Hitler's early life,,,

Hitler's father was the illegitimate child of a cook named (Maria Anna) Schickelgruber. This cook, the grandmother of Adolf Hitler, was working for a Jewish family named Frankenburger, when she became pregnant. Frankenburger paid Schickelbruber, a paternity allowance from the time of the child's birth up to his fourteenth year. From a secret report by the Nazi Hans Frank. Written in 1930. Hitler's Childhood In Braunau, Austria on April 20, 1889, Adolf Hilter was born to Alois and Klara (Pölzl) Hitler. Adolf had good grades in elementary school, but had poor grades in high school. Adolf's father was harsh and ill-tempered, and wanted him to become a civil servant. Adolf had other plans because he wanted to become an artist. After Alois Hitler died in 1903, Adolf left high school when he was sixteen, and he and his mother lived off of her widow's pension. Not having to work, he spent his time reading books, drawing pictures, and daydreaming.

//This source is important because we get to know the background of hitler's family, Hitler wants to become an artist but his father(Alois) wants him to become a civil servant. I think Hitler can do lots of useful things or look for a job although he and his mum were living of his mum's widow's pension, this is much better than wasting his time all day long, during the time when he was living with his mum. Hitler's academic results in high school was poor because all he was thinking of doing in his future was painting or drawing and also we get to know Hitler's father personality and he's relationship with Hitler.//

Hitler's early politics,,,

Munich and the Great War - 1913-1918

At Munich in 1914, near the beginning of World War I, Hitler volunteered for service in the German army and was accepted into the infantry. He fought bravely in the war, was promoted to corporal, and was decorated with the Iron Cross Second Class and First Class; the latter he wore until his dying day. On the day of the armistice announcement in 1918, Hitler was in a hospital recovering from temporary blindness caused by a British gas attack in the Ypres Salient. In December 1918 he was released from the hospital.

Early politics - 1918-1933

Between December 1918 and March 1919 Hitler, still a corporal in the German army, was posted to a German prisoner-of-war camp at Traunstein before returning to Munich. Shortly after his return he witnessed a governmental takeover bid by local Communists, who seized power before being ousted by the army. After Hitler gave evidence about the takeover attempt in an investigation, he was asked to become part of a local army organization that was responsible for persuading returning soldiers not to turn to Communism or Pacifism. During his training for that task, and his subsequent military duties, he was able to hone his oratory skills.

//This source is important to us beacause we know Hitler was a hard working soldier in the war as a messenger because he got the Iron cross Second class and first class. Hitler almost died during the war, but he had recovered. Hitler was asked to become part of a organization, which his job was to persuade returning soldiers not to turn to Communism or Pacifism. From this job, Hitler learned and experienced how to persuade people, so in the election, he can think of different good ideas to persuade people to vote for him and he should know what the people really need through the experience working as a messenger in the war.// http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1695.html

Nazi Germany,,,

The Role of women in Nazi Germany

Women in Nazi Germany were to have a very specific role. Hitler was very clear about this. This role was that they should be good mothers bringing up children at home while their husbands worked. Outside of certain specialist fields, Hitler saw no reason why a woman should work. Education taught girls from the earliest of years that this was the lifestyle they should have.

In Nazi Germany it was not considered a social problem if an unmarried woman had a child. In fact it was encouraged. The Nazis established Lebensborn’s which were buildings where selected unmarried women could go to get pregnant by a "racially pure" SS man. These were not buildings that were hidden away in some back street. The government openly publicised them and they had a white flag with a red dot in the middle to identify them to the public.

A common rhyme for women then was:

"Take hold of kettle, broom and pan, Then you’ll surely get a man! Shop and office leave alone, Your true life work lies at home."

"In the Germanic nations there has never been anything else than equality of rights for women. Both sexes have their rights, their tasks, and these tasks were in the case of each equal in dignity and value, and therefore man and woman were on an equality." Hitler in 1935

"The mission of women is to be beautiful and to bring children into the world. This is not at all as.........unmodern as it sounds. The female bird pretties herself for her mate and hatches eggs for him. In exchange, the male takes care of gathering food, and stands guard and wards off the enemy."

This source is important for us to know because we get to know what's Hitler's opinion on women's life. Obviously he thinks women's role was to be good mothers. Women in Nazi Germany wasn't treated equally among men. I think girls should study too because they can help out their husband sometimes if he have any problems and she would have more priorities of jobs if she needs to work when her family is facing any financial problems or other problems.

This passage was written by Joseph Goebbels in 1929. And this was found in the following website.

The Rise of Nazis and Hitler's power,,,

Hitler learned for his past that he could not over take the German government by force. He would have to get elected, and do it by the democratic rules of Germany. In prison Hitler had said, "...Instead of working to achieve power by an armed coup we shall have to hold our nosesand enter the Reichstag against the Catholic and Marxist deputies. If outvoting them takes longer than outshooting them, at least the results will be guaranteed by their own Constitution! Any lawful process is slow. But sooner or later we shall have a majority - and after that Germany."Hitler also gaining friends in small towns, in labor unions, farmers, and a few business people and industrialists. He also gathered some people who could help him rise in power, with Joseph Goebbels being the chief Nazi propagandist, Hermann Goering as second in command under Hitler, Rudolf Hess as Hitler's private secretary, Heinrich Himmler as the leader of the SS, Ernst Röhm as chief of SA, and Alfred Rosenberg as party philosopher. 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.

This source is important to us because it lets us to know that Hitler used many ways to make the Nazi's popular, he made speeches, attended meetings, signing autographs, shaking hands, etc. All of these ideas help the Nazi's population rise and popular. The Nazis were the largest party in Germany, Hitler was really famous that time and a lot of people vote for him to be the President although he's not a German. I think Hitler should be the president because he worked really hard all the way, had good ideas and plans to make the Nazi party popular and become Germany's largest party.
