Hitler

A detailed Summary of Hitler

Adolf Hitler was responsible for more evil and suffering than any other man in modern history. There were many occurrences during his lifetime that triggered the outcome of what would happen later in history.

Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau Am Inn, Austria, on April 20, 1889. As a child he did very poorly in his studies; he did not complete high school. He was a great artist and actor. 'He applied for admission to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna but was rejected for lack of talent.' (Andreas Dorpalen, Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia) He didn't let anyone stop him from what he wanted to accomplish. He was the greatest pubic speaker in his time. Later events reveal that Hitler was evil and wanted to create his own specific culture and race.

>From 1909 to 1913, Hitler lived in the poorer districts of Vienna, moving from place to place. 'As a young boy he idolized the priests and for two years seriously considered becoming a priest himself.' (http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/boyhood.htm) In 1913, he moved to Munich, Germany to avoid military service in the Hapsburg Empire, which he despised.

While he was behind bars, he wrote the first volume of a book, Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"), outlining his political and racial ideas in brutally complex detail, serving both as a blueprint for future actions and as a warning to the world.

In his book, Hitler divides humans into categories based on physical appearance, establishing higher and lower orders, or types of humans. At the top, according to Hitler, is the Germanic man with his fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes. Hitler refers to this type of person as an Aryan. He asserts that the Aryan is the supreme form of human, or master race. "The mightiest counterpart to the Aryan is represented by the Jew."

After the war had ended and Germany was in ruins, Corporal Adolf Hitler was ordered to investigate a small group known as the German Workers' Party in

During the Great Depression, Hitler knew the people were desperate and would listen to him, so he decided to run for president. On Election Day September 14, 1930, the Nazis received over eighteen percent of the total, and were thus entitled to 107 seats in the German Reichstag. In the presidential election held on March 13, 1932, Hitler got thirty percent of the votes, while Hindenburg got forty nine percent.

A few days before Christmas 1924, Hitler was released from prison after nine months. When Hitler was 39 years old, he fell in love with his niece Geli Raubal (was the daughter of his half sister), who was nearly half Hitler's age. They had a romantic life, but when their relationship was having problems, Geli shot herself and died. Hitler became extremely depressed.

World War Two finally broke out in 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland. Hitler led many German victories. His greatest military undertaking of all was the invasion of the Soviet Union, which failed. Hitler refused to retreat, which caused him to lose the already conquered countries.
