Hitler was an extremely bright child. He even said, "The school work was ridiculously easy, leaving me so much free time that the sun saw more of me than my room...". Although as he got older his marks started to slip and the teachers began to get a bad impression of him, he was still very bright (one cannot become stupider). He eventually went on to join the army and become a semi-successful soldier (on the account that he was merely wounded and not killed).CHILDHOOD

The Hitler family consisted of the mother, Klara, the father, Alois, and two children, Alois and Angela. Klara gave birth to a baby boy

As time passed Hitler became increasingly interested in politics. Hitler's life yet again fell apart and he left for Stumpergasse. After that he moved to Felberstrasse where he bought a magazine called Ostara. This was a racist magazine that described struggles between Aryan people and non-Aryan people. The magazine wanted people to fight for the Aryan cause. Hitler really enjoyed these magazines and continued to buy them regularly. Hitler eventually went totally broke and was forced to live in the streets like a vagrant. By 1909 he was a full-time tramp, hanging out with them and becoming a part of their society. Hitler became sick in the year that followed and his vagabond friend Hanisch became worried. After the winter had passed Hitler and Hanisch started selling Hitler's drawings. They started to make bigger and better paintings and drawings until his paintings could be sold for as much as 10 kronen.

Hitler, being the leader of the Nazi party wanted them to do well. Because of the failure of the previous parties in the parliament, the Nazi party got 14.7 million votes and had the most seats in parliament in Germany at the time. Their popularity rose almost 37% in one term. There were several factors involved in this. The first was the failure of previous other government parties to deliver Germany out of poverty. The other chancellors had failed and they lost in a vote of non-confidence. Hitler was appointed chancellor on January 30, 1933. Hindenburg who was the president at the time had to appoint Hitler because of two factors: Papen, the chancellor who preceded Hitler was voted out by a vote of non-confidence. The other reason is that Hindenburg was a royalist and believed that Hitler could return Germany to a royalist state without breaching the constitution, which Hindenburg seriously believed in. So the Nazi party took control and turned Germany into a dictatorship based on terror.

Hitler encountered many obstacles in the years to come. He would fall into poverty in Austria and eventually end up in Germany where he would start his journey toward leader of the Nazi party.

In 1906, Klara was diagnosed with sarcome pectoris, a malignant growth in the breast. She had an operation two months later but remained quite ill. Her illness affected the family life greatly. She still had to take care of Paula, now 11, and support Adolf. Adolf now took to politics somewhat. He would leave at six in the evening and return home reading about Pan-Germanism or anti-Semitism. His mother died in early 1907. Hitler now began to vegetate even more. He would not leave the house for days on end. He tried to get into Art Academy but was politely rejected. He was so convinced that he would be accepted that the rejection devastated him.
