He enrolled at the Royal School of Linz, is a problematic student performance and certainly not brilliant. Difficult to integrate, to study and have a harmonious relationship with students and professors. The result of this disastrous "process" school is that in a few years leaves the institution. She moved to Vienna looking to enter the Academy of Fine Arts, led by certain fanciful artistic tendencies (also attested by numerous panels). The Academy, however, rejects it for two consecutive years, generating considerable frustration within him, fueled by the fact that, not having a college degree, is unable to enroll in the Faculty of Architecture, can fall back to the noble failures in the Academy.
His psychological profile, thus, tend to be worrisome. They are dark years, marked by, among other episodes of homelessness and social isolation (not to mention the serious physical decay to which this style of life he was leading). He said it was running, ironically, in the Jewish ghettos as a ghost, dressed in a black coat and shapeless (given to him by a friend occasional jew) and extremely neglected appearance.
Over the years in Vienna, began to develop his hateful and obsessive anti-Semitism. To survive, he must resign himself to make the employee, while in his spare time discussing politics with friends and acquaintances, with a vehemence that often leaving stunned interlocutors. His speeches, often monologanti river and are marked by extreme decision, points of view without shades and glorification of violence as a solution to the problems that plague society.
In particular, fiercely denies the Bolshevik and Marxist theories, especially their rejection of bourgeois and capitalist values. The very mention of communism, the causes hysterics. A hate hate it when you add discovers that among the main proponents and popularizers of these ideas lies much of the Jewish intelligentsia. In his delirium, he begins to blame Jews for the sins most absurd. To be internationalists and materialists (ie against the supremacy of the national state), to enrich themselves at the expense of citizens of other religions, to undermine the supremacy of the German race in the Empire, etc..
In 1913 he decided to go to Monaco and in 1914, before the Council for revision in Salzburg, is reformed to poor health. When, on 1 August 1914, is the declaration of war, Hitler is not happy and even eager to participate in '"enterprise". World War I broke out then stands on the field earned numerous military awards. In 1918, however, Germany is defeated, and it throws him into despair. Shipwrecked that Empire and the victory, for which he had passionately fought for four years. It should be pointed to a greater understanding of the causes that lead Germany to unleash the next conflict and to understand to what extent he was able to catch the mood of his countrymen, that this sense of frustration and humiliation of the defeat was common all Germans of the time.
Then, again in Monaco (the year 1919), began his political activity in its true setting up the following year the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP). The early years were turbulent, so that following his activities stirrer is stopped. During his imprisonment he wrote "Mein Kampf" hideous poster of his ideology, stuffed with nationalism, racism, beliefs about the superiority of a supposed "Aryan race", hatred of Jews, Marxists and liberals. Released from prison after only 9 months, back to the leadership of the NSDAP. The Great Depression of 1929 allows you to Hitler and his movement to leverage the discontent of some sections of the population exacerbated by unemployment and social tensions. At the 1930 elections his party is increasingly more earning over a hundred seats in parliament. Meanwhile, Hitler made use of his Brown Shirts, a paramilitary organization itself, in street battles. The rise of Nazism began.
In 1932 Hitler loses the election for a few votes but the following year, the Nazi Party is already the largest party in Germany. Hitler's consolidation of power occurs with the destruction of the enemy inside and outside the party. As a first measure outlaws the Communist Party and arrested the main leaders, then dissolved all political parties except the NSDAP. In 1934, famous as the bloody and terrifying "Night of Long Knives" is eliminated by a massacre than a hundred Brownshirts, become uncomfortable and difficult to control. The following year he gets the absolute power proclaiming himself Führer (supreme leader of the Third Reich), and establishing a military control and repression of bureaucratic cruelty. At the head of this apparatus are the infamous SS which, together with the Gestapo (state police with full powers), established the system of concentration camps to eliminate opponents.
The persecution began to strike with a vengeance the Jews expelled en masse from their jobs and working with the anti-racist laws of 1935, deprived of German citizenship and later deported to extermination camps. In terms of foreign policy, the program included the union of all the Germanic tribes into one great nation with the task of colonizing Europe and destroy the communist systems. In light of this imperialist project, despite international agreements, Hitler began an arms race, while simultaneously tightening a Pact of Steel first with Mussolini and later with Japan.
In 1939 it annexed Austria with a coup still somewhat "political" (ie, with the consent of substantially the same Austrian), while France and England, almost stunned, still watching. With no inhibitions and a prey to a delusion of omnipotence, invades Poland, despite having signed a nonaggression pact shortly before then Czechoslovakia. At that point, the European powers, conscious of the enormous danger that was looming, finally declared war on Germany, but now well prepared for war, its real purpose and not at all hidden.
So bursts the so-called World War II. At first, among other things, paradoxically holds alliance with Stalin's Russia (the famous Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact), home of the hated Bolsheviks. In 1940 he invaded France and De Gaulle fled to England to organize the resistance, then North Africa. The advance of Germany at this point seems unstoppable. Only England, strengthened by a "friend" as natural as the English Channel, which has protected it so many times in the past, still stands, and indeed the first attempt to defeat an invasion by Hitler.
In 1941, a prey to its expansionist aims, and although he had entered into pacts with the Soviet Union decided to invade Russia. On the European front, Germany is also engaged in the difficult and exhausting war with England, a real tough cookie, but strangely neglects Hitler and overshadows this conflict. Initially then, the campaign of Russia seems favorable to him, and the victorious German advance, unstoppable. The Russian peasants, however, implement a defensive strategy of great intelligence, burning everything behind him pending the arrival of the great Russian winter, knowing that the latter is true, an important ally. Meanwhile, the U.S. unexpectedly entered the war in defense of the Russians. Germany is therefore to be attacked on two fronts, east and west by the Soviets by the Allies. In 1943 occurs the disastrous retreat from Russia, then the loss of African territories, then the Allies landed in Normandy and liberated France (1944). Japan was bombed with atomic weapons and forced to surrender in this way.
In 1945 the fire circle closes around Berlin. In 1945 Hitler was defeated and isolated in the Chancellery bunker where he still attempts a vigorous defense, commits suicide after marrying his mistress, Eva Braun (also committed suicide along with him), and wrote his last will. Their corpses, hastily burned after being sprinkled with petrol, will be discovered by Soviet troops.
