Well This Really Puts Him Over The Edge
Believe it or not, Adolf Hitler was officially a criminal.
Adolf Hitler spent years evading taxes and owed German authorities 405,000 Reichsmarks -- equivalent to $8 million (4.1 million pounds) today -- by the time his tax debts were forgiven soon after he took power, a researcher says.And all this time we were led to believe he was an upstanding citizen beforehand!
Dubon found that Hitler earned 1.232 million Reichsmarks in 1933 from sales of "Mein Kampf" -- his book outlining his doctrine of German racial supremacy and ambitions to annex vast areas of the Soviet Union.
He should have paid tax on 600,000 Reichsmarks of that income but didn't, the researcher found.
