“To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens”. These were the lines by the world-famous dictator – Adolf Hitler. This person was one of the reasons behind the Second World War. He was a dictator, an extremist, a soldier, a painter, an author, and a politician. Since so many years he has been a subject of so many movies, books, documentaries, and TV shows.
Hitler was naughty and aggressive since childhood. He constantly fought with his schoolmates and was always a headache for the teachers there. He was very stubborn and would not listen to them. His father was fed up of such activities and as a result, used to beat him and scold him a lot. Like a common movie story, his father was strict and wanted Hitler to be studious. When he was beaten his mother Klara used to protect and caress him. This Father-Son conflict increased to an extent where Hitler started hating his father. Though he used to love his mother and would obey her.
Hitler is said to have a keen interest in painting and arts since childhood. During class lectures, he was found daydreaming and drawing. Later his father sent him Linz to study out there but Hitler intentionally brought poor grades hoping that one day his father would allow him to drop out of the school. But his father’s died in 1903 and then after finishing his secondary education, his mother allowed him to join Academy of Fine Arts and make his career but he failed twice to even get entry there. In 1907, his doting mother lost to Breast Cancer and died. Hitler then suffered from loneliness and started living the solitary life of a bohemian style. He had to struggle a lot to earn a living and get daily bread to eat. Pain, anger, and struggle transformed him into an aggressive & rigorous person.
Earlier, he had- big, hanging kind of mustache but as in army it was not allowed to keep mustache, he trimmed it short. It was one of the most important characteristics of his face and made him look so different from.
It is difficult to comment on his religious views. He neither completely followed Christianity nor Judaism. But with this, we cannot conclude that he was an atheist as he believed in the general principles of the religion discarding the dogmatic and useless doctrines of religion. He considered Christianity as a religion of inferiors but as his mother was a Christian, he visited church earlier. He was not against Judaism but later Holocaust proved his disapproval for the religion and his hatred for them.
Hitler used to wake up at 11 every day and used to stay awake till late nights. He ordered his people to work until he was awake.
Hitler was a vegetarian !! He wanted to become a superior Aryan as per the views of the Nazi Party and asked Eva Braun also to do so but she refused to do so. At the time of marriage also he had his Veg Cook present.
Hitler used to be high on drugs including cocaine, morphine, etc. He did not smoke but used to drink.
His hands used to shake badly. Some people say it was due to Parkinson’s disease. He tried to hold his hands to avoid this often and was a bit embarrassed about it.
You won’t believe it but Hitler is said to have injected himself with Bull’s semen to increase his sexual drive!
In his time one of the biggest genocide took place and Nazi Party captured Jews from their houses-all were brutally executed-not even children were spared. He never visited any concentration camp.
He feared death and hence kept tasters to eat his food and confirm that the food is not poisoned.
Just 48 hours before doing suicide he married Eva Braun in a private, simple marriage.
Lastly, he went inside a room in his bunker and killed himself by shooting on the head getting an instant death. His wife also ate cyanide and did suicide. His pet dog was also killed with poison and her 6 puppies were shot dead. Later all the dead bodies were burnt and buried.
