Hilter’s pathology emerged with the increased use of amphetamines. He started his movement believing strongly in racial purity, though. It was all the rage in that epoch. We even had gaggles of those types in America. You’re no doubt familiar with Margaret Sanger. She was of the same mindset as Hitler, and that mindset was inveigling europe to the extent that rational people were welcoming the means to achieve ‘purity’.
It doesn’t surprise me; however, I, personally, would be extremely reluctant to ascribe to any one thing the complex Hitler phenomenon.
Granted, I’m no Hitler scholar, but it seems to me that there have been hundreds of character studies done of him, and - according to those who are supposed to know - every one has fallen short.
It sometimes seems to me that Hitler wasn’t a human being so much as he was a Cosmic Event.
