Confectionary of Chemists



Puck continued: “He had all kinds of body parts ground down and extractions and fluids from babies and virile men, scholars and gymnasts, even the bones of saints - he ate it all, wanting the ‘virtue’ of their life-force as he called it.”

Now he had Calvin’s attention. Francis looked uncomfortable and stroked his beard contemplatively - this subject made him miserable.

“Well how? Where?” asked Calvin flipping open his phone to Google “Hitler Cannibal”.

“In his chocolate,” said Puck blandly, “the human extractions were in his chocolate.”

Calvin just read that the guy ate two pounds a day of the stuff. “Sheesh” he said sitting back, giving a pause for the thought.

“Of course he got absolutely nowhere with all of this, whatever he had hoped. You can’t consume virtue and make it your own like that. But what would a devil know? They get everything back to front.”

  1. Most probably Hitler was "taken over" in 1918:
    "A young German soldier lies in a hospital bed, suffering from hysteria and mustard gas blisters. His face is bandaged with gauze. Is he really Adolf Hitler? When the bandages are finally removed, he will only slightly resemble his earlier person. A New Hitler is about to be hatched, a changed man, with almost no recollection of his past. His nose, forehead, and chin will seem permanently altered from inflammations caused by exposure to mustard gas. From now on, his voice will sound rough and croaking due to respiratory damage and coughing. He will wear dark glasses during the first period of recovery from his chemical blindness. He will have extreme difficulty recognizing his close friends and remembering old acquaintances. But he will be a New Hitler indeed, always mindful of the miraculous change which guided him on his occult mission to lead Germany. Literally overnight, he will quickly discover his eloquent powers of ceremonial speech. And he will debate with dogmatic opinions about history, geopolitics, philosophy, and other things that never crossed his mind before. The uneducated country bumpkin who never had a girlfriend will suddenly emerge from a few weeks in hospital as a seasoned diplomatic leader and spy. He will even shamelessly seduce his own niece.
    "Yet ironically, in 1918 the New Hitler will abruptly lose his artistic talent. Out of awkwardness, he must abandon the art of applying paint to canvas, even as a pastime. The illustrator who once made a living by selling landscape paintings in Vienna will now be all thumbs: he can't draw a straight line. His artist's signature will not be the same."
