At this time Adolf lost lots of his friends and he started to enjoy games that copied games from the Boer War that involved lots of fighting. His favourite game was playing commando rescuing Boers from English concentration camps.

War Military: In 1909 Hitler should have registered for military service but he would not serve Austria so he ignored his call up papers. When the First World War started it gave him an opportunity to prove that Germany was superior to other European countries, he said, “I was overcome with impetuous enthusiasm, and falling on my knees, wholeheartedly thanked Heaven that I had been granted the happiness to live at this time”. Hitler volunteered for the German army and was finally accepted. His fellow soldiers described him as odd and peculiar.

He had plans to create the master race by fixing everyone that he thought were not normal, eg homosexuals, Jews and gypsies. By doing this Hitler and his army of Nazis killed over 6 million Jewish people. Ideas

The Disabled Hitler also wanted to get rid of all disabled people because he didn’t think there was room for disabled people in his perfect race. He believed they were not able to fight or do anything so he put every disabled person in a hospital, but they were not normal hospitals, they were places where they killed them all.

Homosexual One of his ideas in his evil life was to ‘cure’ people from being gay and lesbian. He decided to turn this mental idea into reality by persecuting and torturing everyone that was gay and lesbian to try and get them out of what he called the disease but if that didn't work he would even execute them or send them to concentration camps. He thought there wasn’t room for them in his master race. Between 5,000 and 15,000 homosexuals died during the Holocaust.

After the Holocaust After the Holocaust many survivors went into Displaced Persons camps run by the Allied powers. Between 1948 – 51 almost 700,000 Jews emigrated to Israel including 136,000 from Displaced Camps across Europe. After the Holocaust when the camps were closed down they found millions of shoes after Hitler kept them from all of the Jews who died. The last DP camp closed in 1957.
