The central figure in the history of the first half of the 20th century, the main instigator of the Second World War, the perpetrator of the Holocaust, the founder of totalitarianism in Germany and in the territories it occupied. And it's all one person. How Hitler died: did he take poison, shoot himself, or die a very old man? This question has been troubling historians for almost 70 years.

Childhood and youth

The future dictator was born on April 20, 1889 in the city of Braunau an der Inn, which was at that time in Austria-Hungary. From 1933 until the end of World War II, Hitler's birthday was a public holiday in Germany.

Adolf's family was low-income: mother - Clara Pelzl - a peasant woman, father - Alois Hitler - was at first a shoemaker, but eventually began to work in customs. After the death of her husband, Clara and her son lived quite comfortably, dependent on relatives.

From childhood, Adolf showed a talent for drawing. In his youth, he studied music. He especially liked the works of the German composer W. R. Wagner. Every day he visited theaters and coffee houses, read adventure novels and German mythology, loved to walk around Linz, adored picnics and sweets. But the most favorite pastime still remained drawing, which later Hitler began to earn his living.

Military service

During the First World War, the future Fuhrer of Germany voluntarily joined the ranks of the soldiers of the German army. At first he was a private, later - a corporal. During the fighting he was wounded twice. At the end of the war, he was awarded the Iron Cross, first and second class.

Defeat German Empire Hitler took 1918 as a knife in his own back, because he was always confident in the greatness and invincibility of his country.

Rise of the Nazi dictator

After the failure of the German army, he returned to Munich and joined the German armed forces - the Reichswehr. Later, on the advice of his closest comrade E. Röhm, he became a member of the German Workers' Party. Instantly pushing its founders into the background, Hitler became the head of the organization.

About a year later, it is renamed the National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany (German abbreviation - NSDAP). It was then that Nazism began to emerge. The program points of the party reflected the main ideas of A. Hitler to restore the state power of Germany:

The assertion of the supremacy of the German Empire over Europe, especially over the Slavic lands;

Liberation of the country's territory from foreigners, namely from Jews;

Replacing the parliamentary regime with one leader who would concentrate power over the entire country in his hands.

In 1933, these points will find their place in his autobiography "Mein Kampf", which means "My struggle" in German.

Power

Thanks to the NSDAP, Hitler quickly became a well-known politician, whose opinion other figures began to reckon with.

On November 8, 1923, a meeting was held in Munich at which the leader of the National Socialists announced the beginning of the German revolution. During the so-called beer putsch it was necessary to destroy the traitorous power of Berlin. When he led his like-minded people to the square to storm administrative building, german army opened fire on them. At the beginning of 1924, a trial of Hitler and his associates took place, they were given 5 years in prison. However, they were released after only nine months.

Due to their prolonged absence, a split occurred in the NSDAP. The future Fuhrer with his allies E. Rehm and G. Strasser revived the party, but not as a former regional, but as a national political power. In early 1933, German President Hindenburg appointed Hitler to the post of Reich Chancellor. From that moment on, the Prime Minister began to implement the program points of the NSDAP. By order of Hitler, his comrades Rehm, Strasser and many others were killed.

The Second World War

Until 1939, the millionth German Wehrmacht split Czechoslovakia, annexed Austria and the Czech Republic. Having secured the consent of Joseph Stalin, Hitler launched a war against Poland, as well as England and France. Having achieved successful results at this stage, the Fuhrer entered the war with the USSR.

The defeat of the Soviet army at first led to the seizure by Germany of the territories of Ukraine, the Baltic states, Russia and others. union republics. A regime of tyranny was established on the annexed lands, which had no equal. However, from 1942 to 1945, the Soviet army liberated its territories from the German invaders, as a result of which the latter were forced to retreat to their borders.

Fuhrer's death

A common version of the following events is Hitler's suicide on April 30, 1945. But did it happen? And was the leader of Germany at all in Berlin at that time? realizing that German troops be defeated again, he could have traveled out of the country before Soviet army will capture her.

Until now, for historians and ordinary people, the mystery of the death of the German dictator is interesting and mysterious: where, when and how Hitler died. To date, there are many hypotheses about this.

Version one. Berlin

The capital of Germany, a bunker under the Reich Chancellery - it is here, as is commonly believed, that A. Hitler shot himself. He made the decision to commit suicide on the afternoon of April 30, 1945, in connection with the end of the assault on Berlin by the army of the Soviet Union.

Close people of the dictator and his companion Eva Braun claimed that he himself fired a pistol into his mouth. The woman, as it turned out a little later, poisoned herself and the shepherd with potassium cyanide. Witnesses also reported what time Hitler died: the shot was fired by him between 15:15 and 15:30.

Eyewitnesses of the picture made the only, in their opinion, the right decision - to burn the corpses. Since the territory outside the bunker was continuously shelled, Hitler's henchmen hastily carried the bodies to the surface of the earth, doused them with gasoline and set them on fire. The fire barely flared up and soon went out. The process was repeated a couple of times until the bodies were charred. In the meantime, the artillery shelling intensified. The footman and Hitler's adjutant hurriedly covered the remains with earth and returned to the bunker.

On May 5, the Soviet military discovered the dead bodies of the dictator and his mistress. Their attendants hid in the premises of the Reich Chancellery. The servant was captured for interrogation. Chefs, lackeys, guards and others claimed that they saw someone being taken out of the dictator's private quarters, but the USSR intelligence never received clear answers to the question of how Adolf Hitler died.

A few days later Soviet secret services located the corpse and proceeded to its immediate examination, but it also did not give positive results, because the remains found on more burned badly. The only way identification remained only the jaws, which are well preserved.

Intelligence found and interrogated Hitler's dental assistant, Ketty Goizerman. From specific dentures and fillings, the Frau determined that the jaw belonged to the late Fuhrer. Even later, the Chekists found a prosthetist, Fritz Echtmann, who confirmed the words of the assistant.

In November 1945, Arthur Axman, one of the participants in that very meeting held on April 30 in the bunker, was detained, where it was decided to burn the bodies of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. His story in detail coincided with the testimony given by the servants a few days after such a significant event in the history of the end of World War II - the fall of the capital of Nazi Germany, Berlin.

Then the remains were packed in boxes and buried near Berlin. Later, they were dug up several times and buried again, changing their location. Later, the government of the USSR decided to cremate the bodies and scatter the ashes to the wind. The only thing left for the KGB archive is the jaw and part of the skull ex-fuhrer Germany, which was hooked by a bullet.

The Nazi could have survived

The question of how Hitler died, in fact, is still open. After all, could the witnesses (mostly allies and assistants of the dictator) give false information in order to lead the Soviet special services astray? Certainly.

That is exactly what Hitler's dentist's assistant did. After Katty Goizerman was released from Soviet camps She immediately withdrew her information. This is first. Secondly, according to Soviet intelligence officials, the jaw may not belong to the Fuhrer, as it was found separately from the corpse. One way or another, but these facts give rise to attempts by historians and journalists to get to the bottom of the truth - where Adolf Hitler died.

Version two. South America, Argentina

There are a large number of hypotheses about the flight of the German dictator from besieged Berlin. One of them is the assumption that Hitler died in America, where he escaped with Eva Braun on April 27, 1945. This theory was provided by British writers D. Williams and S. Dunstan. In the book Gray Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler, they suggested that in May 1945, the Soviet secret services found the bodies of the Fuhrer's doubles and his mistress Eva Braun, and the real ones, in turn, left the bunker and went to the city of Mar del Plata, Argentina.

The deposed German dictator, even there, cherished his dream of a new Reich, which, fortunately, was not destined to come true. Instead, Hitler, having married Eva Braun, found family happiness and two daughters. The writers also named the year in which Hitler died. According to them, it was February 13, 1962.

The story seems absolutely meaningless, but the authors call to remember the year 2009, in which they conducted research on the skull found in the bunker. Their results showed that the part of the head that was shot through belonged to a woman.

Important proof

The British consider the interview as another confirmation of their theory. Soviet marshal G. Zhukov dated June 10, 1945, where he reports that the corpse that the USSR intelligence found in early May of that year might not have belonged to the Fuhrer. That there is no evidence to state exactly how Hitler died.

The military leader also does not exclude the possibility that Hitler could be in Berlin on April 30 and fly out of the city at the last minute. He could choose any point on the map for subsequent residence, including South America. Thus, it can be assumed that Hitler died in Argentina, where he lived for the last 17 years.

Version three. South America, Brazil

There are suggestions that Hitler died at the age of 95. This is reported in the book "Hitler in Brazil - his life and death" by the writer Simony Rene Gorreiro Diaz. In her opinion, in 1945 the deposed Fuhrer managed to escape from besieged Berlin. He lived in Argentina, then in Paraguay, until he settled on Nossa Señora do Livramento. This small town is located in the state of Mato Grosso. The journalist is sure that Adolf Hitler died in Brazil in 1984.

The ex-Führer chose this state, as it is sparsely populated and Jesuit treasures are allegedly buried in its lands. Colleagues from the Vatican informed Hitler about the treasure, presenting him with a map of the area.

The refugee lived in complete secrecy. He changed his name to Azholf Leipzig. Diaz is sure that he chose this surname for a reason, because his favorite composer V. R. Wagner was born in the city of the same name. Kutinga became a cohabitant, a black woman whom Hitler met upon arrival in do Livramento. The author of the book published their photo.

In addition, Simony Diaz wants to match the DNA of things that a relative of the Nazi dictator from Israel provided to her and the remains of Ajolf Leipzig's clothes. The journalist hopes for test results that may support the hypothesis that Hitler actually died in Brazil.

Most likely, these newspaper publications and books are just speculation that arises with each new historical fact. At least that's what I like to think. Even if this did not happen in 1945, it is unlikely that we will ever know what year Hitler actually died. But we can be absolutely sure that death overtook him in the last century.

Historian and TV presenter Leonid Mlechin undertook to unravel the biggest mysteries of 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. Underneath it optical effect Hitler was often credited with qualities that he actually 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. For the first time in 60 years, it provides detailed explanations of how the Third Reich, with rather scarce resources, managed to create a powerful war 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 been of particular importance if they had not developed into the 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.

- Until 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 lives can dramatically 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.

Immediately after the advent of the new thirty-third year in still free Germany, although not quite prosperous after the crisis, the Reich Chancellor was replaced. People just shrugged their shoulders and went about their business. The townsfolk could not even imagine that in just a couple of months their life would change in the most radical way, because then the future founder of the totalitarian dictatorship of the Third Reich came to power. At that time, almost no one knew who Hitler was, but soon the whole world started talking about him. Let's put value judgments aside and look at factual material to understand how this man managed to do what he did.

Adolf Hitler: biography of a man who knows about the "inbreeding" in his own family

The unexpected defeat in the First World War put an end to the history of the German Empire. The Weimar Republic "on the wreckage" was weak and unviable: the people were in terrible poverty, and the economy was torn to shreds by the victorious states demanding payments. Total poverty and nationwide humiliation have become fertile ground for the growth of all kinds of radical sentiments in society. It was in this situation that one of the most reviled and hated people in the future, Adolf Hitler, loomed on the horizon. Then no one even guessed that soon the "Thousand-Year Reich", reverently built by him, would turn into almost the worst hell of human history.

In the early days of his chancellorship, Hitler did a titanic job of imposing Nazi principles and ideology on various institutions. He did everything to ensure maximum control for his party: over culture, education, economy, legislation. Trade unions were abolished, and good-natured German burghers were forced to join various nationalist organizations. By July 33, the deed was done - the only non-banned (permitted) party in Germany was the NSDAP.

The first enemy of mankind

The future ideologue of Nazism did not immediately become a monster that destroyed millions of lives of innocent people. He wrote pretty well short stories, poems and short stories, and also painted good landscapes, but higher education never received it. When the First World War broke out, he signed up as a volunteer. It was in the trenches under a hail of bullets that he became acquainted with the ideas of National Socialism and imbued them to the core. After taking office as chancellor, based on ideas of maximum authoritarianism and racial inequality, Hitler confidently abolished major freedoms and began building a new supposedly people's state.

In theory, the idea was to unite all social strata without exception, as well as regions under the leadership sole person. It is clear that this person was supposed to be Hitler - an ideal citizen, a luminary and a demigod, adored by everyone. In fact, it turned out to be somewhat different. The Third Reich quickly became a police power in which anyone could be arrested and even executed. All members of the country's government became obedient puppets of the Fuhrer, and politics revolved only around his "priceless" figure. The outcome of such a view of the construction of the state was predetermined, as was the fate of the first enemy of mankind.

The birth and childhood of Adolf

The popular German philologist of the first half of the twentieth century, Max Gottschald, who studies proper names, believed that the surname Hitler (Hiedler or Hittlaer) comes from the German noun Waldhütler, which means "forester" or "caretaker", and is identically Hütler. The origin of the word is originally German, but it should be understood that this does not always indicate belonging to a particular nation or race.

The father of the future evil genius, Alois Hitler, was the son of an unmarried peasant woman, therefore, at birth, he received his surname from his mother - Schicklgruber. His biological father could be Johann Georg Hiedler or his brother Nepomuk Güttler. According to another version, Adolf's grandfather could have been the son of the banker Leopold Frankenberger, and this one was definitely a Jew. However German historian, closely involved in this family, argued that such an alignment is possible, but unlikely.

Presumably the grandfather of the future German leader, Nepomuk Güttler, was also the grandfather of Clara Pölzl, married Hitler. Alois was married three times. When the second wife ordered to live long, his relative, probably a niece, the daughter of a half-sister, helped to look after the household.

Permission for the marriage of Alois and Clara had to be requested from the Vatican, because local priests did not allow closely related ties. Adolf himself later tactfully called the marriage of his parents "intsucht" in a "botanical" manner, so as not to use the ugly word "incest", and also diligently avoided talking about his own origin.

On April 20, 1889, in the picturesque Austrian town of Braunau an der Inn, a boy was born in the Hitler family, named nice name Adolf. Clara, who had lost babies before, doted on little Dolphy. However early years Hitler were far from joyful and cheerful. The despotic tyrant-father, who loves to give a beating to the "unreasonable" woman, and the mother who slavishly and devotedly loved him - the boy could not even think of complaining to someone about the oppression of his father.

Youth of the future dictator

Until the ninety-second year, the Hitlers lived in Braunau, but then Alois got a new place and the family, in which two more children from Clara's first marriage (Alois and Angela) lived, moved to Passau. Edmun was born here (he died at the dawn of the new century), who turned out to be inferior, and the family moved again, already to Lunts. It was here that Adolf was sent to the Fischlgame school for a year. Soon the father felt bad, so he bought a large piece of land in Gafeld and moved there, taking all the members of his large family. By this time, the Hitlers also had a daughter, Paula, whom Dolfi adored all his life.

Until the spring of 1998, Adolf went to a Catholic school at a monastery in the nearby town of Lambach an der Traun. The smart kid got exceptionally high grades, studying was easy for him. He sang with might and main in the choir and was even appointed an assistant clergyman during the mass. Then the family moved again, and Adolf was enrolled in a school in Leonding, where he stayed until the new century.

At about the same time, due to unseemly value judgments Alois, the young Hitler was already looking at the church from a critical point of view. Public School in Linz, where he was subsequently sent, was not what he wanted. Here they demanded a lot, but they did not pay attention to the students themselves.

Reversal of fate: from artist to politician

In 1903, the pope died unexpectedly, and Adolf, who still loved this domestic despot, sobbed at the grave. After his death, Hitler firmly decided that the path of an official was not for him: he would become a man of art - a poet, writer or artist. Two years later, he nevertheless entered a school in Steyr, but doctors discovered a lung disease in the young man. This at once crossed out the future in the office, which the “illness” himself was incredibly happy about.

In December of the seventh year, Clara died of oncology, despite a complex and expensive operation performed the year before. Having issued an orphan's pension, Adolf left for Vienna, where he hoped to enter the Academy of Fine Arts. He tried twice, but the competition never passed. By that time, his internal anti-Semitism had already formed. He hid from military service precisely because he did not want to live in barracks with the Jews.

Interesting

In the ninth or tenth year, Adolf made acquaintance with Reinhold Hanisch, who offered to sell a couple of his paintings. Things went well, Hitler began to actively draw, and then suddenly accused the "producer" of fraud. The future leader continued to trade in paintings on his own, she brought good income, therefore it turned out to refuse the orphan's pension in favor of Paulina.

On August 14, the First World War broke out, and Hitler happily carried the documents to the office - he wanted to defend his homeland. In November of the same year, he already proudly bore the rank of corporal, and in December - the Iron Cross of the second degree. Adolf received many more awards, was wounded until he caught gas during an attack near La Montaigne in October 1918. He received a serious eye injury and was sent to the hospital, where he learned about the defeat and overthrow of Kaiser Ludwig III.

Some time after treatment, he spent in a psychiatric hospital, and then served in the guards of the prison camp. Hitler later returned to the army, undecided whether he wanted to be an artist, architect or politician. In June next year the leadership of the Bavarian Infantry Regiment seconded him to special courses of agitators in order to conduct "education" with the soldiers who returned from the front. In September, when he came to a meeting of the German Workers' Party (DAP) in a pub, he proved himself such an excellent orator that he was immediately invited to join the organization.

Hitler's rise to power

When, by 1920, the NSDAP had become one of the most prominent parties in Bavaria, and the future famous Nazi Ernst Röhm became the leader of the stormtroopers (SA), Hitler became a prominent figure in the political field. They began to reckon with him, to listen to his opinion, but this was not enough. In November twenty-third, taking with him detachments of stormtroopers, Hitler came to the beer "Bürgerbräukeller" with a huge hall, in which a rally was just being held. There he announced the overthrow of the Berlin leadership of the country. In turn, Kar, at that time the commissioner of Bavaria, announced the dissolution of the NSDAP. Stormtroopers lined up in columns and advanced to the Ministry of Defense. Then the police began firing and dispersed the demonstrators.

For raising a rebellion, the leaders of the uprising were convicted. Hitler was given five years, but nine months later he was already released for unknown reasons. In the 26th NSDAP formed the Hitler Youth (children's and youth organization of the Nazis), and Goebbels began to slowly conquer "red Berlin" with the help of propaganda. In the thirty-second, Hitler for the first time puts forward his candidacy for the post of Reich President of the country and fails. In December of the same year, Kurt von Schleicher was appointed to the coveted position, but Adolf was no longer satisfied with this state of affairs. By the end of January 1933, Hitler gets the position he needs - becomes Chancellor of the Reich.

Then everything went like clockwork: a month after the above events, a fire broke out in the Reichstag. They accused the communists, seized the Dutchman Marinus van der Lubbe and hanged him. Later it turned out that the fire was specially planned by the Nazis to level the trust in the communists, who had good support among the people.

In 1934, the Night of the Long Knives, already carried out by the Gestapo, thundered. They spared no one: old people, children, pretty women and the same stormtroopers. More than a thousand people died "not in vain" - in the referendum on August 19, the Nazi Party won more than eighty percent of the vote. Hitler formed his own cabinet, headed by Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen.

Bloody pages of history and the Fuhrer's allies

First, unemployment was completely and irrevocably eliminated. Every citizen of Germany was involved in some cause. Hitler, the beginning of whose reign was drenched in blood, pursued an active social policy, allocated benefits and assistance to needy Germans. Sports events and holidays have become regular and almost mandatory. The people were seized by some strange hysteria of admiration for the Nazis.

In the thirty-fifth, the Nuremberg Resolutions were adopted, depriving the Gypsies and Jews of all rights and freedoms. Pogroms constantly arose, the case clearly "smelled of kerosene." The adopted “endlozung” (the law on the physical destruction of all representatives of the Jewish people) became the peak.

It only remained to begin to gradually return the lost lands. First they annexed Austria, then part of Czechoslovakia. The world community silently watched the development of events. At the beginning of the thirty-ninth, Time positioned Hitler as the man of the year, and already in March, the expansion continued: Lithuania was captured, and Poland was demanded to open a “corridor” to Prussia. In August, a non-aggression pact was signed with the USSR. The entry into Poland on September 1 was the beginning of World War II and the impetus for the Great Patriotic War. In less than a month, the Nazis dealt with the Poles, moved to Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland and France.

In the spring of 1941, Greece and Yugoslavia fell, and on June 22, fascist planes were already bombing Kyiv. This was the Fuhrer's fatal mistake. From the middle of the forty-second, Hitler's victorious march across Europe choked near Stalingrad, and by the beginning of the forty-fifth fighting were completely transferred to Germany. The Berlin Pact on the creation of the so-called Berlin-Rome Axis (Achsenmächte), concluded back in the fortieth year, began to crumble before our eyes. The allies - Romania, Japan, Italy, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Finland - realized that there would be no "Thousand Year Reich" anymore, and began to resist.

Meticulous maintenance of a list of personal enemies

The mental state of the Fuhrer has always been of interest to historians and researchers, because sometimes, in addition to general atrocities, which in themselves do not fit in the head of a normal person, he did something “speaking”. For example, there was a list personal enemies Hitler”, as well as the “Wanted List of the USSR” (Sonderfahndungsliste UdSSR). These columns of names included people who should be immediately destroyed as soon as they fell into the hands of the Nazis.

• Levitan.
• Stalin-Dzhugashvili.
• Dimitrov.
• Kournikov.
• Franklin Roosevelt.
• Charles de Gaulle.
• Winston Churchill.
• Molotov and many others.

AT complete lists there were almost five and a half thousand surnames. Among them were not only politicians and managers, but also cultural figures, actors, famous doctors, scientists, athletes, employees special services and even common people. It's like a paranoid psychosis.

Dangerous hobbies in the occult

Long before the swastika became a symbol of Nazi Germany, it was used as a symbol of the continuity of being by different peoples. Among the Slavs and the Hindus, it means an endless solar cycle, which cannot be interrupted. In Buddhism, the swastika symbolizes the unification of the basic elements that make up everything that exists: water, fire, earth and air. For the first time, Hitler saw such a sign back in an elementary Catholic school with one of the abbots, but the idea to make it a symbol of the new state does not belong to him. In the book "My Struggle", the Fuhrer writes that the youth sent in sketches, and he was already drawing up the final version.

As a result, the four-pointed swastika became the Nazi symbol, with the ends directed to the right side, rotated 45 degrees. A laconic black cross in a white circle on a red background had a sacred meaning. It meant the irreconcilable and endless destruction of non-Aryan peoples until complete extermination. In 1946, at the Nuremberg Trials, a decision was made to ban the use of such symbols. However, in 2015, Roskomnadzor softened its position somewhat - demonstrating the symbol without promoting Nazism is no longer a crime.

Adolf Hitler was a fan of mysticism and various theories of the supernatural origin of some races. Therefore, in the thirty-fifth year, a special pseudo-scientific organization "Ahnenerbe" (Ahnenerbe) was even created. Its members were engaged in all sorts of occult and ideological developments, the study of history and the search for ancient artifacts considered magical. Conducted in the "Ahnenerbe" and terrible experiments on living people and the bodies of the dead. The militants of the organization were engaged in the looting of exhibitions, museums, galleries and other cultural heritage.

Female favorite: what is Hitler known for on the "love front"

Despite the actively pursued policy of persecution of homosexuality in Germany in those years, some historians still claim that the German leader had bisexual inclinations and even experience in same-sex relationships. The famous German researcher Lothar Mahtan is sure of the Fuhrer's homosexuality, Kevin Abrams and Scott Lively in the book "Pink Swastika" fully share his opinion. However, evidence for this has never been found.

Hitler had his own view of marriage and relations with women in general: he was against marriage, because it immediately made him inaccessible to others. He preferred to remain free so that every girl in Germany and beyond could wish and dream of his "indulgence".

Mistresses, Eva Braun and offspring of the German leader

Hitler had some kind of semi-mystical influence on women. He, like a python, knew how to bewitch them, braid and fall in love with him to unconsciousness. There are cases of suicides of girls on this basis. He had many mistresses, but only the notorious Eva Braun became his only wife.

• From a connection with Hilda Lokamp, ​​about whom little is known, a boy appeared, according to rumors - the son of Hitler. The fate of the woman herself and her offspring remains unclear.
• Charlotte Lobjoie met Adolf in 1916 and he even painted her portrait. She was a swarthy, black-haired Frenchwoman, the daughter of a butcher, who looked like a nomadic gypsy. In the spring of the eighteenth, she gave birth to a boy, Jean-Marie Lauret-Frison, who, according to her, was the son of the Fuhrer. His son, Philip, who considers himself the Fuhrer's grandson, is now negotiating to conduct a DNA test and prove a direct relationship.
• Sigrid, daughter of Oskar von Laffert of Damarets, born in 1916. After a fleeting connection with Hitler, she tried to hang herself on the handle of the door to her room.
• Maria Reiter (Kubish) met Hitler in 1927 in a store where she worked as a saleswoman. In the same year, she tried to commit suicide because of her love for Adolf, but in the end she managed to get married twice.
• Unity Valkyrie Mitford is a real hereditary aristocrat from the ancient english kind, a convinced Nazi. After the declaration of war, the girl tried to shoot herself, but failed. In the fortieth year she caught meningitis and died.
• Renata Müller was a famous film actress whose appearance thrilled the men of Germany and beyond. Met Adolf in the thirties, then became addicted to opium and alcohol. She died of an overdose of sleeping pills. It was rumored that the Nazi authorities carefully eliminated it.

A separate role in the life of the Fuhrer Hitler was occupied by his own niece Geli Raubal. She was a blooming, ruddy-cheeked and full of health girl, almost two decades younger than Adolf himself. From the twenty-fifth, until her suicide in the thirty-first, Geli lived in the apartment of the German leader. She was clearly in a privileged position: her room could not be entered, and her orders could not be disobeyed. Geli's death was a real shock for the man, he withdrew into himself, but then found peace on the chest of the daughter of opera singer Gretl Slezak and actress Leni Riefenstahl.

The daughter of a Munich teacher, Eva Braun, a natural blonde who graduated from the school of maids of honor, first saw the Fuhrer in the 29th. She was only seventeen, and he was thirty years older. Adolf looked after her reverently and selflessly, took her to the theater and cinema, gave flowers and diamonds. After Geli's death, it was Eva who became main woman in Hitler's life. At the end of April 1945, just before the surrender of Germany, when the Soviet troops were already victoriously marching through Berlin, she died. Eva married her lover, turning into Madame Hitler. True, it was not necessary to stay in this role for long, only a day.

In order to provide the nation with reliable and loyal followers of the new generation, the Thor project was created and launched. Especially for him, several dozen young purebred German women were selected, who were supposed to give birth from the Fuhrer. In the forty-fifth, the laboratory was disbanded, and the children were distributed to the surrounding peasants and artisans. Some of them or their descendants may still walk among us today.

The last years of a bloody leader: in case of collapse

Despite his organizational talent, as well as sincere confidence in the correctness of his actions, Hitler understood that his entire harmonious plan could fail. Therefore, he built bunkers, the main of which, Wolfschanze, was located near the town of Rastenburg, in eastern Prussia. It contained gold, art and other valuables. However, most of treasures looted by the Nazis have never been found. And the building itself did not bring anything good to its creator - it was here that he committed suicide.

For the first time, they tried to encroach on the life of the great leader of the German nation in the thirtieth year. It happened at the Kaiserhof Hotel, where an unknown person tried unsuccessfully to spray poison or acid on the Fuhrer's face. From the moment he assumed the office of chancellor in the thirty-third and until the thirty-eighth (five years), Adolf Hitler was committed to total sixteen attempts! They all failed.

On April 30, 1945, on the second day after marrying Eva Braun, realizing that the entry of Soviet troops into Berlin could only mean one thing, Adolf Hitler and his wife, and Goebbels with his wife and six offspring, committed suicide by swallowing ampoules of cyanide . According to another version, the leader first drank poison, and then also put a bullet in his temple for fidelity. Their bodies were taken out of the bunker, laid on the grass, doused with gasoline and burned. The Fuhrer was identified by dentures, but later the results of the identification were called into question.

In the seventieth year of the territory " wolf lair", which were previously under the jurisdiction of the Soviet military unit, it was decided to give Germany. The ashes of all those who rested in the graves were dug up, completely incinerated, crushed and thrown into the Biederitz River (according to other sources - into the Elbe). However, not everyone believed that the almighty Fuhrer died then. Popular legend has it that doppelgangers were killed in his stead. Adolf himself and his wife Eva were allegedly taken to Barcelona, ​​from where they went to Argentina, where they calmly lived out the rest of their days in prosperity and peace.

The most incredible facts of life

Occult researcher Dr. Greta Leiber believes that in the thirty-second year, Hitler signed a real pact with the devil, as evidenced by the document she found. At the same time, Adolf's signature on paper is genuine. Regarding the signature of Satan, historians have serious doubts.

It is believed that narcotic substances were used in the Third Reich to inspire soldiers, and also as stimulants for people of various professions. It is believed that the Fuhrer himself took oxycodone and cocaine prescribed by his attending physician Theodore Gilbert Morell. This fact is confirmed by the German writer and researcher Norman Ohler.

Hitler was very fond of cartoons, especially Disney ones. He even sketched characters for fun.

Henry Ford was the only American who was mentioned by the Fuhrer in the book "My Struggle".

In 1938, Adolf Hitler was proposed as a nominee for Nobel Prize peace. Fortunately, his subsequent steps cleared up the situation, and the issue of the award was never raised again.

Adolf Hitler is the leader of Germany, whose name will forever be associated with fascism, cruelty, war, concentration camps and other crimes against humanity. But what do we know about his personal life, mistresses and hobbies? And is everything known about the last days of his life and death? Or some pages from the life of Hitler and to this day the mystery of history?

We bring to your attention incredible Interesting Facts from the biography of this fascist.

Hitler. Family

On April 20, 1889, a boy was born in an Austrian family, who was named Adolf. The boy's fifty-two-year-old father, Alois Hitler, worked as a customs officer, and his twenty-year-old mother, Clara, was a peasant woman.

Interesting fact. Adolf's father at first bore the surname Schicklgruber (his mother's surname), but then changed it to Hitler. Why? His paternal relatives had the surname Gidler, but the man changed it somewhat and began to be called Alois Hitler.

For Alois, this was the third marriage, and for Clara, of course, the first. She was a meek girl who tried to do everything to make the house comfortable, the children happy, and her husband happy. There were five children, but only Adolf and his sister Paula survived to adulthood.

Clara was afraid of her husband, however, like the children. He was a man who recognized only his opinion and his decisions, plus everything was cruel to his household, quick-tempered and liked to drink. He periodically beat and humiliated both his wife and children.

Adolf was an insecure boy who acutely felt that he was not like everyone else. And family relations only aggravated the situation, growing hatred in his soul, and soon this feeling became dominant. He transferred his hatred of his father, who was half Jewish, to this entire nation.

Adolf Hitler always tried to hide the fact that he also had Jewish blood.

Hitler. Education
As a six-year-old boy, Adolf began to study at a simple school, where they received elementary education all local children. But his mother, being a believing woman, really wanted her son to become a priest, so two years later she transferred Adolf to a parish school. But her dream was not destined to come true, because after some time he was expelled for inappropriate behavior, more precisely, for smoking in the garden of the monastery.

In subsequent years, Adolf Hitler changed several more schools in different cities, but nevertheless, in the end, he received a certificate of education, in which there was a five in drawing. And this is no coincidence, Adolf had a talent for drawing and he really wanted to enter the art academy.

When Hitler was 18, he went to Vienna to fulfill his dream, but failed entrance exams. After all, in addition to drawing, it was necessary to know others school disciplines, and with this, Adolf was not very good.

Having failed the exams, the notorious Adolf blamed everyone except himself for this. He said that he was the most worthy applicant, but he was not appreciated, and all the teachers at the academy are stupid.

Soon, in the winter of 1908, his mother died of oncology, which he experienced very hard. He did not have to hope for the help of his father, his mother was gone, so Adolf was forced to survive on his own. He earned by selling his drawings, but it was very little money, which was not enough for decent life. He began to look careless - uncut and unshaven, in dangling dirty clothes.

It is clear that the failures further embittered Adolf, who began to hate everyone even more, especially the Jews. And this despite the fact that among his friends there were Jews, and his Godfather was also a representative of this nation.

But there is another version. In those years, there were many very rich Jews in Germany who headed some business or were at the head of banks. Hitler wanted to eliminate them.

It was at this time that Hitler had a dream - to make Germany great power Of course, he should be at the head of the country.

At the end of the winter of 1914, Adolf Hitler was summoned to Austria, of which he was a citizen, where he passed a medical examination and was declared unfit for military service. But when the First World War began, he volunteered to go to the front.

Interesting fact. According to fellow soldiers, at that time Hitler had a magnificent mustache, which he shaved off on the orders of his superiors, as they prevented him from putting on a gas mask. As a result, the “Hitler mustaches” familiar to all of us remained.

Briefly about political career Hitler
After the end of the war, Adolf Hitler focused entirely on his political career. In 1923, he staged the so-called "Beer putsch" and tried to overthrow the German government. The coup ended in failure, and Hitler was sentenced to five codes of imprisonment, but for some reason he was released nine months later.

In 1925 he changed his citizenship and became a full German citizen.

Adolf Hitler revived the Nazi Party and became its leader, in 1930 he received the post of commander in chief assault troops, and in 1933 - Reich Chancellor of Germany. Over the next year, he managed to take away all the powers of both the president and the Reichstag, and become the sole ruler of Germany.

And here Hitler was able, without hiding, to throw out all his anger. In the summer of 1934, he staged the "Night of the Long Knives" and destroyed all high-ranking Nazis, whom he considered a threat to his power. He created the Gestapo and concentration camps, into which he drove Jews, gypsies, and later prisoners of war.

All these years, Hitler collected photographs, national things and other artifacts that belonged to Jews, so that later they would become exhibits of the "Museum of the Annihilated Race", which he wanted to organize.

He called himself a leader and wanted to become the only ruler in the world, of course, having previously captured the whole world. In this case, the Aryans would be the only worthy race that the Slavs would serve, and the rest of the peoples, especially Jews and gypsies, would be destroyed.

Let us omit the details of the monstrous massacre unleashed by Hitler (I mean the Second world war) - This separate story. I can only say that seeing german army retreats under the pressure of the Soviet troops and their allies, Hitler became completely uncontrollable. He frantically tried to rectify the situation and ordered to send to the front everyone who could not fight normally - the elderly, the disabled, children.

Hitler. Death

When Hitler's Berlin residence was surrounded Soviet troops he committed suicide. Historians have different opinions on this matter. Some believe that he drank potassium cyanide, others claim that Hitler shot himself. Together with him, his mistress, Eva Braun, did the same. But about her a little later.

Hitler allegedly bequeathed that after the murder of them and Eva, the bodies would be burned, which was allegedly done. Indeed, in one of the rooms, Soviet soldiers found burnt human remains, among which was part of the jaw and a skull with a hole in the temple.

According to experts, no examinations were carried out to identify these remains. The jaw and skull were simply taken and placed in the archives of the USSR.

Against this background, a version appeared that Hitler did not commit suicide at all, but fled, taking Eve with him. They allegedly fled to Argentina, where they were seen repeatedly in the following years. They lived there for many years, and then moved to Paraguay, where Hitler died in 1964.

But what about the jaw and skull of Hitler, kept in the USSR? It turns out that Hitler's jaw was established only from the words of his personal dentist. He said it was Hitler's jaw, and everyone believed it. No other examinations, as we have already mentioned, were carried out. Although it was possible to take DNA from the Fuhrer's younger sister, Paula.

So, maybe the dentist deliberately lied, covering for his powerful client? Perhaps the Hitler couple really escaped, and the burnt bodies do not belong to them at all?

One more thing. Photos of the dead Adolf Hitler have been posted on the Internet, it turns out that he was not burned, or these pictures are fake.

There is no single answer to these questions.

* * *
Adolf Hitler is a fascist who killed millions of people during World War II. We have already talked about his childhood, studies, political career and death, now let's talk about his mistresses and hobbies, and also learn other interesting facts from his biography.

HITLER. PERSONAL LIFE. LOVERS
Adolf Hitler was married for only one day - Eva Braun became his wife on the eve of suicide.

Adolf Hitler did not have legitimate children, because he was afraid of the birth of a handicapped child because of the marriages between close relatives practiced in his family. Therefore, he believed that it was necessary to have mistresses, and they had no right to make any demands on him.

Surprisingly, this outwardly uninteresting man was a woman's favorite. Of course, it is quite possible that the ladies did not love him, but his power and endless possibilities. Although people who knew Hitler said that in the presence of women whom he wanted to impress, the Fuhrer was always very gallant.

The Fuhrer had many mistresses, almost all of them were much younger than him (by twenty years) and had a magnificent bust.

In 2012, information appeared that during the First World War, Hitler had an affair with the Frenchwoman Charlotte Lobjoie, as a result of which a boy was born - the son of the Fuhrer.

Charlotte Lobjoie
Charlotte Lobjoie is the daughter of a French butcher who, at the age of eighteen, entered into a relationship with Hitler. Their relationship lasted from 1916 to 1917. The girl followed her lover to where he was going. But, having gone to his relatives, Hitler did not take Charlotte with him. He promised to return soon, but did not keep his promise.

Soon Charlotte realized that she was pregnant, and in the spring of 1918 she gave birth to a boy. She named him Jean-Marie. It was Hitler's son.

Hitler knew that Charlotte had given birth to a son. In 1940, he ordered the security service to find them and find out everything about their life. The order was carried out, but after reviewing the details, Hitler categorically refused to meet with Charlotte, and tried to take his son for himself. What disappointed him with a former passion? She turned into a slumped drinking woman.

Charlotte died in 1951. Jean-Marie knew about who his father was - Charlotte told him about it. Hitler, obviously recognizing his paternity, constantly followed the life of a young man, took care of him, but did not dare to bring him closer, fearing condemnation.

Some historians doubt that Jean-Marie is the son of Hitler, citing the fact that the man was repeatedly offered to conduct an examination to prove his relationship with the Fuhrer, but he refused.

Charlotte inspired Hitler to paint a picture where she is depicted with a half-naked chest and a bright scarf on her head.

Gels Rau6al

Geli Raubal - Hitler's niece, 19 years younger. Their connection began in 1925, when Geli settled in Hitler's apartment in Munich (by the way, it had 15 rooms). The girl wanted to become a doctor, but she was not very smart, and she liked men much more than studying.

The connection continued until the very death of Geli, when in 1931 she committed suicide. The reason for the suicide was the beginning relationship between Hitler and Eva Braun. Geli knew about the new passion of the Fuhrer, and that spending all the nights with her. Geli, Hitler spent days with Eva. Once, unable to stand it, Geli threw a scandal to Hitler, but did not achieve anything. Realizing that she had lost, the girl shot herself. According to some reports, Geli Raubal was pregnant.

Geli was not monogamous, and in addition to Hitler, she had affairs with other men.

Adolf Hitler took the death of his niece very hard.

Maria Reiter
Maria Reiter met Hitler when she was 17 years old. The girl, being a minor, fell in love with Adolf and began to pursue him. She tracked him everywhere and tried to impose herself, but it ended up that Hitler, seeing her, began to hide and pretended not to know the girl. Realizing this, Maria tried to hang herself, but she was saved.

Later, Maria nevertheless achieved Hitler, and his sister Paula said that this the only woman, which Adolf sincerely loved.

Eva Brown

Hitler met her in 1929, when Eve was only seventeen, and he was forty. She was an assistant personal photographer Hitler. The Fuhrer immediately liked the cheerful young beauty very much.

But at that time, Hitler had a connection with Geli. At first he tried to cope with his feelings, but this did not work out and he began to court Eva, while continuing to live with Geli. Eva knew about the existence of another woman in Hitler's life, she was worried, but still agreed to meet with him during the day and visit restaurants and cinemas, knowing that he spends all his nights with another.

When Geli passed away, Eva Braun became his mistress.

During the 15 years spent next to Hitler, Eva Braun tried to commit suicide twice. According to one version, she could not forgive him for intrigues with other ladies, according to another, she no longer had the strength to endure psychical deviations Hitler.

A reasonable question arises - why did Hitler, clearly loving Eva, marry her at the very last moment? Because Eve had Jewish blood on her mother's side. The girl's parents hid it in every possible way, even sent the girl to study at a Catholic school, where children of real Aryans were accepted. Perhaps, after years of living with Hitler, Eva herself confessed her roots to him. Then it is clear why for many years he did not marry her, and on the eve of suicide, realizing that nothing mattered anymore, they got married.

Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun got married on April 29, 1945, and the next day, according to the main version, they committed suicide.

Unity Valkyrie Mitford

Unity Valkyrie Mitford is the daughter of an English lord, an ardent supporter of Nazism. Her relationship with Hitler began in 1934, when the girl was twenty. Unity herself long time tried, seemingly by chance, to meet with Adolf, which she eventually managed to do - they met in a restaurant. Their relationship lasted for about a year. In 1939, she attempted suicide by shooting herself in the temple with a pistol given by Hitler. Unity survived, but died of meningitis a year later.

At one time or another, Hitler also had brief liaisons with the singer Gretl Slezak, the actress Leni Riefenthal, and Sigrid von Laffert (who tried to commit suicide).

HITLER. PAINTINGS

According to experts, Hitler wrote more than three thousand works. Most of them have been destroyed, some are stored in the US archives, some have been sold at auctions. So, in 2009, 15 paintings by Hitler were sold at auction for $120,000, and in 2012 his work went for $43,500.

In total, 720 paintings by Adolf Hitler have survived to this day.

For the most part, he painted buildings and landscapes, but he did not like to portray people. Once one art historian was shown his works, but they did not reveal who their author was. The specialist said that they were written by a good artist who is absolutely indifferent to people.

HITLER. OTHER INTERESTING FACTS
Adolf Hitler never smoked himself and did not like it when others did.

He was very clean and was afraid of catching some kind of infection, especially a runny nose.

Hitler did not allow familiarity towards himself, he respected only his own opinion.

In 1933, a ground beetle was named after Hitler. The Fuhrer appreciated this and expressed gratitude.

In the Palestinian Gaza Strip, a shop is named after Hitler, which is very popular with the residents. Why? Because Adolf, like them, fiercely hated the Jews.

According to surviving medical records, Hitler took cocaine and suffered from uncontrolled bloating.

In 2008, a document was found in one of the Berlin archives, which was called "Hitler's Treaty with the Devil." It is dated April 30, 1932 and signed in blood. According to him. The devil gives Hitler unlimited power, but the latter should only do evil. In return, after thirteen years, Hitler will have to give the Devil his soul. It looks like a fairy tale, but the examination showed that the signature under the contract really belongs to Hitler. Again, it's no secret that the Fuhrer believed in the existence of Shambhala, in the end of the world, in the mysterious forces of Tibet, so why shouldn't he also believe in the Devil? Then the question arises - who acted as this Devil? According to historians, it was an agent with hypnotic abilities, sent by those who benefited from the war, that is, weapons manufacturers, etc.

Adolf Hitler was a fan of Henry Ford. He gave him birthday presents every year and collected his photos.

As for Moscow, Hitler had special plans: he intended to wipe it off the face of the Earth, and to arrange a reservoir in its place.

Hitler's biggest enemy in the USSR was not Stalin, but Levitan, for whose head the Fuhrer promised a quarter of a million marks.

In 1938, Time magazine named Hitler Man of the Year, and in 1939 he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Adolf Hitler was very fond of watching Walt Disney cartoons, especially Snow White.
