Hitler and Hitler Biography

Adolf Hitler was born April 20th, 1889 in Austria but moved to Germany and became a German politician that was soon to become the leader of the Nazi Party.

Hitler became obsessed with German nationalism from a young age.[27] He expressed loyalty only to Germany, despising the declining Habsburg Monarchy and its rule over an ethnically diverse empire.[28][29] Hitler and his friends used the German greeting "Heil", and sang the German anthem "Deutschland Über Alles" instead of the Austrian Imperial anthem.[30]

In world war 1, Adolf Hitler was a decorated veteran. Hitler also joined the German Workers’ Party in 1919 and 2 years later in 1921, he became the leader of the NSDAP, the Nazi party. About 2 years later, he attempted a coup d’etat in Munich.This failed coup resulted in imprisonment of Hitler for 1 year where he only spent 9 months in Prison. During this time, he wrote his famous book Mein Kampf(My Struggle), which combines elements of autobiography with description of Hitler's political ideology.

The Hitler Youth movement created in the 1920's, was a logical extension of Hitler's belief that the future of Nazi Germany was its children. The Hitler Youth was seen as being as important to a child as school was. In the early years of the Nazi government, Hitler had made it clear as to what he expected German children to be like.

In 1936, it became all but compulsory to join the Hitler Youth. Youths could avoid doing any active service if they paid their subscription but this became all but impossible after 1939.
