Character analysis of Adolf Hitler
Hitler was born April 20, 1889 in Braunau he was the fourth child in a third marriage for Alios Hitler, a customs official. Overall, Adolf was a good student in his younger years. As he got into high school, however, he started to get in trouble with grades. Not long after being in high school, he dropped out at the age 16 due to his father’s death. His father’s death benefited him by leaving him and his mother land, allowing Hitler to stay at home and not work. In 1913, he moved to Munich upon interest of politics, but shortly after being there he got called for service in the Austrian Army. (Florida Center for Instructional Technology, 2005). Surprisingly, he did not pass the physical examination test. In August 1914, war was declared on Germany. Hitler volunteered and was accepted to help with the service. (Florida Center for Instructional Technology, 2005) He was a messenger on the western front. Hitler’s reign of Germany started in March 1933, after the Reichstag adopted the Enabling Act of 1933. President Paul von
Hindenburg appointed Hitler Chancellor on January 30, 1933 after a lot of parliamentary elections.
In World War 2 Hitler’s ultimate goal was to conquer eastern Europe. He held concentration camps which contained Jews. Starting in 1943, it was becoming known that Germany would soon to fold under pressure of the allied forces. Later that year on February 6th, the German army went into the Soviet Union and were annihilated at the Battle of Stalingrad after that there was talk amongst several German military commanders plotting to remove Hitler from power. The first attempt did not work; they tried to assassinate him but failed. In 1945, facing a siege of Berlin by the Soviets, Hitler withdrew to his bunker to live out his last alleged days 55 feet under the chancellery. Allegedly after making his last orders, Hitler and Braun went down to the bunker where they poisoned themselves and their dogs. It is also said that Hitler shot himself with a pistol after. Moving on to the conspiracy theories, there is no evidence of Hitler’s remains anywhere. They were allegedly cremated but still no evidence to be found until this day.
The way Hitler was seems as if he was not someone to surrender or choose death for himself. He has dodged his death on several occasions, making it hard to believe that he would choose to inflect death upon himself.
