Aye, all reports indiciate the only one in the room with him before the suicide was Braun and she didn't walk out of there either.
He certainly felt that way, but I don't think I've ever seen any evidence to show that those were his final words. It's a great quote, though.
- eru 16y agoOh, the story with the bunker is a bit of a metaphor. Hitler ordered scorched earth tactics at the end of the war, ostensibly because this should have made it harder for the allies. But in his ideological point of view, this was because he thought the Germans weren't worth it anymore. See http://www.br-online.de/wissen-bildung/collegeradio/medien/geschichte/nerobefehl/ http://www.br-online.de/wissen-bildung/collegeradio/medien/g... and http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerobefehl http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerobefehl and http://www.lwl.org/westfaelische-geschichte/portal/Internet/finde/langDatensatz.php?urlID=602&url_tabelle=tab_websegmente http://www.lwl.org/westfaelische-geschichte/portal/Internet/... Sorry, all of the sources are in German. (But that's German history for you.)
- gruseom 16y agoOh, I see, you meant knowledgeable about the general situation, not about what Hitler said as such. I think you got downvoted (not by me, fwiw) for appearing to take the quote literally. As for the general situation, that's quite interesting. Shows how much Hitler cared about the German people.
- eru 16y agoThere's also a direct quote somewhere from Hitler, where he says so outright. It was written at the end of the war and meant to be kept secret. (Something about how the `Slavic races have proved superior, and the Germans don't deserve it anymore.')
