The Film Hitler: The Rise Of Evil

especially noted when he earned the First Class Iron Cross, the highest military honor a German

As a talented speaker, self-righteous ruler and vengeance-addicted man of power, Adolf Hitler held great strength in determining and shaping Germany after the time of World War 1. Hitler's ideologies were ones of sole-ruling, of a nation consisting of a pure race similar in characteristics both in the sense of appearance and mindset. It was not with intimidation or physical ability that Hitler captivated his country, but with words as mesmerizing as the character he portrayed.

There are many world leaders in different countries and regions on earth who play a significant role in societies. Their role is significant because they have derived their power from their own birthright or from the people who have elected them. The rise of Dictator Adolf Hitler to supreme power in Nazi Germany would prove to be an event in history that was totally inexplicable in any terms. He was an adventurer who desired to conquer the German people and dominate the entire world, reshaping it accordingly to his desires and pleasures. The evidence of his pestiferous acrimony is all around us, making it quite difficult to believe he did it all on his own. Hitler is one who emerges from obscurity to shake the world from its foundations. Hitler’s journey and significant role can be seen through his early life, time in Nazi Germany, and death.

It is January 1939. Liesel Meminger, a nine year old girl, soon to be ten. She has a dream about Adolf Hitler, the Führer, and one of his powerful speeches. As she wakes up from her dream, she sees her brother, Werner lie motionless, on the train, dead. They stop at the next nearest down, where he is buried by two grave diggers, one is a young apprentice. Spotting a book slip out of the apprentices pocket, The Grave Digger’s Handbook, Liesel picks it up. Liesel and her mother make their way to Munich, where they are say goodbyes and separate for good. Liesel is

At the start of grade school, Hitler’s father, Alois, retired from his job at the Austrian Civil Service. Hitler’s environment at school was very stressful because his teachers were very strict. His environment at home was also stressful. His father was used to giving orders at work and having them obeyed and he did the same thing at home. In addition, money was very scarce because there were five people, his father, Alois, his mother, Maria, an older half brother, Alois Jr., a younger brother, Edmund, a younger sister, Paula, and himself; all living on his father’s pension. His home life was also unstable and he was made to feel like an outsider: 1) even though he had two parents, Alois was verbally and physically abusive to Hitler’s older brother, Alois Jr., practically ignoring Hitler, while his mother was so focused on the younger children, she neglected the older ones and 2) because money was scarce, they moved around frequently, so he changed schools often while his living spaces got smaller. After his brother ran away at the age of 14, Hitler’s father turned his abusive behavior on Hitler with beatings and constantly talking down to

He moved to Munich to prevent his arrest for evasion of his obligation in joining military service. He avoided joining the military until the outbreak of WWI. In 1914, Hitler avidly enlisted to serve in a Bavarian regiment, “it gave his life direction and a cause which he could commit himself totally” (Adolf Hitler and World War I: 1913–1919). Hitler was a courageous soldier; he was promoted to the rank of Corporal, he was injured twice, and was awarded many medals. Hitler became partly blind, on October 1918, when there was a mustard gas attack near Ypres in Belgium. As a result, he was sent to a military hospital where, on November 11, 1918 he would learn that the opposing side called truce and to stop fighting for a while. The end of the war had a great impact on Hitler, there was a chance he could get demobilized or taken out of active service in the military. If he was demobilized it would be “tearing him from the only community in which he had ever felt at home and returning him to a civilian life in which he had neither direction nor career prospects” (Adolf Hitler and World War I: 1913-1919). The German army, also known as Reichswehr, gave Hitler a job as an educator and an informant. This left Hitler with no purpose in life, until he joined the Deutschland Arbeiterpartei Party, or German Workers’ Party

Hitler was brought up in an anti-Semitic society where Jews were deeply hated by most people for no good reason. He was fed false lies such as a group of communists and Jews were planning a terror attack on the rest of society. He then began to hate Jews and ended up in a position where he could do anything he wanted and nobody could stop him. He made the nation anti-Semitic and formed groups such as the Einsatzgruppen to murder ‘undesirables’ – disabled, homosexuals or Jews.

Hitler had a rough childhood. His father was stern and his mother was the same. They both died when Hitler was young and impressionable. He aspired to be an artist, but when he applied to the art institute, he was rejected. Later on, he tried again, but to no avail, he had failed again. Since his dreams of being a artist were crushed he enlisted in the German army. He had been injured twice, once in the eyes. When he was on leave for his second injury, Germany submitted their surrender. Hitler thought of this as betrayal after all he had fought for. Also he considered this a sign that the strong Germany he knew was gone.

Even though Germany was left in a period of struggle and economic weakness after WW1, Adolf Hitler would take a stand by creating a party that would help refine the structure of the economy. This party, when abbreviated, was called Nazi, would also create harsh laws and unrelentless punishment. Due to the Nazi party’s quick growth, there was an immediate impact on lifestyle and politics for the people of Germany. The long term impact brought forth by the consequences or legacy of the Nazi party included a population decrease and an increase in deaths. To make both of these impacts, Hitler had to overcome many hard challenges.

At the start, Adolph Hitler had rough relationship with his father. Hitler, “ bore the brunt of his father's discontent, including harsh words and occasional beatings,” (Meier 2000). His father focused the beatings mainly on Hitler’s older brother, Alois, until he had enough and ran away from home. His father then targeted Adolf, who was 7 at the time, to be his victim. Hitler’s father was abusive

He was rejected from the school. After spending all money his mother left him when she passed away in December 21, 1907, Hitler found himself homeless, surviving off of charity soup kitchens. Many homeless shelters he stayed at were owned by a Jewish Baron. For four years Hitler refused to get a job and painted cheap postcards. He started reading anti-Jewish literature. In 1912, Hitler moved to Munich, Germany, where his lifestyle didn’t change. He enjoyed finding small groups of Germans who would listen to his political ideas about Jews and Communist. In 1914, World War I started and Hitler enlisted. He ranked as a corporal, which is not a very high rank. He was noticed for his bravery and awarded with the Iron Cross, which is a very rare medal. Hitler’s fellow soldiers found it odd that he rather enjoyed war (Stewart

This tragedy begins during his childhood, the fundamental years of one’s life. Shaped by a strict father, and little interest for school. Adolf eventually dropped out at 16 with no qualifications. His parents rejected his desire to pursue an education and career as an artist influencing him to leave home and travel to Vienna in 1908. Although he would be rejected from the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, during this time in his life he would encounter the individuals whom would shape his radical and extremist ideologies. Ideologies that would shake the world, and eventually lead to the deaths of millions and influence a group for decades to come. Mayor of Vienna Karl Lueger, anti-Semitic politics were fundamental in Hitler’s policies. He spent a couple of years in Vienna on the streets struggling as a painter. However, he hated the multi-ethnic

Our last witness was Hans Buer, Hitler’s personal pilot. He was allegedly in the room when Hitler killed himself. Buer stated that Adolf Hitler shook his hand, said goodbye, and then shot himself. Before he could be questioned, the Red Cross took him offsite (Matthews). When questioned later, Hans seemed unsure that it was Hitler who died since Hitler had up to eight look alike doubles. He speculated it was one of them and that Hitler escaped that day (Matthews).

The 30th of January, 1933 marks the day in which Germany and to a greater extent the world was rocked forever. Why? Because the leader of the Nazis, a nationalist and socialist party was signed in as the chancellor of Germany. His name, Adolf Hitler, has grown to be recognised as one of the most hated in history to this day. How did this malicious man grasp the power of Germany? It turns out that some of the causes sprouted from some of the darkest times in German history…

The Rise of Hitler During the 1920's and early 1930's Germany was trying to recover from World War. It had to pay reparations and try to rebuild the economy from bankruptcy. It was because of the weaknesses of the economy and the Weimar Government, together with the growing popularity of the Nazis that Hitler was able to become Chancellor.
