Today is his 135th birthday. Post book recommendations on the most deified man in recent Western memory, one who's name invokes a primal fear and superstition identical to that of the Devil in medieval times.Pic-rel is an excellent book, though it assumes some familiarity with the "major" Hitler biographies, it works as a standalone as well. It thoroughly and completely debunks many aspects of Hitler's interpretation by the biographers as some evil megalomaniac tyrant "unperson" with no talent in anything (in particular, Ian Kershaw's), by simply going through their own works and pointing out absurdities, and attempts to put him in his proper context as (dark) World Historical Personality akin to a Caesar or Napoleon. He paints the picture of an extremely precocious, intelligent, and thoughtful young man transformed into a German messiah guided by an unshakable inner conviction to save the Germans.I strongly recommend anyone interested in the man to read this book.
This short book is another fringe-but-within-the-mainstream work. It does a surprisingly fair overview of Adolf Hitler's philosophy of National Socialism, and of Hitler as a kind of "synthesis of Spengler and Napoleon".
This is a book written by his childhood and early adulthood friend, Kubizek, about the young Hitler he knew. Something that permeates this work is what an intense person Hitler was, and his immense passion for the arts. Indeed, Hitler considered art to be essentially the crowning achievement of a peoples. And it remained so until the very end.

>>23305522Hitler seems to be so especially feared and detested less because of the actual amount of people killed by his ideas, and more due to the bleakness his ideas represented. I think it's a peculiar phenomenon. Mao and Stalin's ideas arguably killed more people, and less people were killed by Saddam, but in similarly banal and depraved ways (gassing the inferior Kurds). Yet even though these figures aren't well liked, they don't enjoy the special evil status Hitler does. I think it's because a lot of other ideas at least cloak themselves in some idea of benevolence, or well meaning idealism; communism may produce horrors, but it claims to be about equality and liberation for all. Same for our current neoliberal system, really. But Nazism said outright, this is about the overt and open declaration of me and mine, as the superior race destined to eliminate and control the rest of you. And whereas American WASP racism and British supremacy held this same spirit, they didn't actually outright attempt it. Nazis said they stood for what is ostensibly banal evil, and then actually tried to carry it out. Had Hitlers ideas won, the world would have become a horrifying realm of atrocity, anti-thought and meaninglessness. I'm glad they didn't, and that they never will.
>>23306226The answer is that the Western world didn't send a generation of men overseas to fight Stalin/Mao. 100 years from now, maybe a bit longer given how much media we now produce, Hitler will be in the same boat as Napoleon.
>>23306226>But Nazism said outright, this is about the overt and open declaration of me and mine, as the superior race destined to eliminate and control the rest of you.Nope, no it wasn't. I, in the friendliest possible way because I am aware of the nature of the subject, encourage you to read at least some of the books here. Pic related is a translation of Hitler Youth handbooks, which I encourage you to read alongside>>23305530Explicitly here it says>Anyone belonging to a non-German or related race is considered a member of a foreign race according to law and according to general usage. For this reason, the racial outlook on life of National Socialism is frequently misunderstood. People insist on finding in this racial outlook on life haughtiness and intolerance. To do so is fundamentally false, however. We reject the idea of race-mixing first, because the hybrid produced by the mixing is a sacrifice to such a disregard of nature. For "during his life he is a split personality in his racial makeup. Without a home he stands between two peoples and does not know in his soul whether he belongs to the one or to the other." In short, he is an unfortunate, restless creature. In the second place, we believe that races receive their different natures in order to develop them and not to mix them. In this connection, we have already stated that we see in racial differences no real differences in quality, but rather differences in kind. Therefore, we will preserve the race of Germans in its true character and guard it against false mixingI know you're repeating the idea of the banality of evil, from the Eichmann "trial", but that is beyond the scope of what I want to talk about.
>>23306244The idea of him as a cartoon super-villain hellbent on world domination and genociding all non-blonde-blue-eyed people is just what it sounds like—a caricature. This is the real world, and super-villains like that don't exist. Though it would definitely be convenient for a pure good vs evil narrative.
>>23306244I would submit to you that this is called "propaganda." The true believers of any movement typically have it sold them to as beneficial and good, and that's why they believe it; but the orchestrators know better. So your excerpt there; yes, the adherents or indoctrinated among the Nazi German commoners, having had this idea of racial essentialism bred into them, believed that by saying something like this, they were being charitable or benevolent to the other races and to the "unfortunate hybrids."But the men running it knew exactly what they were doing, and that's more so who I was referring to.
>>23306251>super villains like that don't exist in the real worldCamps set up to work children to death and stuff them into mass graves because of the sin of their blood, ~1935-1945 A.D. that was the real world. Such men exist.
>>23306242Well, I don't think so because there are categorical differences there, namely an ethnic cleansing campaign of genocidal intent; but opinion is split on Napoleon too. There are many westerners who don't think highly of a guy like Napoleon. It would depend on who you ask. There's no "official" narrative, unless you're asking the institutions. But, why would any thinking man ask them?

>>23306253>>23306256Ah the Holocaust. For the sake of brevity I will accept the claims here -- gas chambers with diesel engines and delousing agents, with all the evidence disappearing into thin air because they were unearthed by a retreating Wehrmacht and cremated in open air fires, and bones crushed with bone crushing machines all to make all the evidence disappear etc. -- there is no evidence directly linking Hitler to the Holocaust (as in Death Camps). No order, or mention or paper-seen or letter received or communications received from the camps, no confidant, secretary, body guard ever hearing of it. In his Political Testament and Last Will he says that those responsible for the murder of European Aryan children and peoples will atone for their crimes, "even if by more humane means". So can we just pretend that this totally real event that totally happened was Himmler's doing or some "emergent" phenomena as Hilberg -- the preeminent Holocaust scholar -- described it>What began in 1941 was a process of destruction not planned in advance, not organized centrally by any agency. There was no blueprint and there was no budget for destructive measures. They were taken step by step, one step at a time. Thus came about not so much a plan being carried out, but an incredible meeting of minds, a consensus mind reading by a far-flung bureaucracy.[84]Also from Hilberg in 2003>The process of destruction… did not, however, proceed from a basic plan. … The destruction process was a step-by-step operation, and the administrator could seldom see more than one step ahead. … In the final analysis, the destruction of the Jews was not so much a product of laws and commands as it was a matter of spirit, of shared comprehension, of consonance and synchronization. (2003: 50-52)You will even find some mainstream "paper" on the topic of whether the Holocaust was centralized or emergent, as that was a fringe-ly allowed controversy. So, on his birthday let's give him the benefit of the doubt :)
>>23306226>Had Hitlers ideas won, the world would have become a horrifying realm of atrocity, anti-thought and meaninglessness. I'm glad they didn't, and that they never will.people like you are getting replaced, raped and murdered(good thing btw)
>>23306287I'll play the same game out of fairness. Let's assume that either details were exaggerated/fabricated, or that it wasn't Hitlers personal doing. If I, for years, curate an atmosphere of racial supremacist and essentialist rhetoric, open hostility and demonization toward a group of people as the sole or main cause of all the world's problems, compare them to vermin, compare me and mine to mythical pantheon gods of Olympus, craft and spread a mythos to build all of this up, all from a position of extreme centralized power backed by institutional authority; and I stop short of saying "kill em all," but the people I've been preaching to as dear leader decide to do this; I played no part?
>>23306306If we go with this, then sure. But it's hardly a unique evil. Caesar massacred entire towns and tribes in Gaul. America nuked 2 civilian targets in Japan for hardly any justifiable reason, at least none that is morally superior to whatever the Germans may or may not have done.
>>23306327I agree that those are of evils of the same caliber, and have often thought that part of why this special status for Hitler and the Nazis exists, is because it enables everyone else to dismiss or trivialize their own sins by comparison. But I think it's also because as comparative standards go, it's a hell of a benchmark.
>>23306261>Well, I don't think so because there are categorical differences there, namely an ethnic cleansing campaign of genocidal intentStalin and Mao both did that as well. >There are many westerners who don't think highly of a guy like Napoleon. It would depend on who you ask.There are very few people who are strongly opinionated when it comes to Napoleon whereas pretty much everyone in a Western country has a very strong negative opinion about Adolf Hitler. This is the point.
>>23306226Mao wanted to chop off the tallest ears of wheat like that ancient tyrant in Herodotus, while Hitler wanted every German to be great. Hitler had a more positive vision.
>>23305522Can we get some good facism reading charts? I've seen them before but I didn't save them and the wiki with random charts has no facism/nazi charts.
>>23306244Lol, what? The Germans literally kicked out all Jewish people to ghettos, looted their stores, stole their possessions, and accused them of bringing all sorts of “spiritual and physical” diseases to Germany. They treated them quite literally as you would treat an infestation of cockroaches — these human beings. And the charge laid at their feet was — you’re too successful, and you’re taking the positions that our German peasants and workers should have. This isn’t even disputed by Holocaust deniers. The Germans did this. Whether they then went on to systematically murder these Jews is a contested issue, but that they persecuted and robbed them purely out of racial hatred is not contentious.This is what your benevolent Nazis said about Russians, for example.Goering>I feel that I am superior to most Russians, not only because I am a German but because my cultural and family background are superior. How ironic it is that crude Russian peasants who wear the uniforms of generals now sit in judgment on me. No matter how educated a Russian might be, he is still a barbaric Asiatic. Himmler>One basic principal must be the absolute rule for the SS man: we must be honest, decent, loyal, and comradely to members of our own blood and to nobody else. What happens to a Russian, to a Czech, does not interest me in the slightest. What the nations can offer in good blood of our type, we will take, if necessary by kidnapping their children and raising them with us. Whether nations live in prosperity or starve to death interests me only in so far as we need them as slaves for our culture; otherwise, it is of no interest to me. Whether 10,000 Russian females fall down from exhaustion while digging an anti-tank ditch interest me only in so far as the anti-tank ditch for Germany is finished.Yes sometimes these vile racists justified their hatred in humanitarian terms - “we just care about preserving culture, we’re benevolent, etc” - but at the root of all their ideology lurked a deep racial narcissism, supremacism and disgust at anyone who was different.
>>23305522Hitler was a type or forerunner of antichrist and the State falsely called "Israel" could not exist without him.He served his purpose.
>>23306327nta but I wouldn't say that is comparable to Caesar or America.Hitler harboured an explicit hatred of the Jews, and propelled a systematic process of removing them.Caesar sacked Gallic villages, but he didn't wish to eradicate them.Same with the Americans agaisnt Japan.
>>23306327>>23308065Yeah these comparisons are awful, anon showing a very flimsy knowledge of history, not surprising
>>23306256I hate morality fags thinking they are something right just because they think a bad thing is well bad. Forgetting that humanity is a despicable form of an animal that is purely egoistical. And morality is made up principles that people really got used to
>>23308719Humanity is whatever you see within it, which is also what you see within yourself. Morality being real or unreal, is only a matter of opinion, and perspective. If you don't believe in the validity of morality, that's on you. Don't try to drag everyone else into it, your choice of perception isn't "the world's" decision. Its yours.
>>23308726Well the same is with that anon. He thinks that X is bad, is all just perception. Why argue with anyone then, if everything what you say is just your perception if morality and it's yours only and will never be the same on others.
>>23308742I am that same anon. Lol.And I don't argue, I stand for what I stand for. Whatever you stand for is your choice. I'm not arguing with you, or anyone. I stand for what I stand for and believe what I believe. Logically, I'll act accordingly. And you will do the same. And the way we act, produces consequences in life. Argument is indeed useless. Conversation can be productive, but that's not argument. Conversation is me telling you about my mind; argument is me insisting that you must change yours. If you want to believe in things I see as banal and evil, go for it. Probably isn't wise, because of how consequences function. And that applies to everyone, including me.
Been having this crazy thought recently.....were the Nazis secretly based and people just don't know?
>>23308719>humanity is a despicable form of an animal that is purely egoisticalMidwit opinion. Man is the center of the universe. Macrocosm-Microcosm : save oneself - save the world. Basically the secret of the Grail. The profane wouldn't get it. >>23308065>but he didn't wish to eradicate them.Neither did Hitler re: (((them))), nor did he come close to achieving that aim. Take your simple TV opinions back to r*ddit please. If I want dumbshit, passe takes on things I can ask my aunt. >>23306256That's just the commonly-agreed upon consensus worldview, which is funded big billions of dollars for decades, and is illegal to question in most places. Do you actually think this is what happened? why is there no material evidence? for the first time in history, we are supposed to just "know" that it happened the way they say, despite all evidence to the contrary. I have talked to multiple PhDs in history who say the official estimates are way too high today (even after they were lowered), but they aren't going to say anything because they will quite literally have their livelihoods destroyed. Then there are the endless lies that have provably been published (masturbation death machines, roller coasters in to fire pits, etc.)...many people aren't satisfied by just hearing what the "trusted sources" tell us, since we've realized how much they lie about. You're not on that level of awareness yet. There is a global awakening taking place, planets are literally aligning.
Are Volker Ulrich's Hitler bios any good? I want to read a good bio on Hitler's rise to power and time as a leader before the war but I'm not too sure what to read.
>>23308797>Man is the center of the universe. Macrocosm-MicrocosmIn what way? Arts, crafts, culture and history can get you so far. Even war could be argued as a form if art seeing how some warlords were smart and creative with their environment.But there are many stuff that just suck.Destruction of the environment, destruction of the culture, radicalism (todats radicalism, not even back in 60s was it this bad), culture war. And yes this is mostly the west, but that is sadly being called the centre of the world. Again I just might be overtly negative from twitterfags making the worst opinions on the planet.
>>23308797There's actually plenty of material evidence about what took place; details may be off, exaggerated or even fabricated here or there, but the pogroms, the atmosphere, the camps and the subhumanization combined with mass death, none of that is without plenty of evidence. Was it 6 million or was it 200,000? That doesn't really interest me, my motivations don't sway toward a place where something like that would be of importance. Evidently, yours do. As you say, these things are backed by consensus, in terms of narrative basis. And consensus is backed by not only what is "known;" but by what one is aiming at. The consensus you subscribe to, has a need for invalidating the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany, so no evidence will really satisfy you. That type of evidence doesn't comply with your aim. I guess I wouldn't I understand the enlightened perspective that goes along with being a Nazi, I'm too, what was it? "Profane?" I'm too profane to not understand the merits of racial supremacy and extermination rhetoric, combined with action. Too simple minded to understand the glory of mass murder.

>>23308883Indirectly related to Hitler. Book on British war veteran's opinions and views on post-war early 21st century Britain. More people expressed a regret for having not fought for Hitler, than did express positive opinions on what Britain had become.
>>23306251>The idea of him as a cartoon super-villain hellbent on world domination and genociding all non-blonde-blue-eyed people is just what it sounds like—a caricature. This is the real world, and super-villains like that don't exist. Though it would definitely be convenient for a pure good vs evil narrative.I don't believe that true evil exists, but I do believe that true good exists. But yeah, some people, like Ted Bundy, for example, ought to be considered truly evil. So, it does exist, but it's rare and fleeting. The vast majority of evil people are so due to their circumstances, and some people can't become evil no matter their circumstances. Hitler, I believe, could've been good, if not for his circumstances. He had a hard, painful life. His failure as an artist, despite his talent, was likely the most significant of his hardships.Naïve?
>>23306546>NapoleonHe wasn't that bad, to be fair, he wasn't good either.
>>23306242>Western world didn't send a generation of men overseas to fight StalinBut that was the whole point of sending Americans to Europe
>>23310762>He wasn't that badTell that to a peasant whose entire village starved to death because Napoleon took all of their food reserves to feed his army.
>>23310777>But that was the whole point of sending Americans to EuropeNo it wasn't.
>>23310762That man brought the Revolution to all of Europe. Not mention that he destroyed it first.
>>23306226What the fuck are you smoking? I'd love tonkkow what sources have led you to those conclusions. In the inflammatory era, before his election, there was a solid mix of (righteous) resentment over Versailles, jewish revolutionaries, bolshevism, etc... however, much of the propaganda was extremely positive. This is particularly true when after his election he massively increased working and loving conditions of the average german, and attempted to remove class barriers within the Reich
>>23306953
>>23311091A great reading list. Should be required reading in high school but the world is to decadant now. Do not however forget your physical strength. Only stróng men will lead the way
>>23305522He didn't want to save the Germans. We wanted to kill the Jews because he believed his father was a product of rape. His grandmother was a housekeeper and Hitler's father was a bastard of an unknown father.Hitler believed this man that impregnated his grandmother was Jewish because he couldn't believe a German or Austrian man would do that. In any case his goal was to destroy evil and create a world in which his father isn't born and thus he doesn't suffer the childhood he did.He hated himself and wanted to destroy the world that created him.
>>23311355A world were his grandmother is a maid in a Jewish household and give birth to a bastard that becomes an extremely bitter and abusive man.
>>23306226Nazism was about destroying cosmopolitanism.
>>23311091It's going to take me a years to read the ones I want to read here. Look good. I thought the Table Talks were of dubious authenticity?
>>23312627Bormann said he typed everything out while he was in the room as notes, later he said (or it was revealed) that some were typed afterwards. So it's a fine source for the general gist of the table talks
>>23307017That only seems evil to you because you are so detached from your people and don't understand what it means to love your own people (if you have any). What they were saying, especially Himmler, was extremely noble. The only thing I resent the NSDAP for was for sacrificing so many of their own people for what was ultimately always a foregone conclusion: losing the war. They didn't commit atrocities out of hatred but out of love for their own people. Universal love for humanity is pure naivete. Those men understood power and how the world actually works and did what they could to protect their country and elevate the German people to the heights they knew they could ascend to. Is it incorrect that Germans are exceptional? Compared to the Russian people? Not at all. We all recognize their superiority in certain matters (mostly technical and philosophical) and there's nothing wrong with that. It's healthy to acknowledge reality. It's also healthy and natural to have disdain for outsiders, especially when they threaten your very existence as a people. Your fundamental outlook on life promotes mediocrity and allows the worst types of people to gain power.
>>23307017>Holocaust deniers
You MUST watch Zoomer Historian on youtube he just did an excellent Biography series on Dolfie
>>23312627No need to read all that. Go look up Zoomer Historian on YT
>>23308823>>23309751Sorry for spamming and I don't usually use this site but to the first anon check out Zoomer Historian AH series on YT and to the second anon Zoomer literally just did a video with the second book yesterday in honor of AH's birthday
>>23313423>>23313432I'm surprised he's still on youtube. I just wish he added more sources in his video, for it adds a lot more credibility (for example, book+chatpter/page number, link though preferably not to sites that a NPC will dismiss instantly like CODOH). Virtually everything he says is-true/I-agree-with.
>>23313456I wondered that too. But I think he doesn't add the sources because his source is mostly David Irving and sometimes others like Richard Tedor. And seeing these sources it would be very easy for the detractors to instantly accuse him of being a holabunga denier or something similar. I think he's clever for that if that's really the reason
>>23313189>Universal love for humanity is pure naivete.At night, when you lay your head down to sleep, does the erosion of your soul haunt you?
>>23313500lmao. You don't love humanity universally. You simply lie to yourself about the lines you've drawn and hedge with some nonsense like "hate the sin, love the sinner" (but with terminology appropriate for your worldview).
>>23313532I do love humanity universally. Don't project.
>>23313536oh, I forgot the possibility of your idiosyncratic definition of love being so vapid and diffuse that it's as meaningless as just wishing everyone good vibes.It's not projection. You simply have no concept of love.
>>23313565Love means good intention backed by action. It doesn't mean anything else. What you think love is, is ego.
>>23313475Right, but to a NPC he probably just sounds like a guy saying stuff i.e. making stuff up. One has to understand how strong the indoctrination goes in the other direction. To stay on youtube he definitely should avoid citing pariahs like say Irving or Mattongo (I doubt he'll ever touch the Holowhatever), but sourcing Buchanan, AJP Taylor, Sean McMeekin etc. should be okay.
>>23313574>has idiosyncratic definition>literally cannot love humanity universally by own idiosyncratic definitionOh, you're just an idiot. I was giving you credit and thinking you naïve.
>>23313590And you...don't have an idiosyncratic definition?>my definition of love is objective>no its not ego. It's objective>what's an ego?Geez Louise. Thats quite a humdinger. Must be strange going through life, eyes wide shut.
>>23313600cute attempt to shift topics away from how you cannot possibly love universally by your own definition.Note that I'm not the one who asserted that I love humanity universally. You are. You were called out for that bit of fluff. You try to make me the topic of conversation. You then provide a definition that makes it wholly impossible to love humanity universally, and then you again try to put the spotlight back on me as a dodge to how you are fundamentally lying to yourself and everyone else about your views of humanity while putting yourself up on a pedestal to look down on others for admitting the truth that they don't do the thing you falsely claim to do.Must be super embarrassing. Good thing this is an anonymous board.
>>23313621I'm not looking down on you, I just think you're silly. It's okay. I still love you.
>>23313630>I'm not looking down on youhuge lie #2 >>23313500>does the erosion of your soul haunt you?-- you have a huge issue with the truth and/or revealing any truly held opinion of yours to the world, even with the cloak of anonymity. You're super broken.
>>23313581Surprisingly there aren't too many detractors in the comment sections. The response is mostly positive. Even normies can't afford to be retarded anymore these says with machete welding somalians around it seems
>>23313621>>23313630Are you two going to kiss now? What a bunch of faggots arguing like retards
>>23313640I am not a stranger to having ideas like this, I held them in the past. They eroded my soul, and at some point I realized I had the wrong ideas. That was my experience. I'm not looking down on you, it's really quite the opposite. I think you are probably better than that. I think Hitler was probably better than that, too. If you feel looked down upon, it's not me that's looking down on you. I think you're just a fellow human being. As for what you've charged me with; do I get frustrated with people and curse them out? Less than I used to, but sometimes I do. Do I hug and kiss a man who just tried to rob me in the street, humiliated me in front of my woman? No. But I don't hate him. I protect myself without resentment, as much as possible. This is an ideal I hold because it reflects the world I'd like to see, and the truest expression of my hearts desire. When I don't follow it, I feel an incongruence. An erosion of my soul, because I'm living a lie. That's all.
>>23313679not hating != love, even by your definition.not loving someone != resenting them or hating them.Even without introducing nuances to an idea like love or hate, apathy is a thing.When a cyclone fucks up Malaysia, I think it sucks for them and hate they're dealing with it, and then they drop out of my thoughts. This isn't love. It's only barely a passing concern. I don't wish anything in particular bad on them and generally hope their lives don't suck for the tiny amounts of time they pop up in my attention, but again, this is not love. To categorize such as love is beyond foolish, but equally, to call such detachment resentment/hate/some other negative is also beyond foolish. As stated earlier, you simply have no concept of love.
>>23313189Sometimes I too become resentful over the amount of people NSDAP was willing to sacrifice. Somehow I think if they could see the absolute near zero birthrate in Germany Russia now they would be horrified. At the end liberal democracy came closer to making extinction of Germans and Germany than communism ever could
>>23313753They knew that losing this war would mean the end of Germany. Hence why the fought effectively to the last man. I don't think anything will happen; the forces at play are too strong. But the stakes are so very high for Ancient Germany.
>>23313745I dont agree. I think those tiny moments of passing concern you mentioned, spring forth from love. I don't think love in the sense of total dedication, like you're hinting at, is love, I think it's ego attachment. I'm presuming, so you can tell me if this is wrong, but based on what you've said, seems like love to you is something personal. Like, the love you have for your mother, or your wife, or your children; you love them, where as the people in Malaysia, you may feel bad for them, but you wouldn't do for them what you would for your immediate kin, so you don't love them. I do not agree. I think the love you feel for your immediate kin, is ego attachment, and the concern you feel for the Malaysians, is love, even if you let it pass away quickly. True love is beyond ego attachment.
>>23313784It was impossible to win after a certain point. Still they kept going..while i admire that I mourn the hundreds of thousands of German lives that could be saved.

>>23305539Just a quote I want to share from this book (reading it right now)>There were a lot of such houses in which he took a constant interest. He dragged me along wherever there was a building going up. He felt responsible for everything that was being built. But even more than with these concrete examples was he taken up with the vast schemes that he himself originated. Here his mania for change knew no limit. At first I watched these goings-on with some misgiving and wondered why he so obstinately occupied himself with plans which, I thought, would never come to anything. But the more remote the realisation of a project was, the more did he steep himself in it. To him these projects were in every detail as actual as though they were already executed and the whole town rebuilt according to his design. I often got confused and could not distinguish whether he was talking about a building that existed or one that was to be created. But to him it did not make any difference; the actual construction was only a matter of secondary importance.>Nowhere is his unshakeable consistency more evident. What the fifteen-year-old planned, the fifty-year-old carried out, often, as for instance in the case of the new bridge over the Danube, as faithfully as though only a few weeks, instead of decades, lay between planning and execution. The plan existed; then came influence and power and the plan became reality. This happened with uncanny regularity, as though the fifteen-year-old had taken it for granted that one day he would possess the necessary power and means. This is just too much for me to take in. I cannot conceive that such a thing is possible. One is tempted to use the word ‘miracle’, because there is no rational explanation for it.>Indeed, the plans which that unknown boy had drawn up for the rebuilding of his home town Linz, are identical to the last detail with the town planning scheme which was inaugurated after 1938. I am almost afraid of giving, in the following pages, my account of these early plans, lest my veracity should be suspected. And yet every single syllable of what I am going to recount is true.

>>23312627>I thought the Table Talks were of dubious authenticity?It is always christcucks who dislike what the Fuhrer said about their religion (and liberal atheists who want to link Hitler to christcuckery) who make this claim. Sure, we need to be wary of translations, and can't take them as being what Hitler said verbatim, but the idea that they are just a complete fabrication is retarded. For what it's worth, both Albert Speer and David Irving have defended the authenticity of the Table Talk.
