It's not like people didn't know that Hitler was a potentially murderous megalomaniac by that point (Mein Kampf laid out a lot of what he intended to do, and certainly, by 1938, Hitlers murderous streak was already established e.g.The Night of the Long Knives).
From what I've heard the book wasn't particular well written which is why the sequel was never published in his lifetime. Few read it, and those who did tended to chalk it up as the ravings of a young man without any practical experience in politics. The Long Knives were viewed as Hitler getting rid of the real radicals in the party and was generally viewed with relief. So I'll stand by my view that if he dies just after the Anschluss, he'll be remembered in Germany similarly to Stalin in Russia today.
