ABSTRACT

“By the time Adolf Hitler became Germany’s leader,” says Victor, “he was convinced he had been chosen supernaturally to save his nation in the world. His egocentrism and grandiosity began early in his childhood and grew until he saw himself as bold truly divine.” Alois Hitler, Hitler’s father, was the illegitimate son of Maria Schicklgruber, who became pregnant—supposedly—by Leopold Frankenberger, while working as a maid for a wealthy Jewish family. Hitler lived constrained by three important emotional forces: his father’s violence; his mother’s adoration, and, at the same time, her inability to protect him from his father’s violence. These main factors structured Hitler’s pre-conceptual trauma, his main idiosyncrasy or Cain’s mark. These forces were absolutely determinant of the way in which he became politically driven in the future. Unity Valkyrie Mitford was a young and attractive British aristocrat, who became extremely infatuated with Hitler, and became a strong supporter of Nazism and a hater of Jews.
