“Adolf Hitler lived from April 20, 1889 to April 30, 1945—almost exactly fiftysix
years. The difference between his first thirty years and the following twentysix years
seems to be inexplicable. For thirty years he was an obscure failure; then almost overnight
a local celebrity and eventually the man around whom the whole of world policy

hence one [that] was strangely lightweight, and lightly discarded.” (Haffner, p. 4) What
sort of person was Adolf Hitler? Here is one clue.
