It has been said that Hitler and
all the high officials of the nazi
regime are misfits. To use the slang
of today, we’d say they ware freaks.
Hitler 1s supposed to be a paranoiac;
Goering is an ex-morphine addict;
Goebbels is club-footed and eases his
inferiority complex ify Jewish belting;
Julius Streicher is a sadist in his
brutality toward the Jews, and the
others have their various quaint
traits. It it is true that “whom the
gods would destroy they first make
mad,** the gods had best get busy
or all the rest of the people in Europe
will be destroyed first.
