Adolf Hitler Character Analysis

Hitler was the real-life German dictator and leader of the Nazi Party who rose to power as Führer in 1934, initiated World War II in Europe by invading Poland in September of 1939 and engineered the Holocaust. A fascist despot responsible for the deaths of millions—including six million European Jews who were murdered in concentration camps across Europe—Hitler’s racially-motivated ideology led to the systematic large-scale slaughtering of Jews and members of numerous other political, religious, and social minorities whom he and his followers deemed Untermenschen, or "subhuman.” Hitler committed suicide on April 30th, 1945, just two days after the death of Benito Mussolini, as Soviet troops advanced on his residence. Hitler is universally regarded as one of history’s most evil, “gravely immoral” figures.
