Will folks be able to say the same about you after you're gone? :)

Hitler was the perfect boss: Former maid breaks her silence on the 'charming' dictator
The Mail (UK)

History has condemned him as the megalomaniac who brought death and misery to millions.

But for one woman, the name Adolf Hitler evokes a smile not a shudder.

She is Rosa Mitterer, who worked as a maid for the Fuhrer at his mountain retreat in Bavaria in the 1930s.

Rosa is 91 and until now has kept a vow of silence about her experiences. She has chosen to break it after realising she is the last survivor of the circle who served the tyrant in the years before he launched the Second World War.

And her verdict on her former master: 'He was a charming man, someone who was only ever nice to me, a great boss to work for. You can say what you like, but he was a good man to us.'

Rosa's remembrances of life at the court of the tyrant make gripping reading. She saw leading Nazis come and go. Himmler, the evil party secretary; Bormann, whom she described as a 'dirty pig'; and the club-footed, sexually-obsessed propaganda minister Goebbels.

See? See? It was those other Nazis who were so bad.

...

'In those days, Hitler slept in his study. In it was an iron bed, one wardrobe, one table, two chairs and a shoebox. It was very modestly furnished. Beside the bed hung a picture of his mother.'

She added: 'I didn't have to be a Nazi party member or anything. After a while I relaxed a bit. Apparently it was Hitler's orders that Anni and I be taken to church every Sunday because he thought this would be "good for us".

...

'There were cigars, jars of jam, flowers, pictures,' she recalled. 'We gave most of them away to poorer peasant families nearby on Hitler's orders.'

I heard that FDR and Winston Churchill said the same thing about their best friend Joseph "Uncle Joe" Stalin. :D

Yep

Of course, it will be perhaps the least significant aspect of my life that anyone could possibly mention but, yeah, it could be said

Is there a point to this thread?
 
The story comes from the Daily Mail. I would have thought they would have distanced themselves from Hitler by now.
 
I would speculate that most NAZIS had the most impeccable old world manners.
As long a they perceived you as an "equal", you were treated well.
 
I sense a troll post. First, Daily Fail. That's always a good sign, since no one takes anything written there seriously (it's like the Onion, but less realistic). Only reason to be posting that garbage is to get people riled up. Second, praising Hitler. Third, poster is just baiting questions.

Hitler killed tens of millions of people. Does it matter if he did it with a smile on his face and was really polite about it? What the hell?

Who cares if he thought his servants were loyal Nazi Christian Germans who would do well going to church every Sunday? He would have happily killed those very servants with not a twinge if he thought they were Jews or Homosexuals or Communists.
