I started reading it about 20 years ago, but man, Mr. Hitler was such a whiner, I think I only made it through the first 2 chapters. Does anyone know how it ends???
shareI've heard that it is a tedious read. Why bother, unless one is a historian.
shareWell, I do like history and I thought it might be interesting to read what he had to say in his own words. But it really was a drag, and I hadn't even gotten to the political part yet. He just kept whining about his childhood. It's pretty clear that's where the trauma started!
It ends with the Holocaust.
shareNope. I never had the desire.
shareIn college, they handed out excerpts from the book and we had to study it.
shareinteresting I think there might be a movie
shareHis papa was a nasty piece of work. I think Adolf's Mother was his father's cousin - a lot of in-breeding in that village. Adolf made a sexual slave out of his own niece. The dysfunction ran deep, all that talk about 'pure blood' takes on a different cast in the light of his family culture.
Haven't read the book, have no desire to - but have heard he made his intention to conquer & colonize 'the east' quite plain. Wiser heads were always saying, during his rise to power and early territorial acquisitions in the Rhineland, etc., read the guy's book.
