Adolph Hitler :: essays research papers

Adolf Hitler   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Adolf Hitler was born to Alois and Klara Hitler in 1990 in Braunau, Austria. His parents couldn’t legally be married, because his mother was his father’s first cousin’s daughter. But they got permission from the Christian church in Rome, and were only an exception because Klara was already pregnant. When he was eight, the family moved to Vienna, which would be a city to hold quite an impact on Hitler’s ambitions.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  When Adolf was 12, his father had died. His father was the only person that wouldn’t let his grades slip, so two years later he dropped out of school. Then Hitler’s luck worsened, and two short years after, his mother passed away. Once his mother was gone, Adolf was completely alone. In 1913, he moved to Munich looking for a place to be employed. But he did not leave Vienna with nothing. As he left, he kept two things in mind that were valued there: Anti-Semitism and the idea of German supremacy. Adolf had always been into the arts, when he was in Munich, he’d go to operas when he didn’t even have food. He was a very good sketch artist of buildings and architects, but he could not draw people very well. Art was one of the two classes, P.E. being the other, that he excelled in. As he entered the political world, he would continue his interests in the arts.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  World War One hit on August 14, 1914. A few months later, he had joined up with the German army in the 16th Battalion. He became so dedicated to his battalion, that when people asked where he lived, he simply said, â€Å"The Sixteenth Battalion.† The reason why he had joined to fight for his country is because he wanted to purify the world. In his eyes, anybody who wasn’t German wasn’t part of the â€Å"Master Race†, which fell under Hitler’s idea of German Supremacy. Aryan was what the â€Å"Master Race† was deemed, which was a German with blonde hair and blue eyes. The irony of it is that he himself had brown hair and brown eyes, which he considered â€Å"not pure.† If you were not pure, you were to be cleansed, taken care of. If you were not with Adolf and his belief, you deserved to die. In 1916, he was shot and sent back to Germany. Then he soon returned healthy as ever.
