Hitler’s childhood Adolf Hitler was born on April the 20th in 1889, at an Austrian town near the German border by the name of Braunau. He was actually an ilegitimate child of Maria Anna and Alois. Alois is already 51 when Adolf Hitler was born, and he was very strict and brutal. He has been known to show his brutality at Hitler although his reasons were to make sure Adolf Hitler did not become like Alois’ previous son, who was in jail for theft. Alois himself was a somewhat respected Civil Servant.

Source: http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/adolf-hitler.htm This webpage was useful as it recorded Hitler’s childhood. The webpage also has quotes from different locations and authors. It may be short, but it gives good information you can rely on. However, it is rather short and may not contain the content or item you are searching for, like Hitler coming to power in Germany. Overall, it is a good place to learn so long as you know where to search.

Hitler’s rather early Politics From December 1918 to March 1919 Adolf Hitler worked at a prisoner-of-war camp at Traunstein before returning to Munich. Shortly after his return he witnessed a takeover bid by local Communists who tried to seize power before being stopped by the army. After he gave some evidence at an investigation into the takeover he was asked to join a local army organization which was responsible for persuading returning soldiers not to turn to communism or pacifism. During his training for this task and during his other duties he was able to hone his oral skills. As part of his duties he was asked to spy on certain local political groups, and during a meeting of the German Workers' Party (which became known as the Nazi Party) he became so offended by one of the speeches that he delivered a fierce lecture to the speaker. The founder of the party, Anion Drexler, was so impressed by Hitler's ranting that he asked him to join their organization. Hitler gave it some thought, agreed to join the committee and became their seventh official in September 1919.

Source: http://www.secondworldwar.co.uk/ahitler.html I like this source as it gives in-depth history of Hitler at his politics. However, it is not fully complete. I believe it can be relied on for information and supplies a few pictures on the website. However, its lack of charts, tables and quotes can make the information questionable at times. I think it gives enough information per section and is nicely formatted although it makes the page quite long.

Nazi Popularity: did anyone really love being Nazi?

"Hitler went all over Germany for the campaign of 1930 making speeches, attending meetings, signing autographs, posing for pictures, shaking hands, and even kissing babies. To add to all of Hitler's appeaances, Joseph Goebbels organized meetings, torchlight parades, plastered poster everywhere and printed millions of copies of special editions of Nazi newspapers. The Nazi's popularity rose. Germany saw relief in Hitler because of the widespread poverty, the political instability, and misery caused by the Great Depression. The people of Germany were willing to listen to what Hitler said even though it was vague, and he repeated catchphrases over and over again. Deliberately, Hitler kept the audiences waiting and let the tension mount, finally, coming out after the processions of the Brownshirts with golden banners, blaring military military music, and finally his appearance with shouts of "Heil."

Source: http://library.thinkquest.org/26742/hitler.html#rise This source seems about just two A4 pages long, with a great load of information on it. This "overload" leads to easy confusion. However, the links at the top of the page will give you a clue to what they can tell you and will direct you to that section of the page easily. The page is organized but not very neat. I think it is a good source of information.
