Adolf Hitler

When And Where He Was Born

Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau, Austria, on April 20 1889. Adolf was

the son of Klara and Alois Hitler. He was very hostile towards his

father who was a minor customs officer on the Austro-German border,

and deeply attached to his housewife mother. Adolf's father Alois used

to beat on Adolf's half brother Alois Jr, but when Alois reached the

age of 14 and had had enough of the beating, he ran away from home

never to see his father again. This put Adolf next in line, and his

discontent father then beat him. Hitler was a good student in the

younger ranks of school gaining good grades with little effort.

Eventually the time came when he had to take the next step up and

choose which high school he wanted to attend. Hitler was very

interested in art and so he wanted to go to a classical school.

However, his father was eager for Adolf to follow in his footsteps as

a civil servant and sent him to the Technical high school in the city

of Linz in 1900. The city kids looked down upon Hitler, as he was only

a country kid, Hitler's work began to slump due to his unhappiness. He

did poorly in the first year getting kept back. Hitler hoped that if

his father saw how little progress he was making at the technical

school, that his father would allow him to go to a classical school,

but this didn't work as the thought of Hitler becoming an artist in

the eyes of his father were ridiculous. Hitler began his second year

in high school as the oldest boy in his class as he was held back for

the extra year. He had an advantage over the other boys and his grades

did improve, but he still failed mathematics. Ge...

in. Hitler had the right to use the courtroom as a propaganda platform

from which he could speak at any length on his own behalf, interrupt

others at any time and even cross examine witnesses. Hitler admitted

everything, however, put himself over as a German patriot wanting to

take over Germany to do the right thing and not give in against the

Treaty Of Versailles. Hitler accused the German politicians of being

the guilty party because they where the people who stabbed the whole

of Germany in the back by ending World War 1 and signing the Treaty Of

Versailles. Hitlers tactics did and didn't work at the same time. He

was found guilty however, where he could have had life imprisonment

for what he did, he only got a 5 year sentence and was eligible for

parole in 6 months.
