Adolf Hitler personally intervened to protect a Jewish man who had been his commanding officer during World War One, according to a letter unearthed by the Jewish Voice from Germany newspaper.

Hess remained in Germany after the war, becoming head of the Federal Railway Authority based in Frankfurt. He died in 1983.

Hess's daughter Ursula, now 86 and still living in Germany, told the paper in an interview her father had benefited from a chance encounter with another World War One comrade, Fritz Wiedemann. He became Hitler's adjutant and used his influence to win concessions for Hess, she was quoted as saying.

Ursula Hess also recalled her father saying that as a young corporal in World War One, Hitler had had no friends in their regiment and had kept himself very much to himself

Did they really believe in what they preach or just went along with the program. The thing was during the war there were in the nazi leaderships or friends married to Jews etc.. or related to some and some of them protected their own. but only secretly. Was it power they liked ? and use Jews a as a scape goat, so they had to do what they preach and not really gram since that is what got them into power.

Reminds me of the southern slave owner who enslave their own kids.

What the hell is up the American fascination with Hitler, from the Hitler channel to calling people Adolf in a argument.
