Many years have passed since Hitler committed suicide, but his name is still on everyone’s lips. Numerous monographs and memoirs have been written about him, reading which you are amazed, since Hitler the man did not correspond to what we call the GERMAN CHARACTER. The Germans, as we know, value education, and Hitler did not have any profession. The Germans deified their generals and field marshals. But Hitler did not even receive an officer rank during the war, and remained a corporal! Germany in the 1920s and 1930s was gripped by the cult of sports. Hitler did not play sports: he did not swim, did not ski, did not play football. What's the matter? Why did Hitler manage to turn the democratic Weimar Republic into a totalitarian state and become a dictator? The chronicle of Hitler's life offered to the reader is given against a broad historical background and without the author imposing his point of view. Let the reader draw his own conclusions. There is more than enough material for this!
