On June 28, 1940, during his sightseeing tour of Paris, Hitler viewed Napoleon’s tomb. Apparently he thought it was condescending that you looked down on the tomb, thus it was his wish that people look up at his tomb.
“There are people who put their rank and title on their gravestones,” Hitler told his cameraman, Walter Frentz. “In my case two words will be enough: Adolf Hitler. The German people would know who it was if the only word was Adolf.”
