>He had been a soldier That's the same thought that this photo invokes in me. I know he was a runner *by fucking volunteer* in WW1. He never truly stopped being a warrior and soldier. I often question whether Hitler actually committed suicide, or was killed by some Allied/Soviet assets. Suicide seems very out of character for Hitler, but perhaps he knew what was going to be done to him- he was absolutely going to be tortured ruthlessly, whether captured by the Soviets or Americans. It's just such a shame that he wasn't around to defend himself from all of the absurd claims that were leveled at him over the decades. It's a shame that he couldn't give an explanation in say, the 1980s, from prison or w/e. Or maybe he actually escaped to Brazil or something...
