content: One thing that blew my mind were the REAL circumstances surrounding his and Eva's suicide, and the fact they did it not because of cowardice like our American schools insinuated, but because he'd seen what they did to Mussolini a matter of days before. When they tried and hanged Mussolini, they tortured him first for hours, along with his wife. They dragged their bodies through the streets and hung them mutilated upside-down. Hitler loved Eva Braun and didn't want that for them. So they took their own lives and had their bodies burned so that the Soviets especially couldn't humiliate and desecrate them. Make no mistake, Hitler had the means and the incentive to escape. He could have done it. His closest people were trying to make plans for his escape. Hitler refused to escape. His personal secretary has testified to this, and neither she or Eva - given the opportunity - wanted to leave him. That's the sign of a leader that the people care about. Nobody in the US would die for any of our leaders. This is the danger of Hitler to the powers that be. He represents their greatest threat, a man who can rouse the people and actually make them care about him.
