    The second World war is understood as having been started and ended in various fashions. We know this to be true as there is copious amounts of literature analyzing, explaining, investigating, and theorizing "the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich", or as some may prefer , " The Fall and Rise of the 3rd Reich". From these books and works produced on the subject matter, an underlying fundamental truth has been scribed for all to accept at the true story of WWII--or more accurately the allied version of WWII. The general public around the world has some knowledge of the story of Hitler and the Nazi's campaign ending with an Allied victory. With this undeniable knowledge granted to us by hindsight understanding the allied victory is often seen as inevitable. The supporting justification for the Allied victory is the notion…

    Shortly after the end of WWII, British Intelligence officer Hugh Trevor-Roper was given the task to establish the facts of Hitler's end, and thereby to prevent the growth of a myth. His report, later published as “The Last Days of Hitler”, draws on Allied intelligence's interrogations of survivors who spent time in the bunker during the last ten days of Hitler's life. Trevor-Roper organizes his book chronologically, but it's more a series of character sketches than a strict time line of events. We see a raving, physically broken, nearly insane Hitler contemplating both his heroic death and the complete and intentional destruction of his Reich, while his "flatulent clowns" (as Trevor-Roper calls them), even at this late date scramble to betray their leader, and one another, in their quest for power. Remarkably, each of these "flatulent clowns" considers himself entirely fit to govern a new Germany and expects to retain power after surrendering to the Allies. But his report- cutting, detailed, and well supported- effectively stifles any thought of a popular revival of Nazism.…

    1. This statement is quite accurate in many ways. This time in history, where Hitler was gaining power he could be related to a child. The reasons he can be consider a child, because he is like a kid who is pushing his limits. Great Britain's and France's appeasement only makes it worse. When a child breaks a rule and they are punished to keep them from doing it again. With Hitler, he kept breaking treaties and known one would do anything, so he kept pushing his limits. Eventually someone decides to do something and it was too late and Hitler had rebuilt German. A main example to this statement is when Hitler declares that Germany will not follow the treaty of Versailles. He then begins to build up Germany’s army again with no one trying to stop him.(p.860). Hitler continued these types of actions all the way up to World War 2.…

    Adolf Hitler’s quest for totalitarian power over the whole world set in motion conquests that led to the Second World War, the effects of which are present to this day. Using the insult of Treaty of Versailles on Germany, the chaotic political system in Germany and the economic depression as a stepping stone, Hitler became the ultimate dictator of Germany. His greed for world domination also caused his defeat, forcing him to kill himself before the brink of defeat in the Second World War. Hitler, the ruthless dictator of Germany, began his rise to power during the period after the end of the First World War. It began with the rise of the Nazi Party, which was founded in March 1921, and whose symbol was a swastika.…

    Germany was in an exceedingly unpleasant state after the WW1. The Treaty of Versailles meant the people had to take full blame for the war. Reparations were even harder to pay since Germany was in the midst of one of the worst depression the world has ever seen at the time. Not to mention a brand new government, one that had nothing to do with the signing of this treaty, had taken over power. All of the people of this once superpower of a country was in a state of perplexity because they had lost a war at had been fought entirely on enemy soil. Germany was searching for an answer to its insurmountable problems, and found that answer in a Nazi named Adolf Hider.…
