Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler was a man who brought many horrendous atrocities upon mankind. He was an Austrian who lived from 20 April 1889 to 30 April 1945. His parents were completely different characters. His mother, Klara Hitler, was a sweet woman who treasured her son but unfortunately, over indulged him. His father ,Alois Hitler, was a terrible man who started to abuse Adolf Hitler from the age of six. As his mother was soft on him and his dad was harsh, he was bewildered by the two extremes. As he grew up, his school grades started to worsen. His dream was to become to a good artist but The School Of Fine Arts told him that he had no talent as his paintings were sexual. This made him very mad. Later on, Hitler turned into one of the extremely monstrous dictators in history. He became a German politician and the leader of The National Socialist German Workers Party, which was later known as The Nazis Party. Hitler became the head of The Nazis party in 1919. He was also Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945. He played the lead role as the Fuhrer in World War II and the Holocaust, which was also known as The Shoah. It was a horrifying crime against humanity when about six millions of human beings, mostly European Jews, were eliminated with no pity, at the orders of the Fuhrer. Hitler was the direct cause of all of those disasters.

Before World War II began, Germany's economy was in dire straits. Hitler knew that the hard- working Jews had tremendous wealth. Hence, he targeted them because he knew that they had what he wanted. Because of their success in business, many Germans at that time were also envious and started to resent the Jews as a group. Hitler used this sentiment to his advantage by fuelling the fire of racial tension, by the cunning use of propaganda. Germans wanted better living conditions, so his speech persuaded everyone relatively easily. Jews didn't notice Hitler's actions until he ordered his sky units to spread the newspapers about Jews having negative impacts on Germany. When they realized that they were in big trouble, it was too late because most of the population in Germany were already starting to follow Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was the main reason why Germans hated the Jews at that time.

As the Jews were now hated by Germans, more Jews from other European countries were annihilated during World War II. About 66 percent of European Jews were arrested, most of whom were subsequently killed. They were treated with so much cruelty under the Third Reich. They were tortured in many horrifying ways. For example, sometimes, they were forced to strip and got whipped until they were dead. Some of them were locked in the Gas Chamber, where Nazis released poisonous gas and let the prisoners die slowly and painfully. There were many other brutal methods of torture, inflicted upon the prisoners. These cruel acts were mostly carried out by Nazis. The soldiers that were on the front line and eliminated most of the Jews were known as the Death Squad. They also massacred anyone who defied or irritated them. However, they weren't punished as they had the authority to do anything they wanted. They were also responsible for the Jews who attempted escapes. The commander of all of those units was a man named Jürgen Förster. He was trained as an SS-officer. He enjoyed killing Jews as much as Adolf Hitler. Many horrible things were done to Jews, who were innocent, because of Hitler's selfish desire to become powerful.

Two of the most horrible events in history, World War I and World War II, were started by Germany. Germany lost both times. As Hitler was the man who was mostly responsible for World War II, he became paranoid when Germany began to lose the second World War. In the end, he committed suicide by gunshot on 30 April 1945 in his Fuhrerbunker in Berlin. His wife, Eva, also died by consuming cyanide in the joint suicide pact. Later on, as per Hitler's last wish, their remains were quickly removed, laid in a ditch, covered in petrol and set on fire.

With his death, all the madness and hatred towards the Jews began to dissipate as the Germans were glad that Hitler was no longer alive. Adolf Hitler continues to be hated until today.
