The World Wars & the Postwar Order
อดอล์ฟ ฮิตเลอร์ 3 เรื่องเหลือเชื่อ ที่หลายคนอาจจะไม่เคยรู้
Summary
First, his view of Asia: Hitler acknowledged the greatness of Asian civilisation and feared a future collision between Europe and Asia.
Second, the pursuit of sacred objects and occult power — the Spear of Destiny, a Buddha statue carved from meteoric iron, and an interest in the esoteric texts of Tibet.
Third, the unaccounted forty hours after the suicide, which is the source of the many escape theories.
Key points
Nazi racial theory did not agree with itself
Admiring Asian civilisation while ranking races is a contradiction the documents actually contain.
The occult interest is documented
The Tibet expedition genuinely happened and is on record. It is not a later invention.
The missing forty hours are a gap in the evidence
Escape theories grow in that gap, which is how conspiracy theories always work.
Strangeness does not make it lighter
These curiosities should not be allowed to obscure what the regime actually did.
