Life and Times of Adolf Hitler
Hitler once shouted from the podium during his rise to power, "Struggle is the father of all things... It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle" (Columbia n.p.). For Hitler, this view of life was a vicious contest for dominance, a hard lesson beaten into him by his overbearing father. The brutal struggle that Hitler endured during his early life brought about the demand for power in his quest for notorious domination. Hitler was ashamed of his father's brutality but never-the-less proud of his own ability as a youth to endure the punishment. This quality was demonstrated again and again throughout his life as a soldier, later as a Nazi firebrand, and finally as the overpowering leader of the German people. Adolf Hitler's strenuous fight all started in his early years. As a child Hitler lived a depressing and fearful life. On April 20, 1889, at Braunau-am-Inn, Austria, Adolf Hitler was born the fourth child of Alois Schickelgruber and Klara Hitler (Grolier 246). Alois, a Austrian custom official, was described by many as a stern and abusive man. Although it was not uncommon to be bea

In May 1913, escaping military service, Hitler left Vienna for Munich, the capital of Bavaria. In January, police arrested him and he was found guilty of leaving his native land with the intent of evading conscription. Hitler's early life prepared him for the battles which he was going to face in the years to come ("Hitler" n.p.). Hitler used Nazism as a key to bring people to understand his beliefs, and to join him in his political ideas. The German Worker's Party shared the same convictions as Hitler, and he saw this opportunity as a way to rise to power. Hitler was recruited to join a military intelligence unit, and was assigned to observe the German Worker's Party. At that time, comprised of only a handful of members, it was disorganized and had no program. His blossoming hatred of Jews was the central agenda of the party's platform. Hitler built up the party, converting it from a "gang" to an actual political party (Grolier Hitler, Adolf. Columbia Dictionary of Quotations Columbia: Columbia University Press,1993.
