'''Adolf Hitler''' was the Austrian-born Chancellor and President of [[Germany]] from January 30, 1933 until his death on April 30, 1945.  He was also the leader (German: ''Der Führer'') of the National Socialist German Workers Party (''National-sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei'', or Nazi Party) which gained political power through threat, intimidation, and outright violence throughout Germany in the aftermath of the First World War. Hitler’s policies and beliefs resulted in the mass extermination of the [[Jews]], Gypsies, and other peoples he considered “inferior” throughout central and eastern [[Europe]]. This was directly responsible for the outbreak of [[World War II]], causing the deaths of untold millions on and off the battlefield, and ending only with his own death in his Berlin bunker.
