To be accurate, these are technically not tweets, as Twitter would not exist for another 60 years or so. But in 1944 Adolf Hitler, feeling unfairly deprived of that platform, began his own right-leaning version of the future social media giant, which he called Mein Social. Its logo seems to have looked like this:
Hitler apparently posted repeatedly to this site, ramping up his output early in 1945 and peaking in April of that year. Unfortunately, since the internet had yet to be invented, none of his posts actually showed up anywhere until 2017, when they mysteriously uploaded to a backup server in a post office in Hamburg, Germany. There they languished unread until last week, when I found them while conducting some totally above-board "research" online.
I am now releasing these, the final messages the world will ever receive from Adolf Hitler. These give a fascinating view inside the mind of a dictator when his world is crumbling around him.
