The Book 'Hitler' is kind of a short Autobiography from Adolf Hitler. He was born in Austria in 1889. When he grew up, he was a poor guy, but as soon as the war started in 1914, he was pleased. But he didn't fight for Austria, he crossed the border and joined the German army. In the end of the war, they had rebelled, forced up the 'Kaiser' (Emperor) to leave the country and set up a new government, the Weimar Republic after the town where its parliament met. But it soon became very unpopular, many Germans blamed its leaders for signing the Versailles Treaty with Britain, France, Italy and the United States, because land had been taken because from Germany.That was the Reason, why Hitler went to Munich after the war and went into politics very soon. He started his own German Workers' Party, he spoke in beer-halls, he yelled at the people, and a lot of the people believed him. In 1920 this group joined with the National Socialist Workers' Party, better known as the Nazis. Its leader was Adolf Hitler. He started a revolution against the Weimar Republic, but after a small massaker his Party broken up, but this was not the end of the story. Some government ministers had liked his idea of the rebellion against the Weimar Republic, and that's why he was allowed to do as he liked again, and he became very known all over in Germany. But he gave up the idea of using force, he acted in a way the rich businessmen come over to his side. From a few thousand votes the Nazi votes swelled to a million, and so they became the leaders of the new government in Germany. That was the start of the most horrible time in Germany. In his years of being a chancellor, the Reichstag was on fire, he had to survive the 'night of the long knives' and he started to sent enemies of the Nazies to concentration camps, where over a few hundred thousand people came to death. Most of them were Jewish, because Hitler said, that he wanted to have a 'clean' Germany without any other people from other religions or countries. His biggest 'thing' he did was the Nazi-Soviet Pact, it made it certain that Germany would invade Poland. A few weeks after signing the Pact, Hitler declared war, but Germany lost the war. On a Monday morning, 30 April 1945, he used suicide for ending his life. He could not live with the fear he had after he lost the war.
I liked the book, but it was kind of brutal and there were a lot of pictures in it, which showed a lot of brutal details like the concentration camps, but also nice pictures from the elections. It's very easy written and there are not very much hard words, I understood it very easily.
