Adolf Hitler believed it was Providence that led him safely through the Great War, in which he fought for four years as a common soldier. He had plenty of close shaves, but one incident stuck with him. He was wounded; a British soldier had him in his sights - close enough to make eye contact. But the British soldier lowered his gun. Hitler nodded in gratitude and crawled to safety.
