Getting closer to the truth!

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today that there was some evidence that Adolf Hitler had died of a brain hemorrhage instead of a hero’s death in battle as the nazis claimed.

Eisenhower said the enemy claim that Hitler died fighting the Russians in Berlin was “in contradiction of facts” given by Heinrich Himmler at a conference with Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden at Luebeck eight days ago.

The Daily Express, however, went a step further with a three-column box headed “obituary.” it said:

“The Daily Express rejoices to announce the report of Adolf Hitler’s death. It prints today every line of information regarding the manner of his death.

The Decatur Daily Review, Illinois, August 11, 1935

Hitler, says one story, visited a movie incognito and sat in a back seat. Presently a newsreel flashed a picture of himself on the screen and every one dutifully stood up - except Hitler himself. An usher came up and tapped him on the shoulder, saying: “You better stand up, friend. We all feel the way you do about it, but it’s not safe to show it.”
