Goebbels used to keep a diary for much of his life. From 1923 to 1941 he wrote them down himself and from 1941 to 1945 he dictated lengthy texts to his aides whom he sometimes rang up in the middle of the night when he wanted to put some text down. The dictations usually opened with a description of the military situation. Then came his personal comments. However, the dictated diary is not as personal as the one he had written himself. Much of the diaries was thought to have been lost during World War II. However, in 1992 Dr. Elke Frà ...

Related article: Vegetarianism of Adolf Hitler. Although beginning in the early 1930s, Hitler gradually reduced his meat intake and more or less eschewed alcohol until the war went badly (when he used it to aid his sleep), his eating habits in general could be unhealthy and irregular. He reportedly had a sweet tooth and as a result ate large amounts of chocolate and pastries, sometimes to the exclusion of a balanced diet. According to the Wagner family, for example, he added at least seven teaspoons of sugar to every cup of tea he drank. Combined with his refusal to engage in any regular exercis ...

Waite, who authored an extensive psychohistory of Hitler, concluded he suffered from borderline personality disorder, which manifested its symptoms in numerous ways and would imply Hitler was in full control of himself and his actions. Others have proposed he ...
