Adolf Hitler, born in Braunau, Austria, was the initiator of the Second World War and was also recognized by the world as a "war maniac" who carried out genocide. When World War I broke out in August 1914, Hitler, a fanatical war activist from Austria, volunteered for the 16th Regiment of the Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment in Germany.
The military experience of the First World War undoubtedly had a great impact on Hitler's later life, as an ordinary soldier fought against the Anglo-French coalition forces on the Western Front, successively participated in the First Battle of Ipré, the Battle of the Somme, the Battle of Arras, the Battle of Baszingda, and won the Iron Cross, and throughout the Second World War, Hitler, who already had absolute authority in Germany, still liked to wear this ordinary World War I medal.
In September 1919, after the end of World War I, Hitler received an order from the Political Department of the German Army to investigate the situation of a small political group calling itself the "German Workers' Party". In this way, Hitler first met this small party with only 54 members at that time, and this organization became the platform for Hitler's subsequent rise.
The terrible "German Hero"
After the defeat of Germany in the First World War, Germany could be said to have fallen into a situation of "no livelihood for the people": in September 1929, the number of unemployed in Germany was 1.3 million, a year later it reached 3 million, in September 1931 it rose to 4.35 million, and in February 1932, except for a few million temporary short-term jobs, the number of unemployed people in Germany reached 8 million.
When Hitler came to power, faced with these 8 million unemployed people, he promised to "work, work, work again", to carry out huge loans, carry out various development undertakings, especially the military industry, expand armaments and wars, and achieve full employment before the war. Nazi Germany under Hitler deeply understood the significance of grasping people's livelihood at that time, and took the initiative to propose "vacation", which doubled the number of rest days, and also vigorously developed mass tourism, with only forty to eighty Reich marks for fourteen days in Germany.
Hitler also proposed "automobileization of the whole people", so "Volkswagen" came into being. Nazi Germany even established pension schemes that made old age and poverty no longer synonymous. Someone has done a calculation that in the first three years of Hitler's rise to power, the country's economy achieved an annual growth rate of 100%.
During its first year in power, Hitler's government was arguably quite successful in both domestic and foreign affairs. Factories in the heavy industrial zone on the west bank of the Rhine were restored to normal operation, and Germany gradually got rid of its position as a defeated country and regained a large amount of sovereignty.
The word "Fuehrer" has been mistranslated as "Führer", a new title given to himself by Hitler, who was a head of state and head of government after the death of Hindenburg on August 2, 1934, in order to be close to the masses and not to appear too aristocratic as "president" or "president".
In the years since he took office, he has focused his main energy on internal construction and has not launched a large-scale foreign war. No one can deny that his government has performed really well economically: in 1933, 1934, 1935, in just three years, Hitler transformed Germany, which had previously had the highest deficit and unemployment rate in the world, into one of the world's top economic powers, and this was not at all achieved by foreign investment and aid.
But all this is only a foreshadowing for Hitler to launch a large-scale war of foreign aggression and dominate the world. How can a "war maniac" forget about war and always calm down to engage in economic work. Under Hitler's leadership, the Germans soon invaded Poland, and World War II broke out under Hitler's direction.
Crazy "Historical Sinners"
A series of victories in the early stages of the war made Hitler begin to lose his mind, even at the expense of making enemies of all of Europe and the world! Since then, Hitler has implemented a reign of terror at home and actively expanded externally. The Reign of Internal Terror began to massacre its own Jews, whom he saw as an enemy of Germany. These ideas became the strange theoretical basis for the subsequent massacre of millions of Jews in an attempt to exterminate the Jews.
When Hitler's Nazi legions ravaged all of Europe, Hitler was already quite overconfident, but in fact, Germany before World War II actually had no friends in Europe, and even Italy, which was later allied, was not actually the same as Germany. In fact, in the final analysis, Hitler's courage at that time, in addition to the confidence in his own talents, came from the powerful German tank corps, but the attack on the Soviet Union made a big mistake.
In fact, from the moment Hitler decided to launch a war against the Soviet Union, Germany would undoubtedly fall into the "quagmire of war". Hitler's erroneous prediction of the Soviet Union's strength that "with one kick, the soviet union's broken house will collapse" dragged the whole of Germany into the abyss of war. From the early morning of June 22, 1941, when the Soviet offensive, code-named Barbarossa, was launched, Nazi Germany was doomed to have no turning back.
As we all know, the reason why Germany lost the war in World War II was not because Germany's military strength was inferior to that of other countries, but because Germany had too many enemies in World War II! Ambition is too crazy then there must be a price to pay. Hitler offended not only the traditional established capitalist powers such as Britain and France, but also countries like the Soviet Union.
From the outbreak of the Soviet-German War to Hitler's suicide in 1945, Germany surrendered on May 8 of the same year! It took only four years for Hitler to evolve from a "German hero" to a "sinner of history." And all these consequences, in the end, all Germans pay! Hitler was perhaps a typical genius on the left and a madman on the right.
During his time in power, the situation in Germany did change considerably. However, the way he later dealt only with war was undoubtedly unacceptable to good people all over the world. In the eyes of germans after World War II, Hitler was definitely a historical sinner who could not be mentioned.
Hitler not only bore Germany with the name of killing Jews, but also the German people suffered reprisals and suffering from their opponents after the war, and the country was divided into East and West Germany, which was a shame for Germany. Hitler, as a historical sinner, took the initiative to launch a war maniac, and all this crime was of course borne by him.
