    PJ is talking about the rationality/mental excuses Hitler made in his mind for his decisions.

    Apart from the dog/mistress, I don't think he killed anyone with his own hands. Which fits, he always liked having his underlings do the dirty work.

    Your reply is I thought of as well, when I read Panzer's post.

    No problem.

    I was speaking more of 20th century dictators, most of whom were consumed only with personal power. Hitler was a bit more complicated than, say, Stalin or Hussein. Robespierre is an excellent example of the kind of 'ends justify the means' delusions Hitler indulged in, though.

    He killed himself and his mistress.
    IIRC, Eva committed suicide via cyanide.

    It looked pretty bad.

    Anyways, Sebastian Haffner is one of the best historians on WW2 Germany and Hitler in particular, really recommend his work (dunno about any translations)
