“I should like to put it on record that I have never been able to dislike Adolf Hitler…The fact is that there is something deeply appealing about him…It is a pathetic, dog-like face, the face of a man suffering under intolerable wrongs. In a rather more manly way it reproduces the expression of innumerable pictures of Christ crucified, and there is little doubt that that is how Hitler sees himself. He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock, the self-sacrificing hero who fights single-handed against impossible odds…One feels, as with Napoleon, that he is fighting against destiny, that he can’t win, and yet that he somehow deserves to.” -George Orwell, wartime review of Mein Kampf in 1940.
