Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889 – April 30, 1945) was Chancellor of Germany from 1933, and "Führer" (Leader) of Germany from 1934 until his death. He was leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP), better known as the Nazi Party.
Hitler gained power in a Germany facing crisis after World War I. Using propaganda and charismatic oratory, he was able to appeal to the economic need of the lower and middle classes, while sounding resonant chords of nationalism, anti-Semitism and anti-communism. With the establishment of a restructured economy, a rearmed military, and a totalitarian and fascist regime, Hitler pursued an aggressive foreign policy with the intention of expanding German Lebensraum ("living space"), which triggered World War II when Germany annexed Austria, the Czech lands and invaded Poland. At its greatest extent, Nazi Germany occupied most of Europe, but along with the other Axis Powers it was eventually defeated by the Allies. By then, Hitler's racial policies had culminated in the killing of approximately 11 million people, including about 6 million Jews, in a genocide now known as the Holocaust.[1] The Second World War ended in the near-total destruction of much of Europe.
In the final days of the war, Hitler, along with his new wife, Eva Braun, committed suicide in his underground bunker in Berlin, as the city was being overrun by the Red Army.

Austrian-born founder of the German Nazi Party and chancellor of the Third Reich (1933-1945). His fascist philosophy, embodied in Mein Kampf (1925-1927), attracted widespread support, and after 1934 he ruled as an absolute dictator. Hitler's pursuit of aggressive nationalist policies resulted in the invasion of Poland (1939) and the subsequent outbreak of World War II. His regime was infamous for the extermination of millions of people, especially European Jews. He committed suicide when the collapse of the Third Reich was imminent (1945).

Seriously ok. He was a dictator from Germany. He was in world war one and after being defeated he became resentful of that Germany was blamed for the war. Which if you know your history the war was began in most part from a assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz and not conclusively Germany's fault. So he made speeches that were highly effective and eventually came to power real legit. He started the third reich and such. The majority of people in America see him as a symbol of evil for his most infamous of deeds. He is thought to be the individual sole behind the nazi concentration camps. Where they tried to kill out people who did not fit into their idea of a pure breed Arian race. It is a indescribable thing.
