Introduction: Adolf Hitler was the leader of the German Aryans during World War Two, Hitler was the Chancellor of Germany and his main goal was to create a master race to take over the world. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in a tavern in Austria. Hitler was born into his family with 5 others siblings. His Father Alois Schickelgruber and Mother Klara Potzl changed all of their family members last names to Hitler because, both of Adolf’s Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and most of his family members were Jewish. Adolf’s father died when he was thirteen years old, his siblings abandoned him, and he was left alone with his mother and he had to work to take care of her. But Shortly after Alois died, his mother, Klara died aswell and he was all alone. Although Hitler wanted to create a master race, he violated his own standards, and in the end, he took his own life.
From January of 1933 to April of 1945, Adolf Hitler ruled over the German people and became known as one of the most notorious dictators the world has ever seen. Several studies done by scholars and historians show that Hitler “displayed substantial initiative, toughness of mind, self-confidence, and ruthlessness” (Housden 188). Using coercion techniques and his understanding of the human psyche, Hitler was able to bully and lie to his European neighbors in order to achieve his objectives. He fooled nations into believing his “peaceful” intentions, but his mission for World War II came to an ultimate failure leading to his suicide in April of 1945 (Housden 200). Adolf Hitler faced eventual failure as a military leader as a result of his misunderstandings of the “rules” of warfare. Hitler’s lack of experience and his inadequate knowledge of warfare were two of the key points that proved to be fatal.
