NUREMBERG, Dec. 3f.-The
| tollowing is the tert OF Hitler's
personal and political last testa-
ment, released by Allied author
titles yesterday.
My personal will.
Although during the years of
struggle, believed that could not
undertake the responsibility of mar
riage, now before the end of my life.
I have decided to take as my wife
the woman who after many years
of true friendship came to this city,
already almost besieged, of her own
free will in order to share my fate.
She will go to her death with me
at her own wish as my wife. This
will compensate us for what we both
lost through my work in the service
of my people.
My possessions in so far as they
are worth anything, belong to the
party, or if this no longer exists to

stroyed there is no need for any
further instructions on my part.
The paintings in the collections
bought by me during the course of
the years were never assembled for
private purposes but solely for the
establishment of picture gallery
in my home town of Linz on the
Danube.
1t is my most heartfelt wish that
this will should be duly executed.
Bormann Is Executor.
AS executor I appoint my most
faithful party comrade, Martin
Bormann. He is given full legal au-
thority to make all decisions. He is
permitted to hand over to my rela-
tives everything which is of value
as a personal memento or is neces-
sary for maintaining a petit bour-
geois standard of living, especially
to my wife's mother and my faith
full workers of both sexes
who are we'll known to him. The
chief of these are my former secre-
taries, Frau Winter, ETC., who helped
me for many years by their work.
My wife and I choose to die in
order to escape the shame of over
throw or capitulation, it is our wish
for our bodies to be burnt imme-
diately on the place where I have
performed the greater part of my
daily work during the course of my
II years service to my people

My political testament
More than 30 years have passed
since I made my modest contribu-
ton as volunteer in the First
World War, which was forced upon
the Reich. In these three decades
the love of and loyalty to my people
alone have guided me in all my
thoughts, actions and life. They
gave me the power to make the most
difficult decisions which have ever
confronted mortal man.
I have spent all my life, my power
and my health in these three dec
AIDES. 1t is untrue that I, or anybody
else in Germany, wanted war in 1889.
1t was wanted and provoked exclu-
sively by those international states
men who were either of Jewish
origin, or worked for Jewish inter-
eStS
I have made too many offers OF
limitation of ornaments which pos
terity will not for all time be able
to disregard for the responsibility
for the outbreak of this war to be
placed on me. Further. I have never
wished that after the first appalling
World War there should be a second
one against either England or
America. Centuries will go by, but
from the rains of our towns and
monuments hatred of those ulti-
mately responsible will always grow
anew. They are the people whom we
have to thank for all this: Interna-
tional Jewry and its helpers.
Offer Rejected.
Three days before the outbreak
. of the German-PoliSh War sug-
gested to the British Ambassador in
Berlin a solution of the German
Polish question similar to that in
the case of the Saar under interna-
tional control. This offer, too, can
not be denied. 1t was only rejected
because the ruling political clique
: in England wanted the war partly
for commercial reasons, partly be-
cause they were influenced by prop
, uganda put out by international
EJewry. I also made it quite plain
that if the peoples of Europe were
again to be regarded merely as
pawns in the game played by the
international conspiracy of money
and finance then the Jews, the race
which is the. real guilty party in
this murderohs struggle, would be
saddled with the responsibility for
it. left no one in doubt that this
time, not only would millions of
children of the European aryan
races starve, not only would mil
lions of grown men meet their death
and not only would hundreds of
thousands of women and children
be burned and bombed to death in
the cities, but this time, the real
culprits would have to. pay for their
guilt even though by more humane
, means than war.
After Six-year war which, in
spite of all setbacks, will one day
, go down to history as the most
glorious and heroic manifestation
of the struggle for existence of a
nation. I cannot forsake the city
which is the capital of this state.
AS our forces are too small to with
stand the enemy attack on this
i place any longer and our own re-
sistance will be gradually worn down
by men who are merely blind au-
tomato. I wish to share my fate with
, that which millions of others have
, also taken upon themselves by stay
> ing in this town. Further, I shall
not fall into the hands of an enemy
