Lost file reveals Hitler's paranoia

Adolf Hitler was so crippled with anxiety during his final days that he would scratch his neck and ears until they bled and demanded that his toilet water, as well as the water in which his eggs were boiled, be constantly analysed for traces of poison.

Before he took his own life he ordered his valet, Heinz Linge, to pour petrol over his body and burn it.

"You must never allow my corpse to fall into the hands of the Russians," he told Linge. "They would make a spectacle in Moscow out of my body and put it in waxworks."

Such fascinating insights into Hitler's life, unearthed in a Moscow archive, are published today in an account called The Hitler Book.
