The True worth Of Hitler’s Secret Stash Revealed But What Happened To The Fuhrer’s Missing Millions?

Adolf Hitler was a man of great evil he was also a man of great wealth. The Nazi dictator was a man who was born poor but died rich – filthy rich.

Like a lot of men with a lot of money, Hitler’s enormous wealth was gained at the expense of others. While the world burned and millions were condemned to an abyss without equal, Hitler squirreled away a massive fortune founded on suffering and built on misery.

Hitler’s massive fortune had apparently been ‘earned’ through personal appearances and image rights, such as Hitler’s fondness of levying a royalty on German stamps featuring his image.

Tellingly, much of Hitler’s wealth came from the Nazi king-pin’s point blank refusal to pay £1.75 million in income tax.

However, Hitler’s secret stash just might have added up to considerably more than hitherto thought by historians.

A new documentary estimates that Hitler’s secret stash could have been worth more than £3 billion at the time the failed artist from Austria took his own life in a sordid little bunker in Berlin.

The Hunt For Hitler’s Millions provides a new and fascinating insight into Hitler’s personal wealth based on a secret will discovered by German Jew, Herman Rothman, who worked with British intelligence during the Second World War.

Now in his 90s, the former intelligence officer has revealed for the first time how alongside a handful of others, he was responsible for discovering Hitler’s secret will.

A will which pointed in the direction of the true nature of the vast wealth accumulated by the doomed dictator.

In the wake of Hitler’s suicide on April 29, 1945 the Counter Intelligence Unit that Mr Rothman was a member of, spotted a man in civilian clothes whom they believed to be a Nazi on the run.

Upon apprehending the man in question, the team discovered a seven-page document, which was in fact, Hitler’s last will and testament.

The Daily Mail reported that Mr Rothman said: “We were absolutely shocked by what we found.”

The first section of Hitler’s final correspondence to a world which was already growing to universally loathe him, was a rant against the Jewish people, blaming them for everything that had happened since he came to power.

The second section of the document was an attempt by Hitler to hide the true extent of his staggering wealth.

According to the documentary makers:

“What emerges is a picture of a smart property and art investor, a shrewd manager of cash with a love of money. Hitler’s actual tax records survive and suggest that he was a “cash-in-hand” businessman and a serial tax evader. He owed the German taxman a small fortune when he became supreme leader in 1933.”

The IB TImes reports that author of a book on Hitler’s finances, Dr Cris Whetton, also explains in the documentary that a significant proportion of the Nazi dictator’s wealth derived from royalties he received from the free copies of his book, Mein Kampf, given by the state to couples on their wedding day.

Whetton explained: “Hitler felt paying taxes was beneath him.”

Whetton has estimated that Hitler’s secret stash is worth in the region of 1.1bn reichsmarks, the equivalent of £3.6bn in today’s money.

Now that’s a lot of dollar and begs the question, where is it and what happened to it?
