But the passion to measure the force and to achieve excellence, Hitler proves not only wars. He literally poisoned by it, continually and all ways he looks for opportunities to achieve excellence, it is used as a panacea against all evils. Hitler believes that it is important to entrust the same task to two different people, each of them tried to outdo the other. There is on earth nothing outstanding, not that would have prompted Hitler to try to beat that. Napoleon is, without a doubt, the figure that most strongly excites his competitive spirit. The Champs Elysees leading to the arc de Triomphe, have a length of two kilometers. Its main street is not only broader, and shall be in length five miles. Arc de Triomphe has a height of 50 metres, its arch is the height of 120 meters. The unification of Europe was the aim of Napoleon, and here it really succeeds. Campaign in Russia preduktal him Napoleon. The energy which he displayed in this case, stubbornness in keeping the positions taken in Russia, positions which it was impossible to keep, perseverance in spite of all the arguments and advice of people more competent can be explained also by the desire to perehlestnut of Napoleon. The Caucasus, he wants to keep as a base for breakthrough in Persia, where he comes into contact with the Indian plans of Napoleon.

The idea of the inevitability of struggle and the justification of the victory of all types of claims sitting in the Hitler so deeply that even though he never takes into account his own defeat, but in case it still happens, just not as well finds its decline and death.

He sees them as the accumulation of forces for a final decision, which must be bloody without bloodshed nothing really bonded. Over so quickly violated agreements signed by Ribbentrop and which he was so proud of, Hitler is laughing to tears. Contracts he can't take seriously though, because they are not blood, and politicians of the opposing party, based on treaties, he considered flawed because they are afraid of war.

Of the many buildings which Hitler had planned for Berlin, all the dearer to his heart arch can be, along with a large Domed hall. A sketch for her he created in 1925. Model, made according to this sketch, surprise Speer, on the fiftieth anniversary of Hitler in April 1939. <...> Before the Hitler with the Speer talked about this the arc de Triomphe. She had to reach a height of 120 meters, that is to be more than twice Napoleonaea Arc de Triomphe in Paris. "It will be at least a worthy monument to our compatriots who died in the world war. The name of each of the 1.8 million of the fallen will be engraved in granite!" These are the words of Hitler, how it conveys Speer. It is impossible to more succinctly Express the essence of Hitler. The defeat in the First world war is not recognized and is transformed into victory. <...> the Feeling the masses of dead Hitler - decisive. That is, its true mass.

His obsession manifested itself with terrible activity, and there are the dead.
