There is a common desire amongst the media and academics to describe Hitler as a maniacal lunatic who spent his time running about like a maniacal lunatic, it's untrue.
Hitler's psycopathy was far more complex than that.
Ian Kershaw has written a very authoritive book on Hitler in two volumes ("Hubris" and "Nemesis") also you should look for the B.B.C documentries "The Nazis A Warning From History" and "Hitler, The Nazis And The Final Solution" avoid the film starring Robert Carlyle "Hitler, The Rise Of Evill" as it's cack.
Hitler inspired great loyalty in his acolytes, Reinhard Spitzy when asked if Hitler turned up at his door tomorrow knowing now what he'd done, what would he say?
Without hesitation he clicked his heels and said "mein Fuhrer, what have you done? Kvik come with me and I'll hide you in the mountains" both he and Hermann Doerring (Hitler's valet at the obers alts berg) said the same thing, "because with me Hitler was alright."
He loved his mother dearly and changed the date of mother's day in Germany to her birthday.
I'm not a Hitlerist his politics were appalling, but you will read and see a lot of nonsense written about him on a personal level.
