Adolf Hitler Many issues affect a person on who they become whether it is the environment or even inner conflict. Adolf Hitler was no exception; he was born on the year 1889 and died on 1945, an era that was stressful. The death of his beloved family members, his difficult childhood, and the chances he took looking for he was to become in life, affected Adolf Hitler immensely. Alois Hitler and Klara Hitler had a total of 6 children, only 2 out of the 6 survived: Adolf Hitler and Paula Hitler. Adolf Hitler’s 4 siblings and his father died, but Adolf Hitler started becoming depressed when one of his brother’s had died, this was the turning point of his life. Adolf Hitler went from a religious schoolchild to a high school dropout. One of the reasons he had dropped out was to show his father that he did not belong in school he wanted to become an artist. Another reason was because Hitler was simply not academically educated, school was not for him. The only one who was there to support Hitler’s decision was his mother, Klara, which later died and Hitler became an orphan. Hitler’s greatest admiration was his mother, and now that she was gone he had no one he felt like he had lost all hope. After Hitler’s mother passed away, he roamed the streets and was poor he had no money at all. Hitler would live off of soup kitchens or sell some of his artwork. At this point Hitler wanted to continue being what he always wanted to be, an artist. Unfortunately, he wasn’t very successful at this. Hitler knew that he had to move on if he wanted his future to look bright. Moving on was difficult for Hitler because he had no one there to support him or encourage to do what he wanted to. The irony of Hitler is that Jews were one of the few people who impacted his life the most in a positive way. In fact, if it weren’t for Jews he probably would have been dead because they sheltered, clothed, and supplied Hitler with food. Adolf

    As a boy, Adolf was a good student up until high school which upset his father. He did not work, and spent most of his days reading books and drawing pictures. Hitler wanted to be an art student, but he failed the entrance exam of the Academy of Fine Arts twice. He sometimes sold his drawings and paintings to consider himself an artist. Hitler desired to be in the army, but when the Austrian Army called him in for a physical examination, he was found unfit for service. “(Jack was) tall, thin, and bony… his hair was red beneath the black cap. His face was… freckled, and ugly without silliness” (Golding 18). He later went on to serve in the German army as a messenger on the western front. Hitler’s obsession with the army became so intense he even organized a private army called Storm Troopers. Their uniforms were brown with swastika emblems to give a sense of unity and power. In similarity to Hitler’s army, Jacks tribe wore their face paintings to feel as one. Not only was Hitler involved in the army, but he concerned himself with political observations. He looked up to the Social Democratic Worker’s Party in Vienna. He thought no form of government could last if it treated separate nationalities differently. When Hitler was imprisoned, he wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle in German) in which he stated his beliefs - one being that Germans represented a superior form of…

    To begin with, Hitler had an inferior background with Jews. His mother, Klara Hitler, passed away at the age of 47 from breast cancer. The doctor that was providing his mother medication and treatment was a Jewish man named Eduard Bloch. Hitler had a close relationship with his mother, so when she perished, Hitler’s gratitude to her Jewish doctor was nothing but hatred and disgust. Hitler later on developed a love of art and painting. He “auditioned” to get into a Jewish painting academy, but was rejected by the headmasters, since he had no skills or talent at all. Hitler became furious for losing the two items he loved, so when he came to power, it was automatically easy to blame the Jews for all the events that were occurring to them. Hitler blamed the Jews for the Austrian Crisis, the defeat of the German Army by the Russians in 1918, and considered them responsible for imperial Germany’s downfall and subsequent economic crisis (“ What Did Hitler Blame On The Jewish People”)(“Why Did Hitler Blame the Death Of His Mom On A Jewish Doctor”).…

    Hitler’s childhood experiences led to his later on in life obsessions and phobias that were to consume his thinking. Waite is able to find the facts about his childhood to help explain how Hitler’s mind became warped into his way of thinking. Hitler’s childhood was full of death and, abandonment and bad habits. These experiences help explain why he became a vegetarian, his fascination with death and suicide as well as his phobia of being alone. All of these personality triats he became known for were due to his childhood experiences and lifestyle. In my opinion, Hitler’s psychological traits were due to his past. While a boy in Vienna, he was mocked and riduculed. As a child he was strickened with the death of his mother. These types of experiences can create major personality malfunctions later in…

    He got rejected. Hitler felt like everything he hoped and dreamed for got crushed before his eyes. He decided to join the Army, I suspect he did this because he had no other choice. When Hitler went to ww1 and got temporarily blinded from a poisonous gas attack. They think it somehow went to his brain and caused him to become psychotic. Hitler lost a lot of money, fighting his way to survive. He got some help by finding and staying in a homeless shelter in 1909. Once he got enough money he moved into a very poor house with many poor men. I think all of this could of made him emotionally and maybe even physically unstable and shows how someone's childhood and dreams that have not been fulfilled can “break” someone.…

    Throughout Adolf Hitler’s life, he developed many different goals and ideas, which later grew and made who he came to be. Hitler began his life wanting to become an artist, however, that didn’t get him anywhere. Many theorist people believed Hitler grew up in an anti-semantic home. Everything Hitler attempted to accomplish didn’t occur and therefore held the Jews responsible. For example, when Hitler failed to be accepted in The Vienna School of Art, he blamed that on the population of the Jews. Thus, volunteering for service in the German army and learning all that was needed to know about politics and important…

Alois was a customs official who was know to be dishonest from birth that was described by his housemaid as a "very strict but comfortable" man.
