2. The German Army
Adolf Hitler was ready to serve the country he believed
in when the World War I started. That Country was
Germany.
Hitler was put in the position of dispatch runner. He was
very ambitious and always volunteered first for the
dangerous missions.
He was promoted to corporal but stopped at that
ranking, because of his odd personality and inexperience
in leadership.
They thought if he became in charge his soldiers
wouldn’t respect him.
Hitler was given the iron Cross for his achievements andARISE ROBY
5. Early Political Life
Hitler was a great speaker, he used his words to get so
many people to believe in him. This is also how he got
into politics.
The party he first got into was the National Socialist
party, he was the speaker of the party. After Adolf
realized he was the reason behind the growth of the
party he challenged Drexler, the leader of the party, for
leadership.
After a little hesitation Drexler gave up the position for
the sake of his political party.
Hitler gained power over the Nazi party in 1921,
after that people started flowing in because of his
speeches.

8. Mein Kampf
While Hitler was sent to jail because of treason he had
time to write a book, that book was called Mein Kampf.
The book was all about the races and how they were
racially ranked. At the top of the list was the Aryan’s,
they had fair skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. At the
bottom of this list was the Jews, Czechs, Poles, and
Russians.
This book contributed a lot to the popularity of Hitler and
the Nazi party.
When Hitler became Chancellor of Germany Millions of
copies were sold.

11. Nazi Party at it’s Peak
Adolf Hitler was sworn in the Chancellery on January 30th, 1933.
Hitler wanted to do away with the German democracy and form a
more dictatorship Government.
Hitler had a plan to get a bill signed that gave him all the power.
This included making new laws and control the budget.
When Adolf got this passed the Government in Germany had turned
to a dictatorship. Hitler had achieved what he had been working on
for years.
He could now do whatever he pleased like making laws against
Jews, and that was just the beginning of it.

14. World War II
The first stage of World War II was to use the German
Blitzkrieg tactics. This was to have sudden shocks
against enemies airfields, military installations, and
communications.
They would do this using fast mobile armory, then follow
up with infantry after bombings and using fighter
airplanes. In using these tactics Hitler took over Poland
in one month.
After that it was France, Belgium, Holland, and
Luxembourg in six weeks. Then He captured Denmark
and Norway in two months.
After Hitler did all this only Great Britain was standing
strong. When Hitler tried to attack Soviet Russia they
were beaten, Hitler was stunned at his lost.

17. The Death Marches
As the Soviet Union got closer on ending the war, Hitler
frantically set up death marches so he could kill as many
Jews as he could.
They would walk the already frail and weak people for
miles every day. If they fell down or were to weak they
were shot dead.
They walked the Jews all the way to the Baltic Sea and if
they were still alive then they were shot in the sea.
Hitler wanted to rid the world of as many lesser people
as he could, thus he started the death camps.
This shows how passionate his hatred for people like
Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, and many others.ARISE ROBY
19. The Fall of Hitler
When Hitler heard that the Russians were coming to Germany he
fled to his bunker in the spring of 1945.
His bunker was in Berlin Germany, there he spent the remainder of
his days. It’s also the place where he spent his 56th birthday.
When Hitler heard news of the war being over, he told everyone
that the third Reich had failed. Hitler knew what he had to do, he
had to commit suicide.
On April 30th, 1945 Adolf and his wife Eva said there last goodbyes
to everyone left in the bunker. Then they went into their quarters,
Hitler shot himself and his wife bit into a coincide capsule.
There bodies were hurriedly taken up to the garden and burned so
the Russians couldn’t take his body. That was crucially important to
Hitler.

22. Afterwards
All of Hitler’s main followers had only one plan in there
heads and that was to stall signing a treaty with the
Russians.
They did this so they could get as many soldiers as they
could away from the Russians so they could escape. It
didn’t work out as they planned, the Russians caught on
and demanded they sign it.
When the Jews were free the first thing they did was try
to locate family members that had been lost.
When it came to all the surviving Nazi members they
were hunted down and put into custody.
