Adolf Hitler

Early Life:


Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, the fourth child of Aloise Schickelgruber and Klara Hitler in the Austrian town of Bravura. Two of his siblings died from diphtheria when they were children, and one died shortly after birth. Aloise was a customs official, illegitimate by birth, who was described by his housemaid as a "very strict but comfortable" man. Young Adolf was showered with love and affection by his mother. When Adolf was three years old, the family moved to Passau, along the Inn River on the German side of the border.Between the ages of six and eight, Adolf attended two different schools based upon where his family was living. He was rewarded and praised by his teachers for constantly having high marks and for acting properly in class.Once he was finished with primary school, his father enrolled him in the Realschule which focused more on matters such as science and technology than a traditional curriculum. Klara Hitler died from cancer when Adolf was nineteen and from then onward he had no relatives willing or able to support him. So, in 1909, he moved to Vienna in the hope of somehow earning a living. Within a year he was living in homeless shelters and eating at charity soup-kitchens. He had declined to take regular employment and took occasional menial jobs and sold some of his paintings or advertising posters whenever he could to provide sustenance.In 1913 Adolf Hitler, still a penniless vagrant, moved to Munich in southern Germany. Hitler during world war I At the outbreak of the First World War, in 1914, he volunteered for service in the German army and was accepted into the 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment . Hitler fought bravely in the war and was promoted to corporal and decorated with both the Iron Cross Second Class and First Class, the latter of which he wore until his dying day.

Hitler's Wedding:

Eva Anna Paula Braun was born on February 6, 1912, in Munich, Germany, to a school teacher and seamstress. Braun was the middle child of three daughters in a middle-class family and seemed to be the typical teenager, with a major interest in clothes, boys and makeup. She enjoyed outdoor activities and wasn't too interested in her studies, earning average grades.She attended a convent school, but left upon realizing that it wasn't a good fit. She later went to work as a bookkeeper and assistant at the shop of Heinrich Hoffman, who had become Adolf Hitler's personal photographer. Braun met Hitler at the store in 1929, when she was 17 and he was 40, running the National Socialist German Workers Party.n the early 1930 s, Braun and Hitler became more closely involved after one of Hitler's mistresses committed suicide. The exact romantic extent of Braun's relationship with the leader is still not fully known, though Braun expressed deep devotion to the relationship.In early April 1945, Braun traveled from Munich to Berlin to be with Hitler at the Führerbunker. She refused to leave as the Red Army closed in on the capital. After midnight on the night of 28–29 April, Hitler and Braun were married in a small civil ceremony within the futherbunker. The event was witnessed by Joseph Goebbels and Martin Bormann.

Formation Of A Political Nazi Party:


The Nazi Party began as a small group of extremists known simply as the German Labor Party in Munich in 1919. It was started by mainly middle-class workers who were looking to meet and discuss politics. The group was not radical, large, or even a solid political party. In the beginning, they were not popular or even well-known among the general population, but that was soon to change. The powerful voice of Adolf Hitler transformed the German Labor Party into the National Socialist movement that culminated in the establishment of the Third Reich in 1933. Armed with propaganda, a fiery rhetoric, and a pen, Hitler set out to make Germany the greatest empire in the world .This insignificant little party became the National Socialist German Worker’s Party and their membership grew exponentially. It is highly improbable that the Nazis would have come into being without the cunning rhetorical skill of Adolf Hitler and his steadily increasing use of propaganda in the 1920’s. In 1933, they took control of Germany largely due to the incompetence of the Wiemar government and the economic crisis of 1932. Starting less than a month into their term of office, they attempted to completely restructure every aspect of German society from the flag to the economy to traditional holidays. Their overriding vision was to completely alter what it meant to be German using propaganda, censorship and terror on an unprecedented scale.Hitler, after some thought, finally agreed to join the committee and became their seventh official in September 1919.The First Hofbrauhaus Speech Given responsibility for publicity and propaganda, Hitler first succeeded in attracting over a hundred people to a meeting in held October at which he delivered his first speech to a large audience. The meeting and his oratory were a great success, and subsequently in February 1920 he organized a much larger event for a crowd of nearly two thousand in the Munich Hofbrauhaus. Hitler himself was not the main speaker, but when his turn came he succeeded in calming a rowdy audience and presented a twenty-five point programmed of ideas which were to be the basis of the party. The name of the party was itself changed to the National Socialist German Workers Party on April 1st 1920.Not long after the February speech he was discharged from the army. Hitler continued to expand his influence in the party and began to form a private group of thugs which he used to quash disorder at party meetings and later to break up rival party's meetings. This group subsequently became the Sturmabteilung or S.A. - Hitler's brown shirted storm troopers. He also became the regular main speaker at party events from then onward, attracting large crowds for each meeting. During the summer of 1920 Hitler chose the swastika as the Nazi party emblem.

Why Did World War II Started?


After World War I ended in 1918, Germany had to give up land and was banned from having armed forces.In 1933 the German people voted for Adolf Hitler, who led a political party in Germany called the National Socialists or Nazis. Hitler promised to make his country great again and quickly began to arm Germany again and to seize land from other countries.The Second World War was started by Germany in an unprovoked attack on Poland. Britain and France declared war on Germany after Hitler had refused to abort his invasion of Poland.

What Happened In World War II?


World War II was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, though related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (during which approximately 11 million people were killed)and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centers (during which approximately one million people were killed, including the use of two nuclear weapons in combat) it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.

What was holocaust:

The Holocaust began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and ended in 1945 when the Nazis were defeated by the Allied powers.The term "Holocaust," originally from the Greek word "holocaust" which means "sacrifice by fire," refers to the Nazi's persecution and planned slaughter of the Jewish people. The Hebrew word "Shoah," which means "devastation, ruin, or waste," is also used for this genocide.Hitler hated Jews because he thought that Jews were the people who took victory from Germany in world war I so the holocaust started.On April 1, 1933, the Nazis instigated their first action against German Jews by announcing a boycott of all Jewish-run businesses.Nazis then issued additional anti-Jews laws over the next several years. For example, some of these laws excluded Jews from places like parks, fired them from civil service jobs (i.e. government jobs), made Jews register their property, and prevented Jewish doctors from working on anyone other than Jewish patients.After World War II started in 1939, the Nazis began ordering Jews to wear a yellow Star of David on their clothing so that Jews could be easily recognized and targeted.After the beginning of World War II, Nazis began ordering all Jews to live within certain, very specific, areas of big cities, called ghettos.It is estimated that 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust. Six million of these were Jews.The Nazis killed approximately two-thirds of all Jews living in Europe.An estimated 1.1 million children were murdered in the Holocaust. 

Hitler's Death

 After 40 hours of Hitler's wedding, Adolf Hitler committed suicide by gunshot on 30 April 1945 in Berlin. His wife Eva  committed suicide with him by ingesting cyanide. Hitler committed suicide because he had been defeated by the Russians and the Russians were going to take revenge from Hitler because of his cruelty towards Jews.  The bodies of Hitler and Eva were cremated in the chancellery garden by the bunker survivors as per Hitler's order.

There are many movies revealed on the life of Adolf Hitler and the top ones are "The Downfall,The Nazis,The Valkyrie,The Inglorious Bastards and The Olympia.
