Adolf Hitler is known to almost everyone who has studied the history of our country. This man became a politician and speaker, as well as the commander in chief of the armed forces of Germany.
Adolf's policy was clearly manifested during the Second World War, which began in Europe. His name is also associated with various crimes against all of humanity. This applies not only to relations with Germany, but also to the countries that it occupied.
Throughout life, many wanted to kill the German rebel. Once a Swiss citizen decided to shoot Hitler from a distance of about ten meters, but at the last moment Adolf changed his plans and went to another part of the city. The young man tried to meet in person, used fake letters for this. When he spent all his money, he tried to leave, but was arrested.
We bring to your attention a list of 10 interesting facts about Adolf Hitler: his biography explaining many of the tyrant's actions.
10. Was illegitimate
Adolf was born in 1837 in Austria. His mother was a simple single peasant woman named Maria. Since the boy was born illegitimate, he received the name of his mother.
It is worth noting that the fact of who Hitler’s father was still unknown. According to some, it is believed that this is Johann Georg Gidler.
Or this person could become the brother of this young man Johann Nepomuk. In numerous sources, he is indicated as Guttler. But here there are a number of other factors that apply to one and the other. One way or another, Hitler received precisely this surname.
9. Shy and in every possible way hid his origin
Hitler always tried to hide who he is and from which family. But he himself had no idea that the police secretly studied his biography, which developed in small pieces into a single whole.
Hitler's family included people who suffered from a terrible disease - schizophrenia. His cousin suffered from her. Many could not understand for a long time, as a result of which such mental deviations began.
There was only one answer - incestuous marriages. Many of Hitler's relatives were related. There are suggestions that Adolf's mother and father were relatives, albeit distant.
Previously, the church did not agree to marry people until they received permission. But almost everyone knew the situation in the family. Father constantly beat mother and son. She always tried to protect herself as a child.
It is for this reason that cruelty and terrible bloodthirstiness were always present in the boy. Adolf loved his mother, but always chose the role of a predator - a beast. He was shy about talking about her in any society.
8. As a teenager, composed a play, a libretto, wrote poems and short stories
Hitler always studied very well. It is believed that at the age of thirteen, when his father died, he was in Linz. The boy was worried for a long time, but on the instructions of his mother, he continued to go to school.
Then he firmly decided for himself that he wants to be an artist, to paint landscapes. Although his father dreamed that Adolf became an official, like him.
At fifteen, Hitler graduated from third grade. At this time, he first wrote the play, some poems and even short stories. It is worth noting that for the Wagner opera he created a libretto.
7. Didn’t like studying at school, especially French
Adolf studied well, although he did not like it at all. But most of all I did not like French. Often, for this reason, he could stay for another year of study. That is why I retook the exam in the fall.
Many teachers noted that the boy has many abilities, but more one-sided ones. Sometimes he did not control himself at all, he could flare up at any moment. We can say that even then some psychic traits appeared in it.
6. Constant disagreement with the environment, rebellion and hatred
Hitler hated the Jews very much. He considered them the lowest race. In his speeches, he always argued that the true race that should rule the world is the Aryans.
Also, when Germany lost in World War I, Adolf blamed the Jews and the Communists for this. It is worth noting that Hitler never agreed with society. I always wanted to have a personal strategy so that no one could guess about his plans.
5. He painted, but could not enter the Art Academy
Not many people know that Hitler was engaged in drawing. He painted, and then sold them. But he did not become a real artist.
The rector of the Vienna Academy of Artists once saw Adolf’s work, and said that he should never pick up a brush. Perhaps this was a fatal mistake, as many historians claim.
After all, if Hitler entered the academy, then the desire to paint pictures completely captured him. Studying the arts took him most of the time, and therefore his thoughts. He devoted all his strength to what he liked to do.
Many art historians believe that history could have developed completely differently. Studying art, he could meet a girl who would help him perceive the world and himself in a completely different way.
It is worth noting that after the end of World War II, many paintings of Hitler were found. They were sold at a very high price at auctions.
4. I was glad to participate in the First World War
The First World War began when Adolf was only twenty-five years old. But he personally said that when he found out, he was very glad. He immediately wrote a statement to the king, in which he asked to be accepted into the army. In response to his letter, he was called to the ministry. In October 1913, Hitler swore allegiance to the king and the emperor.
3. Dictated his speeches “in the same breath”
It is worth noting that all of his performances, Adolf dictated in one breath. The typist recorded them, and sometimes several. Eyewitnesses said that until the last moment he delayed the dictation, and then went back and forth, reflecting on his words. After Hitler began to dictate, he made a speech with various flashes. He screamed hard, was nervous, gestured.
The secretaries who were sitting at the typewriters barely had time to write down the information. After a couple of hours of such a text, they corrected errors in it that were made at the time of writing.
2. Love of Eve Brown
Once in the life of Hitler, a woman appeared who overshadowed his consciousness. But no one could understand how Eva Brown was able to fall in love with such a "monster".
Eva Brown was born in Munich in 1912. Her family was very simple. True, it was often inherited from the tyrant's father. In childhood, the girl was sent to study at the monastery. There she fell in love with various German things - the kitchen, the church.
Eve met Hitler when he was 40 years old. The girl had just graduated from high school and was about to get a job. Her whole family was against this relationship, but she was deeply in love with Adolf.
She could not show her feelings at all, because Adolf wanted other women to find him attractive. Hitler and Eve have been together for about 16 years.
1. Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in Europe
Hitler was always considered one of the most cruel people in the world. But at the same time, in 1939 was nominated for a Nobel Prize for establishing peace in Europe. It was this man who was able to create the most disciplined power.
