I just finished reading "Hitler's Niece" by Ron Hansen. It is fiction which included many interesting, bizarre facts about Hitler, the hypnotic affect he had on people, who was allowed to marry (when and to whom), the psychotic group of misfits with whom he surrounded himself, one had been in a mental hospital with sadistic behavior, and the fact that he could have actually been the one to murder his niece who was supposedly the only woman he really loved. The report said that she committed suicide but there is reason to believe otherwise with missing "evidence", mirrored statements, and delayed reporting of the death, etc.
Interesting read regardless of how much you may choose to believe, if anything. I even have an opinion of where his hatred of Jews began: his mother's illness was terminal while suffering a long time before her death under the care of Jewish doctor and family member who may have been illegitimate with the biological father being Jewish.
