Second paragraph - "At such times the German Fuehrer strictly forbade his guards to follow; he relied entirely on the dog at his side, the heavy waking stick of knotted wood, and the rapid-fire luger automatic in his pocket."

His father was the bastard son, not him. His birth name was Hitler.

Despite the incredible animal that he turned into when he was in power, it appears that he was an excellent "Soldat" in WWI, as very few enlisted men ever won the Iron Cross First Class. One ironic note is the fact that the officer that nominated him for his Iron Cross First Class was Jewish.
