Adolf Hitler was born on 20th April 1889 in Austria. His father was a customs official. The family name was originally Schickelgruber. Adolf Hitler grew up with a poor record at school and left, before completing his grade, with the ambition of becoming an artist. He went to Vienna to realise his dream. He didn’t succeed to obtain a scholarship in the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. In 1909 he moved to Vienna hoping to find work but in less then a year he lived in homeless shelters and eating at the charity soup-kitchens. He took occasional menial jobs and sold some of his paintings whenever he could. In Vienna he developed his hate concerning foreigners and Jews.

In 1913 Hitler moved to Munich in southern Germany. When war broke out in 1914 he immediately felt concerned and volunteered to join the German army. He fought bravely and was promoted to corporal. He won both the Iron Cross second class and first class. At the end of the war in 1918 Hitler was in hospital : he was wounded by a British gas attack.

Hitler stayed in the army after the war and one of his work was to spy at local political groups. One such group was the German Workers Part

By 1923 Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party. With important inflation, Hitler thought that the time was good for his party to obtain the control of Germany. With a group of ex-soldiers, including a war time air ace Hermann Goring, and Field Marshall Ludendorff, the Nazis plotted to seize control of Munich, the capital of Bavaria, and then established on Berlin. It was a disaster. The plotters had not planned things enough carefully and Hitler lost his nerves. He spent most of the crisis making speeches to his own supporters in common places. When Ludendorff finally persuaded him to lead a march through the streets, the police fired on the marchers and Hitler and the Nazis escaped. Two days later Hitler was arrested.Hitler received a five year prison sentence for the Munich Putsch, but prison was very comfortable and he was let out after being imprison less than a year. He spent his time writing a book about his ideas - Mein Kampf.
