One of Oklahoma City’s best-kept secrets is the 45th Infantry Museum. Among the relics hidden away in this martial labyrinth are a plethora of souvenirs plundered from various private residences of Adolf Hitler by said Division during the liberation of Germany in 1945. The remarkably plain yet extraordinarily eerie centerpiece of this particular collection is an oval mirror from the bedroom of Hitler’s bunker in Berlin. I couldn’t help but wonder, as I saw myself in the glass, if he had gazed into this mystical pane on the day he committed suicide.
Adolf Hitler was born on this day in Braunau-am-Inn, Austria-Hungary – 120 years ago.
