Adolf Hitler, the Child:

Have you ever wondered how Adolf Hitler became the powerful and evil dictator he was? In todays society, no one is brought into this world as evil; everyone is born in the purest form of life. Something bad has to happen to someone that makes a person have so much hate. Therefore, in order to better understand what made Hitler so evil, people need to know that he was influenced by his relationship with his father, not being able to pursue his dream, and his beliefs.

Have you ever wondered how Hitler came to power? Have you ever wondered why people would join Hitler? Hitler’s leadership was successful because he started out as a Gefreiter, or Lance Corporal, in the Bavarian army during World War 1. In this piece, I will talk about Hitler’s rise up to take over Germany, how he expanded his reign out further to other countries, and how Hitler

During the time of Adolf Hitler, many young German Kids were forced to join the Hitler Youth. Teachers pressured the German students into joining the Hitler Youth program, In “Hitler Youth: Growing up in Hitler’s Shadow,” author Susan Campbell Bartolletti discussed the ways Adolf Hitler used education to further Nazi ideals. To make young Germans into good Nazis, Hitler changed the textbooks and the curriculum, so that it only taught Nazi approved ideas. Hitler also made the German students pledge to him every single day, by saying, “Heil Hitler” to a poster of him and a Nazi flag. Hitler and the Nazis also forced teachers to teach the Nazi ideas to make sure that every German student would grow up to be a good Nazi.

To fully answer this question one must look at the underlying philosophies behind Hitler’s leadership. What did he stand for and did his ideologies have any redeeming characteristics? Indisputably he had an ability to lead and motivate. He was revered with almost God – like fanaticisms by his people. This essay will set out to establish the basis of his leadership and within that framework, the nature of the man and his vision for the world.

Adolf Hitler is very much known for his barbaric deed and responsibility of the Holocaust-- possibly the most disturbing and most horrifying event to be recorded in history. The holocaust systematically killed over six million Jewish people, including over 1.5 million children that were victimized through a number of arguments that many believed was the cause for the destruction. It is difficult to conclude an overriding reason why the holocaust happened, although it is argued, however, that the imminent effect of the psychological state of mind of Hitler, along with the German citizens at the time, had a massive effect on what happened and what could have been prevented. Hitler’s anger and the country’s general

Self-interest can be said to be opportunism, or it is acting while taking opportunities and advantages of other people with total disregard of their interests while Human rights are the rights that are entitled to every human being. Throughout history, the world has experienced leaders who have been led by egoism, greed and self-interests which have led to violation of the basic human rights which include mass murder, deportation, among others. This paper attempts to explore case of dictator Adolf Hitler, a one-time Germany’s chancellor who rose to power in during the 1920s and early 1930s at a time of when, political, social and economic upheaval were under course. Hitler had failed to grasp the power by force in

Hitler’s time spent in the military in World War I and the Treaty of Versailles are also of great importance to the understanding of Hitler’s world view, which was invariably Darwinian and violent. He certainly shared the German sentiment that the terms of Versailles put unreasonable burdens on Germany and her people for the cost of World War I, and that the most concerning of the terms were those that reduced Germany’s size and restricted her right to maintain military forces. Hitler firmly believed that the doctrine of “survival of the fittest” applied to races in the same sense that it applied to species in the animal kingdom, and as such Germany’s post World War I situation placed her in a critical situation with only two perceivable outcomes; fight or perish. (Gregor, 40-41) The resulting decision to fight would achieve multiple goals for Hitler which

During Adolf Hitler’s early years he had a difficult life, he was extremely loved by his mother, Klara Hitler. On the other hand his father, Alois Hitler, beat him regularly. Adolf was a resentful, discontented child. He was deeply hostile toward his father Alois, and strongly attached to his hard-working mother. At the age of sixteen with dreams of becoming a painter, Adolf left school. In October 1907, Adolf left home for Vienna where he remained until 1913, he embittered at his rejection by the Viennese Academy of Fine Arts, he was to spend “five years of misery in woe.” In Vienna he acquired his first education in politics by studying “The demagogic techniques of the popular Christian social Mayer, Karl Lueger.” He picked up the stereotyped obsessive anti-semitism, with his brutal

This historical investigation analyzes the similarities and differences between three important Nazi leaders; Heinrich Himmler, Adolf Hitler, and Joseph Goebbels. After scanning a variety of sources, my analysis of the research indicates that there were many similarities between the three men such as childhood difficulties, education, and motivational developments. However there were differences as well including purpose/motives, and the establishment of leadership.

In Adolf Hitler’s childhood, he had formed his views against the Jews by himself, he didn’t really look up to anyone as a child, and he was almost at a loss with his doings. Adolf had formed his views against the Jews by himself, but the way he treated them may have been affected by his childhood. Adolf wrote: “I was convinced that the state was sure to obstruct every really

Adolf Hitler was obsessed with politics from the age of 16, at which is the age he left school. Hitler was greatly influenced by his history teacher, a staunch, right-wing German nationalist.(1) In 1914, Hitler was claimed to be unfit for the Austrian Army. Hitler got his break when he joined the German army on the outbreak of the first world war. While Hitler was in the hospital in 1918, he had heard that Germany surrendered. Hitler was shocked and angry. It was said that he blamed politicians as well as Jews for betraying

“The Meaning Of Hitler,” by Sebastian Haffner, translated by Ewald Osers, is an excellent read for those that wish to jump inside the mind of the military and orator genius, Adolf Hitler. The negative stigma surrounding Hitler is very well accounted for; he killed of millions from the relatively defenseless, Jewish population. However, this book breaks down Hitler’s life from his childhood to his eventual suicide at the end of World War II, and looks at the side of Hitler that made him stand out from the rest, explaining Adolf without the stigma attached. While doing this, he also realizes that Hitler was a normal human being, so he includes his mistakes and crimes alongside. The book is split into seven different sections, explaining the wonders

On April 20, 1889, a demon was brought into this world. His name was Adolf Hitler. He was born in the family quarters of the Pommer Inn in Braunau, a small city on the Austrian border. The child was unhealthy and his mother, Klara, worried that young Adolf would not survive. Klara provided much love and attention to her baby, which Adolf would later take advantage of to get what he wanted (Smith 50). Despite his self-centeredness, Adolf held a deep bond with his mother which united them throughout his childhood. On the other hand, Alois, Adolf’s father, failed to play an important role in Adolf’s development. Alois spent the majority of his time away from the customs station with his friends

In this essay I will discuss the methods that Hitler used to influence the young Germans until the end of the World War II. To analyze this topic will be considerable to show several points. I will discuss the people who supported Hitler in his rise to the power as background, how the Nazis used Nazi Propaganda to influence to youngsters, clarify why the young people

From January of 1933 to April of 1945, Adolf Hitler ruled over the German people and became known as one of the most notorious dictators the world has ever seen. Several studies done by scholars and historians show that Hitler “displayed substantial initiative, toughness of mind, self-confidence, and ruthlessness” (Housden 188). Using coercion techniques and his understanding of the human psyche, Hitler was able to bully and lie to his European neighbors in order to achieve his objectives. He fooled nations into believing his “peaceful” intentions, but his mission for World War II came to an ultimate failure leading to his suicide in April of 1945 (Housden 200). Adolf Hitler faced eventual failure as a military leader as a result of his misunderstandings of the “rules” of warfare. Hitler’s lack of experience and his inadequate knowledge of warfare were two of the key points that proved to be fatal.
