	:"''After half a century, no biographer or historian has put together an adequate interpretation of Adolf Hitler. Since Hitler can be acknowledged to have been the most significant figure of the twentieth century, how is such a situation possible? The answer may be that the hunt for Hitler has been for the wrong man in the wrong historical background. The hunt has been for a political animal in the guise of a wicked man who engaged in evil deeds. But the intellectual expeditions both great and small to capture Hitler have been seeking the wrong quarry in the wrong landscape. Hitler was neither a politician nor engaged in politics. And he cannot be considered to have believed that he was a wicked man perpetrating evil deeds. Hitler had the intense psychological makeup of a prophetically styled messiah—one whose office he believed was to reveal a message of salvation to the Germans and to become the savior-hero himself. The landscape through which he moved was that of a Germany defeated in war and a European continent dominated by France. To think of Hitler as a German politician engaged in national politics would be like thinking of the quintessential Prophet Muhammad as an Arab politician engaged in similar political endeavors. Both must be comprehended as intense visionaries with their feet planted firmly several feet above the ground, in their own worlds of self-inspired revelation. Both achieved astonishing political results, but neither can be understood as a political ideologue.''"		:"''After half a century, no biographer or historian has put together an adequate interpretation of Adolf Hitler.

	Opinions on [[National Socialist Germany]] vary enormously. The politically correct view is a dysutopian [[totalitarian]] secret police dictatorship, persecuting ~~Jews~~ and other groups, ruthlessly purging internal dissidents such as [[Ernst Röhm]] during the "[[Night of the Long Knives]]", rearming and planning to start WWII in order to gain [[Lebensraum]], and especially in fictional descriptions with Hitler as an irrational, frenzied, ranting, erratic, and increasingly mad dictator.

	Regarding foreign policy before WWII, both sides may likely agree on some aspects, such as Hitler stating a desire to reverse the argued unfair conditions of the [[Versailles Treaty]]. Germany reintroduced conscription and rearmed. The demilitarized zone in the Rhineland was abolished. Germany also united the ethnically German [[Austria]] and [[Sudetenland]] with Germany. In 1936, the [[Spanish Civil War]] started. It developed into a conflict between an increasingly communist dominated side (most notably supported by the Soviet Union) and fascists (most notably supported by Germany and Italy). The fascist side won the war in 1939. Various (often anti-communist) alliances were formed with the states constituting the [[Axis Powers]]		Regarding foreign policy before WWII, both sides may likely agree on some aspects, such as Hitler stating a desire to reverse the argued unfair conditions of the [[Versailles Treaty]].

He would be an artist.''		: "''ADOLF HITLER was born on April 20, 1889, at Braunau in Upper Austria, close to the Bavarian frontier. Because it is situated on the frontier that divided two branches of the German people, Hitler has spoken of Braunau as representing for him "The Symbol of a Great Task", namely that of uniting all Germans in one State. His father, who was the son of poor peasants from the forest district, had worked himself upwards through his own study and perseverance until he became a civil servant. At the time that Adolf was born his father was Customs Officer at Braunau. Being proud of his own achievement and the status he had reached, his dearest desire was that his son should also enter the civil service; but the son was entirely opposed to this idea. He would be an artist.''
