Christian "purpose" and "meaning" in life.
Christian "purpose" and "meaning" in life.
Too bad your source is discredited:

Quote:Trevor-Roper's most widely read and financially rewarding book covered the The Last Days of Hitler (1947). It emerged from his assignment as a British intelligence officer in 1945 to discover what happened in the last days of Hitler's bunker. From his interviews with a range of witnesses and study of surviving documents he demonstrated that Hitler was dead and had not escaped from Berlin. He also showed that Hitler's dictatorship was not an efficient unified machine but a hodge-podge of overlapping rivalries. However, his reputation was damaged in 1983 when he authenticated the Hitler Diaries and they were soon shown to be forgeries.

Quote:Beware, this is a discredited source, and at the very best, its disputed, and no serious historian relies on this information...book at [...]). Another over-used source is Hermann Rauschning's "The Voice of Destruction: Hitler Speaks", which was already so heavily quoted by 1945 that it was explicitly mentioned and dismissed in OSS documents because of its unreliable nature. In
fact, May 1983, Swiss historian Wolfgang Haenel formally gathered together all of the criticisms of Rauschning's book and
resoundingly debunked it at a presentation at the annual conference of the Ingolstadt Contemporary History Research Center, showing
(among other things) that Hitler was not physically present at the times and places indicated, and that the financially desperate
Rauschning was paid a staggering sum of money to produce the book by French and American sources who wished to use it as propaganda.

Quote:The majority of evidence for Hitler’s atheism comes from a single source called `Hitler’s Table Talk’; a collection of conversations with two of his closest aids. It allegedly contains such gems as:

“Our epoch will see the end of the disease that is Christianity”
“I shall never come to terms with the Christian lie".
However, the oft-cited English version of this work is an inaccurate translation of the German transcript. Indeed, the original German quotes do not even refer to Christianity. Furthermore, the translation omits passages that confirm Hitler’s religious views. These discrepancies can be attributed to the man who produced the French translation that subsequently spawned the English version. The translator, Francois Genoud, confessed to his fabrication years later, though his work still remains popular among historians willing to believe it. Additionally, many authors on the subject were unaware that their source material was bogus.
