I don't think we really know what Hitler was really about; though one thing is for sure for me: I can no longer trust the Western Mainstream to be the only source for the Hitler Narrative. But unlike the Caitlin Johnstone subcategory, that doesn't compel me to be pro-Communist. I can pat my head and rub my stomach at the same time.
"I don't think we really know what Hitler was really about" - if you mean what he was thinking, well, that's true about everybody unless one believes in mind-reading. In that case it'd be interesting to listen/read those reports.
As far as your "I can no longer trust the Western Mainstream" statement - you might be surprised but there's also East. In particular, at that point in time USSR. Are you going to doubt 27 million lives lost there? What was the breakdown of those losses? How does it compare with 6 million accepted number for the chosen ones?
The Hitler Narrative is what I'm referring to. How much of it is true, how much is disinformation & misinformation, is a tangled mess that probably would require at the very least an ability to read German, Polish, Czech, French, & Russian documents from the period in question, basically the first half of the 20th century.
There are plenty books by historians now which cite documents from that era. You can read the books and follow references if you don't believe or don't agree with writers' conclusions.
It's impossible to speak of current events as it's necessarily propaganda from all sides, but once time passes and originals are available there's much less doubt as to what transpired.
I'm afraid that subject is way too complex for the normal type of investigation you describe, since most book writers on 20th century history are myopic to the problem of disinformation/misinformation in mainstream Narratives. Diana West's book on WW2 comes close to sorting out this problem, but she also reflexively assumes the Hitler Narrative is true -- which is ironic, given that she intelligently questions everything else about the broader WW2 Narrative.
What could be more normal than looking at original documents? Not believing them? Then believing what, nothing, just speculating? How would that be better and not biased?
I think you're making it more complex than it is, maybe trying to hide your sympathy for Hitler. Just come out and say so. You're not alone in that regard and it's not against the law.
I took a class in college as part of my History B.A. about historiography, which is the practice of researching & writing history. The class had only 5 students and the professor was an expert in modern French history (focusing on the French Revolution). The most important lesson he taught us was how difficult and complex it is to piece together a narrative from primary sources. Of course, if the question you're researching is fairly simple -- example, "Did George Washington tell his father he "cannot tell a lie" and that he chopped down the cherry tree?" -- one can pinpoint the fact of the matter, even if it never gets beyond "It was an unsubstantiated tale, so it's probably not factual". More complex historical questions quickly get one entangled in ambiguities, original bias, lacunae in the records, difficulty finding an actual primary source as opposed to a secondary source talking about the event -- which even if contemporary, is not immune from problems of poor quality including bias. The Hitler Narrative one can readily see is a topic of extraordinary complexity, with many complicated subsets (Hitler's rise to power, his views on the Jews, the actual problem of the Jews in Europe, Hitler's expansion triggering reactions against him, the Holocuast itself -- each one of these being individually of extraordinary complexity).
Hitler was sent by the incarnate wanderer angels. He got confused here into fighting shadows and destroyed himself as per the shadow qabal s hydra plan
