Hitler: Lure of the Dark Side
Adolf Hitler and Marcos Adolf Hitler and Ferdinand Marcos were the most distinguishable and known dictatorial leaders in their place. They both had a great impact on history. Adolf Hitler was the Chancellor of Germany and a leader of the Nazi Party from 1933 to 1945 and Marcos was the President of the Philippines from 1965 to 1986. They both used their position to gradually establish their dictatorship. Hitler was the initiator of World War II and for the execution of holocaust (the extermination and cleansing of European Jews and other non-Aryans) that resulted in millions of deaths. Marcos was the implementer of the Martial Law which have caused a huge amount of victims in his own country. They were both incredibly cruel and were willing to do what it took, no matter what the cost was - in money or human life - to succeed in their goal, and that is political mileage who eventually were loved by their followers but hated by the rest of the world. Both dictators were very compelling and able to command people but when it comes to influencing mass’s emotions, Hitler used emotions while Marcos used reason. However, both dictators applied lies and propagandas to upkeep their separate agenda.
Adolf Hitler and Lady Tremaine Lady Tremaine was conceivably a close analogy of Hitler. The evident parallel between the two is that they both had hated other by reason of envy. Lady Tremaine was the stepmother of Cinderella who holds a great hatred towards her stepdaughter simply because she was envious of her beauty, youth and wholesome charm and Adolf Hitler was anti-semitic (hater of Jews) who was believed jealous of the prosperity of Jews enjoyed in Germany. The two were both in the position and had the power to oppress but maintain a sham benevolence in their authority. Lady Tremaine who had the authority as a stepmother, hampered and abused Cinderella until she became a maid in her own home but never physically harmed her. Adolf Hitler on the other hand, as the leader

    Machiavelli and Adolf Hitler are both names synonymous with evil: killing without reason, fear tactics, cruelty. “Adolf Hitler, according to his own word, kept The Prince by his bedside, where it served as a constant source of inspiration…” (Downs 201). Machiavelli’s work is known as a guide to holding absolute power; Hitler took The Prince’s advice, but the extent is up for debate. They shared basic mutual principles, but certain technicalities are different. Hitler took a great amount of inspiration from Machiavelli and applied them to his rule, but he did things that Machiavelli condemned in The Prince, such as the instability that resulted from his rule.…

    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.…

    We are living in a time of violence and hatred toward other races instead of taking the time to learn about the uniqueness and diversity of their cultures. Political greed of some of our modern leaders has taken priority over helping their nations people and economies. What could possibly have influenced us so greatly as to generate this anger and hostility amongst our own kind? Are we willing to cause the suffering of others to establish our own nations supremacy? When did we stop caring who or how our governments are run? Do we even care what is happening in the broken world around us or are we too focused on our own greed? Adolf Hitler convinced a whole nation that his intentions were good. Consider where that led Germany. Our world is not…

    Hitler was a gifted orator who captivated many with his beating of the lectern and growling, emotional speech .One of the tactics used by Hitler was inspirational tactics. Hitler often praised Christian heritage, German Christian culture, and professed a belief in Jesus Christ. In his speeches and publications Hitler spoke of Christianity as a central motivation for his anti-Semitism. In Hitler's conception Jews were enemies of all civilization. So, in his public speeches, he influences others emotionally by stating that Jesus is a fighter against the Jews. He became adept at telling people what they wanted to hear for example, the Jewish-Marxist plot to conquer the world, and the betrayal of Germany in the Versailles treaty. By the reason of hatred on Jews, Hitler had killed thousands of Jews throughout his ruling.…

    Hitler and Jonas wanted to create a powerful Nazi Party by making sure that those who were members devoted themselves fully and, in their opinion, were the best fit to lead/be a part of the nation. In order to be a member, there must be German or kindred blood, running through their veins, with the ability to prove German ancestry. The member must be willing and able to serve Germany and the Nazi Party to their full capability and devotion.

    Adolf Hitler is another example of how man is evil. For example in Hitler's early stages “Hitler engineered the passage of the enabling act, which gave his cabinet full legislative powers for a period of four years.”(biography.com) With this quote it is seen hitler had used his position of power so his followers can gain entry to aid him in his evil acts to attack the jews and cause terror. Hitler then had, “Military opposition was punished Adolfs political enemies were rounded up and shot.” (biography.com).

    The first similarity that comes in mind when talking about these two infamous leaders is their troubled childhood. Both of them were known to have suffered losses that affected them negatively and caused them to be corrupted. Lord Voldemort was the son of the witch Merope Gaunt and muggle (a non wizard) Tom Riddle, whom Merope ensnared with a love potion. When her husband discovers she was a witch, he abandons her while she is pregnant. Instead of choosing to live for her son, “[she] chose death in spite of a son who needed her” and Tom 's mother died shortly after giving birth to him on December 31st, living just long enough to christen him with the ordinary name, Tom Riddle (Rowling 262). Just like Lord Voldemort, Hitler also had a childhood burdened with abandonment and heavy losses.…
