Hitler's Henchmen

During WW2, Hitler in his charismatic way, swept away all who stood in his way of becoming the chancellor of the Third Reich.

By this time he had prepared to outweigh all of Europe in water, on land, the sea and the sky. He had created a polished war machine.

Hitler was a psychopath who wanted more Lebensraum. That was just a front. Beneath lay a determination to rule the world. He also wanted to rid Europe of all Jews, gypsies and those he regarded as untermench

He surrounded himself with those who would help him to reach his goal. Like him,these men were cruel and without feeling and adoring their Fuhrer.
