REAL HISTORY CHANNEL. The noted French historian, Raymond Cartier, repentantly mused that ‘Corporal Hitler was in all probability one of the German soldiers who got closest to Paris in 1918.’ Paris was just 20 miles away.

In another of history’s ironies, Adolf Hitler, a regiment’s courier, was one of a patrol that nearly captured the French Premier Clemenceau.

The Untouchable Führer

The times that Adolf Hitler cheated death became a legend that has baffled historians ever since.

Typically, in one corner of conflict, the troops of the Liszt Regiment were held down in shell craters, the trenches having already been destroyed, among the ruins of a village called Le Barque.

Just one survivor

Of nine regimental dispatch riders, seven had just been slain. In that command post, such as it was, there were ten officers and two couriers.

Suddenly a British bomb exploded at the entrance to the refuge. There was just one survivor, Adolf Hitler.

Mein Comrade

As many pictures testify, during his years at the front, Corporal Adolf Hitler, far from being a loner, was very comradely.

Ever his own man, his daily routines were characterised by civility. He was never known for embracing trench crudities or brothel humour, and was generous to a fault.

Highly Respected

LEFT: Hitler later visited the trenches where he had fought hand-to-hand combat.

Yet despite having a personality that usually draws disdain, the soldier Adolf Hitler was highly respected by his comrades.

Sebastian Haffner, a Jewish writer and fanatically anti-Hitler, conceded that ‘Hitler had a fierce courage unmatched by anyone at the time or since.’

Praise from a Jew

Another Jew by the name of Karl Hanisch, who shared lodgings with Hitler, recalled him as ‘a pleasant and likeable man who took an interest in the welfare of all his companions.’

He later recalled that his fellow lodger ‘was neither proud nor arrogant, and he was always available and willing to help.

Hitler the Philanthropist

If someone needed fifty hellers to pay for another night’s lodging, Hitler would always give whatever he had in his pocket without another thought.

On several occasions I personally saw him take the initiative and pass the hat for such a collection.’

Hitler’s war heroism is a matter of record, and it was only when he entered politics, in a bid to stem his rising popularity, that it was ever questioned. However, detractors were always forced to retract their comments and pay damages.

Historians have noted that Adolf Hitler was born into poverty and died penniless. In fact, he was the only statesman who never had a bank account.
