Did Adolf Hitler die a virgin?

Our first evidence to support this,

No he didn't!!! Otherwise how did he get syphalis?? I am not going to reveal the mysteries of the Fuhrer's sex life, that's not very kind. But I'll tell you now... he wasn't a virgin. So ignore the media rubbish.

So did Adolf Hitler really gotten syphilis?

Syphilis- a S.T.D or sexually transmitted disease, which if left untreated, can cause madness.

That brings us to our next evidence,

"

In 1908 at a young age Adolph Hitler contracted syphilis from an encounter with a prostitute. In that year the disease was not yet totally treatable. Known to be syphilitic by his close associates; his disease was kept secret and hidden from the public.

At some point an attempt was made to remove one of his testicles to treat the disease. Anger and resentment at having the disease and the perception of a destroyed sex life with women; and a certain early, disfiguring death; set him on a dangerous unsmiling course to, in his mind, destroy the scourge and its perceived causes. Whole chapters in his later biograpy were devoted to the destruction of the disease and of the groups he believed caused the infection. His personal physician Dr. Theo Morell was an expert in the treatment of syphilis and tried many different approaches to the spectrum of strange symptoms exhibited by his patient. Facial lesions can be seen in some early photographs, and no photos exist of the German leader in bathing suit attire revealing bodily skin. In later years; the tertiary stage of syphilis set in causing insanity. With the advent of penicillin; the bacterial scourge became treatable. There is speculation that the angry swastika on red was symbolic of a spirochete encased in a red field of blood -Hitler's attempt to communicate subtly that his blood had been infected or spoiled by the disease.

"

And also,

"
On October 13, 1918, Adolf Hitler was temporarily blinded by a mustard gas attack while on duty as a corporal during the Great War. Years later Hitler's head of the SS, Heinrich Himmler, discovered a medical record of Hitler while he was hospitalized for the gas attack. The report noted various symptoms of syphilis were already present in the young Hitler..
"
Lastly, to wrap it up,

"
Hitler's friend Putzi Hanfstaengl said that a Jewish prostitute infected the nineteen-year-old Hitler with syphilis during 1908 in Vienna, a claim disputed by numerous authors including Brigitte Hamann (Hitler's Vienna) who wrote that Hitler was not in Vienna but Linz at the time and had a syphilis test in 1940 that had a negative result. [ii] However, it is known that Hitler spent a considerable amount of time in some of the seedier parts of Vienna during his latter teens. In 1936, Hitler hired a personal doctor to attend to his needs. This private physician was known as a speicalist in syphilis and reported seeing symptoms of syphilis in Hitler,specifically shin lesions and gastric crises.
"

Therefore, we have sufficient reliable evidence that Adolf Hitler did not die a virgin.

Is Hitler a vegetarian?

While reading about Hitler, I saw many people asking whether Hitler was a vegetarian. So, I decided to answer the question based on the source below.

Source
An article from May 30, 1937, 'At Home with The Fuhrer' says, "It is well known that Hitler is a vegetarian and does not drink or smoke. His lunch and dinner consist, therefore, for the most part of soup, eggs, vegetables and mineral water, although he occasionally relishes a slice of ham and relieves the tediousness of his diet with such delicacies as caviar ..."
Source from: http://michaelbluejay.com/veg/hitler.html

From the source above, ”it is well known that Hitler is a vegetarian” shows that Hitler is a vegetarian. However “he occasionally relishes a slice of ham” prove that Hitler is not a vegetarian.

Some people would say that it is normal for people who make extreme change in their diet to “occasionally” suffer from a lack of willpower during which they will temporarily revert to their old eating habits. But I think if he is still known as a “vegetarian” who eats meat occasionally, it is like someone saying “I don’t rob the bank, I only rob the bank occasionally”.

Therefore I believe and do not agree with the source above that Hitler is not a vegetarian.

Why did Herr Adolf Hitler Declare War on the United States of America?



Effects of the First World War

The "Great War" escalated into the global conflict that it became due to entangling treaties of the European countries. Military treaties are pretty basic like alliance. What started out as a political crisis due to the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand escalated into armed conflict when the large nations came to the defence of the smaller nations in the Balkans though these alliances.

Military treaties took on a more serious note starting in the early 1800s. The military treaties were created for very specific reasons, intently enforced, and advertised to other nations to an extent seldom seen since 1980. The active solicitation, enforcement, and advertisement of signed treaties are why smaller countries allied themselves with the larger ones: to help guarantee their protection from their neighbours. The smaller countries alliance was done to try and ensure that no neighbouring country would dare attack them since it would bring in a very large country on their side which would then easily defeat the aggressor. However, the Balkan nations animosity toward each other stretched back hundreds of years and when these deep rooted fears, slights, religious differences, were brought to the forefront by the assassination, the worry of escalating into a larger conflict was not considered by these small countries: it was time to enforce the treaties signed over the previous decades.

Thus, when Austria-Hungarian Empire started military action the entangling treaties were honoured by each nation which resulted in every nation but seven in Europe fighting in the Great War.



Fear of War

These new nations to the east and south of Germany had defense treaties with the Western powers. They were explicitly written to ensure that Germany did not invade them else France and Britain, would invade Germany. With the German Weimar Republic restricted to 100,000 troops due to the Treaty of Versailles, and no restriction on the size of the Anglo-French armies, any attack by Germany using these troops would result in the quick military defeat of Germany by a half million man (or larger) force coming from the west.

The scope of the fighting in The Great War (only later referred to as World War One) was immense both in the losses of personnel, plus the monetary cost to pay for it, was a great inhibitor to the western nations. The politicians in charge in France and England (United Kingdom) especially, were very afraid of having another social and economic cost put onto their nations again. Politically they would lose their jobs. This was because many citizens were disillusioned with their leadership in the war, so the politicians in charge strove to avoid direct confrontation with Germany.



Adolf Hitler's Political Mind Set

When Adolf Hitler became the legal Chancellor of Germany in 1933, he immediately began to exploit this fear that the west had of a new war. Herr Hitler (as Winston Churchill often referred to him during the early part of the conflict) was a natural political risk taker, but he was keenly aware of the social fears of the politicians of the western nations about a new war.

Some of Hitler's ideas of what the west would do in a political situation were wishful thinking, some were confirmed based on the initial treaty violation gambles that the Hitler (legally Germany was still a Republic, but operationally it was a dictatorship) violated which were won. These initial political ploys, and the resulting successes, reinforced his initial mind set of the political will of the west so that in Herr Hitler's mental mind it became a fact as to what the west would always do in a future political or military crisis.

How did Hitler died?

Hitler, Adolf (1889-1945)

In The Death of Adolf Hitler (Harcourt, Brace & World; $3.95), Author Bezymenski, now a Soviet journalist, says that on May 4, 1945, a Soviet private came across two partially burned, badly disfigured bodies in a shell crater outside the Führerbunker. The Russians, having mistaken another corpse for Hitler's, at first buried the two bodies, but unearthed them again when a Soviet counterintelligence officer had second thoughts. On May 8, a team of Russian forensic experts performed autopsies in a Berlin hospital mortuary. Their full reports are reproduced verbatim in grisly detail that even notes the discovery that Hitler had only one testicle. Glass splinters, apparently from poison ampoules, were found in the mouths of both bodies. There were no visible gunshot wounds—although part of Hitler's cranium was missing—and "the marked smell of bitter almonds and the presence of cyanide compounds in internal organs" led the Soviet doctors to conclude that the deaths of both Hitler and Eva were caused by cyanide. A meticulous comparison of Hitler's dental records and the teeth found on the corpse convinced the Soviets that they had found the body of the Führer. Eva was similarly identified. Stalin showed "considerable interest in the fate of Hitler," Bezymenski observes with seemingly unconscious irony. Yet the Soviets kept their findings secret. The Kremlin wanted to hold the autopsy reports back, the author claims, "in case someone might try to slip into the role of 'the Führer saved by a miracle,' " and to continue the investigation in order to rule out all possibility of error. Clearly, neither reason matters any longer—as proved by the fact that Bezymenski was allowed to publish his book. (Source: http://www.time.com/)


What is the truth? We still don’t know,.

Enough lies and contradictions have been put forth concerning the death of Hitler and Eva Braun, and the disposal of their bodies, that speculation about how and if Hitler died persist to this day.

Some of the theories/ variations include:

1. He ate poison and shot himself at the same time.
2. He ate poison, but didn't shoot himself.
3. He shot himself, but didn't take poison.
4. One of Hitler's supposed "doubles" was killed, creating the illusion Hitler was dead, allowing the "real" Adolf Hitler to escape.
5. Somebody else killed Hitler.

At one time or another, Stalin/the Russians claimed:

A. Hitler escaped alive from Berlin.
B. Hitler's corpse was found and seized by the Russians.
C. Hitler, alive, was transported to the Soviet Union and kept there, secretly, for years.

Talk about covering all the options. The only concept that the Russians didn't put forth was: a guy named Adolf Hitler never existed. (Source: http://greyfalcon.us)

IS HITLER GAY?

Have you been wondering whether Hitler is a gay? Let’s discuss about this! J

Eyewitness accounts from Hitler's former lovers, and historical documents that for the first time illuminate rumours that have circulated for over half a century, are disclosed in Hitler's Secret: The Double Life of a Dictator .

The respected German historian Lothar Machtan even claims in his book that Hitler ordered the deaths of several high-ranking Nazis to prevent the secret of his homosexuality from surfacing.

Ernst Röhm, the leader of Hitler's Sturm Abteilung or Storm Troopers, tried to blackmail Hitler by threatening to reveal his sexuality. Röhm, who was also gay, was murdered as a result, according to Machtan, a history teacher at Bremen University.

Hitler quit school at age 16 and in 19 moved to Vienna, where he twice took and failed the Art Academy's entrance examination. Shortly after his move, August Kubizek, a young man from his hometown, joined him and they lived together for four months. Intensely jealous, Hitler wrote Kubizek, "I cannot endure it when you consort and converse with other young people."

Hitler's adolescent move to sexually liberated Vienna -- so new to him and so different from home -- and his open choice there of homosexuality calls to mind the choice involved in what Charles Socarides calls America's "Thanksgiving Day Massacre." His book, Homosexuality: A Freedom Too Far, describes that "massacre" as when a college freshman, home for the first time after months at a sexually liberated college, joyfully informs his startled parents, "Hey Mom, hey Dad! Be thankful! I have something to tell you. I'm gay!” (His declaration to his parents, admitting the fact that he’s gay, would have convinced us much. But well, I believe having more concrete evidence could better off pull this fact that, Hitler is gay)

For the next several years, Hitler drifted aimlessly. Despite immense Nazi efforts to erase as much of his past as possible (by destroying his massive police records, for example) Machtan dug out clear evidence of Hitler's homosexual activities during this period, such as his five months at a men's hostel known as "a hub of homosexual activity." He formed close attachments to several men, but throughout his life was uninterested in relationships with women.

This image shows Hitler kissing a man. Hitler, the man on the right with black hair and moustache is being portrayed in this cartoon as being a, gay. He is being shown clearly and evidently to kissing a man. As found in the dictionary, the definition of gay is homosexual., indicating, or supporting homosexual interests or issues with the person of the same gender. There is no doubt that it’s a man that Hitler is kissing. This act displays homosexual interest with the person of the same gender. Therefore, from this picture I can infer that Hitler is a gay.

This pictures shows Hitler in a wedding gown, displaying him as bride being wedded to a man. Based on my knowledge, I know that Hitler is a man. Therefore this picture shows an unusual relationship between Hitler and the man. Both of them are men, yet wedded to one another. Usually, we will see a female structure in a wedding gown instead of a man but yet, this picture shows that of otherwise. Wedding as stated in the dictionary, is an act if a promise, an inseperable bond and only happens between lovers. From this. I can conclude that, Hitler is a gay. From the picture above, I also see a caption: “ Wonder how long the honeymoon will last? “ This tells me that the person who said this have the intention of letting this honeymoon last forever. From their faces that are plastered with smiles, I awfully feel that they’re happy to be able to wed with one another. And therefore, based on this picture, I agree that Hitler is gay.

IS THAT HITLER?!? Hitler is a gay!

What was Hitler’s character as a leader?

First of all, Hitler rose to power by political means and machinations, and when he had consolidated his influence enough, he used force to mount the remaining steps to absolute control of Germany. He was a dictator and he rules by force. Although he was an awful man, people still followed him as he was a strong extremist patriot, and this is what Germany thought they needed. They thought that Germany was going to fail under the Weimar government and they needed a strong dictator to get them back on their feet. People were also afraid of him, as they knew what he and the Nazi party could do to them. The Germans followed Hitler because he was promising what they wanted, after the treaty of Versailles, their economy was terrible. Hitler promised to take them out of their depression and he kept his promise, making Germany a power house. Although he was mad, he was brilliant. The League of Nations had imposed such overwhelming sanctions against Germany following WWI that the German people were already suffering financially at the beginning of the Great Depression, and then things got worse. Promising to make things better, Hitler found a group of people on whom he could blame all of the problems (the Jews) and told everyone that he was locking them up for the good of the nation. The image of Hitler as a meddler in military operations is powerful and persistent. He was also stubborn, distrusted his generals and relied too much on his own
instinct. Hitler was, first and foremost, determined to command personally. At each level, the superior was to give the orders the subordinates to follow them to the letter. As time went on he took over positions that gave him ever more direct control.

Hitler was also known as a “passionate lunatic” who did his best for the rebuilding of Germany. Besides that, Hitler was also known as a strong leader to rule over the German territory. His abusive father also caused him to become a cold, hard person who was very focused on whatever he was doing. Some of the Germans also considered him a true dictator. When he sees the opportunity, he acts swiftly, forcibly. He uses frenzy and temper tantrums as a weapon. However, this does not prevent him from thinking, pondering, estimating chances. His political instinct is very real and will inspire him and bring him success more than once in the management of the war. Not only that, Hitler was also a charismatic leader. He was capable in convincing others that he would bring back political and economical stability in Germany.

Hitler was also a talented speaker. He had strong self-confidence and that made him able to speak very well in front of the public. People were often awed by his speeches as though Hitler used his magic charm to make the Germans believed him so much. In addition to that, Hitler’s voice had a unique tone and he spoke with great spirit of confidence. Hitler was therefore known as a great leader of Germany.

What was the reason for the rise of Hitler to power in Germany?

Hitler’s abilities played a part for the rise of Hitler to power in Germany. Hitler used his abilities and took advantage of the opportunities present to rise to power. Hitler became the leader of the German Worker’s Party soon after joining the party in 1920. He was an excellent speaker and charismatic leader. He was a charismatic speaker ad people would listen to him talk for hours because he seemed to understand their problems. Hitler told them what they wanted to hear. He had the natural ability to captures people’s attention with his public speaking skills. He was able to inspire confidence and beliefs among Germans that he could be the one to lead Germany out of its problems.

Hitler promised every class of people something. The middle class, employment, lower prices and higher income; the military he vowed that he would restore Germany to its former glory and the industrialist, improve production and protection from the communists. He also promised Germany that he would do away with the Treaty of Versailles, set up a powerful central government and to take away all German citizenship from all Jews. As Hitler was a very powerful speaker and had charismatic personality, the disillusioned Germans were convinced by promises.

HOW DID HITLER RISE?

Weakness in the Weimar Government too aided in the rise of Hitler. The Weimar government was made up of different parties and all had different goals and ideas for the progress in the country, thus they are prone to conflicts when crisis arose when they don’t see things eye to eye. This resulted in the government being weak and leading to the diminish support they had from their people. Germans wanted stable and decisive rulers, which were the opposite of what the Weimar government comprised. During that time, communism was also spreading rapidly round Europe. Fearing that Germany would also fall in being a communist country, they signed an agreement to be a democratic country. Soon after that, enmity among the people enhanced, the people were tired of being amidst of misery, and being weak and blamed all these sufferings to the Weimar. Hitler then stand up and assured the people he would end the sufferings. When he did it, people looked up on him thus ease off his goal to be the ruler of Germany.
–BERNICE

When the stock market collapsed, it sent financial markets worldwide into a tailspin with disastrous effects. The Germany economy was especially vulnerable since it was built out of foreign capital, mostly loans from America and was very dependent on foreign trade. When those loans suddenly came due and when the world market for German exports dried up, the well-oiled German industrial machine quickly ground to a halt. Production levels fell causing German workers to be laid off. Along with this, banks failed throughout Germany. Savings accounts were instantly wiped out and inflation soon followed making it hard for families to purchase expensive necessities with devalued money. The Great Depression began and most Germans were cast into poverty and deep misery. This is when Adolf Hitler knew that his opportunity had arrived. Before the Great Depression, the Nazi party experienced slow growth barely reaching100, 000 members. Despite its tiny size, it was tightly controlled and highly disciplined organization of fanatics poised to spring into action. Since the failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, Hitler had changed tactics and was for the most part playing by the rules of democracy. He had gambled in 1923, attempting to overthrow the young German democracy by force, and lost. Now he was determined to overthrow it legally by getting elected while at the same time building a Nazi shadow government that would one day replace the democracy.
-EUNICE

During the rise of Hitler, he had a few chances to make speeches, in fact the speeches were made to a whole mass of audiences. This shows the amount of courage he has as a leader. He spoke with a lot of confidence and power which led to the people in believing that he could make a difference, Germany could become a better place under his rule. He was very manipulative and the people believed in him. This helped him to convey the message to the Germans that he will help them as much as possible to get what they want, with then believing. Overall, his manipulative speeches have helped him in achieving his goals.

Is Hitler the most evil man in history? Or is there anybody as evil or more evil than him?

Hitler only killed specific groups. He targeted the Jews as they seemed to be the cause of Germany being an
empoverished state.The Jews were taking over businesses and shops, leaving many German shop owners and
businessmen bankrupt. Unlike Hitler, Stalin only targeted his enemies, but also killed a large number of
people. On top of that, he killed his own people as well. Pol Pot was a more cruel ruler. He killed many of
his own people for minuscule reasons. Because of Pol Pot, many Cambodians suffered, as well as their economy.
Therefore Hitler is not the most cruel man as there are many people, other than him that kill others. Hitler
was just a German one.
