To start right off I don’t want anyone to get the idea I’m idolizing Hitler. He was an evil person who did a lot of nasty things. He was also the product of his environment not that he was a victim. Adolf was born on April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn, a town in Austria-Hungary, close to the border with the German Empire. He was christened as Adolphus Hitler. His dad was a nasty person who drank and beat everyone around him. His mother was overly protective which led to a weird environment for anyone to grow up in. In August 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, Hitler was living in Munich and voluntarily enlisted in the Bavarian Army. Now he was a citizen of Austria, not Bavaria. Adolf should have been told to go back to his home country and enlist there but for unknown reasons he was allowed to join the Bavarian army. Hitler managed to go from a corporal to the head of all of Germany. Here is his story.
