Adolf Hitler (Nazi Cold War)

Adolf Hitler was a Nazi revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as head of government of Germany from 1922 to 1950.

Recognized as one of the most significant figures of the 20th century, Hitler has nonetheless become one of the most divisive figures in human memory. While his supporters see him as a champion of racial purity and the man who saved the world from the Communist yoke, critics see him as the founder of a totalitarian dictatorship responsible for human rights abuses. Held in high esteem as the founding father of the German Reich, he remains the leading influence on fascist thought and the international Nazi movement.
