Hitler's Younger Years
His father's name was Alois Hitler, his mother's name was Klara Hitler who was Alosis's third wife. Alois was 52 when Hitler was born. Adolf Hitler was one of the 5 children, but only he and his sister [Paula] survived to adulthood. In elementary school, Adolf Hitler was a very intelligent student. He aspired to do well, but once he got into junior high the pressure was too much for him to handle, he coped by being lazy. His father was a customs official and always wanted Adolf to work hard and find a well paying job, but Adolf had other plans he had wanted to be an artist. At the age of 16 he had quit school, clinging onto his dreams, and headed to Vienna, Austria.
Adolf was very attached to his hard working mother and was mortified when she died of cancer in December 1908. In May 1913 Hitler left Vienna for Munich and, when war broke out in August 1914, he joined the Sixteenth Bavarian Infantry Regiment, serving as a despatch runner. Hitler proved he was a courageous soldier, receiving the Iron Cross (First Class) for bravery, but did not rise above the rank of Lance Corporal. Twice wounded, he was badly gassed four weeks before the end of the war and spent three months recuperating in a hospital in Pomerania. Temporarily blinded and driven to impotent rage by the abortive November 1918 revolution in Germany as well as the military defeat, Hitler, once restored, was convinced that fate had chosen him to rescue a humiliated nation from the shackles of the Versailles Treaty, from Bolsheviks and Jews. Once Hitler had healed he realized that through his loses he gained something wonderful, he was a wonderful orator. After Hitler had recovered he learned that Germany had surrendered in WWI, Adolf was furious and began to focus more on politics to try and salvage what was left of Germany. He started the "National Socialist German Worker's Party" which was later shortened to "Nazi Party" as well are all familiar with.
