Adolf Hitler was so crippled with anxiety during his final days that he would scratch his neck and ears until they bled and demanded that his toilet water, as well as the water in which his eggs were boiled, be constantly analysed for traces of poison.
Before he took his own life he ordered his valet, Heinz Linge, to pour petrol over his body and burn it.

"You must never allow my corpse to fall into the hands of the Russians," he told Linge. "They would make a spectacle in Moscow out of my body and put it in waxworks."

Such fascinating insights into Hitler's life, unearthed in a Moscow archive, are published today in an account called The Hitler Book.
The revealing excerpts are the product of the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's obsession with his nemesis.

Here's an interesting site showing what might have happened to Hitler's body, which was probably burned. There's also evidence that Stalin kept some skull fragments in the Kremlin.

Also, on the psychology of Hitler and Stalin, there's a great book by Alice Miller called The Untouched Key.

I highly recommend it.
