4 Brutal Leaders and their Secrets

Everyone has hobbies. Whether it be rock collecting, photography, or playing a sport. Many people may not take the time to think that the most brutal people in history also had hobbies, but in fact they did. They are people like everyone else, it's just that their minds worked a little differently than ours. But that didn't keep them from having their own hobbies

1. Adolf Hitler

Determined not to tell his secret

 At first, many historians didn't think that Hitler had any secrets in his life. However, after a recent look through his house in 2007, they found things that shocked them. While searching through his cabinets, they found many pictures of zebras. Apparently, Hitler loved to take pictures of the white and black striped animal. They also found the word zebra mentioned many times throughout his diary. One entry said, "I wish I was able to go back to Africa and study the zebra. But sadly, I am stuck here in Germany with many more important things to do, since half the country now depends on me. Maybe someday I might resign and live out my life dream." 

2.Kim Jong-il 

Explaining to North Korea that he can't tell his secret

 Although Kim Jong-il seems like a very solemn man, he still has secrets. In fact, his parents made him go to classes to help him keep a serious face in all situations, in case something like this came up in his life. The secret about Kim Jong-il , it that he is a very skilled volleyball player. For the past 20 years, he won the National Volleyball Tournament in North Korea. Although it may not seem like he doesn't have time to  practice volleyball, he is actually practicing it everyday. Why doesn't he play in the Olympics then? Well, for beginners, it's a secret that he does this, hence the reason he doesn't tell anyone else, and why he closes off the country from the rest of the world.

3. Joseph Stalin 

The mustache of secretiveness 

Against common belief, Stalin loved to write novels. Beginning as a kid, Stalin wrote many things. His teachers always thought that his writing were better than anyone else in the class. However, many kids in his class mocked him because of this, so Stalin decided to keep it a secret that he wrote novels, for the rest of his life. His novels were actually quite well. Archeologists found 5 of them in the past 20 years. They haven't released any of them to the world yet, but the UN is voting whether or not the general public should be able to get a hold of them or not. 

4. Osama Bin Laden

Getting ready to reveal his secret

 Bin Laden is aspiring artist. No, not drawing. He loves to sing. He hasn't told anyone except his closest friends in the Taliban. Every weekend, he gets together with his buddies and they have a karaoke night. He is excellent at many songs, including today's most popular hits. He still doesn't believe that he is very good, although his friends insist he is the best singer there could ever be. If he ever gets the guts, he will actually release his first album, "Bin Laden and The Boys". But don't get your hopes up yet, since this album probably won't be in stores anytime soon.
