The power he had must have drove him mad for he saw a vision, a vision of an expanded empire, a vision of the perfect country. Hitler wanted a happy country where everyone was perfect, so gypsies, Jews, and beggars were sent to concentration camps where they usually were killed. Hitler didn’t notice that this was not a perfect country he was building. Then Hitler ordered the invasion of Poland, starting off World War II. Poland was not the last. One by one many of the little countries in Europe fell to the might of his armies. As powerful as he was he made a huge mistake by attacking the Soviet Union.
