Theme: Adolf Hitler
Item #1: Unscrupulous in amassing power, Hitler was, however, fastidious about personal finances, and had modest personal income and wealth from his government salary.[6]
Item #2: Although there is some debate about how consistent he was, Hitler was a vegetarian based on principles of animal rights.[7]
Item #3: Historians document at least 42 assassination attempts against Hitler, all of which were foiled, failed, or had to be abandoned.[8]
