The problem with Hitler. The man nobody knows
Authors

Abstract
We know so much about Adolf Hitler. We
probably have more information— facts, details, and minutiae—about this man’s
life than any other major figure of modern times. Nonetheless, we still feel
that we do not know the man. His life is one of the greatest mysteries in human
history. Why is it that Hitler, about whom more facts and details are known
than perhaps any other figure in modern history (perhaps in all
history), remains such a mystery? Hitler frustrated his opponents, amazed
neutral observers, and delighted his supporters by pulling off the seemingly
“impossible”. He never would have made it into power except by accomplishing
these five “impossibilities”; and it was this, more than anything else, that
bound his supporters to him, gave him an aura of exceptionality, and catapulted
this otherwise ugly little man into power. This article will illustrate that
five “impossibilities” and their influence on Hitler’s personality: The Early
Years: 1919-1923; The Putsch Trial; The Refounding of the Party; The Political
Earthquake of 1930 and his ascense to the power.
