Adolf Hitler (1889-1945)
Most importantly to this article, Hitler was the leader of the German Nazi party. Through convincing oratory, outright illegal and violent tactics, he became the leader (Führer) of Germany (1933-1945). When he became Chancellor of Germany, he wasted no time in establishing himself as an autocratic dictator.
Hitler's parents were named Klara and Alois Hitler. His father was a civil servant (customs official), who was a strict and sometimes violent, father.
Hitler was born at ‘Braunau am Inn’ which is a small Austrian village across from the German border (Bavaria). He did aspire to be an artist before he found his real passion in politics, however he was not talented enough at the arts for when he applied to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, he failed the entrance exam, twice!
Before his entrance into politics, Hitler fought during WW1 on the Western Front, as a volunteer in the Bavarian army. This certain hardship he experienced was certain to have shaped his views and perhaps even warped his mind, as it did with so many others at that time.
Hitler was a known anti-Semite, it is true that anti-Semitism was rife in Germany at that time, so this was not an unusual view to have. However, believing the Jews should all be exterminated is surely an unusual view to harbor. It must be said that an individual who does not like Jews (anti-Semitic), does not always have the view that they deserve to be murdered, like Hitler did.
Hitler had deep blue eyes that were said to have a fanatical hypnotic quality. His hair was brown and straight. He did take on a vegetarian diet near the end of his life, but contrary to popular belief, for the most part of his existence, he was not a vegetarian.
Hitler had a dog (German Shepherd) during his time as dictator of Nazi Germany called ‘Blondi' (1941-1945). He was an animal lover, or at least, wanted to be seen as one by the public. Blondi died after he ordered it to be given suicide (cyanide) capsules that were intended for himself (he was convinced the suicide capsules were not the real thing). He was grief stricken after Blondi died as a result of his order (Hitler was wrong, the suicide capsules were genuine).
There are more than rumours that Hitler had only one testicle. There was a song during the wartime: “Hitler has only got one ball” sung by the British. This ‘one testicle allegation’ could very well have been just a propaganda myth, as there does not appear to be any conclusive proof of it.
Hitler did spend time in prison (Landsberg Prison ‘Bavaria’ - nine months of a five year sentence) for a failed attempt to overthrow the government (coup), when he was leader of the NSDAP (The Nazi Party). His time is prison was said to be “cushy” (having special privileges). This attempted coup in Munich was called the “Beer Hall Putsch”. In prison, he began his infamous book “My Struggle” (Mein Kampf) in which he blamed the Jews for the supposed wrongs of Communism and International Capitalism. 10 million copies of his book were either given away or sold, before the war was over.
Adolf Hitler's master plan even before becoming the dictator of Germany was one of expansion through warfare. He was a military dictator, there is no doubt of that. He wanted “living space “ (Lebensraum) for the Germanic Aryan peoples, so they could produce large families, so that they could take over the earth. He was an idealist.
His regime was Totalitarianism, to the core. He ultimately had the first and final say on everything. All enemies of the state were hung, shot or put in death/concentration camps, which he ordered constructed on coming to power. The concentration camps were places where people were put to be worked to death. There were also the death camps, specifically for the gassing of people and the incineration of their carcasses. The six death camps located in occupied Poland were called Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek and Auschwitz-Birkenau.
The Nazis used a substance named Zyklon-B to poison to death it’s victims in the gas chambers. These Zyklon-B pellets converted to a deadly gas when exposed to air. Zyklon-B was a substance that was used for fumigation, before it was found out that it could be used effectively for mass murder. The gas chambers were designed internally to look like giant communal shower units, so the victims would not panic upon entering.
Sonderkommandos were more often than not Jewish camp inmates that were forced, through pain of death, to help the Nazis move the recently gassed victims into the incinerators.
People were also rounded up and put in what were called “Ghettos”. Ghettos then, were cities that had a secured perimeter fence around them (stopping the inhabitants getting out), they were crammed full of Jewish people. For example, the Warsaw Ghetto (Poland) saw 400,000 Jews forced into an area of 1.3 square miles. Jews were taken from these Ghettos to the death/concentration camps in cattle carts via the rail network. The conditions in these carts were appalling, many died in transit.
He knew the power of propaganda, (political communication designed to influence public opinion) and he had found an effective propaganda minister in Joseph Goebbels. Everything at their disposal was utilised: Comics, Newspapers, Radio, Photography, Magazines, Art, Films, etc….
Hitler's, war machine began to be built as soon as he gained power with the mass manufacture of weapons and the design of new ones. This combined with expansive building projects, created mass paid work for the German people, which was so desperately needed. Hitler's master plans lifted Germany out of its great economic depression, that made him very popular amongst his own Germanic people.
The German military, under the reign of the Nazi party took nation after nation in Europe using Blitzkrieg (Lightning War) tactics. The tactics of lightning war were not seen before, which is why the defeated nations were somewhat flabbergasted at how easily the Nazis conquered them. These “lightning wars” were nothing like the trench warfare Hitler himself endured during WW1.
World War 2 did begin after the Nazi ‘controlled’ German military invaded Poland.
Adolf Hitler was a believer in the superiority of the mythological Aryan Race.
The racial term “Aryan” was spoken often and by many, long before Hitler, in every ethnic European descended state, including America and Britain (unlike today). People generally were more racist and openly so, compared to modern times.
Lots of what is said about Hitler and the Nazis in documentation is wrong and misleading. Do not always believe what you read. (Propaganda lies against the Nazis still exist to this day).
There was and still is a belief held by racialists that there was a distinctly separate, blonde haired, blue eyed, white skinned, tall, super race that originated from the Northlands of Europe tens of millennia ago.
The Nazis believed this supposedly once pure Aryan race descended down from the North around 50,000 years ago. They deduced there was great mixing between this race and the dark races of India and Mongolia in Asia. They surmised this racial mixing formed Arabs (lighter skinned Indians) and Orientals (lighter skinned Mongoloids). Pale skin being genetically dominant over recessive dark skin.
Furthermore, they assumed these new ethnicities (Arab and Oriental) moved back westwards and intermixed with the Aryans in Europe/Eurasia. Hitler was quoted for saying in regard to this matter “Always from the East”.
Mediterranean Europeans racially, were pertained to be “partially tainted” Aryans, by the Nazis (but still Aryans nonetheless). They were considered tainted as the Arabic peoples had in past millennia migrated up from North Africa into the Mediterranean lands and then blended with the Aryan communities there. Hitler new that the Germans, including himself were also somewhat racially tainted.
Hitler knew he was not a pure Aryan, he had dark features himself (Dark hair) The Indian trait coming through. You may read elsewhere in books and on the internet that Hitler thought the Germanic people were pure, this is not true. He knew that the German people were not pure anymore, this is simply a propaganda lie. He did however want to bring back these perfect people (Aryans) through the practice of state enforced eugenics.
Hitler pronounced ethnic Northern Europeans (Germans, English, Norwegians, Icelanders, Dutch, Swedes and Danes) to be the best specimens of Aryanism. Not pure, but the best specimens available.
Hitler considered African Negroes and Australian aboriginals at the bottom of their racial hierarchy, as they through the passage of time did not mixed with the Aryan race, unlike the Indians and Mongoloids did, in his view.
Hitler did not regard the past dark Indians or Mongoloid races as human at all, and he regarded the hybrid offspring of those races, Orientals and Arabs, as "Untermensch" which means Sub-human. Alternatively the word for Superman in German is “Ubermensch”
Hitler despised the Jewish people, who he called Sub-human. Semitic (Jewish) people do originate from Asia, like Arabs and Orientals, so, in his warped view, they were simply light skinned Indian/Mongoloid mixture (Sub-human). Hitler assumed the reason as to why some of these Semitic peoples have blonde hair and blue eyes is because the Jewish people generally practiced breeding solely amongst their own kind, as part of their religion (Judaism). He considered this genetic “throwback” from the original races through interbreeding.
Hitler and his Nazis sycophants believed in this ancient, Aryan Master Race, he wanted to bring them back, that was his obsession, to create a racially/genetically perfect people, to inherit the earth.
Hitler brought about a state eugenics program of selective breeding, like what humans do to animals (dogs, horses, cows, etc.…) to ensure the very best animals are produced for their purpose.
The Nazis did not allow marriages between ethnically Nordic Europeans and those they deemed further down on their racial hierarchy. Those with hereditary genetic condition were sterilised as to render them incapable of producing offspring (to stop their hereditary defects being passed on to the next generation).
Males thats were admitted into the Lebensborn program had to prove they had no non-Nordic ancestry to back as far as 1750 and were in top shape (health wise). It is said that the male had to prove purity, this really is not true, no one was pure at the time of Nazism, Hitler knew that. Hitler did not want Lebensborn men to have any Semitic/Asian ethnic ancestry. He wanted them to be as much Nordic ethnically, as was possible. This eugenics program (Lebensborn) created over 42,000 Nordic children.
The Nazis also took “Nordic looking” women and children from nations that they invaded. Two hundred thousand Nordic looking children were taken from Poland alone.
The Nazi Party did established concentration/death camps to hold those whom were considered to be the enemy of Aryan mastery. Those people were mostly Jews, but also Communists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Homosexuals, Anarchists, Gypsies, Pacifists and others.
It is clear that Adolf Hitler had grossly underestimated the war capabilities of the Soviet Union. What he said in the beginning about the invasion into Russia appeared to be true “We have only to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down" and Initially, it did. However, as time passed during the invasion of the Soviet Union, they showed amazing organisational supremacy and the ability as a Marxist nation to focus its entire attention on one thing, that one thing being, winning the war against Hitler's Germany.
All in all, the Aryan supremacist vision of one man “Adolf Hitler” led to the deaths of millions through war, starvation and of course, the gas chambers (Holocaust).
Despot, Adolf Hitler (56) took his own life briefly before Nazi Germany was defeated, alongside his wife Eva Braun (33) in a Berlin bunker (The Führerbunker). It is believed that Hitler shot himself in the head with a Walther PPK pistol, (he possibly took a hydrogen cyanide capsule as well) whilst his wife Eva certainly took a cyanide capsule at his side.
With the use of gallons of petrol and a match, their carcasses were incinerated by fellow Nazis outside the Führerbunker.
The End.
