Hitler

 

Childhood: Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, on April 20th 1889. His parents were Alois Hitler and Klara Poelzl. He was a hostile child growing up, who hated his father with a passion. He was a bully as a child, usually always in trouble. Alois died in 1903 leaving money to take care of th family. Hitler was extremely close to his mother, who always doted and pampered Hitler. When she died in 1908, he fell into a deep depression, leaving school at the age of 16 and tried to become a painter.

Adolf Hitler Painting

 

Adolf Hitler attempted to go to college to become an artist, but was unable to get into the school that he wanted. He was homeless for some time in the year 1906, sleeping on the streets. I remember listening to a teacher once, saying that all of Adolf Hitler’s own paintings are devoid of all human life, and that it may have been that first clue to his “true self” that he would become.
 
 
 
 
Rise To Power
 
 
Hitler started to create a name for himself. He entered the government as a chancellor in 1933. He rallied “German Pride” and when the president, Hindenburg, died in 1934, Adolf Hitler was the next successor. Slowly, the German economy began to improve, and Adolf Hitler took credit for this, boosting his popularity. This would cement his position as dictator, and most Germans looked up to him as a father figure. Not many, though, knew about the true atrocities that he commited. He was very charismatic, his speeches would captivate millions, and he was widely accepted. Slowly, using the media as propaganda, he began to turn his campaign towards “ethnic cleansing.” He created many laws against Jews, and kept increasing the economy, providing jobs for millions who had previously been unemployed.
 
 
Hitler was also very odd. He never smoked or drinked, and never wore cologne, and was an avid vegetarian. However, he loathed exercise, and would only go for a brisk walk.  Eventhough he loathed Jewish people, his first love was actually a Jewish girl who rejected him. He also was an animal lover, and had his dog euthanized before he killed himself.
 
Death:
 
 
 
 Towards the end of the war Hitler became very uneasy. His arm would shake constintly from Parkison’s Disease. He couldn’t sleep, and his usual perfect posture became slumped, as he fell into a deep depression. Finally, he would commit suicide, taking his own life after having to face that Germany was defeated after six long years of war. His dead body was wrapped in a grey blanket, half buried, and burned while the generals all saluted over his corpse.
