Adolf Hitler typifies hatred, genocide, and racial prejudice to the extreme. Under his direct command his Nazi Party murdered nearly 35 million people from all walks of life to promote the Super Race! And he and his henchmen were directly and or indirectly responsible for the deaths of 55 million people over the course of the 9 years of World War II. Hitler specifically targeted Russians, Poles, Checks, Hungarians, Serbs, Croats, and especially the Jews, feeling that they were personally responsible for the economic hardship faced by Germany in the 30's and that they were inferior to his beloved Master Race! Adolf Hitler was born April 20th, 1889 in Braunau-am-Inn, Austria, of German descent. His father, Alois Schicklgruber was the Bastard son of Maria Anna Schicklgruber and took the name Hitler from his Paternal Grandfather in his middle age years. After two wives died Alois Hitler married his foster Daughter, Klara Poelzl and she became Adolf's surrogate Mother.

Adolf Hitler was plagued by failure throughout his early years. His father died when he was 13 years old and he began to study water colors and dreamed of being a famous painter, but failed to amount to anything. After his Mother died at age 19 he went to Vienna and applied at the Academy of Arts but was rejected, he was considered to be untalented and a basic sketch artist at best! Lacking any formal training he eked out a living as a laborer in the trades and by selling cheap hand painted post cards. His financial hardship led to his sleeping in parks and eating in soup kitchens.

These experiences humbled him and gave way to a fervent fire in his heart that Austria would be the downfall of the German Race. He hated Austria and loved the enterprising and eager people of Germany. He wrote, "I was convinced that Austria, (the state), would obstruct every great German and support everything un-German. He felt that Austria was a mixed breed state and therefore inferior. This fanatiscm later coalesced into and Anti-Semitism! His emotional Auto-biography, Mien Kampf, was a collection of rambling writings based on his early life. He had balked at his Fathers wishes for him to study for a Government position and despised not being the master of his own time! When his teachers would glorify the role of Germany he would sit transfixed and on the verge of tears. From boyhood he was devoted to Wagner's operas that glorified the Teuton's dark and furious mythology.

Adolf Hitler despised his years of abject poverty,
