who was Adolf Hitler?

Adolf Hitler was the Fuhrer, also known as leader, of Nazi Germany, the instigator of WWII, and the man behind the Final solution or as we know it as the Holocaust. Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, in Austria, on April 20, 1889 to the parents of Alois and Klara Hitler. Hitlers father was a very brute man who often beat Adolf. When Adolf was only ten years old he ran away. His father beat him so bad that Alois put Adolf in a coma. Hitler did well in school at the beginning, but his marks got progressively worse as got older. His father died when Adolf was only fourteen years of age, and his mother when he was eighteen. Adolf was a somewhat good and talented artist. after living by himself for two years following the death of his parents he tried twice to enter the Academy for Art in Vienna, but was rejected both times. He moved to Munich, located in Germany in 1913, and was still there when World War I broke out in August 1914. following WWI Hitler enlisted in the German army and saw four years of front-line service during which he was wounded several times and honored for bravery twice. During this time, he served as an intelligence agent for the military authorities, in the course of which he attended a meeting of the Tiny German Workers Party in 1919. He later joined the party, became its leader and changed its name to the National Socialist German Workers Party, later called the Nazi Party. In 1920, the 25 Points of the Nazi Party were proclaimed, one of which called for the removal of the Jews from German society. I found this video on Adolf Hitler. (Biography)
