Adolf Hitler was born in 1889, to an Austrian couple in Austria. His father Alois Hitler worked in customs for the Austrian government. His mother Klara Polzl was a stay at home mom. As a young toddler they moved to Passau, Germany where he developed the speech inflection he was known for. When he was young he found one of his fathers’ book on war and became obsessed with it. They moved back to Austria, which caused Adolf to have confrontation with his father. Alois Hitler tried everything to convince his son to follow his footsteps in to government but he didn’t want too. In “Mein Kampf” Adolf wrote “All the attempts to arouse my interest or my liking for such a carrier by stories of my father had the opposite effect” (Hitler, 1939 pg. 12-13). He was infatuated with German Nationalism, at a young age, as a way to rebel against his father who proudly worked for the Austrian government. Back in Austria he didn’t want to conform to strict rules of his new school and was in trouble with teachers and his father often. His father failed to make a farmers’ living so they had to moved again, this time too Lambach, Austria. Adolf attended a catholic school there that had a swastika on its wall; Adolf would use this symbol later on.

- Adolf Hitleranalytical essayAdolf Hitler was born April 20, 1889. Adolf lived with his family on a small farm outside of Linz, Austria. His mother’s name was Klara. Hitler became very attached to her in his childhood. Alois was the name of his father. His father was in the Austrian Civil Service. Alois was used to giving orders so he demanded a lot of chores around the farm for the children. When Hitler was seven, the family moved off the farm to Lambach, Austria. To Hitler this meant fewer chores and more time for play. There Hitler went to an old Catholic Benedictine Monastery School. He took part in boy’s choir and also did very well at this school. He thought very highly of the priest and considered to be one for a while. At age nine he was caught smoking a cigarette by a priest. He was forgiven and not punished. His brother, Alois, Jr., described Hitler as quick to anger. He loved to play Cowboys and Indians when he was young. This gave way to battle re-enactments. Adolf’s little brother, Edmund, died at the age of 6 from the measles. This was the first time Hitler had to confront a real death instead of the fake ones he sees when he was playing. This seemed to shake him up badly. His little brother was buried in a cemetery right outside of Hitler’s room. He developed a dream to be an artist before he entered secondary school (1).
