...shot himself in his Berlin bunker on April 30, 1945, he left behind few written documents about either his public or private life. The gap may now be filled. The weekly West German magazine Stern has announced that it obtained 62 volumes of personal diaries that the Führer had written by hand during his dozen years in power. The new documents could prove immensely valuable to historians studying Hitler's personality and actions...

What really enslaved mankind, Hitler raves on, was the Jewish invention of a God purer than any other, a God whose "inconceivable, unimaginable presence envelops us." Says he: "The Jew invented conscience and left man a guilty serf."
