Hitler as 'Enlightenment Intellectual'
A specter is haunting the world -- the specter of Hitlerism. That, in short, is the stern warning of this provocative book, Hitler as Philosophe: Remnants of the Enlightenment in National Socialism,
by Lawrence Birken ... In spite of decades of vehement vilification,
says author Birken, Hitler's views have enduring and dangerous appeal
-- not because they are bizarre and alien, but precisely because they
are rational and well grounded in Western thought.

My Patient, Hitler: A Memoir of Hitler's Jewish Physician
Dr. Eduard Bloch
http://www.ihr.org/jhr/mypatienthitler.html
... What kind of boy was Adolf Hitler? Many biographers have
put him down as harsh-voiced, defiant, untidy; as a young ruffian who
personified all that is unattractive. This simply is not true. As a
youth he was quiet, well-mannered and neatly dressed ... In the
practice of my profession it is natural that I should have witnessed
many scenes such as this one, yet none of them left me with quite the
same impression. In all my career I have never seen anyone so prostrate
with grief as Adolf Hitler.

Irving and Weber Speak on 'Hitler's Place in History'
Institute for Historical Review
http://www.ihr.org/news/050427_meeting.shtml
British historian David Irving and IHR director Mark Weber
tackle the emotion-laden topic of Hitler's place in history in two
talks at an IHR meeting. A balanced or objective portrayal of Hitler is
nearly impossible in today's America, says Weber in his 45-minute
address. The portrayal of Hitler and his regime is grotesquely
unbalanced, not only in the US mass media, but even in supposedly
authoritative history books and reference works. Nonetheless, worldwide
fascination with Hitler shows no sign of diminishing, Weber goes on,
noting the seemingly endless stream of books, articles, television
broadcasts and motion pictures devoted to this extraordinary man.

Hitler's Final Address To The Nation
Adolf Hitler made his final address to the nation in a radio broadcast on Jan. 30, 1945, the twelfth anniversary of the National Socialist seizure of power. Here are the concluding sentences of that historic address, with English-language subtitles. In this talk, delivered three months before his death, he concludes with determined confidence that, in spite of setbacks, Germany and Europe will ultimately prevail against the grave threat from the East. This brief video clip, just 42 seconds in length, has garnered two and a half million "hits" or "views." It's from a 1997 BBC documentary "The Nazis: A Warning From History."
