The name "Hitler" used to be associated with something negative in our country. No one even really knew when Hitler's birthday was. And no one would have thought to congratulate him on another date.
But there were young people who were so eager to congratulate Hitler that they even cut their hair bald. It would seem, what is Hitler's joy from this? But such questions are asked only by those who have something to ask them. The rest shave baldly so that their heads rest in the summer, ventilate in the fall, the hat sits on it better in the winter, and Hitler would be happy in the spring.
It is for such people that we publish the biography of Adolf Schicklgruber-Hitler. For the first time in Russian, by the way.
BRIEF CURIOSITY SUMMARY
Little Gitlya was born in the territory occupied by the Germans. But that's not what made him a fascist. In the beginning, Gitli's childhood was stolen. It happened like this: Gitlya was forced to go to school, and after school to go back and go to the store on the way. But that's not what made him a fascist. Although it was very pissed off.
Then adolescence was stolen from Gitli. One beautiful girl(not Eva Braun, but more beautiful) did not want Gitlya to tickle her with his youthful mustache. Gitli immediately developed a cockroach complex. He became afraid of people in hard shoes with newspapers in their hands.
To overcome this complex, Gitlya went to the army. There, his youth was stolen from him, along with footcloths and a photograph of a naked woman (perhaps his mother or sister).
Hitler did not tolerate this anymore and became a fascist. In addition, he added the courageous letter “ER” to his rather flimsy name and turned from the mumble of Gitli into the Fuhrer of Hitler.
At that time there were few fascists in Germany, and Hitler easily stood out among them, beating the second German fascist and two anti-fascists. From that moment on, there were four Nazis in Germany.
Adolf suggested beautiful fascist names to his friends: Athos, Porthos, Aramis and Hitler. Everyone wanted to be Hitler, because the rest of the names seemed like some kind of frog.
But Adolf himself was already Hitler. Then he came up with nicknames for his friends: Borman, Shmorman and Otorman. They somehow agreed to Bormann, but Shmorman and Otorman were left without owners. Had to pull out stashed for good people the names of Goebbels and Himmler.
Here Bormann was offended. If he had known that such Zykan names as Goebbels and Himmler would later be thrown out, would he have agreed to an almost Jewish Bormann? I had to take "Borman" back, and issue NZ - the sonorous name "Goering".
Finally, all procedural issues were resolved and Hitler, Goering, Himmler and Goebbels (sounds great, right?) Could go and drink beer in a Munich pub.
It was there that these four "Ge", as they were called by those around them, decided to conquer the whole world. And not with the help of smiles or some song “Yesterday”, but for real: with the help of SS divisions, Panther tanks and Messerschmidt aircraft.
When the money ran out, and the desire to drink beer still remained, the friends ordered the bartender to pour them on credit. The burry bartender refused, and an item about special camps appeared in the program of angry fascists, where such bartenders would be kept and all sorts of nasty things could be done to them. Humiliations are different there ... So that you can take and pinch the bartender by the nose or give him a crack, and if he, such a clever bastard, thinks to dodge, then burn him in the stove.
The bartender was immediately informed about this program, but for some reason he did not believe it, did not sell the bar and did not leave the country. But he had such an opportunity for another fifteen years.
No one gave the scoundrels a hat right away, and they became insolent: they took it and came to power. What did people buy? They took it and promised that the people would no longer work. The people liked it very much, but the question arose: who will work then? Goebbels came up with the answer on the go, they say, others will work. And Bormann added "peoples". Himmler clarified that they would not be conquered specifically for this today or tomorrow.
And indeed, looking ahead, let's say that the peoples of Europe conquered surprisingly quickly. They immediately began to work for the Germans and only asked them not to kill them.
But with the Russians, everything turned out more complicated. Firstly, they are very similar to the Germans - they also do not like to work. But unlike the Germans, they like to drink not beer, but vodka. And drink as much vodka as the Germans drink water in the morning after beer.
But back to Hitler. In the prime of his life, he fell in love with Eva Braun (translated: Primal Brown Woman). It must be said that Eva was not a beauty, but Hitler was not told this. And when he realized this, it was difficult to get rid of Eve. I had to poison her. Accidentally, together with Eva, Hitler poisoned a dog, himself and let water into the Berlin swastika-signed subway named after Hitler.
For some reason, everyone decided that Hitler was so upset because he lost the war. Fascists don't get upset over such trifles. And even more so, they don’t poison themselves in vain because of this. At the most: they will change their name, appearance, and go to Argentina.
No, this is a common household mistake when poisoning a wife.
In general, Hitler's life was so boring that when it ended, he only had time to say: "Halt!" and that's it. There was nothing to even remember. Only one stupid animal desire for everything to continue, for all the halt and money to be. (c)
Historian and TV presenter Leonid Mlechin undertook to unravel the most big mysteries Adolf Hitler
On the shelves of even a small bookstore, there are probably several books at once that tell about Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. One more was added to them - "The Fuhrer's Biggest Secret", written by the famous historian, writer and TV presenter Leonid MLECHIN. Why is interest in this historical figure (by the way, tomorrow is the birthday of the Nazi boss number one) so persistent? “Is not everything known about Hitler yet?” we asked the author.
There are individuals in world history whose scale of crimes is so incredible that they will always attract attention. I tried to give answers to many questions, but there are things that you still cannot fully understand. To some extent, this fascinates the researcher, however, it often leads to a false perception of the scale of the individual.
Actually, as a person, Adolf Hitler was a complete nonentity, but the scope of his atrocities is such that they, like a powerful lens, turned his figure into a gigantic one. Under this optical effect, Hitler was often credited with qualities that in fact he did not have.
- So, the final understanding of Hitler has not yet taken place?
All German archives relating to the 13-year period of Hitlerism were immediately opened after 1945. Written great amount books, but imagine, and to this day in the same Germany more and more new works are published. Here I just read a fat one treatise about the German economy during Nazism. In it, for the first time in 60 years, detailed explanations how the Third Reich, with rather scarce resources, managed to create a powerful military machine and threaten almost the entire world. This is an inexhaustible topic.
- And what is "Hitler's biggest secret"? Did you open it?
The Fuhrer has a lot of secrets. Starting with the mystery of his origin: after all, who his grandfather was, is still completely incomprehensible. Most likely, incest took place in his family: his father married his own niece. He hid it all his life and was terribly afraid that the truth would come out. Another secret is Hitler's relationship with men and women, his crushed homosexuality, fear of intimacy with the opposite sex. As a result, there was a complete discord with oneself and resentment for the whole world around. It seems that the only person for whom Hitler had feelings, including sexual ones, was his own niece Geli Raubal, who committed suicide in the 31st year.
All these particulars would not have special significance, if it had not developed into character, into the fate of himself and his country. But the biggest mystery is how this man was able to completely subjugate the whole state to himself, to master the mass consciousness of the people so much that these people themselves threw themselves into the furnace.
- More recently, we were taught history in a different way: historical materialism, class struggle, movement from rank to rank. And now, it turns out, individuals and their intimate life can drastically affect world history?
Yes, I think the role of the individual in history has turned out to be much more significant than we once thought. She is just awesome! I dare say that if, for example, Adolf Hitler died at the front in the 17th or 18th year, there would be no National Socialism. There would be ultra-right parties, something else, but 50 million people would still be alive! If he had been born a dozen years earlier or later, everything would have turned out differently. Hitler coincided at that very historical point with the mood of the people, he caught the wave.
- You portrayed the young Hitler as an ordinary person, weak and notorious. At what point did the metamorphosis happen and the Fuhrer appear?
A whole chain of accidents leads him to this. There is a version that the turning point was an episode on the front of the First World War, when, after a gas attack, Hitler ended up in the hospital. The doctor who treated him for his blindness discovered that the damage to his eyes was not organic, but rather neurotic. And then, not without the help of hypnosis, the front-line doctor inspired Hitler with a special belief in himself.
The second moment occurred when Hitler, finding himself at a meeting of a small Bavarian party - and such meetings took place in pubs - began to speak. Surrounded by completely insignificant outcasts, he suddenly felt the gift of a demagogue in himself. They began to applaud him, and he was filled with self-confidence.
In a word, a mass of random circumstances formed a fatal sequence. He shouldn't have come to power. If the Weimar Republic had held out for at least an extra couple of months, the Nazi wave would have come to naught. And it so happened that a number of politicians who played their own games, trying to drown each other, opened the way to the top for Hitler.
- Was it all so accidental? After all, fascism was already in Italy by that time, similar regimes took over in other European countries.
But in Germany there was a special situation. After the First World War, the Germans held a huge grudge against the whole world. And false grievances and the search for external enemies are extremely dangerous things for any country.
- By the way, in Russia, which suffered the most in the war against fascism, skinheads are walking around today, beating up people of a different nationality. Where do we get this infection from?
There is no paradox in this. It took Germany two decades to heal and a huge strain on society, especially on the West German intelligentsia. She wrote new textbooks, created a new spiritual climate. The country has learned its lessons. Even the current German Chancellor Merkel, born after the war and seemingly free from responsibility for the crimes of Hitlerism, speaks of historical guilt German people. It costs a lot.
For Russia, however strange it may sound, the Great Patriotic War was not anti-fascist, it was a war for the Motherland against the invaders. There was no exposure of fascism, its ideological roots: after all, Stalin's regime was in many ways similar to it. This is clearly seen in the example of the GDR, where, as in the USSR, these "vaccinations" were not done. It is no coincidence that the far right in today's Germany is almost all from its eastern lands. I hope the clues of the most big secrets Hitler will bring us all at least one step closer to learning the lessons of history.
Adolf Hitler (1889 - 1945) - a great political and military figure, the founder of the totalitarian dictatorship of the Third Reich, the leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, the founder and ideologist of the theory of National Socialism.
Hitler is known to the whole world, first of all, as a bloody dictator, a nationalist who dreamed of taking over the whole world and purging it of people of the "wrong" (not Aryan) race. He conquered half the world, launched a world war, created one of the most brutal political systems and destroyed millions of people in his camps.
Brief biography of Adolf Hitler
Hitler was born in small town on the border between Germany and Austria. At school, the boy studied poorly, and higher education he never managed to get it - he tried twice to enter the Academy of Arts (Hitler had artistic talent), but he was never accepted.
AT young age at the beginning of the First World War, Hitler voluntarily went to fight at the front, where the great politician and National Socialist was born in him. Hitler achieved success in his military career, received the rank of corporal and several military awards. In 1919, he returned from the war and joined the German Workers' Party, where he was also quickly promoted. In times of serious economic and political crisis in Germany, Hitler skillfully carried out a series of National Socialist reforms in the party and achieved the post of head of the party in 1921. Since that time, he began to actively promote his policies and new national ideas, using the party apparatus and his military experience.
After the Bavarian putsch was organized on Hitler's orders, he was immediately arrested and sent to prison. It was during the time spent in prison that Hitler wrote one of his main works, Mein Kampf (My Struggle), in which he outlined all his thoughts on the current situation, outlined his position on racial issues (the superiority of the Aryan race), declared war Jews and communists, and also stated that it was Germany that should become the dominant state in the world.
Hitler's path to world domination began in 1933 when he was appointed Chancellor of Germany. Hitler received his post thanks to the economic reforms who helped overcome the crisis that erupted in 1929 (Germany was ruined after the First World War and was not in the best position). After his appointment as Reich Chancellor, Hitler immediately banned all other parties except the Nationalist Party. In the same period, a law was passed according to which Hitler became dictators for 4 years, having unlimited power.
A year later, in 1934, he himself appointed himself the leader of the "Third Reich" - the new political system based on the nationalist principle. Hitler's struggle with the Jews flared up - SS detachments and concentration camps were created. In the same period, the army was completely modernized and re-equipped - Hitler was preparing for a war that was supposed to bring Germany world domination.
In 1938, Hitler's victorious march around the world began. First, Austria was captured, then Czechoslovakia - they were annexed to the territory of Germany. The Second World War was in full swing. In 1941, Hitler's army attacked the USSR (Great Patriotic War), however, in four years of hostilities, Hitler did not succeed in capturing the country. The Soviet army, on the orders of Stalin, pushed back the German troops and captured Berlin.
At the end of the war, their last days Hitler controlled the troops from an underground bunker, but this did not help. Humiliated by defeat, Adolf Hitler, along with his wife Eva Braun, committed suicide in 1945.
The main provisions of Hitler's policy
Hitler's policy is a policy of racial discrimination and the superiority of one race and people over another. This is what guided the dictator, both internally and in foreign policy. Germany under his leadership was to become a racially pure power that follows socialist principles and is ready to take the lead in the world. In order to achieve this ideal, Hitler pursued a policy of extermination of all other races, Jews were subjected to special persecution. At first they were simply deprived of all civil rights, and then they simply began to catch and kill with particular cruelty. Later, captured soldiers also ended up in concentration camps during World War II.
However, it is worth noting that Hitler managed to significantly improve the German economy and bring the country out of the crisis. Hitler significantly reduced unemployment. He raised the industry (it was now focused on serving the military industry), encouraged various social events and various holidays (exclusively among the native German population). Germany, in general, before the war was able to get on its feet and gain some economic stability.
Results of Hitler's reign

Greetings to regular and new readers of the site! In the article "Adolf Hitler: biography, Interesting Facts, video" - about the main stages of the life of the founder of the totalitarian dictatorship of the Third Reich, the Fuhrer of Germany, the founder of National Socialism.
Adolf Hitler is the leader of Nazi Germany and a Nazi criminal who tried to take over all of Europe and make the Aryan race superior to others. These aspirations were rightfully recognized as crimes against humanity.
Biography of Adolf Hitler
The future leader of Germany was born in the Austrian city of Braunau am Inn on April 20, 1889. Little Adolf was the third of five children. Adolf's direct ancestors were peasants. Only his father made a career by becoming a government official.
Clara and Alois Hitler
Parents: Father - Alois Hitler, customs official. Mother - Clara, housewife, cousin of her husband. The difference in the age of the spouses was 23 years. This is the third marriage of Alois.
The family moved quite often and therefore Adolf did not particularly show himself in the sciences. He showed himself well in physical education and drawing. He willingly studied geography, history, did not like other subjects. The guy firmly decided that in life he would be an artist, and not an official, as his father wanted.
Hitler (center) with classmates, 1900
After the death of his mother, who survived her husband by four years, Adolf went to Vienna and began an independent life.
He couldn't draw people. In almost all of his paintings, people were absent. But he enjoyed painting wonderful landscapes, still lifes, buildings. He twice tried to enter the Vienna Academy of Arts, but was unsuccessful. He was not accepted.
Unrecognized artist fell into a catastrophic lack of money. Sometimes he had to spend the night under the bridge along with a collapsed dream and vagabonds. Soon the guy found a way out - he began to sell his paintings.
Dear reader, imagine how the course of the history of Germany and many countries would change if Adolf managed to enter the Academy?! As an artist, he created about 3400 paintings, sketches and drawings
Hitler's path to power
At 24, the failed artist moved to Munich. There he was inspired by the First World War and entered the Bavarian army. Germany lost this war. Hitler was extremely disappointed and blamed the country's political forces for the defeat.
It was this disappointment that prompted the young activist to join the People's Party of Workers, which he later headed.
Having led the NSDAP, Adolf began an active movement to seize power. On November 9, 1923, the Nazis, who were on their way to overthrow the government, were stopped by the police. The party leader was sentenced to 5 years in prison. He was released after 9 months!
These events did not change Adolf's intentions. The revived NSDAP became a national party. To achieve power, he enlisted the support of the highest military officials and major German industrialists.
Political career
The Nazi leader moved quite rapidly along career ladder. So, in 1930, he already led the assault troops. To participate in the elections for the post of Reich Chancellor, he changed his Austrian citizenship to German.
He lost in the elections. But a year later, under pressure from representatives of the NSDAP, German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Hitler to this post.
But the "First Nazi" and this was not enough. After all, power still belonged to the Reichstag. Over the next two years, Hitler, removed from the presidency of Germany, became the head of the Nazi state.
The Fuhrer began to develop the country by restoring production military equipment. Violating the Treaty of Versailles, Germany absorbs Czechoslovakia, the Rhineland and Austria.
In parallel, the country is undergoing "cleansing" of the Aryan race from gypsies and Jews, based on Hitler's autobiographical work "Mein Kampf" (1926). And the "Night of the Long Knives" completely cleared Hitler's path of possible political competitors.
In 1939, Nazi Germany attacks Norway, Poland, Denmark, Luxembourg, Holland, Belgium, undertook offensive actions and to France. By 1941, almost all of Europe was "under the boot" of Hitler.

On June 22, 1941, Nazi troops attacked the USSR. Second World War lasted 6 years, ended with the defeat of Germany and the liberation of all previously captured powers.
Chief Court of History
From November 20, 1945 to October 1, 1946, a trial of former leaders Nazi Germany.
Hitler's personal life
Officially, Adolf Hitler never married. He had no children, but he could conquer the most unapproachable ladies with his charismatic character. In 1929, he was struck by the beauty of Eva Braun, who became his concubine. But even this love did not stop the German leader from flirting with other women.
In 2012, Hitler's son, a certain Werner Schmedt, who was born from the dictator's niece Geli Ruabal, announced his existence.
Date of death of Adolf Hitler - April 30, 1945 (age 56). When he was informed about the entrance Soviet troops in Berlin, Adolf and Eva committed suicide. The cause of death has not yet been precisely determined. Perhaps it was poison, or a headshot. Their bodies were found burned in a bunker. Hitler's height is 1.75 m, the zodiac sign is Aries.
After the armistice, Hitler returned to Munich and was enlisted in the intelligence of an army regiment. He was assigned to monitor political parties, and on September 12, 1919, he joined the German Workers' Party - one of the many nationalist and racist groups that appeared like mushrooms after rain after the war in Munich. Hitler became a member of this party at number 55, and later at number 7 became a member of its executive committee. Over the next two years, Hitler changed the party's name to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, NSDAP). The party preached militant racism, anti-Semitism, rejection of liberal democracy, the principle of "leaderism".
In 1923, Hitler decided that he could make good on his promise to "march on Berlin" and overthrow the "Jewish-Marxist traitors." Preparing for it, he met the war hero, General E. Ludendorff. On the night of November 8, 1923, in the Munich beer hall "Bürgerbräukeller" Hitler proclaimed the beginning of " national revolution". The next day, Hitler, Ludendorff and other party leaders led the Nazi column towards the city center. They were blocked by a police cordon, which opened fire on the demonstrators; Hitler managed to escape. The "beer coup" failed.
Brought to trial for treason, Hitler turned the dock into a propaganda platform; he accused the President of the Republic of treachery and vowed that the day would come when he would bring his accusers to justice. Hitler was sentenced to five years in prison, but was released from Landsberg prison less than a year later. In prison, he had breakfast in bed, walked in the garden, taught the prisoners, drew cartoons for the prison newspaper. Hitler dictated the first volume of the book containing his political program, calling it Four and a half years of struggle against lies, stupidity and cowardice. It later came out under the title My Struggle (Mein Kampf), sold millions of copies, and made Hitler a rich man.
In December 1924, after being released from prison, Hitler went to Obersalzberg, mountain range above the village of Berchtesgaden, where he lived in hotels for several years, and in 1928 rented a villa, which he later bought and named the Berghof.
Hitler revised his plans and decided to come to power legally. He reorganized the party and launched an intense campaign to collect votes. In his speeches, Hitler repeated the same themes: to avenge the Treaty of Versailles, to crush the "traitors of the Weimar Republic", to destroy Jews and communists, to revive the great fatherland.
In a situation of economic crisis and political instability 1930-1933, Hitler's promises attracted members of all social strata of Germany. He was especially successful with veterans of the First World War and small businesses, as these groups were especially keenly aware of the humiliation of defeat, the threat of communism, the fear of unemployment and felt the need for a strong leader. With the assistance of W. Funk, the former publisher of the Berliner Börsentseitung newspaper, Hitler began to meet with major German industrialists. Senior army officials were also assured that the army would be given a prominent place in his model of German imperialism. Third important source support was the Land Union (Landbund), which united landowners and vehemently opposed the proposal of the government of the Weimar Republic on the redistribution of land.
Presidential elections Hitler saw 1932 as a test of the party's strength. His rival was Field Marshal P. von Hindenburg, who was supported by the Social Democrats, the Catholic Center Party and the trade unions. Two more parties participated in the struggle - the nationalists, led by an army officer T. Duesterberg, and the communists, led by E. Telman. Hitler ran a vigorous grassroots campaign and garnered over 30% of the vote, depriving Hindenburg of the required absolute majority.
The actual "seizure of power" by Hitler became possible as a result of a political collusion with the former Chancellor F. von Papen. Meeting in secrecy on January 4, 1933, they came to an agreement to work together in the government, in which Hitler was to become chancellor, and von Papen's followers received key ministerial posts. In addition, they agreed on the removal of the leading positions of the Social Democrats, Communists and Jews. Von Papen's support brought the Nazi Party substantial financial assistance from German business circles. January 30, 1933 "Bavarian corporal" became chancellor, swearing an oath to defend the constitution of the Weimar Republic. AT next year Hitler assumed the title of Führer (leader) and Chancellor of Germany.
Hitler sought to quickly consolidate his power and establish a "thousand-year Reich." In the first months of his reign, all political parties, except for the Nazis, were banned, trade unions were dissolved, the entire population was covered by Nazi-controlled unions, societies and groups. Hitler tried to convince the country of the danger of the "Red Terror". On the night of February 27, 1933, the Reichstag building caught fire. The Nazis blamed the Communists and took full advantage of the trumped-up charge in the elections by increasing their presence in the Reichstag.
By the summer of 1934, Hitler was facing serious opposition within his party. The "old fighters" of the SA assault detachments, led by E. Rem, demanded more radical social reforms, called for a "second revolution" and insisted on the need to strengthen their role in the army. German generals opposed such radicalism and the claims of the SA to lead the army. Hitler, who needed the support of the army and himself feared the uncontrollability of the attack aircraft, spoke out against his former comrades-in-arms. Accusing Rem of plotting to assassinate the Fuhrer, he staged a bloody massacre on June 30, 1934 (“the night of long knives”), during which several hundred SA leaders, including Rem, were killed. Soon, army officers swore allegiance not to the constitution or country, but to Hitler personally. Germany's Chief Justice proclaimed that "the law and the constitution are the will of our Führer."
Hitler aspired not only to legal, political and social dictatorship. “Our revolution,” he once stressed, “will not end until we dehumanize people.” For this purpose, he established the secret police (Gestapo), created concentration camps, the Ministry of Public Education and Propaganda. The Jews, declared the worst enemies of mankind, were deprived of their rights and subjected to public humiliation.
Having received dictatorial powers from the Reichstag, Hitler began preparations for war. Trampling the Treaty of Versailles, he restored universal military service, created powerful air Force. In 1936 he sent troops into the demilitarized Rhineland and refused to recognize the Locarno Treaties. Together with Mussolini, Hitler supported Franco in civil war in Spain and laid the foundation for the Rome-Berlin axis. He took aggressive diplomatic actions against potential adversaries both in the west and in the east, escalating international tension. In 1938, as a result of the so-called. Anschluss, Austria was annexed to the Third Reich.
On September 29, 1938, Hitler, together with Mussolini, met in Munich with British Prime Minister Chamberlain and French Prime Minister Daladier; the parties agreed to the rejection Sudetenland(with a German-speaking population) from Czechoslovakia. In mid-October, German troops occupied this territory, and Hitler began preparations for the next "crisis". On March 15, 1939, German troops occupied Prague, completing the absorption of Czechoslovakia.
In August 1939, with rare cynicism on both sides, Germany and the USSR signed a non-aggression pact, which gave Hitler a free hand in the east and gave him the opportunity to focus his efforts on the destruction of Europe.
On September 1, 1939, the German army invaded Poland, which marked the beginning of World War II. Hitler assumed command of the armed forces and imposed own plan waging war, despite the strong resistance of the army leadership, in particular, the chief of the general staff of the army, General L. Beck, who insisted that Germany did not have enough strength to defeat the allies (England and France), who had declared war on Hitler. After the capture of Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium and, finally, France, Hitler - not without hesitation - decided to invade England. In October 1940 he issued a directive on the operation " Sea lion» - code name intrusions.
Hitler's plans also included the conquest Soviet Union. Believing that the time had come for this, Hitler took steps to secure Japan's support in her conflict with the United States. He hoped that in this way he would keep America from interfering in the European conflict. Nevertheless, Hitler failed to convince the Japanese that the war with the USSR will bring success, and later he had to face the discouraging fact of the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact.
On July 20, 1944, the last attempt to eliminate Hitler took place: a time bomb was detonated at his Wolfschanze headquarters near Rastenburg. Salvation from imminent death strengthened him in the consciousness of his chosen one, he decided that the German nation would not perish as long as he remained in Berlin. British and American troops from the west and Soviet army from the east they tightened the encirclement around the German capital. Hitler was in underground bunker in Berlin, refusing to leave it: he did not go either to the front or to inspect German cities destroyed by Allied aircraft. On April 15, Eva Braun, his mistress for over 12 years, joined Hitler. At the time when he was going to power, this connection was not advertised, but as the end approached, he allowed Eva Braun to appear with him in public. In the early morning of April 29, they were married.
After dictating a political testament in which the future leaders of Germany called for a merciless struggle against the "poisoners of all peoples - international Jewry", Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945.
