Sarah - All The Book Blog Names Are Taken’s Reviews > The Hitler I Knew: The Memoirs of the Third Reich's Press Chief > Status Update

The author constantly referring to Hitler’s “demonic personality“ is such bullshit. Hitler was a monster, there is nothing demonic about it. And to say that there was is an unspoken attempt to absolve Hitler of the atrocities committed for him, in his name.

“All along Hitler has stood for a purely constructive, peaceful policy drawn along racial lines.“

Um, no. He did not.

“Undoubtedly Hitler was already thinking of rearming, Germany, but this, by no means implies that he was planning war.”

Fuck all the way off.

“He repeatedly expressed his distaste for acts of revenge on the part of the SA; in an order issued to Röhm he forbade excesses.“

Yet you literally said a few pages back that Hitler believed in violence, absolutely as the mark of power and intimidation, and how you got people to do what you wanted. I don’t think I’m going be able to finish this bullshit.

“Hitler also presented the solution of the Jewish question on a humanitarian basis. There was no talk at all of extermination of the Jewish race.“

There shouldn’t have been a “Jewish question“ to begin with you fucking douche bag.
