`REGULAR BEATINGS': A journal written by Paula Hitler puts the violence of the Hitler family in the spotlight and says Adolf was a bully in his teens who used to beat her

Two historians on Wednesday acclaimed the discovery in Germany of a journal written by Adolf Hitler's sister, saying it offers remarkable insights into the dysfunctional nature of the Fuehrer's family. Paula Hitler's journal, unearthed at an undisclosed location in Germany, reveals that her brother was a bully in his teens and would beat her.
Recounting the earliest memories of her childhood, when she was around eight and Adolf was 15, Paula wrote: "Once again I feel my brother's loose hand across my face."

The typewritten journal is among an assortment of documents which have been disclosed by historians Timothy Ryback and Florian Beierl. Ryback is the head of Germany's Obersalzberg Institute of Contemporary History, which is dedicated to research into Hitler, while Beierl has written several books about the Nazi party leader and Third Reich chancellor.

I believe Hitler was more sane than Bush!

1. Hitler had a sister? Although, I saw in one documentary......

that he had an affair with a niece that later killed herself.

It was hinted at in History Channel documentary that Hitler was into sex that was so kinky that his partners were left depressed and suicidal.

2. bushie's siblings said he used to shoot bb's at them

From the book Fortunate Son -- my impression was that he was a bully to his younger brothers and sisters.

4. You graduate from blowing up frogs

to blowing up whole cities.

5. All serial killers start small -- generally torturing fish, frogs, cats,

small animals and then moving to humans.

I'd guess that bushie has a sadistic streak -- which is probably common in the gangs he ran/runs with and in his family.

Others have mentioned that he suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome -- his mom drank like a fish while carrying Der Bushita.
