkable in the whole history of the world.” – 1935. (Ironically the author of these comments had directly the opposite effect on his own country).
THEODUR HEUSS: “He moved souls, the will to sacrifice, and great devotion, enthralling and enthusiastically inspiring everyone by his appearance.”
VISCOUNT ROTHERMERE: “He has a supreme intellect. I have known only two other men to whom I could apply such distinction - Lord Northcliffe and Lloyd George. If one puts a question to Hitler, he gives an immediate, brilliant clear answer.
There is no human being living whose promise on important matters I would trust more readily. He believes that Germany has a divine calling and that the German people are destined to save Europe from the revolutionary attacks of Communism. He values family life very highly, whereas Communism is its worst enemy. He has thoroughly cleansed the moral, ethical life of Germany, forbidden publication of obscene books, and performance of questionable plays and films.
No words can describe his politeness; he disarms men as well as women and can win both at any time with his conciliatory, pleasant smile. He is a man of rare culture. His knowledge of music, the arts and architecture is profound.” - Warnings and Predictions, p. 180 – 183
HANS GRIMM: “I witness with awe and admiration, that he, as nearly the first in the world, caused multitudes without force or any personal benefits to follow him of their own free will and volition.”
G.E.O KNIGHT: “Altogether, Herr Hitler has worked miracles for the new Germany. I anticipate that in a very short time, the Chancellor will have shown the world more than it ever bargained for in its wildest efforts to crush the new regime.” - In Defence of Germany
JACQUES BAINVILLE: “For Stressseman represented political parties which no longer existed, whereas Hitler enjoys the confidence of the whole of Germany expressed by the votes of over forty million electors.’” - l'Action Francais
HOUSTON STEWART CHAMBERLAIN: “At one stroke you have transformed the state of my soul. That Germany in the greatest hour of its need can produce a Hitler testifies to its vitality.”
THE DAILY MAIL: “He succeeded in ascending to the highest power-position in Germany with very little spilling of blood or loss of human life in a land of 68 million inhabitants. Austria was annexed without one shot being fired.” - Daily Mail, 20th, May, 1938
THE OBSERVER: “I have talked with the humblest type of labourers, with merchants, professional men. I have yet to discover a dissenting voice to the question of loyalty to the Fuehrer.” - John L. Garvin.
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW: “When I said that Herr Hitler’s action was right and inevitable, the storm of abuse that was about to bust on me was suddenly checked by Mr. Lloyd George saying exactly the same thing. It is inconceivable that a single vote should be cast against him.”
DOUGLAS REED: “Germans in their country are not less well cared for than the English people in theirs, but better.”
JOHN F. KENNEDY, U.S. PRESIDENT: “After visiting these two places (the town of Berchtesgaden and Obersalzberg) you can easily understand how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made.” - Prelude to Leadership, The European Diary of J.F Kennedy, Summer, 1945.
JESSE OWENS, AFRICAN OLYMPIC ATHLETE: “When I passed the Chancellor he arose, waved his hand at me, and I waved back at him. I think writers showed bad taste in criticising the man of the hour in Germany.” - Richard D. Mandell. The Nazi Olympics
THE MARQUESS OF LOTHIAN: “I think that it must be admitted that National Socialism has done a great deal for Germany. It has undoubtedly cleaned up Germany in the ordinary moral sense of the word. The defeatism, the corruption so manifest a characteristic in the days after the war has disappeared, at any rate from public view. It has given discipline and order and a sense of purpose to the great majority of young people who in earlier days did not know where to go or what they were living for.” - British Ambassador, Washington, June 29th, 1937.
JOSEPH GOEBBELS: “This century will be named and shaped after Adolf Hitler.”
EVE BRAUN TO HER SISTER: “I must write you these words so that you will not feel sad over our end here in the shelter.
It is rather we who are filled with sorrow because it is your fate to live on into the chaos that will follow.
For myself, I am glad to die here; glad to be at the side of the Fuehrer; foremost of all, glad that the horror now to come is spared me.”
DR. JOSEPH GOEBBELS TO HIS STEPSON, HARALD: My Dear Harald, We sit locked in the Fuehrer’s shelter in the R.C., fighting for lives and honour.
I hardly believe that we shall ever see each other again; therefore, it is likely that these will be the last lines you will ever receive from me. I expect from you, should you outlive this war, that you do only that which will honour your mother and father.
Germany will outlive this terrible war, but only if it has examples upon which to guide its reconstruction. Such an example we want to give here. Do not let yourself be confused by the uproar that will now reign throughout the world.
The lies will one day break down under their own weight and the truth will again triumph. The hour will come when we shall stand pure and undefiled as our aims and beliefs have always been.
Farewell, my dear Harald. Whether we shall ever see each other again lies in the hand of God. If it is not to be, then always be proud to have belonged to a family that even in the face of disaster remains true to the Fuehrer to the very last and true to his pure and Holy cause. All the best and my heartfelt greetings. Your Papa”
GENERAL LEON DEGRELLE: “Hitler was the greatest statesman Europe has ever known. History will prove that when whipped up emotions have died down. He was more matter of fact, generally more unfolded than Napoleon.
Napoleon was more of a vanquishing, empire-founding Frenchman than a true European. Hitler, in his being a man of his time, dreamed of an enduring, just, honest Europe, unified by the initiative of the victor. A Europe however in which each ethnic group could develop according to their merits and accomplishments.
The proof of this is that he offered Petain his hand. Just as Bismarck knew how to outgrow Prussia and become a German, so Hitler soon changed from being a German to being a European. At an early stage he disconnected himself from imperialistic ambition.
Without any difficulty he began to think of himself as a European and initiated the creation of a Europe in which Germany - like Prussia in Bismarck's time, was to be the foundation stone.
Some comrades of the Fuhrer might still have been short-sighted Pan-Germanists. But Hitler had the genius, the right scale, the absence of bias and the necessary vision to accomplish the terrific task.
He had an authority, not to be found a second time in the history of the continent. His success would have established wealth and civilisation of Europe for centuries, probably forever. Hitler's plans for Europe would have meant a blessing for us all.”
HITLER’S LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT: “It is not true that I wished for war in 1939, neither I nor anyone else in Germany.
War was provoked exclusively by those international statesmen who were of Jewish race or who worked in the interests of international Jewry....
“I nourish the conviction that the hour will come when millions of men who now curse us will take a stand behind us to welcome the new Europe, our common creation born of a painful and laborious struggle and an arduous triumph - a Europe which is the symbol of greatness, honour, strength, honesty and justice.
“At the time of supreme peril I must die a martyr’s death for the people. But after my death will come something really great, an overwhelming revelation to the world of my mission.
My spirit will rise from the grave, and the world will see I was right.”
DR. JOSEPH GOEBBELS: “Do not let yourself be confused by the uproar that will now reign throughout the world. The lies will one day break down under their own weight and the truth will again triumph. The hour will come when we shall stand pure and undefiled as our aims and beliefs have always been.”
