Hitler's Diary Entry Essay (1940)

Decent Essays
22 June, 1940

Hitler is visiting Paris tomorrow and is ordering me to come with him. I can’t bare to look at his face after he told Ludwig to blow up Adelle’s house. I feel like he did that on purpose, like he knew Adelle lived there. I’m starting to really hate Hitler, he’s been rude to me ever since the 14th. Our food rations have been super small for the past week, and I haven’t been eating. I’m getting weaker, and weaker, which is a good thing. I’ll be too weak to accompany Hitler to Paris. I am smart.

I found a newspaper article on the ground today and saw that it was an article made by Sonia Tomara. She was talking about how her family’s struggle when escaping our attacks. After reading her article, I feel a little bad for doing all

What if he did mean it? What if he actually wanted to kill my daughter? This make me want to kill myself. Wait, that’s actually a pretty good idea. I have nothing to lose. I’d never have to see Hitler, or Ludwig ever again. I’ll be rejoiced with my Adelle and my mother in law. I’ll be in peace. And I’ll do it tomorrow, before Hitler arrives in Paris. I’ll leave a note, marking the end of my life.

23 June, 1940

I have to do it, I have to end my life today. I’ll do it the easy way; write up a note, take my pistol, and pull the trigger.

My fellow soldiers, I write this to inform you that I am taking my life on this evening. My daughter, Adelle, was murdered last week, when her home was bombed, killing her and her grandmother. Without my Adelle, I am nothing. It was hard enough being separated from her before the war, but now, knowing that I will never see my daughter ever again, I cannot go on in this life. Perhaps we will reunite in Heaven, and even if we don’t, it is a risk I am willing to take. The pain I have felt this day is a pain no man should have to suffer, but one I have had the misfortune of suffering. I wish you all the best in the war, and I pray that the Reich finds its way to victory in the coming months.

Auf Wiedersehen (Farewell), Frondzo

    The Nazis believed their actions resulted in “cleansing” the Aryan race of the mentally ill, although it just resulted in many lives lost (“‘Euthanasia’ Killings”). The euthanasia program prevailed as the Nazi’s first form of mass murder (“Euthanasia Program”). The main forms of euthanasia consisted of starvation, poisoning, injections, or gassing (“‘Euthanasia’ Killings”). The Nazis intended for the killings to remain painless and humane, but they carried on, nonetheless, neither painless nor humane (Evans 32). The program targeted mentally and physically disabled patients in institutions (“Euthanasia Program”).…
