In May 1945, many important documents were found in the bunker of Adolf Hitler, which helped to shed light on many events of the Second World War. Among the papers was the “USSR wanted list” with the names and personal data of persons to be destroyed. Special files were compiled by the Nazis and in relation to citizens of other states. This information was not really a secret. The Fuehrer openly named those whose words or actions seemed offensive or demeaning to him. He pronounced their names during public appearances and willingly shared them with journalists.
Politics
For obvious reasons, Hitler included a large number of political figures of that time in his "black list". He considered Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill, and De Gaulle to be his personal enemies. Roosevelt did not want to become an ally of Hitler and publicly called him a "dumb gangster" who can only solve problems with the help of force. After the German attack on Poland, Churchill promised to imprison the Fuhrer in the Tower. Of course, the Fuehrer did not like such attacks.
Defense
In addition to the famous Marshal Zhukov and Field Marshal Montgomery, the names of less senior military personnel were also found in the file cabinet. For example, the hero of the Soviet Union Marinescu, who sank a huge number of enemy ships, as well as the virtuoso saboteur Ilya Starinov, Mikhail Borisov, who destroyed 7 enemy tanks with his own hands, the sniper Vasily Zaitsev, who was zealously hunted by fascist shooters, the leader of the partisans Dayan Murzin, who took captivity of General Müller himself.

The science
Mikhail Koshkin, who designed the T-34 tank, managed to get on the list of Nazi enemies after his death. That is why the Kharkov cemetery, where his body rested, was destroyed by the Germans.
Wolf Messing fell out of favor with the Fuhrer after his prediction, in which the seer witnessed the death of the leader of the Nazis in the event of their invasion of the East.
Art
Servants of art also got on the death list: poets, writers, actors. So Erich Maria Remarque for his literary activity and anti-fascist statements became the personal enemy of the Fuhrer. The German writer Feuchtwanger turned out to be objectionable after he visited the USSR in 1937 and wrote a book about it. Ilya Ehrenburg from Kiev also appeared in Hitler's field of vision for anti-fascist prose.
Soviet cartoonists Boris Efimov and Vladimir Galba, who made fun of Hitler and his henchmen, were also among the disliked by the Fuhrer. The artist Kharis Yakupov, a master of the historical genre and portrait, also did not like Hitler.
Charlie Chaplin became a personal enemy of the Fuehrer after the release of the film The Great Dictator. Marlene Dietrich angered Hitler by emigrating from Nazi Germany to the United States.
Sport
Jesse Owens, a dark-skinned athlete who became champion in 1936 at the Olympic Games in Berlin, undoubtedly also did not pass Hitler's black list.
The Nazis were even infuriated by a whole football team called "Start" from Kiev, whose members won a match against German pilots.
Journalism
For the murder of radio announcer Yuri Levitan, who supported civilians and Soviet soldiers with his voice throughout the war, Hitler promised a large reward.
The journalist and writer Ernst Henry (real name Leonid Khentov) fell out of favor with the Nazis for his book Hitler against the USSR.
