Hitler


            
             Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Branau, Austria, a small town across the inn River from Germany. He was the third son of Customs Official, Alois Hitler, and his third wife Klara. Alois moved his family into Linz, Austria where Adolf attended school and church regularly. Young Hitler was a good student until his mother's death when Adolf was only sixteen, and having his dad die just two years prior, he dropped out of school and made his way to Vienna, Austria to study art but poverty and rejection forced degradation that gnawed at his soul. He found relief in hatred in trade unionists and Marxists and thanks to the propaganda of Karl Lueger, in the hatred of Jews. Hitler identified all that he wanted and couldn't have; wealth, power, culture, and made them the root of his evil. Later Hitler explained this in an excerpt from Mein Kampf, "Gradually I began to hate them. I was transformed from a weakly world-citizen into a fanatic anti-Semite." Thus, he built his defenses against hopelessness, helplessness and fear. All of which was expressed in the art work Hitler created and sold to survive. He lived like this until 1913 when he decided to move to Munich. Still living in Vienna and being Austrian by birth, Hitler showed more loyalty to Germany. He thought that the Aryan race was destined to rule the wold. Then in 1914 World War I broke out and he saw this as a great opportunity to show his loyalty to the "fatherland" by volunteering in the Imperial Army. Hitler received two awards for bravery before suffering from temporary blindness that ended his life in the army. World War I ended, in 1918, with the signing of the Versailles Treaty stripping Germany of its land. In 1920 Hitler then went on to become a spy for the Munich government that sent him on the case that would change the course of history forever. They sent him to a German Workers' Party hosted by Gottfried Feder.
