    If I were to write an essay on Adolph Hitler I would first establish an outline.  I would include the following.

    I. Hitler the Man

    -Early childhood        -middle years   -adult years

    II. Articles and Books

    -Mien Compf

    III. Rise to Power

    -Propaganda against Jews

    -Ideology of the "pure race"

    IV. Accomplishments

    -Highway system

    -vacations for Germans

    -day care centers

    V.  Military Maneuvers

    -War with allies

    -Encampment and execution of Jews

    VI. Death

     

    One can not just focus on the horrific things that Hitler did but when writing an essay look at the man as a whole.  Who was he?  Where did he come from?  What influenced his views?  What abilities did he have that enabled him to become such a big power in Germany?

    Adolph Hitler (1889-1945) is perhaps the most hated person in history. He is most well known for his role in World War I, and for the atrocities he committed on the Jews killing about 6 million Jewish men, women and children. In addition his forces killed 5 million people considered by him to be racially inferior, having genetic defects or politically dangerous.

    He was a brutal person with no regard for life. He displayed no sense of principles or morality, using every possible means to put down his political opponents brutally to achieve his purpose.

    Hitler Ruled Germany as a dictator for 1933 to 1945. During this period he first built up very effectively military capability of Germany,  provoked World War II, and led Germany to spectacular victories, conquering most of Europe, before being forced into a crushing defeat.

    Hitler began his political career in 1919, immediately after end of World War I, and then quickly rose to power through Nazi party. His rise to power was primarily based on his opposition to the unequal treaty forced on Germany after World War I, on creating a feeling among the German People that they were superior to all other people of the world. and that under the leadership of Hitler they will be able to realize their dreams of proving their superiority to the world. Perhaps the hatred of Jews spread by Hitler was a part of creating this false notion among non-Jew Germans about the superiority and gaining popularity. Many of these ideas were contained in the the book Mein Kampf, a book he wrote while he was put in prison in 1923.

    When faced with the prospect of imminent capture by allied army in 1945, Hitler committed suicide by simultaneously chewing a cyanide capsule and shooting himself in the temple.
