Hitler: Wannabe Death

Hitler is a known name throughout history up to this day. When the name "Adolf Hitler" is mentioned, I think of pure evil. Entering the Night Unit, I was well aware of what he did. However, I was not well aware of where he came from. I never thought such a failure in life could become what he became. What I find interesting is his past. Adolf Hitler was born in Austria on April 20th, 1889. He was not even German. The first part of his life basically showed that he was destined for failure. He was a highschool dropout and did not do very well in school. Hitler aspired to be an artist, but his peers thought he was mediocre at best. How does a mass murderer and a person who carries out genocide want to be an artist? What is going to paint with, the blood of the innocent? It's disgusting to me. He even failed the art school entrance exam. He turned out to be a bum. He was lazy and refused to work. He fled Austria when he was going to be drafted but ended up loving war when he fought for Germany. I think of him as a spoiled brat. Hitler had a domineering mother and no fatherly role. He had many tantrums as a child. Into adulthood, he remained an unstable person, at times moody and withdrawn, then subject to unexpected fits of ranting and raving. He always seemed to get what he wanted. It also pains me that Europe used appeasement to give into his spoiled bratiness. He has such a punchable personality and face, don't you agree?

What I also find interesting is his following. So many people thought he was their saviour in some way. I don't understand how they did not see through his hypocrisy and idiocy. It was idiocy and deviousness in my opinion. Hitler gained a loyal following. He was not born German, but he was a German veteran and was happy to be german. Hitler's involvement in politics of Germany was as erratic at first as his other life endeavors. His maniacal rantings and ravings somehow received favorable response by a few at first. I do not understand why, but I could see the reasoning behind it. The Germans felt they were hated by the world and Hitler offered them a scapegoat, the Jews. However, he lied to his people. He said he worked for peace and justice for all of his people. He had no intention of being peaceful and he corrupted the swastika. He also cheated his way by killing his opponents like a coward and lied about it. However, blind rage of the German people thought he was doing the right thing. The thing is, even when he did start persecuting the Jews, people still followed him. I'm mad about that but I guess I cannot change history.
