I read a recent news article on Adolph Hitler's "lesser transgressions" including tax evasion and the like, however, I was surprised (don't know why I would be) that this quote was also included:
Quote:
Until 1945, Hitler also had the German post office pay him royalties for using his image on postage stamps. Over the years, this added up to tens and even hundreds of millions. He had already earned a lot of money thanks to the royalties on his book, "Mein Kampf," of which an astronomically high number of copies were published.
If anyone's interested in the article, it's at this link:
