I was intrigued by the Nazi movement championed by the infamous Adolf Hitler. I decided to share some of this amazing facts i discovered about Adolf Hitler. As much as many hated him but he was an image of someone who truly rose to power. From nothing to something that terrified the world.
There is a lesson i learnt from his story. Though He used his popularity negatively but his story showed that no matter where you are in life you can be anything and anyone you desire if you believe it and add reasonable action.

Lets take a look at his life

The Early Life of Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria. His early life was marked by poverty, rejection, and a strained relationship with his father. Hitler's mother, Klara, played a significant role in shaping his early years.

Hitler's Rise to Power
Hitler's involvement in World War I and his subsequent experiences in the German Army had a profound impact on his ideology and ambition. After the war, he became involved in politics, joining the German Workers' Party (DAP), which later became the Nazi Party.

While often portrayed as a one-dimensional figure, Hitler's personality was complex and multifaceted. He was known to be charismatic, intelligent, and a skilled orator. However, he also had a volatile temper and was prone to fits of rage.
Before becoming a politician, Hitler aspired to be an artist. He was rejected twice by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, which he attributed to a Jewish professor's bias. This rejection likely fueled his anti-Semitic sentiments.
Hitler's policies and ideologies had far-reaching consequences, resulting in the devastation of World War II and the systematic persecution of six million Jews during the Holocaust. His aggressive militarism and expansionist policies led to the occupation of several European countries.

Hitler's Personal Life
Hitler's personal life was marked by relationships with several women, including Eva Braun, whom he eventually married. He also had a fascination with occultism and mysticism, which influenced his ideology.
One of the ladies who was recorded to be close to Hitler was his half-niece.

Geli Raubal was Adolf Hitler's half-niece, daughter of Hitler's half-sister Angela Raubal. Geli moved to Hitler's apartment in Munich in 1929, where she lived with him until her death in 1931.
The nature of Hitler and Geli's relationship is a subject of debate among historians. Some speculate that their relationship was romantic or even abusive, while others argue it was paternal. Geli was known to be lively and attractive, often accompanying Hitler to social events. However, their relationship was marked by possessiveness and control on Hitler's part.

In 1931, Geli Raubal died under mysterious circumstances in Hitler's apartment. The official cause of death was ruled a suicide, but some speculate it might have been an accident or even murder. Geli's death had a profound impact on Hitler, who was deeply affected by her passing. Some historians believe this event contributed to his increasing isolation and erratic behavior.
The relationship between Hitler and Geli Raubal remains a complex and intriguing aspect of his life, with various interpretations and speculations surrounding their bond.

There is a book by Ron Hansen titled Hitler's niece.
