Adolf Hitler Essay, Research Paper

Adolf Hitler, a strict and cruel man who was the cause of the Holocaust became the

leader of the Nazi party. Hitler started off as a calm child in Austria, but as he got older

he became more power hungry and powerful in Germany.

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20th, 1889 in Braunau-am-Inn, Austria. His father,

Alois, worked as a customs officer on the border crossing and his mother, Klara, had

previously given birth to two other children , Gustav and Ida, but they both died in their

infancy. In 1896, Klara gave birth to Adolf?s sister, Paula, who survived longer than

Adolf. Adolf?s mother gave birth to two other children but they died very early on also.

Adolf?s father died in 1903 after suffering a pleural hemorrhage when Adolf was

at the age of only 14. Now that Alois was dead, Klara had to take care of Adolf and Paula

all by her self. Only four years after the death of Alois, Adolf?s mother died from the

development of terminal breast cancer. She was treated and taken care of by a Jewish

doctor named Dr. Edward Bloch, who treated the poor. (www.AdolfHitler.com).

In 1906 Adolf wanted to go to Vienna to take up art school after he saw that he

was going no where in school. During his first year in Vienna he applied for a fine arts

school but was quickly rejected. After two years in Vienna he became virtually penniless

and homeless. He then wandered the streets, sleeping on park benches and on street

sidewalks begging for money from other people. During this period was when he first

developed his prejudices for Jews, his interests in politics, and he began to learn about the

skill he had for debating.(http://remember.org/guide/Facts.root.hitler.html).

In May of 1913, Adolf, looking to avoid military services for Austria, left Vienna

for Munich, which is the capital of Bavaria. In Munich, Hitler went to and aunts house

who was dying, and stayed there for a little while. In January of the next year, the police

came to his door with the draft notice from the Austrian government. The paper said that

Adolf would have to go to be a year in prison and fine if he was guilty of leaving his

home land to escape military services. Adolf was then arrested on the spot. He was

brought to the Austrian Consulate and was found unfit, too weak, and incapable of

bearing arms and then went back to Munich, Germany.

Adolf Hitler had a great pride in Germany and in August of 1914, he volunteered

for the German army to help them fight in World War I. As Hitler heard of the first news

of the begining of World War I, he sank to his knees and thanked heaven for being alive.

After living homeless and poor for many years in Vienna, Hitler had finally found

himself a home in the trenches and on the battle field of the ?War to end all wars.? Many

teenage boys eagerly volunteered for the war, thinking it was going to be a short war, but

just long enough for them to see some action and to participate in the ?great adventure.? It

turned out to be a very long war in which millions died and an entire generation of young

men got wiped out. (http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/warone.htm).

During World War I, Hitler escaped death many times, but still kept volunteering

for the dangerous jobs. Adolf during most of the war was a dispatch runner, taking

messages back and forth from the command staff in the rear to the fighting units near the

battlefield. Adolf, unlike most of the other men around him during the war, didn?t

complain about the bad food or conditions, and liked to talk about art and history.

On October 7, 1916, Adolf?s luck of avoiding injury during battle has run out. He

was hit and wounded from a shell fragment. He was hospitalized in Germany and it was

his first time from being away from the front of the war in two years. After recovery,

Adolf was assigned to light duty in Munich. He did like the anti-war conspiracy going

around German civilians and blamed it all on the Jews. To get away from the anti-war

German civilians, Hitler asked to go back to the front of the war and was sent back in

March of 1917. (http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/warone.htm).

In 1918, after Adolf returned to the front of the war, he was blinded by poison gas

and was in the hospital recovering from his illness. While he was recovering, he heard

about Germany?s defeat in World War I and was devastated.

In January 1919, after the wars ending, Corporal Adolf Hitler returned to Munich

and was searching for political groups for the Germans army. In September, 1919 Hitler

was investigating the German?s Worker?s Party and attended one of their meetings. While

at this meeting Adolf was aloud to stand up and talk to the party. Anton Drexler, the

leader of the party liked the speech so much that he invited Adolf to join the party. So,

Adolf decided to join. At this very moment, Adolf learned where his true talent was. He

learned that he was good at speeches. A short time after joining the party, in February

1920, Adolf took over the party and renamed it the ?Nationalsozialistische Deutsche

Arbeiter-Partie? or National Socialist German Workers’ Party and adopted the red flag

with the swastika. Shortly after becoming the leader of the
