In a tavern called "Old Rosenbad" in early September 1919, a man with a mustache was spitting at the few people in the audience. The audience at that time would never have known that this down-and-out street wanderer would become the fuehrer of Germany in the future, let alone that this man would lead Germany into the abyss of war. They only knew that this street slipper could speak the Tao, and every word was said to their hearts, and everyone present cheered and applauded him. Who is this street skater? He was a down-and-out "art student" from Austria, a Corporal of the German Army in World War I, Adolf Hitler.
Speaking of Hitler, it is estimated that many people are not strangers, the most wise and divine leader of Germany in the mouth of the majority of German sticks, we do not know how the German sticks regard Hitler as a "wise and divine weapon", but this brother's experience is definitely a model of salted fish turning over. He was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to a family of civil servants, and in the Austro-Hungarian Empire before the First World War, this status is not a social high class, but the good villain is also a middle class, at least there is no problem in eating and drinking. As the third child in the family, Hitler was quite valued by the family, and his father hoped that he would inherit his father's business in the future, and also become a civil servant, at least in the future.
Hitler's brain circuit is not on the same line as his father, and his father told him to go to the front door building, he listened to a crotch shaft, and the grandfather's thinking was not on the same channel at all. Hitler had no interest in being a civil servant, and in his life he did not want to be a civil servant, but only wanted to be a painter. Hitler's father was naturally furious, no less than mentioning Hitler's ear and scolding, and finally Hitler simply played "non-violent non-cooperation", the grades in middle school were called a poor ah, the listener was sad, the listener was in tears, and finally Hitler was expelled from the school with poor grades, and could only go to another middle school to mix a diploma.
At this time, Hitler had just turned 16 years old, and if others had not gone to college at this time, it was estimated that they would have gone to work, but Hitler was not like this, he was determined to become a painter, in addition to painting and reading, and soon after he had a new hobby - politics. At that time, Hitler did not have a good life, just like many people who have a bad life in modern times watch politics and become Internet politicians every day. To say that this was nothing in the European environment of that year, all kinds of politicalism were rampant, and Hitler successfully became obsessed with nationalism, believing that the Germanic nation was invincible and became a fanatical German nationalist.
Although it was not a problem to be a nationalist in that environment, it was not a problem to eat enough to eat and to be spoken. Hitler was penniless at the time, and had no other skills every day except to be an old man, and when he was 17 years old, he persuaded his mother to apply for the Vienna Academy of Arts, and the results of his cultural class level can be imagined, and he was left behind on the spot. The undead Hitler took the exam again in 1908, and unsurprisingly fell off the list again, and the penniless Hitler had to earn a living by selling paintings on the streets of Vienna, and sometimes as a short-term worker, barely having a bite to eat.
At this time, Hitler's parents died twice, which is the first request of the second dimensional male protagonist, but the second requirement of "having a sister and a house" cannot be put together. This script in hand, that in addition to the street slip, there is no good choice, penniless Hitler became a professional street slip on the streets of Vienna, the life is called a bitter ah, Huang even with bitter guts, mixed with bitter tea to drink is not enough to describe. It is worth mentioning that because Hitler hated the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a multi-ethnic country, he fled directly to Munich, Germany, after fleeing military service.
In Munich, his living conditions improved slightly, and he could make ends meet by selling sketches and watercolors, but Hitler wanted to become a soldier. To say that Hitler was absolutely full of food and support, it was not appropriate to let the soldiers of the motherland go, and he had to go far and far to become a soldier in Germany. After the outbreak of World War I, he joined the German army without saying a word. Hitler did well in the German army, becoming a corporal in 1917 and receiving the Iron Cross for his bravery. However, the people who had been in the same unit as him did not like it, because everyone else hated the war, and only Hitler advocated the war every day, and basically everyone in the army was annoying.
For Hitler, life in the army was the most comfortable day he had, but the happy days were always short-lived, and Hitler soon fell ill on the battlefield, his eyes were injured by mustard gas, and he was dragged to the hospital on the spot. He calculated well in the hospital, and when he was wounded, he would return to the battlefield and become a general in the war. He may not have heard a word, the ideal is very full, the reality is very bone, Hitler did not wait for the discharge to learn that Germany lost the war, his dream of generals was blown away, and he could only continue to wander the streets.
But fate took Hitler some measure, and after the war Hitler, like many Germans, was very dissatisfied with the Jews and the left, and in another quarrel he was appreciated by an officer and made Hitler a "scout" in the political department of the Wehrmacht in Munich. Don't think that this is a scout in the army, in fact this position is a "political police", the role of which is to monitor the various political parties in Germany. At that time, political parties in Germany were almost everywhere, and the so-called "scouts" were actually spies of the Wehrmacht, specifically used to spy on these parties.
To say that this is a disgraceful job, but Hitler himself still thinks it is very good, after all, this is also a well-organized job, much better than his street wanderer. This was also one of the turning points in Hitler's life, and in early September 1919 he was asked to spy on a political group called the "German Workers' Party", which was actually the predecessor of the Nazi Party, when there were not enough members to be 100 people, and Hitler went to the "Old Rosenbad" tavern as a guest of the tavern. To put it simply, Hitler did not rush to join at that time, he was a spy at that time.
Hitler did not want to speak at this rally, because the tavern was full of 25 members of the German Workers' Party, and he did not think that this party could be anything remarkable. However, there was a man there who propagated the evil idea that "Bavaria broke off relations with Prussia and organized a southern German state with Austria", which completely angered Hitler. Hitler immediately stood up and scolded the man, and then launched a clumsy but emotional speech about nationalism and anti-Semitism, which stunned the group of people who had never seen the world.
Hitler himself did not take this seriously, but he did not expect that he would receive a letter two days later saying that he had become a member of the German Workers' Party. Hitler was amused by this, and he couldn't figure out what was so good about this little party. However, Hitler suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing that he had gone after laughing, and perhaps this was the turning point in his life? Eventually Hitler joined the small party, becoming the 96th member of the party and then the 7th member of the presidium.
At this point, Hitler had his own political roots, and with his fanatical speeches and boundless energy began to develop this party, and finally there was the creepy Nazi Party. But no one could have imagined where he would take the German Workers' Party, much less that this devilish man would lead Germany into the abyss.
