Conversations Between Gandhi and Hitler

Believe it or not, but Gandhi wrote letters to Hitler. He did not agree with what Hitler was doing clearly but still addressed Hitler as "my friend" and finished with "your sincere friend." I find these letters important because Hitler and Gandhi completely contradicted each other. Gandhi wanted peace and non violence. He led a whole movement to get India Independence. Many went to jail for following his rebellions but in the end India benefitted from Gandhi's wisdom and confidence. Hitler is always finding someone else to take out. There are even records of Hitler contacting India's leaders during the time saying that Gandhi needed to be killed. Hitler did the opposite of Gandhi. While Gandhi inspired people Hitler was destroying people.
