"Books, books, always books!" August Kubizek once wrote. "I just can't imagine Adolf without books. He had them piled up around him at home. He always had a book with him wherever he went." Kubizek, Hitler's only real friend in his teenage years, recalled after the war.

book buying represented his third largest tax deduction (after general travel and transportation): 1,692 marks in 1930, with similar deductions in the two years following. More telling still is the five-year insurance policy Hitler took out in October of 1934, with the Gladbacher Fire Insurance Company, on his six-room apartment on the Prinzregentenplatz, in downtown Munich. In the letter of agreement accompanying the policy Hitler valued his book collection, said to consist of 6,000 volumes, at 150,000 marks—half the value of the entire policy.

Imagine being hitler and being in prison for the november beer hall putsch and literally the only thing anyone wants to read in your garbage trash ghost written memoir that hess is compiling is about the DETAILS OF THE PUTSCH ITSELF and instead of narrating that you waste everyones time with 1000 pages of racialist social darwinism and your pathetic inferiority complex childhood. Twelve years later you murder your dog and kill youself in a bunker with your mistress who married you a couple of days before.

Worked for him and I say this as a liberal. Honestly, he shouldn't have declared war on the US because Japan didn't declare war on the USSR. He didn't owe japan shit. They didn't help him out kek. Literally would have won the war if it wasn't for that one single bone head move.

I completely forgot that Hitler doesn't even talk about the Putsch at all in the book.

The US probably would have come up with a reason anyway, or Churchill would have found a way.
