Feel good story of the day: Hitlers loyal bodyguard, who was with him until the end, passed peacefully at the age of 96.
It’s an old article but I bring it up every once in a while because it’s a good read.
>“[Hitler] was no brute. He was no monster. He was no superman,” Misch said.
>“It was anti-communist, against Stalin — to protect Europe,” Misch said, noting that thousands of other Western Europeans served in the Waffen SS. “I signed up in the war against Bolshevism, not for Adolf Hitler.”
>“He was a wonderful boss,” Misch said. “I lived with him for five years. We were the closest people who worked with him … we were always there. Hitler was never without us day and night.”
>Hitler clung to hope given by what turned out to be a false report that the Western Allies had called upon Germany to hold Berlin for two more weeks against the Soviets so that they could battle communism together.
