Hitler Was Selected Time Magazine’s Man of the Year for 1938:
Hitler, Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier and Mussolini attended a one-day conference in Munich on September 29, 1938. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler and convinced British and French politicians to accept some of Hitler’s territorial claims in exchange for the assurance of no further aggression from Germany in an agreement called the ‘Munich Agreement’. As Germany had been granted the German speaking Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia as per the agreement, it was perceived at that time to be a successful preventive measure against a possible outbreak of a world war. Due to the Munich summit, Hitler was selected ‘Man of the Year’ by Time magazine for 1938, a premature attribution beyond doubts.
In his youth, Hitler had a crush on a Jewish girl by the name of Stefanie Isak.
He never worked up the courage to say anything to her, which doesn't sound like Hitler. He did have fantasies of kidnapping her or even committing suicide along with her, though, which is very Hitler sounding.
Hitler had a nephew named William Patrick Hitler, who fought against him as part of the U.S Navy.
The grandson of the woman who created Hitler's bunker created Saddam Hussein's bunker.
He Practiced for speechs by taking photos of the swore ... making speeches
A megalomaniac supreme, Hitler was so obsessed with his image that he had photographer Heinrich Hoffman take photos of him making speeches, so he could see how badass he looked. Fortunately for us, despite being told to destroy the photos afterwards, Hoffman did not and included them in his memoir instead. (And for that we are all truly grateful.)
