"Any alliance whose purpose is not the
intention to wage war is senseless and
useless"

-Hitler in "Mein Kampf", 1925

Hitler the tax dodger: He spent years evading
taxes and owed German authorities a total of
405,000 Reichmarks equal to 8,000,000 today
but his tax debts were forgiven after he came
to power...I wonder how he worked that out?
Hitler earned 1,232,000 Reichmarks from his
book "Mein Kampf", and should have paid about
600,000 Reichmarks as income but he didn't.
Teachers at that time made 4,800 marks a year.
Hitler said he donated much of it to charity for widows, but he didn't.
To lower his taxable income, Hitler used many
tax strategies that are used today. Hitler's
troubles with the Munich tax office vanished after he took power in 1933.
The infamous 1933 Enabling Act gave Hitler
dictatorial powers and also helped win his
battles with the tax office. The tax office
wiped out his 405,494 tax debt.

"The art of leadership..consists in
consolidating the attention of the
people against a single adversary
and taking care that nothing will
split up that attention".

PORTRAIT OF EVIL:

One of the most well known photos taken of
Adolf Hitler, his official photographer was
Heinrich Hoffman, who was a Nazi Party Member, survived the war and was later arrested by the Americans he was tried and sentenced to four-years in prison for war profiteering.
All his photos were seized by the US, and are now in the National Archives, Washington D.C.

Did you know:
Every German Household, Business Large and Small, School, Government Office, Military Facilities throughout Nazi Germany had this, photograph, or ones like it hanging for all to see.
I wouldn't be surprised if people in Germany carried a small size photo of the Fuhrer in their wallet or purse.

WHEN THE NIGHTMARE ENDED:

At the end of WWII how many Germans burned, tore up and trashed the Fuhrer's photo how, many were afraid being branded a Nazi who were they frightened of the most the Western Allies or the Russians.
Could many Germans really believe Hitler and the Nazis were gone, and the price they paid for following a mad man into hell.
