>>3674639On the conclusion of Adolf's military career
>"In mid-October 1918 a hospital train, the sides of its carriages defaced by revolutionary slogans, slowly wended its way through Germany toward the secure eastern marches of the empire. Among the hundreds of casualties on the train were blinded victims of a recent poison gas attack in Belgium. [...] Those who escaped with their lives were painfully blinded, all but one who still could see faintly. He suggested to the others that they hang on to each other's coattails as he attempted to lead them to safety. [...] Among the men thus rescued from a choking death was a twenty-nine-year-old Gefreiter (corporal) named Adolf Hitler."__________
On the battle-wounded Adolf learning of the 'November Revolution '
>"I came to the hospital at Pasewalk in Pomerania, and there I was fated to experience — the greatest villainy of the century. [...] Unfavorable rumors were constantly coming from the navy, which was said to be in a state of ferment. But this too, seemed to me more the product of the imagination of individual scoundrels than an affair involving real masses [...] And then one day, suddenly and unexpectedly, the calamity descended. Sailors arrived in trucks and proclaimed the revolution; a few Jewish youths were the ‘leaders’ in this struggle for the ‘freedom, beauty, and dignity’ of our national existence. None of them had been at the front. [...] Now they raised the red rag in the homeland."__________
