At last, I made it. For once and for all, I am totally fed up with Adolf Hitler. I read biographies, analyses, Mein Kampf (his fully made up and concocted “autobiography”), comments and what not. In total something between 15 and 20 books and maybe a 100 articles. I saw countless documentaries and films and I have done interviews with people who lived under his rule, fought in his army, who resisted him or who were prosecuted by his Gestapo.
Now, as a last stage, I read his fan mail. And it was appalling. If you want to get a really bad impression of the Germans – do some “Kraut Kontrol” of the negative kind – you must read this book, “Briefe an Hitler”. But I would not recommend it. In a sense, this item is inaccurately filed under the category “what to read”. Don’t.
Unless you are a Hitler fan yourself, of course. In that case, this is a recommendable book, full of interesting ass licking, female adoration and blatant homo-erotic prose; an interesting detail, because I get the impression that Hitler himself was sexless. As in: he didn’t get any. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that he died as a virgin. We’ll never know.
There is a disadvantage for all those non-German Hitler-adepts across the globe. The book is available in German only. This might be a problem if you have only little braincells to spare for a new language.
I’m going to get a life now.
