Adolf Hitler: Rise and Downfall
The Surrender and Myth of Fate
This chapter delves into the strategic surrender decision of the German army, led by Ludendorf and Hindenburg, to prevent complete defeat in World War I and avoid direct occupation. It explores Adolf Hitler's intense emotions and alleged transformative experience following the armistice, which fueled his entry into politics. The chapter evaluates Hitler's self-created mythology around fate drawing him towards politics and the speculative nature of his dramatic retellings post-war.
