The Turner Classic Movie schedule for December featured The Great Dictator, Charlie Chaplin's first talking picture. The classic 1940 film was released one year before the U.S. abandoned its policy of neutrality and entered the Second World War. Chaplin, in The Great Dictator, satirizes the best-known evil person the world has ever known. Had the world known the extent of the misinformation surrounding Hitler, a former street cleaner and gay prostitute The Great Dictator, would be a documentary.

December 10, 2010 AP NewsBreak, Hitler's Shadow: Nazi War Criminals, U.S. Intelligence, and the Cold War bring the events of Nazi Germany back into the headlines:

The 600-page report, the Justice Department has tried to keep secret for four years, confirms what the report refers to as “a pathetic chapter” in our nation’s history. The "experts" our intelligence people recruited were just a bunch of criminals and losers that never provided any useful intelligence about the Soviet Union.” Long-hidden report: CIA created ‘safe haven’ for Nazis in the US [1]

The Turner Classic Movie schedule for December featured The Great Dictator, Charlie Chaplin's first talking picture. The classic 1940 film was released one year before the U.S. abandoned its policy of neutrality and entered the Second World War.

Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, the best-known film star the world has ever known, in The Great Dictator, satirizes who our filtered history books claim was the best-known evil person the world has ever known. [2]

Had the world known the extent of the misinformation surrounding Hitler, a former street cleaner and gay prostitute then the History Channel would feature The Great Dictator, a documentary, on the Modern State of Israel. The Hidden Hitler (2001) by Lothar Machtan [3]

The social cataclysmic events of two World Wars, the Holocaust and 70 million deaths were not about a fanatical dictator trying to take over the world with money from Elite of The Global Financial Elite (Hitler’s Grandfather) and Prescott Bush, but was a satanic ancient plan to ensure the Jews arrived in Palestine not in 1946 or 1950, but in 1948, AKA The Key to the Secret of the Universe. [4]

Sometimes truth is stranger than historical fiction, or, is it the other way around?

The Great Dictator begins during a battle of World War I where an unnamed Jewish private (Charlie Chaplin), a barber by profession, is comically blundering through the trenches in a tract of combat scenes fighting for the Central Powers in the army of the fictional nation of Tomaini.

At the outbreak of the Great War, Adolph Hitler, rumored to be part Jewish, joined the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment and became a Dispatch Runner.

He proved himself a capable and “brave soldier,” was twice wounded, once almost fatally gassed, and awarded the Iron Cross in recognition of his bravery.

“Hitler fought bravely in more than forty battles and was promoted to corporal and decorated with both the Iron Cross Second Class and First Class.” John Toland

On awarding this recognition, Colonel Anton Tubeuf further stated: “He was always ready to help out in any situation, always volunteered for the most difficult and most arduous, and the most dangerous missions, and to risk his life and well-being for the Fatherland. “

Well not quite, read the following revisionist history.

February 5, 1914, months before war broke out, the twenty-five year old Adolph Hitler, a part-Jewish [4] street cleaner and a gay prostitute, applied for military service and was turned away as 'Unfit for the army or auxiliary corps’, he was too weak and had a history of tuberculosis. Hitler By Joachim C. Fest

Unwilling to sit out the war, living next door to Ilyitch Ulyanov (Lenin), Adolph begs the King of Bavaria and is allowed to join the 6th battalion of the 2nd Bavarian Infantry Regiment as a volunteer in The War to End All Wars, AKA A Pointless Tragedy. Hitler By Joachim C. Fest

August 3, 1914 in its first engagement against the British and Belgians near Pyres, 2500 of the 3000 men in the Hitler's regiment were killed, wounded or missing. Hitler escaped without a scratch. Hitler By Joachim C. Fest

Throughout most of the war Hitler had great luck avoiding life-threatening injury. The times that Hitler cheated death became a legend that has baffled historians ever since. Hitler had narrowly escaped death an inordinate number of times, as if he led a charmed life.

More than once, he moved away from a spot where, moments later, a shell exploded killing or wounding everyone.

"I was eating my dinner in a trench… when "Suddenly a voice seemed to be saying to me 'Get up and go over there', It was so clear and insistent that I obeyed mechanically, as if it had been a military order.

I rose at once to my feet and walked twenty yards along the trench, carrying my dinner in its tin can with me. Then I sat down to go on eating, my mind being once more at rest. Hardly had I done so when a flash and deafening report came from part of the trench I just left. A stray shell had burst over the group I had been sitting, and every member of it was killed". Adolf Hitler, John Toland

“The annals of history are full of fateful moments which scholars refer to as the great ‘what if’s’ of history, where if events had taken only a slight deviation the course of human affairs would have been dramatically different. Such a moment occurred in the last moments of the Great War in the French village of Marcoing involving 27-year old Private Henry Tandey of Warwickshire, UK. Tandey was mentioned five times in dispatches and certainly earned his VC during the capture of the French village and crossing at Marcoing, his regiment held down by heavy machine gun fire Tandey crawled forward, located the machine gun nest and took it out.

Arriving at the crossing Henry Tandey braved heavy fire to place wooden planks over a gaping hole enabling troops to roll across and take the battle to the Germans.

As the ferocious battle wound down and enemy troops surrendered or retreated a wounded German soldier limped out of the maelstrom and into Private Tandey's line of fire, the battle weary man never raised his rifle and just stared at Tandey resigned to the inevitable.

I took aim but couldn't shoot a wounded man”, said Tandey, ‘so I let him go.’

Henry Tandey VC DCM MM was haunted the remainder of his life by his good deed, [he incorrectly concluded] the simple squeeze of a trigger would have spared the world a catastrophe which cost tens of millions of lives. [3.5]

Since Hitler’s grandfather and the founders of the Bavarian Illuminati are one in the same, then a Satanic guardian angel would explain how he was able to volunteer repeatedly for dangerous missions and escape death over and over, historians would later write, “he led a charmed life.” The Mind of Hitler, Walter Langer.The History Of The House Of Rothschild by Andrew Hitchcock [4] [5]

Hitler appeared on the World War stage with a march on Berlin, the Beer Hall Putsch. When the police fired into the ground, Hitler, who fought bravely in the First World War, threw himself to the ground, dislocating his shoulder, then ran away and hid until he was arrested.

Cut to victory celebrations, newspaper headlines, the hospitalization and release of the private, and to a speech given twenty years later by Adenoid Hynkel (Hitler, also played by Chaplin in a double role), now the ruthless dictator of Tomainia.

In 1918, about two months after winning the Iron Cross, Hitler was blinded by mustard gas during a battle. He was taken to the Pasewalk military hospital in northern Germany where he was diagnosed as suffering from "psychopathic hysteria."

Hitler was consequently placed under the care of a psychiatrist, Dr. Edmund Forster. What exactly was done to Hitler while under Dr. Forster's care is uncertain because, years later, in 1933, the Gestapo rounded up all psychiatric records related to Hitler's treatment and destroyed them. And in another one of those coincidences that don’t happen very often, Dr. Forster “committed suicide" in that same year.

Cut to the scene where Adenoid Hynkel has undertaken an endeavor to persecute Jews throughout the land,

The common explanation that the Germans have always been anti-Semitic is not supported by the facts.

Jews experienced a period of legal equality from 1848 until the rise of Nazi Germany. German Jews enjoyed full equality in the Weimar Republic, the work of a German Jew, many receiving high political positions like foreign minister and vice chancellor. The anti-Semitic Nazis who claimed to hate the Jews, worked with the Zionists to get the Jews to Palestine. 19th Century Anti-Semitism Revisited

Hans Mend, a soldier in Adolf Hitler's regiment, interview in 1936.

Hitler was a strange fellow. He spent long periods of time sitting in the corner holding his head in silence. Then all of a sudden he would jump up, and running about excitedly, make a speech attacking the Jews.

And as far as persecuting (ridding) the Jews in Germany: [6]

When Lenni Brenner’s, 51 Documents: Zionism Collaboration with the Nazis was published the Pro-RothIsm British Jewish central organization wanted Amazon to issue a warning to their customers, "We have urged Amazon to acknowledge on the site that this book is of a dangerous and controversial nature.” Brenner’s introduction:

The Nazi era is the most discussed period in history, yet most Jews and others are unaware of the interaction between RothIsm, Hitler and Mussolini. What happened to the Jews is constantly utilized in RothIsm propaganda as justification for the creation of the Israeli state, the silver lining around the dark cloud of desolation.

Brenner’s 51 Documents included a secret memorandum written on June 21, 1933, from the German Zionism Federation to the Nazis, “All German Jewish organizations, it was declared, should be dominated by the RothIsm spirit". In 1941, the "Stern Gang," among them Yitzhak Shamir, later Prime Minister of Israel, presented the Nazis with the Fundamental Features of the Proposal of the National Military Organization (NMO) in Palestine:

The NMO, which is well-acquainted with the goodwill of the German Reich government and its authorities towards Zionism activity … is of the opinion that: the NMO in Palestine, … offers to actively take part in the war on Germany's side. Part 2: World War I, II: Providence, Miracle, or What Really Happened

Cut to the victory celebrations where Hynkel has relaxed his stance on Tomainian Jewry in an attempt to woo a Jewish financier into giving him a loan to support his regime.

The Treaty of Versailles was the agreement among the winners, the Allies, to decide on how to punish the losers, the Central Powers. The Treaty was so unfair that when the French leader Clemencea, was asked by the press what the leaders had given the world by the treaty, he said, “We have guaranteed another war in twenty years.”

The International bankers decided the future of the defeated Germany. Prime Minister Lloyd George observed the Bankers, “swept statesmen, politicians, journalists and jurists all to one side and issued Versailles orders with the imperiousness of absolute monarchs.” The Rothschild-affiliated Bleichroder Bank of Berlin decreed the reparations clause that required Germany pay £6,600 million.

The future of Germany was the corrupt Weimar government and World War II financed by the international bankers.

Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler by Professor Antony C. Sutton, a distinguished scholar, documents the roles played by Max Warburg, J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Abraham Kuhn and Solomon Loeb (all connected to the Rothschild global financial empire) in the bloodiest, most destructive war in history.

Prescott Bush, patriarch of two Presidents and connected to the House of Rothschild, was funding Hitler from America, while German soldiers were killing Americans. Bush’s company was seized under the, “Trading With The Enemy,” Act yet the Anti-Defamation League has never criticized the Bush family.

Cut to the chancellor of Tomaini in scene after scene as he portrays the comical Fuehrer blundering as he leads the nation, making every mistake possible in his quest for world domination. Hynkel dances with a large, inflatable globe to the tune of the Prelude to Act I of Richard Wagner's Lohengrin at the end of which it suddenly pops in his hands, like a balloon. This seemed to be a premonition of the end of his regime and his unfulfilled ambitions sooner or later.

Hitler tried to avoid World War II with The Munich Agreement. The agreement, which would have prevented the War, isn’t signed because the Zionists are behind the assassination of a top German official. [7]

History books acknowledge Hitler’s invasion of Russia in the winter and letting 335,000 Allied soldiers escape at Dunkirk were blunders that probably cost him the war, but Poliakov, in his Breviaire de la haine emphasized other absurd contradictions.

After Stalingrad, the Allies were destroying his war production centre and he was forced emptying his factories to mobilize new soldiers. How could he have been fatally obsessed with the will to exterminate the Jews, instead of using them, even in inhuman conditions, in his factories?

Hannah Arendt calls it insane and Bevin Alexander in How Hitler Could Have Won World War II: The Fatal Errors That Led To Nazi Defeat writes:

The Nazis turned straightforwardly useless into the harmful when, right in the middle of the war, despite the penury of building materials and of rolling stock, they erected huge and costly extermination factories and organized the transport of millions of people...the manifest contradiction between this behavior and military imperatives gives the entire undertaking a mad, chimerical air.

With the chance to cut off the Soviet lifeline of oil, and therefore any hope of Allied victory from the east, why did Hitler insist on dividing and weakening his army, which ultimately led to the horrible battle of Stalingrad?

With the opportunity to drive the British out of Egypt and occupy all of the Middle East, opening a Nazi door to the vast oil resources of the region, why did Hitler fail to move in just a few panzer divisions to handle such an easy but crucial maneuver? Part 4: How did Hitler lose the war: Providence, Miracle, or What Really Happened

At the conclusion of the film, Hynckel (Hitler) addresses the audience directly in a speech:

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible – Jew, Gentile – black man – white. "We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness – not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone."

Conclusion

Without the connection of WW1, WW2, Adolph Hitler and the Holocaust to The Modern State of Israel, then for Chaplin, Toland and historians it was a choice between:

A street cleaner who enjoyed having women defecate on him while taking over the world with the help of George W. Bush’s grandfather. [8]

Or

The grandson of the Rothschilds (TGFE) who killed 55 million people for no apparent reason, other than a psychotic love for wars and suffering.

Therefore, Sir Charles Chaplin chose to satirize Hitler, rather than confuse the world.

The December 23 #1 story Baron Otto Von Bolschwing, SS Veteran of Eichmann’s “Jewish Affairs” at OpEdNews, was a really good article. A few days later I wrote another article, The Nazi & Jewish Affair to Remember (November 2010).

I am addicted to reading about 20^th Century history, and wanted to verify everything in the article but when I clicked on the APNewsBreak, the AP News/Miami Herald article http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/12/10/1967241/ap-us-report-adds-details-on-cold.html, the net returns: “404 - Unfortunately we are unable to locate the page you have requested.”

The article at the Miami Herald is required to support the claim that someone is trying to hide the fact that the “OSI is keeping secret over 18,000 pages to protect ongoing investigations and prosecutions.”

Here is the background as to why someone might want to remove the Miami Herald article. The text is from page 3 of The Nazi & Jewish Affair to Remember (November 2010):

“Three weeks later (December 10), APNewsBreak identifies the report as Hitler's Shadow: Nazi War Criminals, U.S. Intelligence, and the Cold War, and goes into the details on the Nazi Gestapo, and the Ukrainian fascist, Mykola Lebed…

The December 10 article, unlike the one on November 13, now defends the US’ intelligence officials decision to provide a safe haven for Nazi criminals…

In 2007, the OSI had waived more than 23,000 pages, but, as of this date is keeping secret over 18,000 pages, allegedly to protect the “ongoing investigations (going on for decades) and prosecutions.” [Let’s see, the war ended 66 years ago, anyone who is being investigated is either deceased or over 85 years of age. Why would they need to keep secret almost half the records?]

Mysteriously, the next day (12/11), the December 10 article is rewritten by Randy Herschaft and titled Report details ties between US and ex-Nazis, but this version fails to mention the OSI is keeping secret over 18,000 pages to protect ongoing investigations and prosecutions of war criminals who are on their death bed.”

I have archived the original story, December 10 AP: US report adds details on Cold War Nazi Intel at http://www.unfilteredhistory.com/blog/uncategorized/ap-us-report-adds-details-on-cold-war-nazi-intel/.

The introduction is really interesting.

“And since the Internet Police don’t take any chances, the source for the APNewsBreak, the National Archives: http://www.archives.gov/iwg, has been removed as well.

[2] The Chaplin Hitler similarities go beyond their superficially similar looks, most famously their toothbrush moustaches. Furthermore, the two men were born only four days apart in April 1889, and both grew up in relative poverty with alcoholic fathers and ailing mothers. Both were great fans of composer Richard Wagner.

[3] According to Lothar Machtan's, "The Hidden Hitler"(2001), Hitler was a homosexual with a long police record for seducing young men both in Munich and Vienna. These records reached both Russia and England but were never used for propaganda, more evidence that the war may have been a charade. (Machtan also says Hitler tried to join the Communist Party in 1919 but was rejected for demanding too much, evidence he may have been a "gun for hire.")

The Council For National Policy Part II the British Eugenics Establishment

Greg Hallett's book "Hitler Was A British Agent" (2005) depicts war as a ghoulish illusion conjured by occult magicians in order to degrade and eventually enslave humanity in world government.

For example, Adolph Hitler was in England in 1912-1913, a fact supported by his sister-in-law's book "The Memoirs of Bridget Hitler"(1979). Many historians including Hitler biographer John Toland have ignored this startling information. (If Hallett is right, historians like Toland are guilty of sanitizing Hitler and actually making him more credible than he was.)

Hallett says Hitler spent from February to November 1912 being brainwashed and trained at the British Military Psych-Ops War School at Tavistock in Devon and in Ireland. "War machines need war and [that means they need] funded, trained and supported double agents to be their patsies, their puppets and their puppet enemies."

And while you might discount Hallett's circumstantial claim of the occult aspect in the rise of Hitler because he bases his conclusion on the testimony of a shadowy network of retired intelligence agents, Louis Pauwels’s The Morning of the Magicians and numerous other works corroborate Hitler’s connection to the Occult.

However Pauwels’s work is full of nonsense about Hitler’s “mistakes” that cost him the war but he has numerous interesting insights:

It is true that the Nazis would have won if the modern world had only been what most of us still think it is; a legacy, purely and simply, from the materialistic and scientific 19^th century, when the man in the street looked upon the Earth as a place to be exploited for his enjoyment.

[Excerpts from The Morning of the Magicians at Adolph Hitler: War Hero, Street Cleaner, Prostitute or Secret Agent: A Psychohistory Analysis makes it clear Pauwels had a number of Keys but did not know to unlock The Key to the Secret of the Universe]

[6] Doctor Kubovy, from the Tel Aviv "Documentation Center", admitted in 1960 "There is no document signed by Hitler, Himmler or Heydrich which speaks of exterminating the Jews... and in 1981, Walter Laqueur, author of The terrible secret, admitted: "Until now, we have never found Hitler's order to destroy the European Jewish community, and in all probability the order was never given." There is no order because Hitler used the term Entfernung of the Jews – removal or expulsion.

[7] The Munich Agreement
From the World Book Encyclopedia:

On September 29, 1938, an agreement was signed between Hitler and Great Britain’s Neville Chamberlain calling for a peaceful revision of the wrongs committed by the Treaty of Versailles that would have avoided World War II. Hitler said the Sudetland was, “the last territorial claim I have to make in Europe.” However, German troops invaded Poland on Sept 1, 1939, starting World War II. The Munich Agreement was one of the worst of the tragic blunders that led up to the war.

Blunder? Unlikely.

World Book scholars neglected to read the November 14, 1938 front page of the Völkischer Beobachter, reporting the death of Vom Rath.

“Reichskristallnacht, Crystal night: cause and effect.”

The Munich agreement was not signed because Ernst vom Rath was killed when a Polish Jew, Herschel Grynszpan, walked into the German Embassy in France one week earlier and assassinates ( according to most historical accounts) a “top German” diplomat, as revenge for the expulsion of Herschel’s parents from Germany to Poland.

Joseph Goebbels suspects a Jewish conspiracy and plans a show trial hoping to demonstrate Grynszpan’s link with the RothIsms to plunge Europe into a war, but the trial is scrapped when Grynszpan fabricates a story about a homosexual liaison between the junior diplomat and himself.

The wartime court documents reveal Goebbels is correct.

Grynszpan first accosts Count Welczek, the German ambassador, in the street outside the embassy, and demanded to know "where he could find the ambassador". Count Welczek sensing trouble, did not identify himself, but helpfully directed the stranger into the First Secretary's office, where the assassin, who was well-heeled with both money and an expensive gun, pumped the bullets into Ernst vom Rath, believing him to be the ambassador. The unemployed illegal immigrant Grynszpan had checked into an expensive hotel just round the corner from the offices of LICA, the forerunner of the modern RothIsm activist group LICRA. One of the foremost barristers in Paris is hired by LICA to defend Grynszpan after he was arrested. [3]

[8] One of Hitler's opponents in the Nazi Party, Otto Strasser, claimed that the Nazi dictator forced his niece Geli Raubal to urinate and defecate on him. Strasser, who fled Germany for his life, includes the allegations in his memoirs and was personally interviewed by Langer in the process of researching the wartime report.

• Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (1925)

On the 13th October, 1918, I was caught in a heavy British gas attack at Ypres. I stumbled back with burning eyes taking with me my last report of war. A few hours later, my eyes had turned into glowing coals and it had grown dark around me.

Adolf Hitler was in hospital recovering from a chlorine gas attack when he heard that the German government had surrendered.

Everything went black before my eyes; I tottered and groped my way back to the ward, threw myself on my bunk, and dug my burning head into my blanket and pillow. So it had all been in vain. In vain all the sacrifices and privations; in vain the hours in which, with mortal fear clutching at our hearts, we nevertheless did our duty; in vain the death of two million who died. Had they died for this? Did all this happen only so that a gang of wretched criminals could lay hands on the Fatherland.

I knew that all was lost. Only fools, liars and criminals could hope for mercy from the enemy. In these nights hatred grew in me, hatred for those responsible for this deed. Miserable and degenerate criminals! The more I tried to achieve clarity on the monstrous events in this hour, the more the shame of indignation and disgrace burned my brow.

• Kurt Ludecke first heard Adolf Hitler speak in 1922.

I studied this slight, pale man, his brown hair parted on one side and falling again and again over his sweating brow. Threatening and beseeching, with small pleading hands and flaming steel-blue eyes, he had the look of a fanatic. Presently my critical faculty was swept away he was holding the masses, and me with them, under a hypnotic spell by the sheer force of his conviction.

• The Münchener Post (20th September 1931)

In a flat on Prinzregentenplatz a 23-year-old music student, a niece of Hitler's, has shot herself. For two years the girl had been living in a furnished room in a flat on the same floor on which Hitler's flat was situated. What drove the student to kill herself is still unknown. She was Angela Raubal, the daughter of Hitler's half-sister. On Friday 18 September there was once again a violent quarrel between Herr Hitler and his niece. What was the reason? The vivacious 23-year-old music student, Geli, wanted to go to Vienna, she wanted to become engaged. Hitler was strongly opposed to this. The two of them had recurrent disagreements about it. After a violent scene, Hitler left his flat on the second floor of 16 Prinzregentenplatz.

On Saturday 19 September it was reported that Fraulein Geli had been found shot in the flat with Hitler's gun in her hand. The dead woman's nose was broken, and there were other serious injuries on the body. From a letter to a female friend living in Vienna, it is clear that Fraulein Geli had the firm intention of going to Vienna. The letter was never posted. The mother of the girl, a half-sister of Herr Hitler, lives in Berchtesgaden; she was summoned to Munich. Gentlemen from the Brown House then conferred on what should be published about the motive for the suicide. It was agreed that Geli's death should be explained in terms of frustrated artistic ambitions.

We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German Naval Agreement as Symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again. We are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries.

• Basil Liddell Hart, The Other Side of the Hill (1930)

Before the war, and still more during the conquest of the West, Hitler came to appear a gigantic figure, combining the strategy of a Napoleon with the cunning of a Machiavelli and the fanatical fervour of a Mahomet. After his first check in Russia, his figure began to shrink, and towards the end he was regarded as a blundering amateur in the military field, whose crazy orders and crass ignorance had been the Allies' greatest asset. All the disasters of the German Army were attributed to Hitler; all its successes were credited to the German General Staff.

(20) After the war General Guenther Blumentritt wrote about how Hitler reacted after the defeat of France in June 1940.

Hitler was in very good humour, he admitted that the course of the campaign had been 'a decided miracle', and gave us his opinion that the war would be - finished in six weeks. After that he wished to conclude a reasonable peace with France, and then the way would be free for an agreement with Britain.

He then astonished us by speaking with admiration of the British Empire, of the necessity for its existence, and of the civilization that Britain had brought into the world. He remarked, with a shrug of the shoulders, that the creation of its Empire had been achieved by means that were often harsh, but 'where there is planing, there are shavings flying'. He compared the British Empire with the Catholic Church - saying they were both essential elements of stability in the world. He said that all he wanted from Britain was that she should acknowledge Germany's position on the Continent. The return of Germany's lost colonies would be desirable but not essential, and he would even offer to support Britain with troops if she should be involved in any difficulties anywhere. He remarked that the colonies were primarily a matter of prestige, since they could not be held in war, and few Germans could settle in the tropics.

He concluded by saying that his aim was to make peace with Britain on a basis that she would regard as compatible with her honour to accept.

• Ulf Schmidt, Karl Brandt: The Nazi Doctor (2007)

For almost two years, until the arrival of Theodor Morell, Hitler's personal physician and a former ship's doctor, Brandt remained the unchallenged authority and first point of call in all questions relating to Hitler's health and well-being and that of his staff. In practical terms this had little meaning, because there was hardly anything to do in the early years of Brandt's assignment, except that Hitler became increasingly concerned with his own mortality. Hitler must have felt a sense of exhaustion after those frantic years in opposition, and the need to press on if he wanted to achieve his monumental goals. Despite an unhealthy diet and lack of physical exercise, his health remained relatively good, except for the stomach spasms which plagued him for years. In December 1934, Hitler poisoned himself with neo-Ballistol, a kind of oil hunters use to clean their rifle barrels. A medical variant of this oil existed, and Hitler must have been under the impression that it would help him to overcome his constant gastrointestinal troubles. His symptoms were headaches, double vision, dizziness and tinnitus. The SS physician, Ernst Robert Grawitz, who later became the President of the German Red Cross, diagnosed neo-Ballistol poisoning. In total secrecy, Hitler was rushed to the Westend Sanatorium, where he was X-rayed and his stomach was emptied. 133 It was one of the few instances where Hitler readily complied with his doctor's advice.

Hitler generally exhibited an extraordinary shyness when it came to undressing in front of physicians. To be examined by Brandt or any other of his doctors became a major undertaking; he, the man in charge of Germany's future, could hardly bear the idea of being the object of a medical examination. Whenever Hitler fell ill, Brandt and his colleagues needed all available diplomatic skills to rescue a situation which could easily develop into a national crisis. By 1942, the health of Hitler had reached such a level of strategic importance that every person who came into direct contact with the Fuhrer, or was working in his immediate vicinity, needed to prove themselves absolutely free of illnesses or disease-causing agents.

Hanni Morell, the wife of Theodor Morell, compared his eccentricities in all matters concerned with his body with those of an old virginal spinster. To conduct a thorough medical examination was almost impossible; X-ray pictures were out of the question. Morell had enormous difficulties in fulfilling his medical duties. Comprehensive neurological or internal examinations were never carried out. Hitler's lungs and abdomen were never examined. Until the last days of the Reich, Morell tried persistently, but unsuccessfully, to persuade Hitler to have a full X-ray of his body. Whenever Hitler was in pain, Morell would arrive with his doctor's bag in Hitler's sleeping quarters, the only place where examinations were permitted, and felt or touched the area of Hitler's body where it hurt. Further chemical and radiological tests could only be carried out after persistent persuasion. To a limited extent the measuring of blood pressure, pulse, heartbeat and temperature were possible, as were standard reflex tests. Yet Hitler disliked finding himself in a potentially compromising position, for example when he needed to vomit. The administration of drugs by injection (because parts of his body had to be exposed) needed great diplomatic skill. Even being measured by a tailor produced major problems because Hitler hated to be touched. All such eccentricities suddenly had no meaning when parts of his head or face were injured, especially those organs such as his voice or eyes which Hitler regarded as instrumental in controlling the people and the masses. He was hypersensitive to the slightest idea that these organs might be defective - and undermine the popular image and impact of the Fuhrer cult - so the best experts in the country would be ordered to treat him with all available skills. At these times Hitler made no fuss.
