The self-propagated myth of the ascetic, selfless ‘Führer', ready to make sacrifices in the service of his people and prepared to waiver the substantial salary due to his Reich Chancellor position is as persistent as it is false. Today we can prove how Hitler thought nothing of dipping into public funds and was given access to vast sums of money for his personal use. Far from the image of the frugal leader, Hitler profited from his position and became a very wealthy man. We can now show how Hitler's regime quickly turned into a complex system of corruption and personal enrichment.
