HISTORIAN FINDS ‘HITLER’S FIRST AUTOBIOGRAPHY’

EDINBURGH: The first biography of Adolf Hitler which presented him as “Germany’s saviour” and compared him to Jesus may have been written by Hitler himself, a Scottish historian has claimed. Adolf Hitler: Sein Leben und seine Reden by Victor von Koerber was the first major profile of Hitler and appeared in 1923. Thomas Weber has unearthed documents which indicates it was “almost certainly” written by Hitler as a “shameless but clever act of self-promotion ... likening his moment of politicalisation to Jesus’ resurrection”. – AFP
