If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

During my university time, I started to have, let’s say, a strange inclination. This tendency was weird and evil; from a psychological aspect, controversial philosophical ideas (general ideas) and controversial personalities aroused my interest. Since then, I have wanted to read everything I can, even if it touches the forbidden according to society’s morals.

I remember my professor telling me to read everything I could, no matter what. It would teach me something and widen my horizons. And that is true. Reading a delicate, disputed opinion, book, or ideology doesn’t mean you adopt that, but at least you will know how these people think and tick.

Long story short, I made this introduction to help you understand why I chose that specific historical figure.

And that iiiiiis: Adolf Hitler. Why????

There isn’t much known about the private Hitler and what he thought. He wrote a book, did some paintings, loved his German shepherd dogs adorably—I think more than his lover Eva Braun—and spent much time at his idyllic mountain home in Obersalzberg, where he made crucial political decisions. And, of course, he is best known for spreading violence and war over Europe and the world. But there isn’t much information about the true person who spread violence and death all over the world.

I would ask him, “What were his true intentions? Why did he make these decisions? “How did he feel during and after he made these decisions? Why his hate, especially against the Jews? What would have been his next step if he had won the war? (Thank God he didn’t!) How could he still lie to the Germans and send German soldiers in sure death, as he knew that the war was lost for Germany? Generally, what did he truly think about the Germans as they believed every lie he told them? And lastly, why did he kill himself?”
