 Did Hitlerism die with Hitler?
Hitler's rhetoric here is not more empty-headed than that of many of his contemporaries; his use of clichés hardly exceeds what one encountered in the newspapers; his knowledge of history, his psychological observations, his criticism of his rivals, are in many respects typical of his place and time.
By 1935 Hitler was already well on his way to accomplishing this task, having both purged the SA, which hoped to become an alternative military organization, and declared universal conscription in total defiance of the Versailles Treaty.
What Hitler said would be done to Germany, he did unto others; and he and his people became victims of the nemesis that he prophesied for his enemies.

Klaue's insistence that Atze's chosen texts invoke Hitler as an alibi (i.e., a means of diverting attention from the central event in German history: Judeocide) is heavy-handed and unfair to both Atze's analysis and the works he discusses.
If prior to Atze's study little was formally written about Hitler representations in German literature, his work has done the profession an enormous service in ferreting out a cornucopia of literary sources and arranging them within a highly useful typology.

 I cite: The Conformist
Are you the one to whom other people are expected to confirm, or are you trying to confirm to the ideal set by somebody else?' Hitler, say, was terribly conformist in lots of ways: bourgeois tastes in art and music, say.
Actually the Hitler ref is off the point, and a cheap shot to boot.
One feature of cultural representations of Hitler, it’s often seemed to me, is that he must be portrayed as continually falling into towering, hand-waving, spittle-on-chin-tantrum Rages.
