"HE HAS HIS ORDERS"

HITLER'S LAST AND ONLY CONFESSION

Having read this last statement over with emotion, the right thing to do is to re-read it omitting every alternate line. Truth will out.

I, Adolph Hitler, on this my death bed,
am suffering bravely great pain. I
Wish to make it known to all that I'm
not, as the ancient King Herod was,
A murderer of women and children. I
Have no sympathy for the Poles, who
have fought and lost a useless war,
I've worked in the interest of, and not
against humanity. I've used my people
For the welfare of the Fatherland, not
For my own ends. I've proven myself
to be a true leader and Joseph Stalin
to be a mad man and a thief and a liar. I
am amused at the Polish nation, who
Underestimated the courage of brave
German soldiers. I also laugh at the
British and French people, who
?????????
Fought so valiantly and were unafraid.
I feel myself slipping away slowly.
I now bid you my last farewell. I am
still of the opinion the French are
going to HELL, where the British
will go. Heaven in sight, where my
people sent me.

Sailors farewell
Adolph the Truthful
