Everything has been said about Adolf Hitler and everybody has made a comment about him. Some quotes are quite interesting and reveal a lot about the Fuhrer. Here are some that I deem worth of a quote even if they are contradicting each other. Hitler's personality was complex and nobody really knew him or understood him well.

But first, I would like to propose you to read an article written in 1941 by Hauptmann Mayr who recruited Hitler in 1919 to "spy" on the Communists and the Reds in post-world war Germany. It might be a little bit "inflated" but it is revealing of the real man :

1. I was Hitler's boss part1
2. I was Hitler's boss part2
3. I was Hitler's boss part3
4. I was Hitler's boss part4
5. I was Hitler's boss part5
6. I was Hitler's boss part6
7. I was Hitler's boss part7

And now some quotes :

• "A fanatically hysteric romantic with a brutal will." Karl Alexander von Muller, nazi historian.
• " The Fuhrer was a madman surrounded by serfs." General Leo Geyr von Schweppenburg, panzer Commander during WW2, in 1945
• "God gave the savior to the German people. We have faith, deep and unshakeable faith, that he [Hitler] was sent to us by God to save Germany." Hermann Goering.
• "We believe that the Fuhrer is fulfilling a divine mission to German destiny! This belief is beyond challenge." Rudolf Hess.
