    A resounding boom echoed through the woods, as black smoke billowed from the open windows. Lieutenant Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg and his adjutant, Werner von Haeften, saw the explosion as they drove away from the Wolf’s Lair; they were sure that they had successfully killed the Führer. It was time to initiate Operation Valkyrie. As their car sped away from the compound, the smoke cleared from the room and two men emerged, leaning on one another. Their skin was blackened, hair singed, and clothing ripped to shreds. One of the men was Wilhelm Keitel, a Nazi general. The other, Adolf Hitler, the Führer himself, could be heard muttering, “What was that? I am alive, I am alive!” (The 20 July Bomb Plot). There were many German military officials involved in the coup d'état plot to assassinate Hitler. The 20th of July Plot was organized by disgruntled German military in 1944 in order to assassinate Hitler and attempt a coup, but it was unsuccessful, which prevented full implementation of Operation Valkyrie.…

    While Auschwitz-Birkenau was independent, two men controlled it. Similarly, SS Major Richard Baer was the last leader before the camp wasn't independent. Meanwhile, Auschwitz II consisted of ten sections of electrified barbed-wire fences, patrolled by SS guards and dogs (“The Auschwitz concentration camp complex”). In Elie Wiesel’s Night book, a description of Auschwitz-Birkenau was mentioned. “In front of us, those flames. In the air, the smell of burning flesh. It must have been around midnight. We had arrived in Birkenau. The beloved objects that we had carried with us from place to place were now left behind in the wagon and, with them, finally, our illusions. Every few yards, there stood an SS man, his machine gun trained on us. Hand in hand we followed the throng” (Wiesel 28-29). In addition, Elie has arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau with his family and sees all of the SS guards. As was previously stated, Auschwitz II consisted of different sections. “The camp included sections for women; men; a family camp for Roma (Gypsies) deported from Germany, Austria, and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia; and a family camp for Jewish families deported from the Theresienstadt ghetto” (“The Auschwitz concentration camp complex”). Those sections held the most prisoners out of the three camps (“The Auschwitz concentration camp complex”). Even though gas chambers and crematoria were used to kill those prisoners, Auschwitz-Birkenau stopped using gas chambers in the November of 1944 (“Auschwitz was the largest…

    Hitler is arguably the worst person to ever live on Earth because he created camps that killed millions of people and Jews. Hitler used manipulation to convince the world and Germany that the Jews were bad and evil. This shows that Hitler had such a great amount of power, that he manipulated almost the entire country of Germany and a part of the world that Jews were atrocious and that they should be eliminated from planet Earth. This also shows that Hitler used his power in a negative way by using manipulation to kill millions of innocent people. When Hitler used his power in a negative way, it had a negative impact on the world and especially the millions of people and Jews who lost their lives. In conclusion, Hitler used his power that he gained from Germany in a negative aspect that then affected millions of people, Germany, and even the world. He was able to gain power and then use that power he gained negatively through…
