Through Hitler is dead, many mysteries about him remain unravelled, especially the mystery of how he was able to rise to supreme power. The source of his strength, the nature of his ultimate beliefs, and the workings of his fatal weakness, all these would be debated for many years to come. No final assessment could made at the time, nor can we reasonably expect to reach a final assessment in our generation. Hitler verdict on him self was given in the testament he drew up the days before his suicide. It is an astonishing and revealing document. Having sacrificed millions of Germans to his own glory, he claimed that all his actions had proceeded out to love and loyalty to his people. With perfect detachment and single mindedness, he claimed that he had shown the German people the way which destiny had pointed out to them, and it was not his fault that they had proved unworthy of the task. He urged the German to continue the struggle. While he was dictating these word, the Russian had encircled Berlin and chancellery was being bombarded by Russian guns at close range. Hitler wrote that he chose to die by his own hand rather than submit to cowardly abdication or capitulation. Tag life
