Adolf Hitler

“Heil Hitler” was the saying people would shout when they saw Hitler throughout the country of Germany. Throughout my year in school I've studied many different historical figures, but the one person that has a great influence and impact on world history on Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau Am Inn, Austria on April 20, 1889. He was a solider during the WWI and during combat he was exposed to dangerous gases which some say might have caused ill side effects. But that just lead him to be a leader, effective speaker, and a political dictator. First of all, Hitler became a leader in 1933. Hitler promised Germany that he will get rid of the Treaty of Versailles, so the Germans could have a better life; he gave the people hope. He believed in himself and in his cause. They did too. Hitler was able to rise to power in 1933 because of his ability to see the desires of the German people and manipulate them to do his will by offering them salvation. His powerful personality and brilliance as a speaker helped him as a leader. Furthermore, Hitler was a very persuasive speaker, and had the ‘intelligence’ to take over a people who were so desperate and in such a poor economic situation, that his words brainwashed them. His gift of talking and convincing the population at that time when they were a down- and- out country, gave him this incredible advantage over the people of Germany. People were starving, out of work, and what Hitler offered them was relief from the famine and poverty they were so brutally suffering from. It seems that this 'demon of a man' just seemed to open the door of opportunity when Germany was at its lowest. His strong and powerful voice and words of a brighter future for Germany clouded the most logical man's mind with thoughts of power and pure and deep nationalism. Lastly, was being a superior speaker lead Adolf Hitler to be a political

Encouragement. “He made them lots of vague promises and used simple catch phrases repeated over.” Hitler’s campaigning was very well structured, making all the people wait, while building up the tension. Hitler’s tone throughout his many speeches and rallies was very compelling and had people by the end of it wide eyed and screaming. He promised something to everyone employment,prosperity to the failed businessmen profits to the industry expansion to the army and deal harshly with the ‘enemies’ of Germany, whom he blamed for Germany’s defeat.
