ABSTRACT
In the eyes of the people Hitler was the Leader who watched over the nation day and night. This was hardly so. But Hitler’s lax scheduling could be regarded as a lifestyle characteristic of the artistic temperament. According to my observations, he often allowed a problem to mature during the weeks when he seemed entirely taken up with trivial matters. Then after the ‘sudden insight’ came, he would spend a few days of intensive work giving final shape to his solution. . . . Once he had come to a decision, he relapsed again into his idleness.
