ADOLF HITLER
|
|
1. THE BEGINNING
|
|
|
|
At half past six on the evening of April 20th, 1889 a child was born
|
|
in the small town of Branau, Austria. The name of the child was Adolf
|
|
Hitler. He was the son a Customs official Alois Hitler, and his third wife
|
|
Klara.
|
|
|
|
As a young boy Adolf attendated church regulary and sang in the local
|
|
choir. One day he carved a symbol into the bench which resembled the
|
|
Swastika he later used as the symbol of the Nazi party. He was a pretty
|
|
good student. He received good marks in most of his classes. However in
|
|
his last year of school he failed German and Mathematics, and only
|
|
succeeded in Gym and Drawing. He drooped out of school at the age of 16,
|
|
spending a total of 10 years in school. From childhood one it was his
|
|
dream to become an artist or architect. He was not a bad artist, as his
|
|
surviving paintings and drawings show but he never showed any originality
|
|
or creative imagination. To fullfil his dream he had moved to Vienna the
|
|
capital of Austria where the Academy of arts was located. He failed the
|
|
first time he tried to get admission and in the next year, 1907 he tried
|
|
again and was very sure of success. To his surprise he failed again. In
|
|
fact the Dean of the academy was not very impressed with his performance,
|
|
and gave him a really hard time and said to him "You will never be
|
|
painter." The rejection really crushed him as he now reached a dead end.
|
|
He could not apply to the school of architecture as he had no high-school
|
|
diploma. During the next 35 years of his live the young man never forgot
|
|
the rejection he received in the dean's office that day. Many Historians
|
|
like to speculate what would have happened IF.... perhaps the small town
|
|
boy would have had a bit more talent....or IF the Dean had been a little
|
|
less critical, the world might have been spared the nightmare into which
|
|
this boy was eventually to plunge it.
|
|
|
|
2. WORLD WAR I
|
|
|
|
While living in Vienna Hitler he made his living by drawing small
|
|
pictures of famous landmarks which he sold as post cards. But he was
|
|
always poor. He was also a regular reader of a small paper which claimed
|
|
that the Araban race was superior to all and was destined to rule the
|
|
world. The paper blamed Communists and Jews for all their problems and
|
|
hitler agreed to those views. Hitler agree with most of the points made in
|
|
the publication. He continued to live a poor live in Vienna and in 1913
|
|
decided to move to Munich. Still living in Vienna and being Austrain by
|
|
birth, Hitler showed more loyalty to the Geramny. He thought that the
|
|
Aryan race was destined to rule the world. Many believe that he tried to
|
|
escape the draft but it was never proven. His live in Munich was not much
|
|
better then before and he continued to be poor. Then in 1914 World War I
|
|
broke out and Hitler saw this as a great opportunity to show his loyalty to
|
|
the "fatherland" by volunteering for the Imperial army. He did not want to
|
|
fight in the Austrian Army. Hitler was a good soldier. Many of political
|
|
opponents claimed that he was a coward but records clearly show that he was
|
|
not. He received to awards of bravery but never achieved a high Rank.
|
|
|
|
In 1918 Germany surrendered and Hitler was very upset about the loss.
|
|
He believed that it was the Jews and the Communists who betrayed the
|
|
"fatherland" and it was here that his disliking of the Jews most likely
|
|
began. Germany after the war was in chaos. With no real Government to
|
|
control the country, many groups tried to take control. One day a big
|
|
communist group staged a big riot but another group of ex-soldiers
|
|
including Hitler managed to hold them back.
|
|
|
|
3. THE NAZI PARTY
|
|
|
|
Since there were not many chances for employment Hitler stayed in the
|
|
army. Hitler was assigned the job of going go to various meetings of
|
|
groups which sprang up like mushrooms and to report on them. One day
|
|
September 12, 1919 - a fateful day in history, Hitler was sent to
|
|
investigate a small group which called itself the "German Workers Party".
|
|
Hitler was not to happy about his assignment. He thought it wouldn't be
|
|
worth it to even go. At the group mainly talked about the Countries
|
|
problem and how the Jews, communists and others where threatening the
|
|
master race and offered their own solutions. Hitler was bored by the
|
|
meeting but when a man stood up and claimed that Bavaria should separate
|
|
from Germany, Hitler got up and argued that point. He argued that Germany
|
|
and germans must unite into one to survive. His natural ability to speak
|
|
imprest the leader of the group and at the end of the meeting he gave
|
|
Hitler a pamphlet and an initiation the next meeting. He wasn't interested
|
|
in attending but after reading the hand out he accepted. He later joined
|
|
the German Workers Party and was in charge of Propaganda. The party was
|
|
small at first but Hitler's great skill at deliberating speeches attracted
|
|
more and more listeners and it soon became a major party with many
|
|
followers. Eventually Adolf Hitler became it's leader and the rest as they
|
|
say....is history.
|
|
|
|
4. HITLER IN POWER
|
|
|
|
While spending time in prison for trying to overthrow the government
|
|
Adolf Hitler wrote his famous book "Mein Kampf", in which he describes many
|
|
problems and where he states that the Jews and communists were responsible
|
|
for those problems. He also decided on the "Final Solution" to the "Jewish
|
|
Question". It was his goal to eliminate the Jewish race from the European
|
|
continent. It is interesting to look and see how a small time boy from
|
|
Austria with no education, money or political background could become
|
|
within a few years the leader of big nation such as Germany. Historians
|
|
believe that Hitler saw a great opportunity to get his views across to the
|
|
German people who have lost all hope. Of course people did not start to
|
|
support him right away. After he came into power, the Nazi party took
|
|
control over every aspect of every day life. Hitler ordered the creation
|
|
of a special police force to make sure that all opponents would be
|
|
elimanted, the Gestapo. He also gave orders to set up a special force
|
|
which would be used to transport and take care of all political prisioners
|
|
and people thought to be inferior. The name of the force was the feared
|
|
SS. Mass propaganda was used to persuade the German people that the
|
|
"Fuhrer" would make the country strong and powerful again. They also used
|
|
propaganda against the Jews and other minority groups which were considered
|
|
enemies. Teachers had to belong to the Nazi party, and children were
|
|
taught that Jews very the source of all their problems. Since the country
|
|
was in chaos after the war, and was forced to pay billions in damages, The
|
|
Germans saw hope in Adolf Hitler. In the late 20's the depression hit which
|
|
made the situation even worse.
|
|
|
|
Hitler in his speeches blamed the Jews and Communists for their
|
|
misfortunes and many listed. Unemployment was very high at that time
|
|
standing at about 25%. Hitler also spoke out against the unfairness of the
|
|
Versailles treaty. Germany lost a lot of its territory. The Empire was no
|
|
more. He believed the pure Araban race is destined to rule the world and
|
|
wanted to build an Empire that would last a 1000 years. He preached that
|
|
all Germans must unite in order for this goal to succeed.
|
|
|
|
Hitler publicly stated his views on the Jews. But the Jews of Germany
|
|
didn't see Hitler as a great threat at first. However when Hitler became
|
|
chancellor and eventually took over totally they changed their mind. The
|
|
first thing he did was to take the Jews their right to vote. Soon they
|
|
were not allowed to marry with a pure german, they could not hold positions
|
|
such as teachers, doctors lawyers,..and so on. Many Jews only then
|
|
realized that he was serious and many fled Germany. Why did so many
|
|
Germans follow Hitler? When he took power the economy was basically non
|
|
existent. Many looked for answers and hope. Hitler was their answer. He
|
|
promised to rebuild the Glorious Germany of the past. First he started to
|
|
build up the Wehrmacht. Germany was not allowed to have more than 100,000
|
|
men, but Hitler broke the treaty and gave orders to increase that number.
|
|
Factories started putting out weapons and people now had jobs. To the
|
|
Germans this was a very good sign. Mass rallies were held, where Hitler
|
|
continued to use his powers of speech on the German people.
|
|
|
|
5. THE ROAD TO WAR
|
|
|
|
At first the allies did nothing about the fact that Hitler broke the
|
|
Treaty. He gave speeches in which he indicated that the German people
|
|
needed living space. Later he Marched into the Reihnland, and area which
|
|
Germany lost. Next He moved into Austria, his home country and annexed it
|
|
without a shoot being fired into the Reich. Following Austria, he wanted
|
|
control of the Sudetenland, a part of Czechoslovakia which was mainly
|
|
German speaking. He also achieved that goal. The allies didn't want
|
|
another war so they led Hitler do what he wanted to, but when he Attacked
|
|
Poland on September 1st, 1939 the allies no longer stood by and watched.
|
|
Britain and France declared war on Germany a few days after later, World
|
|
War II began.
|
|
|
|
6. THE DARK SIDE
|
|
|
|
After the Wehrmacht conquered and occupied a territory the SS quickly
|
|
followed. They would round up Jews, Communists, Gypsies, Homosexuals and
|
|
others which were viewed as "Inferior" according to Nazi racial theory and
|
|
enemies of the German people and put on trains. They were all sent to
|
|
Concentration camps, which were set up to implement the 'final solution'.
|
|
Camps such as Auschwitz, Treblinka, Bergen Belsen were all equipped with
|
|
gas chambers to make the killing process quick and efectfull. In those
|
|
camps 6 million Jews and many others were killed by the Nazis. Hitler's
|
|
army seemed unstoppable but in the end, the allies managed to win many
|
|
decisive battles. Eventually on Aril 30th, 1945 Hitler committed suicide
|
|
in his bunker by shooting himself in the mouth. His body was burned, but
|
|
no ones knows what happened to the "Fuhrer's" ashes. On May 7th, 1945
|
|
Germany surrendered unconditionally.
|
|
|
|
7. THE MAN
|
|
|
|
Hitler was one of the most, if not the most cruel man to ever walk the
|
|
face of the earth. His believe of the superiorority of the "Aryan" race
|
|
made him hate all others. He believed that the slaws to the east should be
|
|
made work for the German people. He thought of blacks as being
|
|
"Sub-human". And Most of all he hated the Jews. So much that in early
|
|
1945, when equipment and manpower was badly needed on the front Hitler
|
|
insisited on man and equipment staying and continuing to tranport Jews to
|
|
the camps. In his Testament he left his money to his family. And message
|
|
to the Germany people "Above all I charge the leaders of the nation and
|
|
those under them to scrupulous observance of the laws of race and to
|
|
merciless opposition to the universal poisoner of all peoples,
|
|
international Jewry."
|
|
|
|
The only people which would be spared where the Scandinavians to the
|
|
north, since they were closely related to the German race. With Hitler's
|
|
death the Nazi party quickly fated. But there is still a lot of tension in
|
|
todays Germany.
