Hitler: the rise of evil
The saga of the rise of Hitler is that of a frenzied and preposterous ambition that plunged the entire world in brutal war for almost a decade. Only an army corporal in World War-I Hitler rose through the ranks and his thirst for power was only quenched after he ascended to the post of chancellor of Germany 15 years later.
His rambling and immensely emotional autobiography, Mein Kampf reveals everything about his noticeably unstable early life. Hitler was born Adolf.G.Hitler in Austria. His father wanted him to study for a government job, but the thought of slogging in an office made Hitler sick. He yearned to be an artist and practiced water colour painting, but he achieved little. Later on, he approached the Vienna Art Academy but he was rejected and labeled “untalented”. Failure dogged him.
All these humbling experiences flamed his discontent for his “patchwork country”-Austria. He looked across the border to magnificent Germany flourishing with an unending flow of wealth and blooming with unhindered development. Hitler's hatred of poverty, his rabid and radical devotion to his German heritage, and his bigoted loathing of Jews combined to form the seeds of his later successful political doctrine. Hitler left “wretched” Vienna for Munich, a “true German town.” There he drifted from job to job as carpenter, architect's draftsman, and watercolorist. Always he ranted about his political ideas.
During World War-I he gave up his Austrian citizenship and enlisted himself in the German army. He was a remarkably brave soldier and his unflinching gallantry won him the Iron Cross.Unfortunately, for him Germany was defeated and he landed up in an infirmary temporarily blinded my mustard gas. Having renounced his Austrian citizenship and yet to become a German citizen Hitler was now a man without a country.
In the aftermath of the war Munich was caught in a political tirade. Officers like Hitler were used as political spies. This marked the turning point of Hitler’s life. On one such cold night of spying, Hitler, guided by “intuition” ended up as the seventh member of a meeting around a broken gas lamp. It consisted of a motley group of army officers, painters, artisans and crafts men who nursed one ambition-ruling Germany. Hitler soon took control of this faction. This diverse group went on to become the distinguished Nazi party. With Hitler as its leader the party began to garner supporters. Hitler’s voice torn and hoarsened by mustard gas was hypnotic. His audience just remained spell bound. He indeed was an effective speaker. Sneering at the liberal generalities of the various bourgeois parties and hating the Communists, Hitler shouted accusations against the Jews and cried out to the Germans to form an all-powerful national state. The flamboyant spirit of the growing Nazi party now began to attract the varied restless men who were to become its core.
The party grew in strength in terms of followers. It grew so politically powerful that it started thinking of overthrowing the government.Well, this is precisely what Hitler did, he, with the backing of the brutal Nazis attacked a Government meeting in a beer hall and tried to seize the reins of governance but, he miserably failed. Accused of high treason and found guilty Hitler was thrown in prison. Due to the immense public uproar his term of sentence was reduced to eight months. It was during his time at prison that he wrote the epic “Mein Kampf” with the help of the loyal Rudolf Hess. Hitler emerged from prison to the roaring applause of the people- it was blatantly apparent that he undeniably was a demi-god for them.
After serving his term in captivity he remarked that it would take 7 years for him to rekindle the flame of passion in the hearts of the people. What he said was true, at the time of his release Germany was prospering and revolutions don’t flourish in prosperity. In 1928 a world wide depression hit Germany.Poverty, grief and hardship was staring the Germans. The Nazis underwent regeneration. They were back-stronger than ever, this time with the persistent support of the communalists and army personnel. The blatant supremacy of the Nazis was inevitable. Hitler was appointed the chancellor of Germany and from then onwards he started striving towards his goal of global conquest. His quest for power ultimately ended when he rose to become the dictator of Germany. Chief instigator of World War-II, Hitler was also the master mind behind the mass genocide of Jews called holocaust. As all of us know Germany was finally defeated in WW-II and Hitler committed suicide ending a sort of legend in a very desolate fashion.
Among Germans, during his time Hitler was considered as a super-man. Nazi propaganda had made of Hitler a symbol of strength and national virtue. His indecisions were cloaked as “intuition.” Despite his hours and even days of brooding inertia, he was pictured as a man of intense action. He became idolized by young Germans. Covering his unsavory and cruel character, propaganda built a legend of his ascetic habits and selfless devotion to Germany.
After all that I have written above I can indubitably state that Hitler through his life and times can be considered as an epitome of sinister malevolence and malicious wickedness. Though an excellent orator and courageous combatant I feel that Hitler could have done much better had he channelized his talents in any other constructive field. Hitler through his life showed the world that even one man with a strong will can make a world of difference.
Cheers!

The most meaningful lesson of my life occurred 12 1/2 years ago when through a series of events I came to know the true meaning of God's Grace. I learned in a very personal way that God does not expect perfection from me. . .that His Love is unconditional...and that His Grace is sufficient. I was finally able to stop trying to be "perfect" and just be me! By accepting the Atonement that He offered through His Son, I fell in love with the Most High, THE GREAT I AM, and my life was forever altered from that day forward. I don't know if anyone has ever lived life without having at least a few regrets. There are regrets for things you wish you hadn't done, and regrets for things you wish you would have done. Can't change the past, so you just don't dwell on it. My focus is on my relationship with God first and foremost, learning more about Him and His Ways; and on providing for the family He has blessed me with.

Hitler lost the most precious thing in the world for him: Germany. I think yes, he deserved what he got. I am sick of people painting up this man as if he was some kind of an inhumane monster. He was a bad man with a lot of power and like all bad man with excessive power he did not pursue goodness.
oh and what kind of a teacher gives such an abstract homework? Your question is not a scientific one.

One important reason in life: we must get out of the bunker otherwise we'd be terrible at golf.
What's a virtual Hitler?
A book I highly recommend: The Parallel Lives of Hitler & Stalin by Allan Bullock. That should answer your question.

According to me, Hitler dint deserve what he got. You can possibly search for his life in details on net. that should help you for 1000 words. & as far as the lesson from his life is concerned, it depends upon how we take it. We can interpret his life in many ways. I like Hitler for his self-respect & self-confidence. Even in the end, he kept up his self-respect by killing himself & not bending down. But yes, most people hate him for the destruction he caused.

There is nothing wrong with Hitler.He believed,like americans believe today ,that Germans are great and they are fit to rule the world.In those days germans were defeated and humiliated by all.The war torn country was poor and poverty stricken He was a unemoloyed soldier and he promised heaven for Germans.And see to what extent he succeeded.His only blunder was dislike for jews and attribute all problems to them.His other mistake was without consolidating he has spread war so far and wide his comanders were tired and let him down by not telling the truth.He never imagined lazy americans will enter the war.
Americans entered war because they saw a business gain and made money out of human agony.

Lol. Well here's my thought. Yes, he definitely deserved what he got. I think he had to kill himself just because he got himself into that huge mess and he knew that if he lived another day people would kill him because they were so angry.
