EXCERPT FROM HITLER'S DIARY (1941)
I never travel without my diary, one should always
have something sensational to read.
Oscar Wilde, 1891

Tues. May 9:
Just when I was busy with plans for Russia, Rudolf Hess dropped
by with crazy notion of flying to UK for peace. Said he bought
some new boots yesterday for the trip–dead shiny.
I’d like a pair like that. I told him–forget the trip
and tell me where you got the boots.
Wed. June 22:
Invaded Russia. Eggs for lunch–hard boiled again–I hate that.

Must speak to Eva about it.

That paper-waving droopy-moustached old gopher!
My small black moustache is much neater.
12:30PM Inspected new bunker in East Prussia with
smoother concrete walls. Eva wants to wallpaper them
(nice little red flowers) and why not?
8:00PM After dinner, practised arm-gestures for big Nuremburg
speech on Saturday. Rehearsed a few ad libs...Eva liked them.

Rained all day. Slow day (almost invaded Egypt) stayed in

Rained all day. Slow day (almost invaded Egypt) stayed in
and read. Eva dyed her hair creamy-yellow. ( I’m gonna start
calling her Blondy.) That new german shepherd Bormann
gave me–I took her out for walk–she's called Blondi too.
(Joke there–the guys will like it). After dinner we all listened
to Franz Lehar’s “Merry Widow” again. I love it.
Eva fell asleep; so did the dog.
Sat. June 25:
Nuremburg speech went ok. Got all the ad libs in except one.

Rommel was on the phone talking about Africa and Libya, and
some place called Tobruk. Must make a note – where is Tobruk?
P.S. Must find out where Libya is.

Thurs. Dec 11:
Oh, what the hell...in for a dime in for a dollar: this Russian war is
too easy, I need a bit of a challenge. Think I’ll whiz down to the
Reichstag tonight and tell ‘em we’re declaring war on the USA.
Might get a pair of those shiny boots there too.
