希特勒被证实是外星人

有哪些好看的与外星人打仗的科幻电影

10. 未知喝水星人 (《洛杉矶之战》)
　　类型：正规军
　　关键词：水，退休的海军陆战队士官长
　　特点：在2011年这个外星人再度全面入侵地球的大年中，《洛杉矶之战》算是其中声势最大的一个，入侵的外星人规模之大堪比《独立日》，但战术却相当原始，甚至有些匪夷所思，这些具有星际旅行能力的外星人在没有取得对地球人的绝对军事优势前就发动了全面进攻，而且居然还是地面抢滩部队打头阵。他们的武器伤害力看上去也就和美军能打个平手，单兵素质甚至还不如美军，神奇的是居然就轻描淡写地将驻守洛杉矶地区的美军清了个精光。这些外星人将金属设备和自己的有机机体结合在一起，所以看起来像是半机械半有机生命体。有意思的是，他们的能源相当环保，就是地球上再常见不过的水，其实他们大可以和地球人和睦相处，那么多海水分他们点无妨，何必要拼得头破血流。
　　弱点：尽管官方消息它们的弱点是人类心脏偏右的位置，但最要命的是他们战斗力的不稳定性。就是这只神奇地清缴了全洛杉矶地区美军的入侵者却始终无法灭掉一支只有7人的海军陆战队小分队。而且这些火力也并不强大的家伙非得造那么大个的通信中心，地球上最大的通讯终端也没那么笨重的，造就造吧，还不派重兵把守，一个马上要退休的海军陆战队士官长就轻而易举地灭了它。要换一队恐怖分子的**来估计电影还能早收场20分钟。所以看电影的时候，记下这只小分队的番号(我已经忘了)，如果遇到用水当能源的外星人，就向这支无敌小队求救，他们绝对会来救你。
5. 火星人(《世界之战》)
类型：正规军
关键词：细菌
特点：这部电影的原著基本上是人类历史上首个描写地球人被外星人入侵的文学作品。鉴于50年代的老版本已经年久失修，我们主要参照2005年斯皮尔伯格和阿汤哥的那个版本。这些入侵者的武器基本上具备最经典的章鱼外形，拥有保护膜抵抗地球武器的攻击，发射的光线基本可以秒杀所有地球上的抵抗力量。
弱点：这些外星人对地球上的一些细菌没有抵抗力，结果眼看就要拿下地球了，却一个个都倒在了病魔的手下，这就是入侵功课没做足的悲剧。这些小胳膊小腿天天依赖高科技的外星人，体魄怎么和我们这些扛过非典和禽兽流感、每天呼吸着各种有害气体的地球人比。所以家里要常备点汽车尾气、厨余垃圾什么的，以备不时之需。

希特勒是外星人？？？

面对近年越来越多的UFO的事件，我们不禁要想到：地外是否有外星人，它们又是怎么来到地球的？我虽然同意有外星人，但不同意外星人会如此之快地闯入我们的生活。前几天，看到了一种猜测，希特勒在二战时并没有死，而是在筹备和领导他所建立的第四帝国，下面是我引用这种猜测的文章。 据报道，根据历史说法，纳粹元首希特勒1945年4月30日已在柏林地堡中自杀身亡。然而美军解密文件显示，希特勒自杀是苏联红军对外的说法，其实连斯大林本人都不相信希特勒已死。 1947年1月的一天早晨，美国将军艾森豪威尔缓缓打开一份标记着“高级机密”的黄封皮文件，这位未来的美国总统读了文件后，忍不住倒抽了一口凉气。因为这份来自中情局特别间谍小组的报告证实了他长久以来的猜疑：纳粹元首希特勒并未在1945年4月30日自杀身亡，而是逃出了柏林。这份绝密报告称，中情局特工发现了可信证据，证明希特勒不仅没有死于二战，而且正藏身在德国海德尔堡附近的威恩海姆地区。 报告称，有证据显示希特勒正在和纳粹余孽策划建立由他领导的“第四帝国”。 据解密文件披露，艾森豪威尔看过报告后，不敢有丝毫耽搁，立即派出30名全副武装的特种兵前往威恩海姆地区，全力搜索“希特勒和他的纳粹同党”的下落。然而，没有任何收获。艾森豪威尔相信，如果希特勒真的还活在世上，那么他显然又一次逃过了追捕之网。 接着，艾森豪威尔下令建立一个特别调查小组，专门秘密调查希特勒的死亡真相。二战结束后7年，艾森豪威尔仍向亲信透露：“我们无法找到一丝证据，证明希特勒已经死亡。许多人都相信，他逃出了柏林。” 解密文件显示，即使是斯大林本人也对希特勒之死抱怀疑态度。在1945年的波茨坦会议上，美国总统杜鲁门询问斯大林是否相信希特勒已死的说法，斯大林生硬地回答说：“不，没有人知道。”美国前国务卿詹姆斯·比尼斯曾回忆说：“1945年7月波茨坦会议期间，斯大林端着一杯酒非常友好地和我碰杯，我问他，'斯大林元帅，你对希特勒之死怎么看？’斯大林回答说，'他没死，他逃到了西班牙或阿根廷。’” 首先挥军占领柏林的苏军元帅朱可夫在1945年也曾声明：“我们并没有发现可能是希特勒的尸体。” 事实上，二战结束后，美军接到过世界各地多处发现“希特勒魔踪”的报告。 1945年7月，美国政府截获了一封寄给芝加哥媒体的信件，宣称希特勒生活在阿根廷的一处德国人庄园。美国方面立即对该地区展开搜查，但却没有任何发现。事实上，不管希特勒当年有没有死亡，他现在肯定已经死定了，因为如果他还活着，将有117岁了。 一份美国联邦调查局的秘密报告显示，希特勒拥有至少14个替身，不过，二战结束后，就没人知道这些替身的下落，他们可能藏了起来，也可能在希特勒垮台前就被纳粹全部射杀了。 面对近年来愈演愈烈的UFO事件，我们是否该好好想一想，究竟希特勒有没有死呢，他是否在世界其他地方或者是某一个角落开展他的“飞碟计划”？具有关报道称，希特勒在帝国败亡前曾经大量研究过飞碟，曾经一度制造成功飞碟，只是因为帝国败亡而不得不停了下来，而且盟军占领了德国之后并没有发现任何飞碟的蓝图。希特勒是否带着他的蓝图去了其他地方研究？这一切的一切还是个未解的谜

阿道夫*希特勒一生的简介？

希特勒是什么人，这个问题似乎很简单，但是，说实话，如果仅仅按照教科书和宣传资料来说的话就太简单，太肤浅了。 英国有位历史学家戴维欧文，他研究二战历史几十年，曾这样评价道：“希特勒如同他的三个前任一样（亚历山大大帝、奥古斯都凯撒、波拿巴拿破仑），是人类历史上，金融主义和共产主义笼罩大地之前的最后一位古典主义征服者（也就是武士）。” 对于后人来说，希特勒很可能是人类历史上最复杂，最难以一句话说清的人。因为从来没有人像他那样，将人类的优点与由此带来的极端性的负面效应在一个人身上如此集中体现出来，而又完美的结合起来： 在世界战争爆发前，希特勒是德国历史上最年轻的，也是第一个没有贵族背景的国家领袖，他闪电般地崛起，用最短的时间内造就了世界历史上最非凡的经济奇迹，做到了史上最不可思议的外交成就，变魔术般地白手建立了当时最庞大的空军和重建了陆军，实行了当时最可超前的社会保障、环保、建军思想（准军制和职业军制）以及物价工资农业制度，在希特勒的治理下，只见风雷迅变，一个强大的德国拔地而起，他本人也取得了人类历史空前也很可能绝后的民选领袖的威望。 然而，同时，由于他的无限野心，也造就了世界历史上最可怕的战争灾难，当他一意孤行决定沿着亚历山大大帝的道路前进， “我决心登上人类历史的巅峰，俯视前人”时，他的利剑犹如疾风瞬间扫荡古老旧大陆上的几乎一切浮沉，尊贵的欧罗巴巨人不得不俯身拜倒，低下傲慢的头颅，向其匍匐称臣。很快其扭头长剑直指俄国平原，横扫千军，兵锋直逼莫斯科，当是时，五百年的王冠，飘荡在大海上，犹如浮萍，黑暗笼罩天幕，鲜血浸蚀大地，整个世界命途多坎。 于是，所有的勇士为了自由和生存，不顾一切地拔剑而起，反抗这个征服者，布尔什维克，金融主义者，殖民主义者在最可怕的对手面前，终于绝无仅有地放下了彼此之间的巨大成见，以前所未有的真诚团结在一起，角逐苦战三年，付出无比沉重代价之后，终于将这个盖世巨魔毁灭在一个不起眼的地堡里。 记得希特勒说过“我要让世界记住我一千年。”不错，他做到了，他真真正正做到了，我相信即使一万年以后，他依然会作为一个最重要的人物被后人记住。不过，面对这个史上最复杂最可怕最饱受谩骂的人，谁又能将他说得清说得客观呢？ 其实，今天，我们看待希特勒，完全不需要用那种古老陈旧的眼光，而应该用一种新的视角，分析希特勒的性格特点： 希特勒身上富有强烈的爱国主义情怀，这种看法相信大家从来都没有怀疑过，这种思潮使得他极端憎恨犹太人，因为犹太人的金融投机曾在一战中和一战后对德国经济带来毁灭性打击。而他因此对金融操控者犹太人的报复打击更是险些毁灭这个为世界人民所痛恨的民族。 我们可以从希特勒身上看到一种学识广博完美典范，比如，抛开他政治组织能力不说，他是一位过得去的画家，一位顶级的工程技术设计师（和保时捷博士共同设计了甲壳虫和虎式坦克的发动机），一位很有天赋的建筑设计师（参与了奥运会建筑的设计），一个高明的凯恩斯经济学的信徒（物本交易的创始者），一个人文知识极端渊博的演说家，还是一位军事上极其有见地的将军（他对各种先进武器和新兵种极有研究）。这些能力的具备使得他凡事都追求完美，极端自负，藐视任何人的资本，并给了他无比的自信让他怀有发动征服世界的战争的梦想并付诸实施。

阿道夫希特勒简介

阿道夫希特勒简介 　　关于阿道夫·希特勒 　　阿道夫·希特勒这个人物，客观的来讲，他的有些方面是不人道的，也非常极端的。这就不多说了，大家都知道。 　　很可笑的是，有一些人总是在贬低他，中伤他，诋毁他。我对那些言论都是一笑置之。 　　从现实出发，除了阿道夫·希特勒在当时谁也不能让德国迅速从新崛起！那些说他疯了或是他的智商有多么低下的人简直幼稚。 　　1933年1月30日，希特勒登上德国总理的宝座，当时他所面临的国家是一个饱受政治暴乱和外国欺凌的国家，经济上面临崩溃，随处可见得 　　失业工人、流浪＊＊乞丐，军事上被外国所压制，政治上乱七八糟。到处都鼓吹独立，要求脱离这个国家，失意军人和政客的暴乱此起彼伏； 　　法国、比利时、捷克和波兰都可以随意欺凌这个战败国。与此同时，腐朽的生活风气弥漫德国，同性恋、吸毒和犯罪散布整个国家，人们充满 　　了绝望。连德国人自己都要放弃了自己的祖国，正像一位法国外交官说的那样，“再过二十年，德意志将只是一个地理概念罢了。” 　　然而，外国观察家和德国人自己的判断却因为一个奥地利的流浪汉的崛起而变得错误。希特勒当上了德国总理，这个被评价为三流政治家 　　和空谈者的领导人，不停的奔波于德国各地，了解当地的情况，并做出符合当地情况的措施，修建大规模的项目，解决失业问题，任命专业的 　　人才，强化国家机构，日夜劳累，奔波不停。仅仅三年，德国的经济以每年100％多的速度实现了奇迹般的增长，失业消失了，德国人民重新过 　　上了富裕的生活，并唤醒了属于一个民族的荣耀。一般人他可能做得出来这样的成绩吗？要记住，这是从一个烂摊子发展出来的，这里面的困 　　难简直无法想象。而他所花的时间仅仅三年，就三年。 　　而且，这位人称三流外交家还收复了莱英区，宣示了对萨尔地区的 *** ，德国，不再崩溃，并重新站了起来。 　　从德国三十战争之后，不管是第二帝国还是哈布斯堡家族，都没有真正统一过德意志，德国奥地利合二为一是每一个日耳曼人千年不变的 　　梦想。无论是菲特烈大帝，还是卑斯麦宰相都没有真正意义上实现日耳曼地区的统一。希特勒从1936年就开始重建军备，利用英法的矛盾，娴 　　熟的施展外交技巧，从对手那里获得利益。两年后，他已经建立了比对手强大得多的武装力量，他看出了法国的无能，利用了英国对意大利和 　　苏联的畏惧，吞并了奥地利，并在同年1938年，吞并了捷克。后人对于慕尼黑谈判的批评从未间断，其实到了1938年，德国已经建立了相当强 　　大的军事力量，而他们的主要对手英法从未进行过军事上的准备，则是相当的虚弱，暂时无力进行这场战争，牺牲捷克是不得已的，从英国首 　　相张伯伦对法国总理达拉第的警告中我们可以很清楚的看出这一点。但是，从那以后，两国大大加快了武备速度，毫无疑问，越早发动战争， 　　对德国越有利。 　　仅仅五年，希特勒就把德国从一个废墟一样的战败国，改造成了整个欧洲最强大的国家，并不费一枪一弹真正意义上的统一了整个德意志 　　，就像丘吉尔描述的那样：从阿尔卑斯山到黑海地区，所有的国家都不得不向柏林的邪恶可耻地屈服，整个欧洲都会因为这个恶棍的一举一动 　　而吓得瑟瑟发抖。 　　即使那些最挑剔评论家也不得不佩服希特勒在战争初期所表现的果断和智慧。当被一战阴影所笼罩的柏林的军官们因为畏惧盟军而迟迟不 　　敢发动进攻时，希特勒愤怒了，他对他的亲信抱怨：“英国正在对我们进行封锁，敌人正在疯狂扩大他们虚弱的军力，而我们的战争储备是有 　　限的，现在我们的力量强过对手，必须进攻，否则我们一定会灭亡，战争形态已经改变。” 　　黄色计划是曼斯坦因将军提出的，这位后来在苏联战场上大放光彩的将军，当时还默默无闻，希特勒不顾陆军总司令布劳希契的反对，启 　　用了这个计划，并亲自做了修改，从战后的眼光来看，这些修改相当明智。通过阿登山区的进攻，大胆启用古德里安（这位将军从色当一直打 　　到法国沿海，完成了对盟军主力的包围）和隆美尔这些新人才。而且不得不提的是，在夺取荷兰大坝（荷兰希望毁掉大坝，来阻止德军）和列 　　日要塞（欧洲最坚固的要塞，盟军想用它迟滞德军一星期）的战斗中，希特勒亲自制定了这些关乎德军命运的战斗的作战计划，采用了前所未 　　有的新战术，以最小的损失夺取了胜利。 　　法国被击败，德国的耻辱被洗刷。 　　这一切一切铁的事实足已论证希特勒是一位治世能臣和军事上的智将，不知道哪位反对我这些言论的老兄是否可以在举例出谁会比希特勒 　　在如此复杂与短暂的时间内让一个国家有这般翻天覆地的强大吗？竟然还有些人说阿道夫·希特勒是军事上的 *** ，我对此只能说你回去多看 　　看历史书吧，老兄，别在这不懂装懂，就知道应和大流的声音。 　　再看看一组真实的数据吧。1933年希特勒刚上台时，德国经济几乎陷于停顿状态，失业人数高达600万，如果加上400万临时工，算上家属 　　，德国6600万人口中，几乎一半在饥饿和贫困线上挣扎。1933年2月1日，也就是希特勒上台的第三天，他就在广播电台发表《告德意志国民书 　　》，声称 *** 要“拯救德意志的农民，维持给养和生存基础！拯救德意志的工人，向失业展开一场大规模的全面进攻！”通过纳粹当局的努力 　　，到1938年德国失业率仅1。3％，而同时美国失业率为1。89％，英国为8。1％，比利时为8。7％，荷兰为9。9％。用纳粹党自己的话来说，就是创造了“ 　　消灭失业的经济奇迹”。 　　在我心中，我一直崇拜两个人物，一个是东方的曹操，一个是西方的阿道夫·希特勒。人才，绝对的人才。只不过两人最后的结局不同罢 　　了。但这并不影响我对他们的认可。

希特勒的“纳粹钟”是什么？真是外星人给的吗？

美国在第二次世界大战结束之后，就启动了“回形针”计划，这个计划主要是接收为德国效力的科学家，因为二战的德国完全是站在了“世界之巅”，他推出的一些高科技，让盟军损失惨重。不管是V-1、V-2火箭，还是喷气战斗机都是从见过的高科技，然而根据美国和苏联的解密文件来看，最神秘的恐怕是“纳粹钟”，关于“纳粹钟”并没有太多的记载，不过它的神秘在科学界广为流传，甚至有人推测“纳粹钟”是外星人给希特勒的武器。纳粹钟是德军高级将领卡勒姆所负责的一项科学实验，1943年正式开始启动，关于纳粹钟的传闻大多都是从德国和捷克的一些渠道收集到Bell的一些资讯。纳粹钟大约高：4到5米，宽3到4米，由于设计图类似于一种种，就称为纳粹钟，内部有两个反方向的圆桶，中间充满一种暗红色液体“IRR Xerum 525”，可能是钍 229 的同分异构物，钍在高速旋转当中会释放伽马射线。据说在一次实验当中造成了7个科学家的死亡，其他人出现眩晕，皮肤麻痒感、口中金属味的症状，附近植物也会在几小时和几周内腐败成一团棕灰色黏液，因此许多人觉得纳粹钟是一种堪比原子弹的杀伤武器，甚至是时空机器，但由于找不到原型，也只当是科学界的谜团。纳粹钟虽然是谜团，不过“纳粹铃”却是真真实实存在的，“纳粹铃”更像是UFO的动力，UFO在多次报道当中都是呈现一种飞碟形状，那么它们又是怎么摆脱地球的引力呢？其实爱因斯坦就关于这个发表了一个“挠场”说，也就是关于电磁力、引力、弱力、强力是研究，而纳粹铃刚好就是这种研究体，德国由于战败，纳粹铃的计划自然终止了，不过美国仿制了一个小纳粹铃，小纳粹铃的结构有两个反向旋转的圆柱形容器，一个套着另一个，里面充满了低温汞，功率只有100瓦，当旋转的时候具有一定的反重力效应。爱因斯坦指出，电磁挠场不仅仅可以让重力消失，还能够让时空扭曲，但效应是多样的，有时又会让金属扭曲，1979年哈奇森效应就在做特殊的线圈实验时，将一根非常坚硬的钼棒扭曲成了S形。电磁场其实就在我们身边，但并不是说时时刻刻都会发生“哈奇森效应”除非达到一个临界点，或者将能量集中到较小的区域，纳粹钟和纳粹铃的原理跟“哈奇森效应”倒是有相同的地方，若是能够扭曲时空，纳粹或许在二战时期就已经时空旅行了。

希特勒是不是得到了外星人帮助？纳粹钟隐藏了哪些秘密？

在二战时期，曾经在世界内许多地方都出现过不明飞行物，他们总是出现在战场周围，却又没有对战场产生任何影响，似乎只是在尽职的将每一场战斗收入眼底。关于这些不明飞行物，当时的人们也没有更多的发现。只是当时的盟军军队对这种飞行物产生过一定的怀疑，以为是德军研制出的，毕竟这种飞行物的性能着实的可怕，若是德军势力新研发出的武器，很可能会对战局产生不可预测的影响。而再看德国这边呢？显然他们也不清楚这些飞行物的来历，甚至还认为是盟军的最新科技。结果就是这样的一个神秘物体弄得两军为之惴惴不安，直到最后我们也未曾弄清这些飞行物为何会出现。但是在二战中还出现过，一种不亚于此的黑科技，而这个确确实实是由德军研制而出，而且由于其恐怖的性能，让人们一度以为是由外星人在暗中相助。这个黑科技就是“纳粹钟”。他长约4米，宽约5米，是一个像钟的圆柱形武器，可以进行飞行。其原理是利用原子聚能来控制核裂变，将之变成一个可以进行定向输出的恐怖武器。纳粹钟的具体功能我们已经无从得知，但有三种说法流传最广，也最为可信。其中一种是时间机器，可以利用他来扭曲时空，制造时空隧道。第二种就是上面说的定向武器，利用其飞行功能达到定点引爆的作用。第三种则是远程原子结构改变装置。根据已知记载，纳粹钟威力巨大，若是完全释放，周边必定寸草不生，所有的动物和植物都会在几分钟的时间里腐烂，变成像胶一个的物质，它的周边不会再出现任何一种生物存活的迹象。而当时的德军还未能了解到它真正的实力，为此还折损了几位科学家。根据幸存者记载回忆，当时他们的嘴唇特别麻木，还有着重金属般的异味，他们推测纳粹钟应该是一种生化武器或辐射武器，或者它处于现今科学仍未到达的领域。纳粹钟在现世之后，还没来得及展现威力，德军就已经战败，而纳粹钟却因此失去了踪迹。不过也幸好他在未投入使用之前就已经没了用武之地，否则世界多了这样一个武器，可能就又是一片生灵涂炭。

希特勒真的得到了外星人的帮助吗，神秘的“纳粹钟”可以用科学解释吗?

其实网络上穿得沸沸扬扬的纳粹钟是一个不折不扣的谎言，是人为想象出来的，在其他国家以至于德国本身也都没有关于这种武器的记录。战争本就会促进科学的发展，比如一战就促进了人工合成物质的发展，而二战最为明显的就是促进了军事工业的发展，而德国在二战期间的一些武器确实非常亮眼，还有许多被称为“黑科技”的武器，这也是很多人一直对与纳粹钟深信不疑的原因，下面就和小编了解一下这种武器是否真的存在吧。德国人有没有得到外星人的帮助德国的科技在当时确实有些领先于全世界，例如早期对原子能的研究德国是先行者，只是对这方面投入不大才使得美国人反超造出了原子弹，得益于德国当时出色的工业与制造业，座椅德国也是最早装备喷气式飞机与导弹的国家，但是因为当时已经是二战末期，所以这些武器并没有对战局产生绝对性的影响。那么德国人是否真的得到了外星人的帮助呢？答案当然是否定的。人类航空业经过了数百年的发展还不能走出太阳系，甚至人类去过最远的星球只是月球，而假设外星人来到地球帮助德国人，那么他们的科技一定是领先了地球成千上万年，以他们的科技帮助的国人占领地球易如反掌，但是最后德国还不是失败了吗，这说明德国并没有得到外星人的帮助，而德国武器先进得益于德国有着非常多优秀的科学家。纳粹钟可以用科学解释吗实际上目前纳粹钟的作用也是众说纷纭，并且越说越玄乎，有的说纳粹钟是反重力装置，还有的说这是一种生化武器，更夸张的是说纳粹钟可以使时光倒流，而纳粹钟的也是一个人们臆想出来的东西。首先并没有照片证明纳粹研发了这种武器，而网络上纳粹钟的照片大多是网友的自制，不具有说服力。并且在上个世纪，就算你翻遍所有史料也没有关于纳粹钟的记载，因为纳粹钟这个名词是在2000年出版的一本军事著作当中首次出现的，在之后经过了很多人的加工才变成了现在的神秘武器。所以可以这样理解，在2000年一个军事作家创造了纳粹钟这一武器，随后很多人进行了添油加醋的报道，最后这件武器的威力被描述的神乎其神，只要稍微经过推敲就知道是骗人的。像这样的离奇故事还有很多，比如希特勒逃到了月球或者北极建立了军事基地，当时忽悠了一大批人，现在想想也是觉得当时非常的幼稚。记得前几年网络上还有很多关于纳粹钟的消息，而近几年确实少了，这就说明大家的历史军事知识普遍提高，不会被这种谎言所欺骗了。

谁能找到 嗨希特勒的音效

Adolf Hitler was born on 20th April, 1889, in the small Austrian town of Braunau near the German border. Both Hitler's parents had come from poor peasant families. His father Alois Hitler, the illegitimate son of a housemaid, was an intelligent and ambitious man and later became a senior customs official.

Klara Hitler was Alois' third wife. Alois was twenty-three years older than Klara and already had two children from his previous marriages. Klara and Alois had five children but only Adolf and a younger sister, Paula, survived to become adults.

Alois, who was fifty-one when Adolf was born, was extremely keen for his son to do well in life. Alois did have another son by an earlier marriage but he had been a big disappointment to him and eventually ended up in prison for theft. Alois was a strict father and savagely beat his son if he did not do as he was told.

Hitler did extremely well at primary school and it appeared he had a bright academic future in front of him. He was also popular with other pupils and was much admired for his leadership qualities. He was also a deeply religious child and for a while considered the possibility of becoming a monk.

Competition was much tougher in the larger secondary school and his reaction to not being top of the class was to stop trying. His father was furious as he had high hopes that Hitler would follow his example and join the Austrian civil service when he left school. However, Hitler was a stubborn child and attempts by his parents and teachers to change his attitude towards his studies were unsuccessful.

Hitler also lost his popularity with his fellow pupils. They were no longer willing to accept him as one of their leaders. As Hitler liked giving orders he spent his time with younger pupils. He enjoyed games that involved fighting and he loved re-enacting battles from the Boer War. His favourite game was playing the role of a commando rescuing Boers from English concentration camps.

The only teacher Hitler appeared to like at secondary school was Leopold Potsch, his history master. Potsch, like many people living in Upper Austria, was a German Nationalist. Potsch told Hitler and his fellow pupils of the German victories over France in 1870 and 1871 and attacked the Austrians for not becoming involved in these triumphs. Otto von Bismarck, the first chancellor of the German Empire, was one of Hitler's early historical heroes.

Hitler's other main interest at school was art. His father was incensed when Hitler told him that instead of joining the civil service he was going to become an artist. The relationship between Hitler and his father deteriorated and the conflict only ended with the death of Alois Hitler in 1903.

Hitler was thirteen when his father died. His death did not cause the family financial hardships. The Hitler family owned their own home and they also received a lump sum and a generous civil service pension.

Klara Hitler, a kind and gentle woman, tended to spoil her son. Like her husband she was keen for Adolf to do well at school. Her attempts at persuasion achieved no more success than her husband's threats and he continued to obtain poor grades.

At the age of fifteen he did so badly in his examinations that he was told he would have to repeat the whole year's work again. Hitler hated the idea and managed to persuade his mother to allow him to leave school without a secondary education qualification. He celebrated by getting drunk. However, he found it an humiliating experience and vowed never to get drunk again. He kept his promise and by the time he reached his thirties he had given up alcohol completely.

When he was eighteen Hitler received an inheritance from his father's will. With the money he moved to Vienna where he planned to become an art student. Hitler had a high opinion of his artistic abilities and was shattered when the Vienna Academy of Art rejected his application. He also applied to the Vienna School of Architecture but was not admitted because he did not have a school leaving certificate.

Hitler was humiliated by these two rejections and could not bring himself to tell his mother what had happened. Instead he continued to live in Vienna pretending he was an art student.

In 1907 Klara Hitler died from cancer. Her death affected him far more deeply than the death of his father. He had fond memories of his mother, carried her photograph wherever he went and, it is claimed, had it in his hand when he died in 1945.

As the eldest child, Hitler now received his father's civil service pension. It was more money than many people received in wages and meant that Hitler did not have to find employment. He spent most of the morning in bed reading and in the afternoon he walked around Vienna studying buildings, visiting museums, and making sketches.

In 1909 Hitler should have registered for military service. He was unwilling to serve Austria, which he despised, so he ignored his call-up papers. It took four years for the authorities to catch up with him. When he had his medical for the Austro-Hungarian Army in 1914 he was rejected as being: "Unfit for combatant and auxiliary duty - too weak. Unable to bear arms."

The outbreak of the First World War provided him with an opportunity for a fresh start. It was a chance for him to become involved in proving that Germany was superior to other European countries. Hitler claimed that when he heard the news of war: "I was overcome with impetuous enthusiasm, and falling on my knees, wholeheartedly thanked Heaven that I had been granted the happiness to live live at this time. Rejecting the idea of fighting for Austria, Hitler volunteered for the German Army. In times of war medical examinations are not so rigorous.

Hitler liked being in the army. For the first time he was part of a group that was fighting for a common goal. Hitler also liked the excitement of fighting in a war. Although fairly cautious in his actions, he did not mind risking his life and impressed his commanding officers for volunteering for dangerous missions.

His fellow soldiers described him as "odd" and "peculiar". One soldier from his regiment, Hans Mend, claimed that Hitler was an isolated figure who spent long periods of time sitting in the corner holding his head in silence. Then all of a sudden, Mend claimed, he would jump up and make a speech. These outbursts were usually attacks on Jews and Marxists who Hitler claimed were undermining the war effort.

Hitler was given the job of despatch-runner. It was a dangerous job as it involved carrying messages from regimental headquarters to the front-line. On one day alone, three out of eight of the regiment's despatch-runners were killed. For the first time since he was at primary school Hitler was a success.

Hitler won five medals including the prestigious Iron Cross during the First World War. His commanding officer wrote: "As a dispatch-runner, he has shown cold-blooded courage and exemplary boldness. Under conditions of great peril, when all the communication lines were cut, the untiring and fearless activity of Hitler made it possible for important messages to go through".

Although much decorated in the war, Hitler only reached the rank of corporal. This was probably due to his eccentric behaviour and the fear that the other soldiers might not obey the man they considered so strange.

In October 1918, Hitler was blinded in a British chlorine gas attack. He was sent to a military hospital and gradually recovered his sight. While he was in hospital Germany surrendered. Hitler went into a state of deep depression, and had periods when he could not stop crying. He spent most of his time turned towards the hospital wall refusing to talk to anyone. Once again Hitler's efforts had ended in failure.

After the war Hitler was stationed in Munich, the capital of Bavaria. While Hitler was in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, Kurt Eisner, leader of the Independent Socialist Party, declared Bavaria a Socialist Republic. Hitler was appalled by the revolution. As a German Nationalist he disagreed with the socialist belief in equality.

Hitler saw socialism as part of a Jewish conspiracy. Many of the socialist leaders in Germany, including Kurt Eisner, Rosa Luxemburg, Ernst Toller and Eugen Levine were Jews. So also were many of the leaders of the October Revolution in Russia. This included Leon Trotsky, Gregory Zinoviev, Lev Kamenev, Dimitri Bogrov, Karl Radek, Yakov Sverdlov, Maxim Litvinov, Adolf Joffe, and Moisei Uritsky. It had not escaped Hitler's notice that Karl Marx, the prophet of socialism, had also been a Jew.

It was no coincidence that Jews had joined socialist and communist parties in Europe. Jews had been persecuted for centuries and therefore were attracted to a movement that proclaimed that all men and women deserved to be treated as equals. This message was reinforced when on 10th July, 1918, the Bolshevik government in Russia passed a law that abolished all discrimination between Jews and non-Jews.

It was not until May, 1919 that the German Army entered Munich and overthrew the Bavarian Socialist Republic. Hitler was arrested with other soldiers in Munich and was accused of being a socialist. Hundreds of socialists were executed without trial but Hitler was able to convince them that he had been an opponent of the regime. To prove this he volunteered to help to identify soldiers who had supported the Socialist Republic. The authorities agreed to this proposal and Hitler was transferred to the commission investigating the revolution.

Information supplied by Hitler helped to track down several soldiers involved in the uprising. His officers were impressed by his hostility to left-wing ideas and he was recruited as a political officer. Hitler's new job was to lecture soldiers on politics. The main aim was to promote his political philosophy favoured by the army and help to combat the influence of the Russian Revolution on the German soldiers.

Hitler, who had for years been ignored when he made political speeches, now had a captive audience. The political climate had also changed. Germany was a defeated and disillusioned country. At Versailles the German government had been forced to sign a peace treaty that gave away 13% of her territory. This meant the loss of 6 million people, a large percentage of her raw materials (65% of iron ore reserves, 45% of her coal, 72% of her zinc) and 10% of her factories. Germany also lost all her overseas colonies.

Under the terms of the Versailles Treaty Germany also had to pay for damage caused by the war. These reparations amounted to 38% of her national wealth.

Hitler was no longer isolated. The German soldiers who attended his lectures shared his sense of failure. They found his message that they were not to blame attractive. He told them that Germany had not been beaten on the battlefield but had been betrayed by Jews and Marxists who had preached revolution and undermined the war effort.

The German Army also began using Hitler as a spy. In September 1919, he was instructed to attend a meeting of the German Worker's Party (GWP). The army feared that this new party, led by Anton Drexler, might be advocating communist revolution. Hitler discovered that the party's political ideas were similar to his own. He approved of Drexler's German nationalism and anti-Semitism but was unimpressed with the way the party was organized. Although there as a spy, Hitler could not restrain himself when a member made a point he disagreed with, and he stood up and made a passionate speech on the subject.

Drexler was impressed with Hitler's abilities as an orator and invited him to join the party. At first Hitler was reluctant, but urged on by his commanding officer, Captain Karl Mayr, he eventually agreed. He was only the fifty-fourth person to join the GWP. Hitler was immediately asked to join the executive committee and was later appointed the party's propaganda manager.

In the next few weeks Hitler brought several members of his army into the party, including one of his commanding officers, Captain Ernst Roehm. The arrival of Roehm was an important development as he had access to the army political fund and was able to transfer some of the money into the GWP.

The German Worker's Party used some of this money to advertise their meetings. Hitler was often the main speaker and it was during this period that he developed the techniques that made him into such a persuasive orator.

Hitler always arrived late which helped to develop tension and a sense of expectation. He took the stage, stood to attention and waited until there was complete silence before he started his speech. For the first few months Hitler appeared nervous and spoke haltingly. Slowly he would begin to relax and his style of delivery would change. He would start to rock from side to side and begin to gesticulate with his hands. His voice would get louder and become more passionate. Sweat poured of him, his face turned white, his eyes bulged and his voice cracked with emotion. He ranted and raved about the injustices done to Germany and played on his audience's emotions of hatred and envy. By the end of the speech the audience would be in a state of near hysteria and were willing to do whatever Hitler suggested.

As soon as his speech finished Hitler would quickly leave the stage and disappear from view. Refusing to be photographed, Hitler's aim was to create an air of mystery about himself, hoping that it would encourage others to come and hear the man who was now being described as "the new Messiah".

Hitler's reputation as an orator grew and it soon became clear that he was the main reason why people were joining the party. This gave Hitler tremendous power within the organization as they knew they could not afford to lose him. One change suggested by Hitler concerned adding "Socialist" to the name of the party. Hitler had always been hostile to socialist ideas, especially those that involved racial or sexual equality. However, socialism was a popular political philosophy in Germany after the First World War. This was reflected in the growth in the German Social Democrat Party (SDP), the largest political party in Germany.

Hitler, therefore redefined socialism by placing the word 'National' before it. He claimed he was only in favour of equality for those who had "German blood". Jews and other "aliens" would lose their rights of citizenship, and immigration of non-Germans should be brought to an end.

In February 1920, the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) published its first programme which became known as the "25 Points". In the programme the party refused to accept the terms of the Versailles Treaty and called for the reunification of all German people. To reinforce their ideas on nationalism, equal rights were only to be given to German citizens. "Foreigners" and "aliens" would be denied these rights.

To appeal to the working class and socialists, the programme included several measures that would redistribute income and war profits, profit-sharing in large industries, nationalization of trusts, increases in old-age pensions and free education.

On 24th February, 1920, the NSDAP (later nicknamed the Nazi Party) held a mass rally where it announced its new programme. The rally was attended by over 2,000 people, a great improvement on the 25 people who were at Hitler's first party meeting.

Hitler knew that the growth in the party was mainly due to his skills as an orator and in the autumn of 1921 he challenged Anton Drexler for the leadership of the party. After brief resistance Drexler accepted the inevitable, and Hitler became the new leader of the Nazi Party.

Hitler's ability to arouse in his supporters emotions of anger and hate often resulted in their committing acts of violence. In September 1921, Hitler was sent to prison for three months for being part of a mob who beat up a rival politician.

When Hitler was released, he formed his own private army called Sturm Abteilung (Storm Section). The SA (also known as stormtroopers or brownshirts) were instructed to disrupt the meetings of political opponents and to protect Hitler from revenge attacks. Captain Ernst Roehm of the Bavarian Army played an important role in recruiting these men, and Hermann Goering, a former air-force pilot, became their leader.

Hitler's stormtroopers were often former members of the Freikorps (right-wing private armies who flourished during the period that followed the First World War) and had considerable experience in using violence against their rivals.

The SA wore grey jackets, brown shirts (khaki shirts originally intended for soldiers in Africa but purchased in bulk from the German Army by the Nazi Party), swastika armbands, ski-caps, knee-breeches, thick woolen socks and combat boots. Accompanied by bands of musicians and carrying swastika flags, they would parade through the streets of Munich. At the end of the march Hitler would make one of his passionate speeches that encouraged his supporters to carry out acts of violence against Jews and his left-wing political opponents.

As this violence was often directed against Socialists and Communists, the local right-wing Bavarian government did not take action against the Nazi Party. However, the national government in Berlin were concerned and passed a "Law for the Protection of the Republic". Hitler's response was to organize a rally attended by 40,000 people. At the meeting Hitler called for the overthrow of the German government and even suggested that its leaders should be executed.

In 1923 the German Government had to deal with a series of difficult problems. In January the French Army occupied the Ruhr because they claimed Germany was falling behind with her reparations. Workers in the Ruhr responded by going on strike which badly hurt the German economy. One of the consequences of this was rapid inflation. As people found their savings becoming worthless, they turned against their government.

On 13th August, Gustav Stresemann became the new Chancellor of Germany. When Stresemann decided to call off resistance to the French occupation of the Ruhr and to start paying reparations to the Allies again, Hitler decided it was time for him to become the new leader of Germany.

On 8th November, 1923, the Bavarian government held a meeting of about 3,000 officials. While Gustav von Kahr, the leader of the Bavarian government was making a speech, Hitler and armed stormtroopers entering the building. Hitler jumped onto a table, fired two shots in the air and told the audience that the Munich Putsch was taking place and the National Revolution had began.

Leaving Hermann Goering and the SA to guard the 3,000 officials, Hitler took Gustav von Kahr, Otto von Lossow, the commander of the Bavarian Army and Hans von Seisser, the commandant of the Bavarian State Police into an adjoining room. Hitler told the men that he was to be the new leader of Germany and offered them posts in his new government. Aware that this would be an act of high treason, the three men were initially reluctant to agree to this offer. Hitler was furious and threatened to shoot them and then commit suicide: "I have three bullets for you, gentlemen, and one for me!" After this the three men agreed.

Soon afterwards Eric Ludendorff arrived. Ludendorff had been leader of the German Army at the end of the First World War. He had therefore found Hitler's claim that the war had not been lost by the army but by Jews, Socialists, Communists and the German government, attractive, and was a strong supporter of the Nazi Party. Ludendorff agreed to become head of the the German Army in Hitler's government.
