Hitler ( Backing Hitler by Robert Gellately) p.34 The perception that Germany was falling apart during the Great Depression was reinforced by what seemed like a crime wave... Stat ...for all across Germany, there was a steady climb for most years from 1927 to 1932 in thefts of all kinds, as well as in armed robbery and fraud. The rise was continuous in large cities...and some crimes nearly doubled between 1927 and 1932. In the last years of the Weimar Republic, newspapers were full of stories about crime, drugs, and murder, including the activities of organized gangs. There ware many accounts of financial scandals, sexual predators, serial murderers, and even cannibalism."

Appearance:
Lenin:
(p.11)
"...his remarkable and disconcerting eyes. He had a gaze that was too sharp, too insistent, eyes of an indefinable color, the "gaze of a wolf" said some."
I want my book! I can't find the detail I know exists!

p. 10 Napoleon & Hitler Desmond Seward
"They appeared from nowhere to become "saviours" of their new countries; Napoleon was not a Frenchman, but a Corsican who kept an Italian accent until he was nearly thirty, while Hitler never lost his Austiran accent."

Parents:
p.21 Stalin
"It was only in retrospect that the cocktail of permanent harm to his personality became detectable. He was mistreated by his father, and detested him. At the same time his mother handled him as a very special person; much was expected of him."
Hitler
I know it exists!!! I don't have the right books!!! scream

Hubris (Hitler)
p.12
"Adolf's early years were spent, then, under the smothering protectiveness of an over-anxious mother in a household dominated by the threatening presence of a disciplinarian father, against whose wrath the submissive Klara was helpless to protect her offspring."

Origin:
Hubris (Hitler)
p. 10
"In the very first pages of Mein Kampf, Adolf was to emphasize- what became Nazi stock-in-trade- how providential it was that he had been born in Braunau am Inn, on the border of the two countries he saw it as his life's task to unite."
(Meaning Austria & Germany)
p. 15
"In November 1898, a final move for Alois took place when he bought a house with a small plot of attached land in Leondig, a village on the outskirts of Linz. From now on, the family settled in the Linz area, and Adolf- down to his days in the bunker in 1945- looked upon Linz as his home town.

Pre-dictatorial Career
...This kinda seems unnecessary, and I imagine time won't allow for it, especially considering I can talk for a minute with just like...one main point.

Name change:
Ulyanov - Lenin (p.45) Reference to Lena River
Dzhughashvili - Stalin (p.85) "Stal" = steel
Schicklgruber - Hitler (p.1) (p.7) Hitler was the more distinctive form of "Hüttler, Hiedler, Hietler, Hütler" which were used by Alois's adopted father & uncle. Changed 13 years before Adolf's birth.

Changing language
p. 23 Stalin
"Joseph took time to benefit fully from his educational opportunity. Not having spoken Russian at home, he stayed in the prepatory classes for two years. But he proved a quick learner and already knew enough of the language to leap over the beginners' class."
p. 10 Napoleon & Hitler Desmond Seward
"They appeared from nowhere to become "saviours" of their new countries; Napoleon was not a Frenchman, but a Corsican who kept an Italian accent until he was nearly thirty, while Hitler never lost his Austiran accent."
