The last words of Adolf Hitler

The last words of the German genocidal Adolf Hitler before his death would have been discovered in the diary of a Nazi pilot.

The diary of Lieutenant General Hans Baur, who was part of Hitler's circle of trust, contains a description of his last moments, April 30, 1945, in an underground bunker in Berlin.

The aviator wrote that the Nazi leader had told him "today, I put an end to him" before committing suicide with his wife Eva Braun. The story was revealed in the reissue of a memoir entitled "I was the Hitler pilot".

"Hitler came to me and took both my hands", recalled Baur, who died in 1993 at the age of 96. "Baur, I want to say goodbye, the time has come, my generals have betrayed me, my soldiers do not want to continue and I can not continue".

"I tried to convince him that there were still planes available and that I could take him to Japan, Argentina or one of the sheikhs, who were all very friendly. with him because of his attitude towards the Jews, "said the pilot. . "The war will end with the fall of Berlin and I'm standing where I fall with Berlin"Hitler responded.

Apparently, Hitler said: "A man must muster enough courage to face the consequences, and so, I finish it now, I know that tomorrow millions of people will curse me, that's destiny, but the Russians know perfectly well that I am here in this bunker, and I'm afraid they're using gas pumps, there are gasoline extractors, but can you trust them? In any case, I do not trust and I will finish it today. "

It was said that the Nazi leader had offered Baur a valuable painting as a gift for his 12 years of service. And when Hitler died, Baur tried to escape and was hit, which left his leg amputated. He then spent ten years in a Soviet prison where he was tortured to give information about Hitler.

Baur, who survived the First World War as an aviator and became one of the first pilots of the German airline Lufthansa, carried some of the highest ministers of the Third Reich and the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
