Hitler was a product of his time. The History Channel did a good program on this. Though Hitler, and the people who put him into power, were big into astrology and the Aryan race, he still had to get the backing of the people. During WWI, the troops, of which Hitler was one, we told they were winning. Without the type of communication we take for granted today, one regiment had no idea that any other was winning or losing a battle. The Jews were the financial backers of the German Royal leader, who also happen to be a close cousin to the English King. It was the people of Germany who stopped the war, as they began to riot in opposition to it. The people made the first attempts to surrender, and we rewarded them by blockading their ports and trying to starve them out of existence. Talk about a form of genocide.
Hitler's insanity actually helped Germany lose the war. Had be been killed in the assassination attempt, we may have lost it under a more stable leader.
There were many times when things could have been different and he may nto have become the leader, but the war, and the atrocities, was inevitable.

Germany was in a worse depression than you might know. The end of world war 1 has left them in a huge slump and the economy is annihalated to the point money has no value. People have always followed those who offered hope and Hitler is a prime example. He first found the scapegoat for losing the war and the economy going to shambles. he was a very intense speaker also, very motivational, although to me not the best writer he was a hell of an attention grabber. I dont believe the exact death toll on the holocaust although it was a high number. To hear the intensity of Hitler speeches it is truly remarkable how he was so followed and respected throughout Germany and ultimately he sold the case of them being superior to all, and blaming previous faults on the jews he was a beakon of hope. Read "Mein Kampf" or my struggle to get into the mind of Hitler himself.

Hitler and the Nazis
One individual never tried to hide the fact that his hatred of the Jews was simply because they were Jewish. Adolf Hitler, the man who alone was responsible for the most devastating scourge of anti-Semitism in the history of mankind, had no use for the multitude of whitewashed explanations offered by scholars.
Hitler viewed his hatred of the Jews as unique because he was the only Jew-hater of international repute who openly acknowledged the uniqueness of the Jews as a people. Hitler realized that Jews can never be successfully integrated with the rest of humanity, and he made it his objective to ensure that they never would be.
The anti-Semitism that Hitler professed was not a means to an end; it was a goal in and of itself. The Nuremberg Laws, established in 1935, effectively disenfranchised and dismantled the Jewish community of Germany – but this was not enough to satisfy Hitler.
In the late 1930’s, Germany was rebuilt and its morale restored, but Hitler’s eye remained trained on the Jews. Seven years after the Nuremberg Laws mangled and mutilated the Jews in body and spirit, the Final Solution was launched in the Wansee Conference of 1942. Hitler saw the Jews as something far more menacing than mere scapegoats; the Jewish nation was his mortal enemy, and so became his target for absolute destruction.
Hitler was very rational and, cannot be dismissed as simply a nut. What were the Nazis really after?

Hitler was mean because he had stomach problems, which made him grumpy(I'm serious). And his doctor didn't like him, but was afraid of him so he gave him medicine that made his stomach worse!!!! The Holocaust happened because Hitler brain washed everybody in a Germany to hate Jews, so no one tried to stop him.How he brainwashed them? Well, he told them they were the superior race, and who doesn't want to hear that? Other countries didn't know about it until after the war, either. It is thought that Hilter actually was half Jew and half Austrian or all Jew(he actually lived in Austria) But Anyway, his parents abused him, so he hated Jews and never claimed his Jewish life.

Hitler's mother was a Jew (which means he was Jewish). His mother didn't support his dreams (he wanted to go to Art School), and when he went crazy he developed a hatred against his mother and her people- the Jews. He had plenty of antisemitism to work with. Catholicism was antisemitic for centuries (read up on the inquisition and the crusades). Martin Luther was antisemitic... He preached a sermon on "the final solution" of the Jewish disbelief. (Sound familiar?) Since catholics and Lutherans made up the vast majority of Germany and Europe as a whole, stirring up hatred against them was easy! Amazing how religions that follow a "peaceful God" can be so murderous, huh?

X... Hitler was part of an entire culture that blamed economic failure on people who were assumed to be the money-holders: the Jews. German hatred of Jews dates all the way back to the Middle Ages, when Jews were burned at the stake.

Hitler started of as nothing but a door to door brush salesman (to the best of my knowledge) and was a charismatic speaker. He formed a political party and soon come to power at a time when there was great depression and high unemployment. He was success full in starting up industry within Germany and this created jobs so everyone had money and everyone followed him as he put the country on it feet economically.As industry was booming he decided to create a war machine (tool up for war) he manufactures war planes,war ships and weapons of all types and in so doing he was able to form a huge defense force. Hr had a huge following as he had delivered his people out of poverty and depression and at the same time had a very effective propaganda strategy which convinced the people that they needed to go to war against the surrounding nations as they posed a threat. Hitler was not a German himself but was an Austrian. As a boy of 15 he wandered through the hills of Austria chanting that one day he would "liberate Austria" (From what I don't know) and this was the first indication that he was mentally unstable. before the war started and during the time of his industrial revolution he was the one responsible for the manufacture of the Volkwagen car as he said that all citizens should have a car that they can afford.
His war efforts were relentless and he soon took over all the countries on the continent as they were not ready for war and did not have the ready means of defending themselves. As the war progressed he started to become afraid of the Jews as they were in Germany in great number and he knew they also controlled a lot of the wealth so he started a propaganda campain against them which very quickly had the German people everywhere turning against them. He had them rounded up and sent of to concentration camps and confiscated all their money and assets which he needed for the war effort. History records that he exterminated 6 million Jews however many believe this figure would by more like 12 million as he had to get rid of them somehow. One reason that there were so many Jews in Germany at the outbreak of the war was because there was no state of Israil at that time so the Jews were scattered all over the world. Hitler became even more Big headed and decided to invade Russia and whilst some 20 million Russians died Hitler paid a huge price as well as when the winter came his efforts were stalled due to severe winter which was apparently the coldest ever hence all his military equipment could not function due to the intense cold.
He further waged war in North Africa where he was beaten as the allies cut his supply lines so that his war planes simply ran out of fuel and crashed,tanks and artillary could not function.
He was now fighting a loosing battle and he knew it as the allies were closing in all around him and reclaiming all the countries that he had taken over and by now news of the concerntration camps had reached the world. Hitler finally took his own life with his partner (I think they were married only hours before they both died)
Israel became a nation again in 1948 and so the Jews started returning to Israel from that time onwards.
I hope this throws some light on your question.

What I heard was Hitler was a poor little boy growing up and was infatuated why Jews had so much money when he has been poor all his life. Then he snapped and wanted them to feel what it was like to not have anything and he wanted to kill people for having anything to scare the Jewish population.Plus he thought the Germany breed was better.

It's happening all over again in Iran. Iran is hosting a "Holocaust denial conference" right now, with one of the guest speakers from the American Nazi Party (David Duke). You can see it all unfold right before your very eyes. Women are suffering hideous deaths at the hands of the government authorities. Iranian troops are killing people in Afghanistan, Somalia, Lebanon, Iraq and Israel, and our media is not reporting it.
Mamoud Ahmadinejad says that he will destroy Israel and America. He is working on nuclear weapons. And just like in 1933, the world says nothing and does nothing. Politicians and political factions in the United States try to destroy each other instead of fighting the common enemy. We will soon wake up to a new NUCLEAR holocaust. Not to be selfish, but, I just hope that it's in Israel and not in my city. I have no faith in our governments or in humanity in general.

The details are interesting as how they unfold .
It's sad how the Jewish are so hated and how the hard times the Germans went through after WWI would be blamed and reflected onto the Jews.
But the overall view is this----Satan is the instigater of hate, prejudice, and war. Soon, the Kingdom of God will end all that.
