Adolf Hitler

Today is December 19, 2009. Sixty eight years ago from today one of the biggest dictators of our society began his rein of power; Adolf Hitler. The story of Hitler is very fascinating to me. It amazes me every single time I read or study about him. He simply just became power hungry. One thing that I think most people don't discern is the fact that Adolf Hitler was NOT always a bad man. His life before his "rein of terror" was really just like any other rulers life.
He was born in Austria and grew up wanting to paint, though his painting skills were not very good. Growing up he maintained good grades and had high education plans for his future. At thirteen his father died. And at seventeen he went to Vienna to be an art student. He ended up quiting art school and as high school came along, his grades began to fall. At sixteen, Hitler dropped out of high school. After his hard work of trying to get into the fine arts school twice, Hitler quit all art. His mother died that same year. In doing so, he was given an inheritance from his mom and his aunt. So he was pretty well off by himself.
In 1913, Hitler moved to Munich, Germany because Austria wouldn't let him be a part of their army because he couldn't pass the physical. After World War I, Hitler thought that Germany was threatened, so he started to fight for Germany in World War II. In 1923, Hitler tried to take over Bavaria but he was stopped and put in jail for 5 years. While in jail, Hitler began writing a book called Mein Kampf (my struggle). In this book was every little detail to how he was going to slowly take over Europe legally. On December 30, 1924, Hitler was released from jail.
On December 19, 2009 (68 years ago) Hitler was named leader of Germany by Hidenburg. This one act of placing Adolf Hitler in a rulers seat, is what began the start of his terrifying leadership. As he saw what kind of changes he could make, he grew stronger and stronger in a way we all hope to never see again. Little by little Adolf Hitler slowly tried to take over Europe. And when he accomplished taking over the greatest portion of Europe, that wasn't enough for him. He now wanted the whole world in his own bare hands.
He thought of Germans and blond haired blue eyed people as the Aryan race (perfect race) and sought to make sure that was all the world consisted of. He made concentration camps all over Europe that were for the purpose of killing away those human who he simply didn't approve of. In the end he suceeded in killing over ten million people. Six thousand of them were Jews.
The fascination that I get from his story is the thought of Adolf Hitler actually being a good decent man. And putting him in the wrong seat made him more powerful than anyone would have ever thought.
I absolutly love the story of World War II and I love teaching it to people who don't fully appreciate it. Ever since I was little I have had an obsession with war stories. Hitler's is one that I have mastered in. I could write forever and ever about him and his series of events. The most profound thought that I get is how he wrote a whole book, published it, and sold it into society. Little did anyone know, this book contained all the secrets he used to take over so much of Europe. If only this book was a Twilight book, everyone would've known what was coming for them and a lot could've been done.
I love hearing and learning about Adolf Hitler and his rise to power. Hopefully the story sets a good example for those leaders in our world today.

"There must be no majority decisions, but only responsible persons, and the word 'council' must be restored to its original meaning. Surely every man will have advisers by his side, but the decision will be made by one man".
