Adolf Hitler

[8] According to Kubizek, Hitler also fell in love with a young woman named Stephanie Jansten, for whom he wrote several love poems, but with whom he never even conversed.

Adolf Hitler

Hitler explained that the pair were communicating with nothing but eyes, but Stephanie married a young cavalry officer.

Adolf Hitler

Depressed by what happened, Hitler even plotted suicide, which he would carry out with Stephanie.

Adolf Hitler

After hearing about her admirer after World War II, Stephanie was shocked, but remembered receiving a strange and anonymous letter of proposal.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[8] Hitler, however, recovered from unrequited love quickly, took piano lessons, read, smithered poetry and painted.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Hitler later described his carefree time in Linz as the happiest of his life.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[8] The only fact that dimmed the joy of life was the mother's illness: Klara was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent surgery in January 1907.

Adolf Hitler

After Klara was discharged from hospital, Hitler tended to his mother, sister and the family finances.

[10] Mother's death The year brought more woes.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Hitler travelled back to Linz to take care of his mother, whose health was deteriorating.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Eduard Bloch, a Jewish family doctor for the Hitlers, described Adolf's care later in 1938: “He was most affectionately attached to his mother and observed her every move in order to assist her in even the smallest of things”.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Hitler's mother died a few days before Christmas Eve.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Dr Bloch recalled not seeing another young man so grief-stricken in his 40-year career, nor taking more than a small reward for normally expensive treatment.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Hitler was eternally grateful to Bloch for this and protected him as an exceptional case during subsequent Jewish persecutions.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[11] In the late summer of 1908, Hitler applied to the Academy of Arts for a second time, but was not successful this time either.

Adolf Hitler

Kubizek in turn excelled in his music studies and once upon returning from Linz, Kubizek found Hitler had moved unannounced away from their shared apartment.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

The blame was partly in the deteriorating monetary situation, but the deciding factor, in Kubizek's view, was that the unsuccessful Hitler no longer felt he was an authority on friendships.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[12] The artist in Europe lived through difficult times and, in addition to his dreams, Hitler, who lost both his parents, drifted into a bum.

Adolf Hitler

Hitler began to soar from the trough after getting out of the city's nighthut to a higher-quality men's dormitory, which had been funded by philanthropy from lineages such as the Rothschild.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[13] Hitler made a living by making water and oil paintings of the sights of Vienna, which he and his housemate Reinhold Hanisch sold.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

With sales and occasional subscription work, they got along reasonably.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

In 1910 Hitler could rent a small apartment and is said to have bought only the best quality colours, brushes and fabrics.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Cooperation with Hanisch was broken when Hitler informed the police that Hanisch had stolen a couple of paintings from him.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Later, before the Nazis' rise to power, Hanisch attempted to avenge his sentence of one week in prison by telling the press scandalous but coloured or made-up stories about Hitler's life in Vienna.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[14] In his book My Struggle Hitler recounted the awakening of his political thinking and anti-Semitism in Vienna.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

There he would also, for the first time, have realised his racial and national superiority.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[10] However, it is uncertain whether this is exactly how things happened, since the book cannot be regarded as a reliable source in all respects.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

It's written as a political memoir in a situation when Hitler probably felt the need to propagate with his text.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

In Vienna, Hitler also had Jewish friends, one of whom, as winter approached, he gave his overcoat.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[15] Many of his clients were also Jewish, as was the Hungarian merchant Neumann, the new broker of his boards.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Hitler, however, was fed up with the Habsburg Austria he considered weak, whose “racially and nationally shambolic capital like Babylon” he had experienced nothing but disappointments and misery.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Hitler, who felt no loyalty to Austria, had in 1909 failed to go to conscription calls and knew the calling authorities were looking for him.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Thus, after turning 24 and receiving his share of his father's inheritance, he packed up his belongings and left in May 1913 to join his 'true people' in Munich, Germany.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[14] [16] In Munich before the Great War In the spring of 1913, Hitler moved to the Bavarian capital Munich, in the Schwabing region.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[5] Hitler still painted for a living, reading and writing poetry.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

In Munich, he felt he could breathe and get along financially better than in more expensive Vienna.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Hitler led a semi-hermit life in his simple apartment, but in the evenings he engaged in long conversations about politics with his landlord, who, as he told, followed Hitler's long and frantic soliloquies with bewildered adulation.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[17] The views of Martti Luther, the founder of Lutheranism, on Jews were best exhibited in Munich.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[18] Various political movements, groups and secret societies operated there, many of which were very anti-Semitic in nature.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

If Hitler's anti-Semitism and disgust with Marxism had flared up in Vienna, here they were bound to gain more impetus.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Hitler still mostly, however, followed German domestic and foreign policy, as well as German-Austrian relations.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[19] The Austrian army reached out to Hitler in January 1914 and required him to come for an invite medical examination.

[20] Unlike in school days, he did not sniff or question orders.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Despite everything, the promotion to corporal already achieved in the first year remained Hitler's only one.

Missing leadership qualities, generally unmilitary behaviour and ungroomed uniform were to blame for this.

Adolf Hitler

[20] 220000 persons were awarded with this medal during the war.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

By comparison, 5.5 million persons were awarded the Iron Cross Class II.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[24] According to one account, [25] the award of the medal and the leave soon to be received may have been influenced by a feat at Courthiezy a few weeks earlier, in which Hitler dragged a company chief badly wounded by a grenade back to the lines of his own.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

This medal was awarded on the presentation of the regimental adjutant, Hugo Guttman.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[20] The story is reportedly not true, but is perceived as a demonstration of the mythology and deliberate misrepresentation of detail gathered around Hitler's military career during the era of National Socialism.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[25] Most likely Hitler received his badge of honour for the performance of the adjutant of his regiment after completing a combat messenger mission, which was widely regarded as both ordinary and dangerous.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

According to Oula Silvennoinen, who was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki, “Class I of the Iron Cross was clearly distributed more to staff troops like Hitler than to front soldiers, and the bravery shown on the battlefield was not so much driven by bravery shown on the battlefield as by proximity on staffs issuing honours.” [25] Wounds During the war Hitler participated in about 40 battles on the Western Front, [26] [27] including Ypres, Fromelles, Messines, Wytschaeten, Somme, Artois, La Basse, Arras, Chemin des Dames, Marne and La Montagne.

He lost his eyesight temporarily.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

[28] Hitler, transported to the war hospital at Pasewalk, feared that he would lose his sight altogether and was hysterical at times.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

According to Edmund Robert Forster, a psychiatrist at the hospital, his loss of vision may have been caused by psychological reasons.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

Forster also analyzed Hitler as a psychopath.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[29] End of war In early November, his eyesight was restored, but the momentary joy and relief was ruined by the overwhelming news of the end of the war with German defeat.

Adolf Hitler

[30] Shortly after the war, the bitter Hitler, who during his front service showed no anti-Semitism, relied on the backstabbing theory.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

The theory is that Jews and Jewish-led Communists worked on the home front for Germany's defeat so that they could take power in the manner of the Russian Revolution.


Question: What year did Hitler rise to power?

Adolf Hitler

[31] Although Hitler knew several of those who served in his unit were Jews, he swallowed the theory as such and later used it in his propaganda.

As a distinguished veteran, he may have remained in an army reduced to 100,000 men according to the demands of the Peace of Versailles.

During the Soviet Republic, he was elected by 19 votes in the Battalion Military Council election as a deputy confidante of his company, which basically meant participating in the revolutionary regime.
