Adolf’s Boyhood:
In 1895 Hitler starts school and his father retires,
the carefree days are over.
Alois had been a hard working civil servant and
never got used to the noisy farm life in the house.
In 1896 Alois Jr at age 14 runs away from home,
never to see his father again.
This meant that Adolf was next in line for his father’s
harsh treatment.
The family moves to Lambach to a flat
Adolf attends a monetary school. The school is
decorated with swastikas.
Adolf does well in school and sings in the choir.
He has a talent in drawing buildings from memory.
He is treated nice by the priests and often plays
priest and gives sermons at home.
Tragedy and trouble:
In 1898 they
move again

Adolf in contact w
two major interests:
German Nationalistic History
and
Drawing.
1899 Edmund dies
1900 Forced to go to
technical school in Linz.
The only subject he does
well in is German History.
In Mein Kampf he thanks
his history teacher.
Adolf is very
shaken by
this. Looking
out his room
he can se the
grave.
Adolf wanted
to go to
classical
school and
did poor.
Hitler identifies himself w
the Germans renouncing
the multicultural Austrians
In history classes he loves
reading about old Nordic
myths and ancient
German kings.
This will become
central in his
ideology.
His father dies 1903
Adolf starts failing in
school, deliberately.
He does practical jokes
on the teachers, not
fearing punishment
back home.
“The leader of the gang”
Managed to pass some
exams in sept 1905
Never got the diploma.
Adolf is grief-stricken,
but decides that he
is not going to follow
his father’s footsteps and
become a civil servant.
History is the only
subject he loves, he reads
books on his own.
Got drunk and
passed out in a
ditch.
Never gets
drunk again.
Studies on his own
High school drop-out at age 16.
His mother
urges him to get
a job, but Adolf
likes sleeping
late, draw and
read history.
He becomes more and more
introvert, talking about his political
ideas. Very shy to women. “Stalker”
Lives in a fantasy world.
Becomes obsessed with
Wagner’s operas.
Becomes interested in
architecture
He is convinced that he is a
misunderstood great artist.
Since he was a high school drop out he wasn’t
admitted to the academia for architecture.
He decides
to apply for
Art School.
Tragedy strikes Adolf again:
In Jan 1907 his mother is diagnosed for Breast
Cancer, she is operated but it doesn’t help.
The family doctor is a Jew Dr Bloch.
Klara gets worst.
In October this year Hitler fails the entrance
exam to Art School, they call him untalented.
He goes back to his mother, not telling her
that he failed. Hitler is now very depressed.
Seeing his mother weak and ill he consults
Dr Bloch and puts her on expensive care.
Dec 21 1907 she dies. Hitler is devastated.
Hitler owes a lot of money to Dr Bloch,
who was touched by Hitler’s grief of his mother
and didn’t charge him for all the house-calls.
He says he will be forever grateful.
Hitler moves back
to Vienna in
February 1908.
He fails the
entrance exams
to art school
again.
In February 1910
he moves into a
poor men's home.
Typical misunderstood
artist:
Sleeps all day.
Thinks he is to good to get
an ordinary job.
Big plans, but too lazy
to carry them through.
Friends of his say he
becomes more aggressive
and introvert.
Hitler’s roommate and
best friend pass the exam.
Hitler moves out without
forwarding address.
Starts drawing pictures
of buildings and
selling them to Jewish
shop-owners.
Hitler becomes a homeless anti-Semite.
Jews are
not
Germans
I am the BEST.
But nobody seem
to understand my
greatness.
Adolf Hitler.
Germans
are the
BEST
What is really
wrong with
Austria is
Multicultural
It is somebody
else's fault that I
fail.
The really scary thing is that Adolf Hitler is not
more anti-Semitic than the average Fritz in Vienna
He has Jewish friends, and he does good business
with them.
Wandering around on the streets of Vienna young
Adolf picks up some important influences.
He sees
orthodox Jews
for the first
time.
He studies antiSemitic journals
and books.
He sees
effective
political
propaganda
.
“I had ceased to be a
weak-kneed
cosmopolitan and
become an antiSemite.”
Hitler’s personal tragedy and misery
+
The anti-Semite political climate of Vienna
+
Hitler’s interest in German History and
Nordic mythology.
=
Perfect sense to Hitler.
Of cause it is the Jew’s fault.
Add Germany’s defeat in World War One
and you have yourself a raving antiSemite.

“Stab in the back”
The General Staff of Germany
never admitted to be defeated.
Leaders of the army said that had
they only been allowed to fight
they would have won.
Jews and Marxists
back home lost the
war, not the army.
Returning soldiers formed
“Freikorps” – small
private armies fighting
communists.

We have accepted you as
a member.

German Marks / USD
German Economy
worsened
Hyperinflation.
In January 1923
French troops occupy
Ruhr.
In September 23 the
German government
makes the fatal
decision to restart
payments.
What was the plan?
Hitler started to realize that something had to happen,
his followers (55 000 nov 23) grew tired of the talks and
wanted action.
Hitler decides to stage a coup.
The first target will be the Bavarian Government,
then when that had fallen they would march
to Berlin and seize power there.
What really happened:
Hitler and his SA storms a meeting held by
the Bavarian Government nov 8 1923.
Hitler enters, fires his gun in the ceiling and
shouts ”Silence, The National revolution has
begun”. He said that the police and the
military were cooperating with them. None
of this was true.
Hitler orders the 3 highest officials of
the Bavarian Gov to gather in the back
of the room, when they don’t obey, he says
” I have four shots in my gun, the last one is for
me” they agree to listen to him and followed him.
But the officials didn’t believe Hitler having control
over the army. Hitler acts immediately, runs back
to the big hall and holds a speech declaring
that the Government has fallen.
People in the room thinks that the officials have given
in to Hitler’s demands and starts cheering.
Now General Ludendorff enters and speaks with the
Bavarian officials. He gets them to promise that they
will be loyal to Hitler.
They enter the big Beer Hall and gives their support
to Hitler.
Hitler is euphoric and speaks again, but by now the
rumors that the nazi haven’t got control over the
Army starts to spread.
Hitler makes the fatal mistake of deciding to leave the
Beer Hall and go in person to the barracks
still resisting the Nazi takeover.
With Hitler gone the leaders of Bavaria sneeks out,
promising to remain loyal to Hitler.
Something the break the moment they get out.
Hitler doesn’t manage to convince the soldiers and
returns to the Beer Hall only to find that the
revolution has failed.
Under the advise of Ludendorff, Hitler decides
to simply march to the center of Munich and claim
the City as Nazi controlled
Hitler hesitated but Ludendorff said that once they
appeared in the streets, the police would support
them, and nobody would dare to fire on Hitler.
The coup fails. On the morning of Nov 9, 3000 nazis
under the command of Hitler march towards the
center of Munich.
The police have cut of the city and they stand face
face. Hitler shouts ”Surrender!”. But the police wont
listen and firing of guns start.
16 Nazis and 3 policemen died.
Hitler’s bodyguard takes several
bullets and saves his life.
Göring was shot in the groin.
Hitler crawled along the
sidewalk and flees to a friend
where he deeply depressed
thinks about committing suicide.
Unfortunately somebody talks Hitler out of killing
himself. 3 days later he is arrested.
The End of Nazism?
NO!
Hitler is many things but he is no idiot.
He uses the trial as a political forum, he holds
his speeches, saying that he and only he bares
the responsability of what happened.
He defend himself as a Patriot doing only what
a true leader would do. Treason is not possible
after what the German State have done to it’s
people and then he throw in a bit of anti-semitism
and he is back in the saddle.
The Trial is very big news in media, so unfortunately,
The effect i reversed. If he enters the trial as a looser
he sure as hell leaves it as a winner.
Hitler is accused of High Treason, a crime
liable with death sentence.
Hitler gets 5 years in prison and will be released
a few days before Christmas 1924.
In Prison Hitler
dictates his
book ”Mein Kampf”
to his secretary
Rudolf Hess.
The Book is dreadfully
boring, Hitler goes on
and on about how great
he is and what brilliant
ideas he has for the
future.
But it is honest. All of his
future action is to be
read here. The problem
is that few will read it
now.
With Hitler gone one
would imagine that the
Nazi party would soon
fall to pieces but au
contraire, in prison
Hitler will have forum
spreading his ideas
and getting the focus
from media which
actually will mean that
the party survives.
In prison Hitler decides
that in the future he will
get power by using the
democracy. No more
coups.
A new beginning.
The Nazi Party gets
banned and Hitler isn’t
allowed to make any
speeches in the State of Bavaria
from 1925 to 1927.
Reorganize
the Party.
The Nazi Party:
•Will form a ”shadow government”
•Will be organized nationwide in Gaue (34 districts),
Kreise, Ortsgruppe and on streetlevel.
•Hitler Jugend is formed
•SA is kept but Hitler creates a new elite group
•The SS, they will be personally responsible to Hitler
and will work as his bodyguard. Elite Soldiers.
•As head of SS he puts Heinrich Himmler.
Unfortunately for Hitler the
economy is improving in Germany
and the popularity of the Nazi Party plunges.
The Quiet Years 26 - 29
In the election 1927 the Nazi Party gets only one
seat in the Reichtag. Things are clearing up for
Germany, people get jobs, inflation stops etc.
Hitler buys a place in Berchtesgarden in Bavaria.
Things look bad for Hitler, but he is sure that
things will change….
On October 29 1929 the Wall Street Crash
sets Germany on fire again and Hitler’s time will
come.
55 million dead people later Hitler will finally put
that bullet to his head….
How Hitler became Fürher of almost the
entire European continent is the next subject
on our curriculum.
