Between 1925 and 1945 thousands of ordinary Germans of both sexes and all ages wrote
letters to Hitler. Lost for decades, a large cache of these letters was recently discovered
in the KGB Special Archive in Moscow, having been carted off to Russia by the Soviet
Secret Police at the end of the war. The letters range from gushing love letters ...
to letters from teachers, students, priests, businessmen and others expressing gratitude
for alleviating poverty or restoring dignity to the German people. There are a few
protest letters and the occasional desperate plea to release a loved one from a concentration
camp, but the overwhelming majority are positive and even rapturous, shedding fresh
light on the nature of the Hitler cult in Nazi Germany
