Adolf Hitler’s rise to power couldn’t have been stopped. Adolf Hitler read dictator since the day he born. When Adolf Hitler finally was on his own dictatorship came right through on his personality as a young adult. When Adolf Hitler became the official dictator of the Nazis in Germany his true colors shown, he meant business and couldn’t be stopped when he put the Jews in the concentration camps. Everyone in Germany was scared of the all-powerful Nazi Leader Adolf Hitler.
Adolf Hitler was born April 20, 1889 in Branau am Inn. He has six siblings. After 3 years his family moved to Germany from Austria. At a young age Adolf and his father did not see eye to eye, which cause Adolf to be abused as a child. Adolf was into fine arts rather than business one thing his father did not approve of and Adolf believed strongly in German Nationalism rather than Astro-Hungary. Alois, Adolf’s older brother, died in 1903, which made Adolf the man of house behind his father. Adolf wanted out of the house badly and after 2 years of asking his mother he was able to drop out of school and move out of the house.
