Adolf Hitler (Der Führer ist Tot)

Adolf Hitler (1889-1918) was an Austrian-born German soldier who was killed in the First World War. He was an unsuccessful artist living in Munich who was rejected by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna twice. Having stayed in Vienna when the antisemitic mayor Karl Lueger was in office, Hitler was believed to be an antisemite himself. He joined the army at the outbreak of the First World War and was eventually killed outside the village of Marcoing in the fall of 1918.
