Summary

In his final days, Adolf Hitler wallowed in self pity, sent children into war, and held tea parties into the wee hours of the morning. He also threw himself a birthday party. The guest list was a real who’s who of Most Evil Humans!

Ultimately, Hitler decided to take his ball and go home. (And by that, we of course mean that he shot himself and went to hell.)
