Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler was a German dictator, born 1889 in Austria (which he later unified with Germany), in the 1930s and 1940s.

Hitler was a great orator who made the people of Germany believe that he could lead them out of their economic problems. He also inspired a strong sense of nationalism and racism in the German people. He was the dictator of Germany, and brought an end to the Weimar Republic, by starting a fire in the Reichstag building. He led Germany into World War II.

He was responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews, many disabled persons, and homosexuals, along with many other groups, through the so-called "final solution".
