He military talents he won most part of Europe and extended the French influence to Asia and Africa.

Adolf Hitler 1889-1945

Hitler, as the dictator of the 3rd German Reich, conquered as many large parts of the Africa, Asia and Europe that there is no other example in History. During this action he started the 2nd world war in which about 35 million people died.

Hitler's Youth

Hitler was born on 20 April 1889 in Austria at “Braunua am Inn”. His father was a German descent Customs Clerk. He failed in High School and spent his youth as a laborer and a street artist. After so many failures he went to his fatherland Germany in a hope that it might do some good.

In 1914 he joined 16th Bavarian Infantry regiment as and served on the western front in the 1st world war. He was a pedestal message giver in infantry. Though he got injured at one occasion and once fell a prey to a Gas attack and won a prize for bravery on 4 occasions but he could not get beyond the post of a corporal.
At the end of the war he went back home and joined German workers Party. By the next April he became the President of the party. He lengthened the party and changed its name to National socialist German Workers Party (NAZI). The membership of the party grew larger due to his oratory and organizational abilities. Then he captured Bavaria but he was captured by the local authorities on 8-9 November 1923 after suppressing the rebellion. Bavarian government prosecuted him for rebellion and sentenced him a 9 month prison though he was freed in a public pardon. During his imprisonment he wrote “My Struggle”, in which he presented the formal structure for the NAZI philosophy and gave a road map for the future expansion plans. By 1927 he got the NAZI party to regain its lost reputation. In 1932’s elections made the NAZI party the empowered authority of the Reichstag.

Nazi Party's Flag

After coming to power he used the 1st world war in such a useful way that it provided him with a strong army and the economy of the country progressed.
He had a vast knowledge of war strategies. He organized Panzer Corpse and provided funds for making new weapons. He realized the concept of Blitzkrieg (the fast war) and ordered for the establishment of an Air-force and a Navy.

Hitler and Goiring

In 1936 he captured Rhineland and after 2 years he also got Austria, student-land and Czechoslovakia. It was after his attack on Poland that France and Great Britain started war against Germany. In 1940 Hitler captured Scandinavia, Belgium, Netherlands and France. By the next year he got Greece and Yugoslavia.

Hitler in Paris

By 1941 he had got unbelievable victories but then he made a fetal blunder by attacking Soviet Union against a non-aggression pact. It was then, when after Pearl Harbor Hitler declared war against America.
Hitler was going great guns but the German armies were defeated by the Russian Winter in the outskirts of Moscow. Hitler dismissed his senior Generals and refused the chances of defeat and a also refused to retreat. During these crunch times the famous battles of Stalingrad and Leningrad were fought.

During this time when his army was deteriorating he vowed that he and Germany will fight for 5 hours after the midnight and they really did this. But at last the Russian army got him surrounded in his Berlin Command Bunker. On 30th April, 1945 he committed suicide. After 7 days the world war ended with about 35 million people dead or wounded.

His amazing victories in the 2nd world war earned him a name in the Warrior’s Hall of Fame.
