有人描写二十世纪三十年代的德国人是“生活在‘神话’中”。斯蒂芬·H．罗伯茨的《希特勒之谜》，尝试揭开这个“神话”的内幕。罗伯茨博士是澳大利亚人，悉尼大学的现代历史学教授，被认为是国际关系方面的权威。在二战中，他决心尽可能彻底地调查纳粹德国政权的真相。他去了德国，并得到了纳粹德国外交部及外交部部长里宾特洛甫给予的特权。罗伯茨充分利用了这一特权，用十六个月的时间彻底梳理这个国家的现状、搜集资料。利用这些资料，他写出了《希特勒建造的帝国》这本书，不久即出版。本文就选自这本书。

这个阿道夫·希特勒真是个奇怪的人。在采访中，他极为客气，彬彬有礼，在每句话后都有意停顿一下，以免采访者想插话。在他的手下向他敬礼时，他的回礼以及他向纳粹党旗敬礼时的一丝不苟，几乎到了堂吉诃德式可笑的地步。但奇怪的是，在正式聚会或别人跟他说话时，他似乎从来没有轻松自在过。他似乎是一只被追捕的猎物，随时准备寻求庇护，而他的庇护就是发表一个简短的演说。即使别人的问题一两个字就能回答，他也要做个演说。在发表演说时，他至少有个坚实的基础。他不需要思考，因为这些话他已经说了几千遍，而且会一直说到死。
