By Tyler Street Adolf Hitler’s Life

The German Army  Adolf Hitler was ready to serve the country he believed in when the World War I started. That Country was Germany.  Hitler was put in the position of dispatch runner. He was very ambitious and always volunteered first for the dangerous missions.  He was promoted to corporal but stopped at that ranking, because of his odd personality and inexperience in leadership.  They thought if he became in charge his soldiers wouldn’t respect him.  Hitler was given the iron Cross for his achievements and bravery in the war. He also won many other metals. When Germany Lost Adolf blamed it on the Jews.

Early Political Life  Hitler was a great speaker, he used his words to get so many people to believe in him. This is also how he got into politics.  The party he first got into was the National Socialist party, he was the speaker of the party. After Adolf realized he was the reason behind the growth of the party he challenged Drexler, the leader of the party, for leadership.  After a little hesitation Drexler gave up the position for the sake of his political party.  Hitler gained power over the Nazi party in 1921, after that people started flowing in because of his speeches.  Even though he expressed his anti-Semitism often.

Mein Kampf  While Hitler was sent to jail because of treason he had time to write a book, that book was called Mein Kampf.  The book was all about the races and how they were racially ranked. At the top of the list was the Aryan’s, they had fair skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. At the bottom of this list was the Jews, Czechs, Poles, and Russians.  This book contributed a lot to the popularity of Hitler and the Nazi party.  When Hitler became Chancellor of Germany Millions of copies were sold.

Nazi Party at it’s Peak  Adolf Hitler was sworn in the Chancellery on January 30 th, Hitler wanted to do away with the German democracy and form a more dictatorship Government.  Hitler had a plan to get a bill signed that gave him all the power. This included making new laws and control the budget.  When Adolf got this passed the Government in Germany had turned to a dictatorship. Hitler had achieved what he had been working on for years.  He could now do whatever he pleased like making laws against Jews, and that was just the beginning of it.

World War II  The first stage of World War II was to use the German Blitzkrieg tactics. This was to have sudden shocks against enemies airfields, military installations, and communications.  They would do this using fast mobile armory, then follow up with infantry after bombings and using fighter airplanes. In using these tactics Hitler took over Poland in one month.  After that it was France, Belgium, Holland, and Luxembourg in six weeks. Then He captured Denmark and Norway in two months.  After Hitler did all this only Great Britain was standing strong. When Hitler tried to attack Soviet Russia they were beaten, Hitler was stunned at his lost.

The Death Marches  As the Soviet Union got closer on ending the war, Hitler frantically set up death marches so he could kill as many Jews as he could.  They would walk the already frail and weak people for miles every day. If they fell down or were to weak they were shot dead.  They walked the Jews all the way to the Baltic Sea and if they were still alive then they were shot in the sea.  Hitler wanted to rid the world of as many lesser people as he could, thus he started the death camps.  This shows how passionate his hatred for people like Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, and many others.

The Fall of Hitler  When Hitler heard that the Russians were coming to Germany he fled to his bunker in the spring of  His bunker was in Berlin Germany, there he spent the remainder of his days. It’s also the place where he spent his 56 th birthday.  When Hitler heard news of the war being over, he told everyone that the third Reich had failed.

Then they went into their quarters, Hitler shot himself and his wife bit into a coincide capsule.  There bodies were hurriedly taken up to the garden and burned so the Russians couldn’t take his body. That was crucially important to Hitler.

Afterwards  All of Hitler’s main followers had only one plan in there heads and that was to stall signing a treaty with the Russians.  They did this so they could get as many soldiers as they could away from the Russians so they could escape. It didn’t work out as they planned, the Russians caught on and demanded they sign it.  When the Jews were free the first thing they did was try to locate family members that had been lost.  When it came to all the surviving Nazi members they were hunted down and put into custody.
