“Hitler had deteriorated mentally to the point of delusional insanity”. . . Is this what you think of Hitler in 1945? He had been injured in the July Plot in 1944. He was understandably depressed. He kept waiting for the American and English alliance with Russia to break up. He kept a vigil by the portrait of Frederick the Great in the Bunker. But I think he was cold stone sober and sane. He had no choice but to take his life. I think it’s very tragic. Listen to Tradl Junge’s interview describing the last days in the Bunker. You’ll be in tears.
