Hitler's early life:

Hitler has been a bully when he is young. At first, he had good grades, but later, he was turned down by his father, so he turned bad and lost his interest to learn and did naughty things for fun. Picture from link: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/13/WittRealschuleCrop.jpg Why this picture: I chosed this picture because it showed that hitler had no interest in his peers. This shows he is bossy, mean and unfriendly. This is important because he had shown these traits in all his life. It started when he is young and did not change. This must be the reason why he was the only one in the picture who is being serious. Most teachers said he was bossy and always wanted his own way, so this picture already shown most of his traits. Notice that no one in the same row is smiling? That is probrobly because he had not been nice to people. If he had been nice to people, he would be supported by his dad, and wouldn't get told off. And also, his classmates and teachers all say that he was lazy and dosn't want to work in the hard way, so maybe yhat's why he chosed to be something he is good at instead of an painter. This might be the reason why he became a soldier.

I think this source is important to know because this shows the a crossroad for Hitler: Go for his dreams? Or go for the easy way of being a soldier. If he didn't become a soldier, there might not be a WWII and the neuclear bomb used to stop the Nazi wouldn't be needed. But if Hitler became a soldier, that would be one step to being closer to politics.

Hitler as a Politician: As hitler left the army, he joined a worker's party and started to become famous. He gave speaches around Germany and joined the election. He was a very good speaker. Chart from link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler Why this source: Everyone knows Hitler is a good speaker, but few could proof without seeing him in person. But people made a chart on the votes he recieved. With this chart, you can see that he got more and more votes. When he is free, he got more votes, that's because he was alowed to speak. This is also because the people are upset that the republic couldn't change their lives and they made no say on the Treaty of Versailles, which the german people hated very much. When hitler spoke up against it, people liked what they hear, so they voted for him. As an evidance, look at the chart. After his release, he was starting to get votes. This shows he is a very good speaker. He could easly tell people to listen to what he say. Hitler got a private army(storm troopers) very easy because he had the same views and hopes as it's leader. These storm troopers are ex soldiers who fought alongside Hitler and heard his speaches during the war, so there is no doubt that he gained supports and votes from all over germany with stormtroopers beating out his enemies.

I think this source is important for us to know is that Hitler had been a very good speaker, but he used it in a mean way. He could had just asked the winning countries to donate food and give help for their situation instead of ordering people to kill jews. He could have used his powerful voice to get help for Germany.

Nazi Popularaty: Hitler was a very cunning man. He made ways to make himself popular in both natural and artifical ways. He pestered the crowds to join him with his speach and beat up his opponents brutally with his new army-The Storm Troopers. Picture from link: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/06/1930-election.jpg Why this picture: I think this picture is very important if you could understand it. It's main sole purpose is to gain support the working classes and the poor. It's Translation is: We demand our freedom, work and food. He got them to vote for him because he made them believe he will make a change. Even after he ruled Germany, he was still popular. He made himself popular by providing work, food and larger army. Whith this poster, you can see that the there are a NAZI symbol and lots of "!"s. If you had seen the reaction of a NAZI march, you could see people raising their arm frantically and each one of them wanted to hold part of Hitler, because he fulfilled his promises, making himself popular and making others willing to do his bidding. That's why people were willing to rush into battle or threw rocks at non-supporters.

I think this source is important for us to know is because he know directly what the German people needed because he saw the starving and the begging very common in the streets, that means if he offer work for the unemployed, bread for the starving, money for the poor, he would gain the full loyalty of the German people. This proof he is a very good organizer.

Nazi Germany: Hitler won the Election. Now dictatorship rulls Germany, he made his army bigger and started to take over Europe. Picture from link: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/Nazi_Germany.png Why this picture: As you can see: As Hitler rised to power, he expanded his land because he either taken over or was friendly with those countries. Hitler couldn't achieve that without the support of the German people and the army. This means things went better after Hitler ruled Germany, He did as he promised: Expand germany, build a new army to expand Germany. Most Germans had the same views as Hitler and wanted a strong Germany, as shown in this map, Germany grown twice it's size and border. He must have already mobilized an army that is REALY, REALY big to take over the rest of Europe. That is one stept to take over the world. No wonder WWII started-Because Hitler is breaking all the rules of the Treaty of Versailles about rising an army and marching into Austria.

I think this source is important to know because this proofs Hitler is already having plans to take over Europe and have revenge on the people he hate. People predicted that if he wasn't stopped by anything, he would have taken over the world. Life would be very hard then, with all the killing and racist ideas that Hitler introduced.
