Hitler liked money- a lot.

Apparently, as has been revealed by a new German television documentary called "Hitler's Money", Hitler liked money. The author of the New York Times article says that Hitler had a large amount of wealth at the time of his death, much of it from income generated through his writing and photographs. Although he appeared to be very thrifty and penny-wise publically, in private, he loved money's power a good deal. Money, as he said, could be used to get almost anything one wanted in this world- a concept that is still well-understood some 60 years later. That is, in essence, all that the article says.

Although I did not know Hitler had such a deep, profound love for money (due to our held belief that Hitler was very frugal, etc.), I do not find it surprising. When one such as Hitler reaches such a high level of power that the very treasury of a nation is open to them, it is expected that human greed will kick in, and cause them to take advantage of their power and position.

Humans are funny things, ne?
