The young years.

Adoph Hitler's parents both came from peasten and

catholic families. Adolph was born 6:30 p.m. April twenty

1889. They lived in south Austria. As a young boy Hitler

showed great leadership skilled. He organized raids on local

apple trees. He was a intelligent young man and enjoyed panting

He left for high school at the age of twelve and did very poorly.

This was probably because his father and brother had gone to

war with each other. Now the young Hither was determined to

be a artist. His father died when Hitler was only fourteen years

old. Hitler never did finish High school. Instead He deiced to

leave for Vienna to attend the Academy's school of fine arts.

Hitler in Vienna:

Hitler arrived in Vienna in 1907 to take the entrance exam

at the Academy's school of fine arts and failed. His drawings

were unsatisfactory. He got a letter from his sister informing

him of their mothers illness. She had breast cancer. Her doctor

removed the cancer but it was too late. Hitler stayed with her

until the end then returned to Vienna. he tried again at the

Academy's school of fine arts and failed again. When the

money his mother left him ran out he refused to go back home.

He spent five years

wondering Vienna. When he turned twenty-one he found a place

called Mannerheim. He live there for pennies a day. Hitler sold

his paintings on the streets to survive. It was there in Vienna that

Hitler found his four terror tattics. Pageantry, a massive

propaganda machine, then spiritual and physical terror. On

August 3 ,1914 Hitler Volunteered for the army. He received the

iron cross, military cross and one of the countries most

honorable awards the iron cross, first class.

Birth of a politician

After the war and Hitler's prized country lay in ruins

Hitler vowed revenge. He attended a group called DAP (German

workers party) the leader of this party was a man named

Drexler. Then a man said the Bavarian should break off from

Germany and join Austria. This outraged Hitler gave one of his

speeches on why they shouldn't. He couldn't believe that he was

hearing this treason. This anger filled the room. Once Hitler sat

down a burst on applse entered the room. He ended up joining

the group. Then taking over the group and renaming the

NSADAP to be know as the Nazi party.

The November Adventure

Hitler staged bigger and bigger rallies and organized

5,000 SA troopers. Then Hitler ran into trouble. The Allied

countries started poring money into Germany. Hitler was

thriving off the chaos and confusion. Then Hitler tried to take

over the Bavarian Govt. by force. This proved to be a mistake.

He was to be imprisoned for five years but ended up only

serving six months of it because of his friend in high places.

While in prison his began to write his famous book Mein

Kamph( my struggle). This book talked about his The Fuebrer

Concept, His Master Race, The Lebensraum Plan and his

French discussion.

The Road to Berlin

After Hitler got out of prison. He quickly found out he

wasn't a powerful man any more Nazi party membership had

fallen drastically, the party was forbidden to have private and

public meetings and Hitler could no longer speck in public but

worst of all for Hitler the economy was stable because of the

U.S and Great Britain and even worst the French had pulled out

of the Ruhr and German industry was rolling. But Hitler was

determined to rebuild His empire. Even more determined than

before. The Nazi party began to grow slowly and in secret. Then

the ban on the Nazi party was lifted. Then the slow rebuilding

was over when the stock market crashed in 1929. Germany was

especially hard it. Hitler started his public rallies again and

people flocked to him again. Membership jumped by the

hundreds then by the thousands each month. He got funding

from big industries. Hitler decided that he would take over the

country legally. Before elections came he launched a major

propaganda campaign. He expected to win fifty-five seats in the

Reihstag. Instead he won about 6 1/2million votes and 107 sets

in the Reihstag( Its like congress). He was given a chance at

Chancellor but was beaten by Charles Bruning from the

Catholic Center Party who was Chancellor before. Now the

Nazi party was second in the country. Hitler hated the

communist and had their meetings attacked. At this time Hitler

is not a yet a German citizen. The day before being appointed

Chancellor he became a German citizen.

Power and death

Within hours of being appointed Chancellor he called for

a special election. the election would be healed on the up

coming March 5th. With the election now in a month Hitler

ordered another massive campaign His storm troopers began

attacking the communist's meetings. Then a close friend clamed

to have found official documents saying that the communist's

were planing a revolution. The people wanted the document to

be brought to the public but he couldn't with out proving

him-self a lire. Hitler was very embarrassed, but not from long.

Soon after this embarrassment the Reichstag was set on fire. A

communist, who was put to dead. Hitler said that this was the

beginning of the communist revolution. He took full advantage

of the fire. He won 135 sets in this special election. Now the

Nazi party has 523 sets in the Reichstag. But the communist

managed to put 100 representatives in the Reichstag. With this

Hitler ordered the enabling act. This act killed the republic and

the Third Reich( the German state). In the Third Reich Hitler

has total control. He only has to answer to the president. In the

Third Reich the workers are not allowed to strike. Then a rumor

when around that the leader of the SA was to rebel against

Hitler and capture him, because Hitler would not let him control

the army. The president called Hitler and told him that if this

rumor was not put an end he would declare Marshal law. He

rounded up his SA friend and every one close to him and had

them killed. This threat made him realize that his powers meant

nothing as long as there was a president.

Nazi Germany

Hitler now realized that he must combine the powers of

the president and the chancellor. After the Death of the president

he held an election to combine the power. As usual he launched

another one of this propaganda companies. And he won, again.

He finally did it. He had won total control. He had to answer to

no one now. Hitler had argued that the future of the German race

could only be assured by colonizing large territories in the East

and settling them with Germans. The expansion of German

territory began in 1938 when Hitler's army marched first into

Austria, and then into Czechoslovakia. The invasion of Poland

in 1939 triggered the second World War, a war that lasted for

almost five years and cost the lives of nearly fifty million people.

In addition to that, Hitler's intense racism led to the infamous

holocaust - exterminating millions of innocent peoples mainly

Jews. In April 1945, when the war was lost for Germany, Hitler

committed suicide in his bunker in `Berlin. By shooting him-self

in the head while his girl Eva Braun took poison.
