TheF├╝hrer and I talked of HimmlerтАЩs plans to make him an SS saint. тАЬHow many centuries will it be,тАЭ he
asked in a surprisingly firm voice, тАЬbefore they forget I was a man of flesh and blood?тАЭ

тАЬCan an Aryan be any other?тАЭ I responded dryly, and he smiled as he is wont to do at my more jestful
moments.

тАЬThe spirit of Aryanism is another matter,тАЭ he said. тАЬThe same as destiny or any other workable myth.тАЭ

тАЬHimmler would ritualize these myths into a new reality,тАЭ I pointed out.

тАЬOf course,тАЭ agreed Hitler. тАЬThat has always beenhis purpose. You and I are realists. We make use of
what is available.тАЭ He reflected for a moment and then continued: тАЬThe war was a cultural one. If you ask
the man in the street what I really stood for, he would not come near the truth. Nor should he!тАЭ

I smiled. IтАЩm sure he took that as a sign of assent. This duality of Hitler, with its concern for exact
hierarchies to replace the old social order-and what is true for theVolk is not always what is true for
us-seemed to me just another workable myth, often contrary to our stated purposes. I would never admit
that to him. In his own way Hitler was quite the bone-headed philosopher.

тАЬMein F├╝hrer,тАЭI began, entirely a formality in such a situation but I could tell that he was pleased I had
used the address, тАЬthe Americans love to make fun of your most famous statement about the Reich that
will last one thousand years, as though what we have accomplished now is an immutable status quo.тАЭ

He laughed. тАЬI love those Americans. I really do. They believe their own democratic propaganda . . . so
obviously what we tell our people must be what we believe! American credulity is downright refreshing at
times, especially after dealing with Russians.тАЭ

On the subject of Russians Hitler and I did not always agree, so there was no point in continuing that line
of dialogue at this late date. Before he died I desperately wished to ask him some questions that had
been haunting me. I could see that his condition was deteriorating. This would be my last opportunity.

The conversation rambled on for a bit, and we again amused ourselves over how Franklin Delano
Roosevelt had plagiarized National SocialismтАЩs Twenty-five Points when he issued his own list of
economic rights. How fortunate for us that when FDR borrowed other of our policies, he fell flat on his
face. War will always be the most effective method for disposing of surplus production, although infinitely
more hazardous in a nuclear age. We never thought that FDR could push America into using our
approach for armaments production.

Hitler summed up: тАЬRoosevelt fell under the influence of the madman Churchill; thatтАЩs what happened!тАЭ

тАЬFortunately our greatest enemy in America was impeached,тАЭ I said. The last thing weтАЩd needed was a
competing empire-builder with the resources of the North American continent. I still fondly recalled the
afternoon the American Congress was presented with evidence that FDR was a traitor on the Pearl
Harbor question.

тАЬIтАЩve never understood why President Dewey didnтАЩt follow FDRтАЩs lead,domestically ,тАЭ Hitler went on.
тАЬThey remained in the war, after all. My God, the man even released American-Japanese from those
concentration camps and insisted on restitution payments! And this during the worst fighting in the
Pacific!тАЭ
