Adolph+Hitler

Adolph Hitler
He had a troubled childhood, and his father was violent towards him, which could lead towards him being violent/bad/mean himself. He was often beaten (hit) by his father. He went to Vienna in 1903. His years there were characterized by melancholy, aimlessness, and racial hatred. He rose to power in Germany in the 1920's, and early 1930's, at a time of time of social, political, and economic upheaval,(violent disturubence/disorder). He led in a violent way and with lots of hatered. Adolf Hitler was a dictator.A top-down military command style for most purposes. He fooled everyone into believing his lies and basically brainwashed the entire country. Ludwig Wittgenstein was a jew, and it is said that Hitler had conflict between him and other Jewish students, but it is not proven. Cornish suggests that conflict between Hitler and some Jewish students, including Wittgenstein, was a critical moment in Hitler's formation as an anti-Semite, although there is no evidence for any such conflict.Hitler said he first became an anti-Semite(someone who hates and would persecute Jews) in Vienna, which had a large Jewish community, including Orthodox Jews who had fled the pogroms in Russia. There were rumors that Hitler was one-quarter Jewish and that his grandmother, Maria Schicklgruber, became pregnant while working as a servant in a Jewish household. Although these rumors were never confirmed, for Hitler they were reason enough to conceal his origins. Hitler made it illegal for German women to work in Jewish households. But according to a childhood friend, August Kubizek, Hitler was a "confirmed anti-Semite" before he left Linz, Austria. He often was a guest for dinner in a noble Jewish house, and he interacted well with Jewish merchants who tried to sell his paintings. Hitler said it was during this experience that he became convinced the purpose of his life was to "save Germany." Most historians think the decision was made in 1941, and some think it came as late as 1942.Communist-inspired insurrections(a refusal to accept authority) shook Germany while Hitler was recovering from his injuries. Some Jews were leaders of these abortive revolutions, and this inspired hatred of Jews as well as Communists.After the war, Hitler returns to Munich and begins to become involved in politics. He believes that Jews and Marxists are responsible for Germany's defeat. Probably from being with the Nazis, and in the war. People knew him and recongised him because they feared him. In those days, the states conferred citizenship, so this automatically made Hitler a citizen of Germany and thus eligible to run for president. He ran and became president, and people would know him from that. ** • Was Adolph Hitler an effective leader? How do we know this? ** No, because he killed lots of people and he was mean to them. He did not respect people, and people don't respect him. He does not show trust. (see next slide of powerpoint(leadershipskills)). He did not respect people, and people don't respect him. He does not show trust. People do not trust him. He does not lead in a kind way. However, he did show confidence. The regimental staff thought Hitler lacked leadership skills. Hitler received many awards, but he was not promoted out of front because they thought he didn't have leadership skills.
 * **Why and when did he turn bad/mean?**
 * How did he lead (what type of leadership)? **
 * ** Why did he dislike and capture Jews? **
 * ** How did Adolph Hitler become a recognised leader? **
 * ** Did Adolph Hitler demonstrate leadership skills? How do we know this? **

Don't be mean to people, and they will trust you. One person can kill millions of people and traumitize millions more. Also, the worst kind of dictator is the kind that can hypnotize and brainwash his country to do whatever he wants them to do. If you want to be a good leader, don't let power go to your head and kill everyone.
