Adolf Hitler (German: Adolf Hitler) is a genius and a demon. A few days ago, April 20 was his birthday, which was also the last day of Aries in the zodiac.
On April 20, 1889, Hitler was born in a small inn named Pomer in Braunau, Austria-Hungary. He was the third child born in the third marriage of a customs officer in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. No one thought that this ordinary boy would become the head of a country after 44 years and would have an earth-shaking influence on the whole world.
Interestingly, the head of state was not Hitler's original ideal. He originally wanted to be a painter, full of literary and artistic style, which may be related to the last day he was born in Aries. However, what fate makes is that Hitler finally embarked on the path of no return of the great dictator.
01 Want to be a painter but not a civil servant
In 1895, his father sent Hitler, who was 6 years old, to a public school to study. His grades in elementary school were consistent. good. In 1900, Hitler was sent to Linz to go to middle school. My father always hoped that Hitler would inherit his father's career and become a civil servant.
However, civil servants are the last thing Hitler wants to do. His ideal is to be a painter. He had a dispute with his father and stopped studying hard in school. Therefore, Hitler transferred to Hitler State High School, which is quite far away from Linz, before graduating from Linz High School. He stayed there for a short time and left before graduation.
After the death of his parents, he came to Vienna, the palace of art in his heart alone, doing odd jobs or selling copying paintings, living a wandering life with only enough food and clothing, and sometimes even relying on the alms of porridge station. Despite the lack of material, the spiritual food is not left at all. He read a lot of political books and German-related history books, and he developed the idea of becoming a "politician" who changed the destiny of Germany.
is the difficult life of this period, which shaped Hitler's firm and paranoid character, and believed that the world and every part of it should be completely changed. In 1913, Hitler had no fixed occupation before moving to Munich, Germany, and became a fanatic of nationalism and antisemitismus.
02 entered the Nazi Party and gradually showed amazing talent
In August 1914, the First World War (Der Erste weltkrieg) broke out, Hitler volunteered to join the German Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment. Because of his bravery in the First World War, Hitler was awarded a medal and was briefly blinded by a mustard attack. While he was recovering from his injuries, Germany announced its surrender.
In 1919, Hitler contacted the "German Workers Party" as a special agent, but was invited to become the 96th member of the party by accident. Later, he used his social and speaking skills to continuously expand the influence of the Workers' Party. In 1920, he changed its name to the "National Socialist German Workers' Party", which was the Nazi Party.
In 1923, Hitler launched the "Beer Hall Riot" and was arrested and imprisoned. He wrote the book "My Struggle" in prison, advocating reactionary racial theory and advocating the use of force for the "dominant nation" of Germany. Living space", hate communism.
After he was released from prison in 1925, he set about rebuilding the Nazi Party. It coincided that Germany was deeply tortured by war reparations and inflation, and in 1929 a worldwide economic crisis broke out. Pauperization spread to the entire society. People collectively lost their sense of security, and a tendency to join the "community" became clearer.
Hitler said that the economic crisis was "government incompetence", and it was the result of the government's acceptance of the "Versailles Peace Treaty" and war reparations and the implementation of a "socialist" policy. It was the republic and previous governments that destroyed everything in Germany. He vigorously advocated the theory of government incompetence, denied socialism, promised milk and bread to the lost middle class, and thus had a large number of his own "believers."
3 Created the myth of the Nazi Party and officially moved to the altar
In September 1930, in the first German parliament election during this crisis, the Nazi Party won 18.3% of the votes and was in the parliament. The number of seats in the parliament skyrocketed from 12 to 107, making it the second largest party in Germany.
Two years later, Hitler obtained German citizenship and participated in the presidential election. After losing, he used the opportunity to obtain the most votes by the Nazi Party. With the help of big capitalists, landlords, and militarists, in 1933. May was appointed by Hindenburg as Chancellor of Germany.
The cabinet established after Hitler came to power is called the "national unity government". At this time Hitler was still unable to enjoy the power of dictatorship. He was subject to the restrictions of the president's power and the constraints of the cabinet partners in the cabinet. Obviously, such a position as prime minister cannot satisfy Hitler's appetite. Hitler's single-minded goal is to completely abolish parliamentary democracy and establish a fascist dictatorship.
After Hitler holds executive power, he must obtain legislative power to dictatorship. Therefore, less than two days after Hitler came to power, he decided to dissolve the parliament, re-election, and change the pattern of political power in the parliament. After the authorization law was passed, Hitler issued a decree to abolish the state assemblies and make the state governments fully obey the central government. In this way, Germany became a centralized country for the first time in history.
So far, "nationalism" has become the dominant ideology in Germany. Under the leadership of Hitler, radical anti-modernists have put forward the "violence theory" of taking space by using social Darwinian thinking. As a result, we embarked on a "violent modernization", and an anti-democratic and anti-traditional "brown" "radical" counter-revolution appeared, and it developed into a war that threatened all mankind and led to the destruction of life— -Second World War.
