Hitler

Asked for his abiding memory of Hitler 60 years on? He pauses at first, then says simply:

"He was a terrible creation. Yes, a being, but a being full of evil and cruelty... he was a monster."

this was pulled from an article about Bernd Freytag von Loringhoven, 91, who is one of the last living eyewitnesses to Hitler's final days. lots of people refer to Hitler and then immediately say, yah but he was a genius. maybe he was but this spekas of someone who hung with the man who knew him.
