Adolf Hitler (Deutschland Siegt)

Adolf Hitler (born April 20, 1889, Died June 7th, 1970) was a German politician, who became the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) and was appointed as the Chancellor of Germany in 1933. After the death of President Paul von Hindenburg in 1934, Hitler declared himself Führer, combining the offices of Reichsprezident and Reichskanzler into one using the power vested in him by the Enabling Act, and he remained a totalitarian ruler until his death.

The Nazi Party gained power during Germany's period of crisis after World War I, exploiting effective propaganda and Hitler's charismatic oratory to gain popularity. The Party emphasised nationalism and antisemitism as its primary political expressions, eventually resorting to murdering its opponents to ensure success.

After the restructuring of the state economy and the rearmament of the German armed forces (Wehrmacht), a dictatorship (commonly characterized as either totalitarian or fascist) was established by Hitler, who then pursued an aggressive foreign policy, with the goal of seizing Lebensraum and uniting all German people under one rule. This resulted in the German Invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1938, triggering World War II.

Following the victory over Czechoslovakia on March 15 1939, Nazi Germany annexed the territories of Bohemia and Moravia. Despite relatively heavy casualties, he had managed to unite the German people to fight for a common cause, and the German armed forces had received valuable lessions and combat experience, which helped them defeat both Poland and the West within the next year. this Experience also aided the troops during the war in the Soviet Union in 1942.

Biography
Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 at Braunau am Inn, Austria (then Austria-Hungary), as the fourth child of six. His father, Alois Hitler, (1837–1903), was a customs official. His mother, Klara Pölzl, (1860–1907), was Alois' third wife. She was also his half-niece, so a papal dispensation had to be obtained for the marriage. Of Alois and Klara's six children, only Adolf and his sister Paula reached adulthood.
