2. Who Was Adolf Hitler?
Adolf Hitler (20 April 1889 in Braun au am Inn, Austria – 30
April 1945 in Berlin) was the leader of Nazi Germany. Hitler
also led the NSDAP (often called the Nazi Party), the
democratically elected party which ruled Germany at this time.
He became Chancellor of Germany in 1933. This appointment
was allowed by the German constitution.
Hitler became dictator (complete ruler) in 1934. He called
himself the Fuehrer (leader) of the German Empire. The Nazis
created a dictatorship called the third Reich. In 1933, they
blocked out all other political parties. This gave Hitler absolute
power.

3. Hitler ordered the invasion of Poland in 1939, and this started
World War II. Because of Hitler, at least 50 million people died.
During World War II, Hitler was the Commander-in-Chief of
the German forces and made all the important decisions. This
was part of the so-called Führerprinzip. He shot himself 1945, as
the Soviet Army got to Berlin.
Many war crimes were done during the war by Nazi forces
acting under Hitler's directions. They killed their enemies or
put them in concentration camps. Hitler and his men
persecuted and killed Jews and other ethnic, religious, and
political minorities. In what is called the Holocaust, the Nazis
killed six million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and other groups
of people.

4. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler was one of the most powerful
and infamous dictators of the 20th century. After World
War I, he rose to power in the National Socialist German
Workers Party, taking control of the German government
in 1933. His establishment of concentration camps to
inter Jews and other groups he believed to be a threat to
Aryan supremacy resulted in the death of more than 6
million people in the Holocaust. His attack on Poland in
1939 started World War II, and by 1941 Germany
occupied much of Europe and North Africa. The tide of
the war turned following an invasion of Russian and the
U.S. entry into battle, and Hitler killed himself shortly
before Germany’s defeat.

5. Hitler’s involvement
in world war I
On 16 August 1914, Hitler joined the Bavarian army. He fought for
Germany in World War I. Hitler served in Belgium and France in the
16th Bavarian Reserve Regiment. He spent nearly the whole time on
the Western Front. He was a runner, one of the most dangerous jobs
on the Front. That means, he ran from one position to another one to
carry messages. On 1 November 1914, Hitler became a Gefreiter
(equivalent at the time to a private first class in the American and
lance corporal in the British armies). The government awarded him
the Iron Cross Second Class on 2 December 1914.

6. On 5 October 1916, he was hurt by a bullet shell. Between
9 October and 1 December, he was in the military hospital
Blitz. In March 1917, he went back to the front. There, he
was involved in a battle and was awarded with the
Militärverdienstkreuz Third Class with swords.
In March 1918, Hitler participated in the Spring Offensive.
On 4 August 1918, Hitler was awarded with the Iron Cross
First Class by the Jewish Hugo Gutmann. After the
capitulation of Germany, Hitler was shocked, because the
German army still held enemy area in November 1918.

7. THE NAZI PARTY
History of the Swastika
The Swastika is a religious symbol used by the Egyptians,
Chinese, Roman armies, and many others
The Swastika means good luck!
The Nazi Party used the Swastika because they felt it had
connections to original caste systems that avoided racial
mixing
The Swastika is banned in most countries, except for
religious or scholarly reasons

8. Nazi Party at it’s Peak
Adolf Hitler was sworn in the Chancellery on January 30th, 1933.
Hitler wanted to do away with the German democracy and form a
more dictatorship Government.
Hitler had a plan to get a bill signed that gave him all the power.
This included making new laws and control the budget.
When Adolf got this passed the Government in Germany had turned
to a dictatorship. Hitler had achieved what he had been working on for
years.
He could now do whatever he pleased like making laws against
Jews, and that was just the beginning of it.

9. Mein Kampf
Hitler wrote Mein Kampf (“My Struggle) in
1925 while he was in prison
This became the Nazi ideology – and it
attacked Jews, Communists, democracy,
and the Treaty of Versailles
Hitler also wrote that Germany needed to
destroy the French Nation and conquer
Russia, among other things
The book sold/distributed 10 million
copies between 1925-1934

10. Quote by Adolf Hitler:-
“Those who want to live, let them
fight, and those who do not want
to fight in this world of eternal
struggle do not deserve to live.”
