Adolf Hitler1. THE BEGINNING        At half past six on the evening of April 20th, 1889 a child was born in the small town of Branau, Austria.  The name of the child was Adolf Hitler.  He was the son a Customs official Alois Hitler, and his third wife Klara.          As a young boy Adolf attendated church regulary and sang in the local choir.  One day he carved a symbol into the bench which resembled the Swastika he later used as the symbol of the Nazi party.  He was a pretty good student.  He received good marks in most of his classes.  However in his last year of school he failed German and Mathematics, and only succeeded in Gym and Drawing.  He drooped out of school at the age of 16, spending a total of 10 years in school.  From childhood one it was his dream to become an artist or architect.  He was not a bad artist, as his surviving paintings and drawings show but he never showed any originality or creative imagination.  To fullfil his dream he had moved to Vienna the capital of Austria where the Academy of arts was located.  He failed the first time he tried to get admission and in the next year, 1907 he tried again and was very sure of success.  To his surprise he failed again.  In fact the Dean of the academy was not very impressed with his performance, and gave him a really hard time and said to him "You will never be painter."1  The rejection really crushed him as he now reached a dead end.  He could not apply to the school of architecture as he had no high-school diploma.  During the next 35 years of his live the young man never forgot the rejection he received in the dean's office that day.          Many Historians like to speculate what would have happened IF.... perhaps the small town boy would have had a bit more talent....or IF the Dean had been a little less critical, the world might have been spared the nightmare into which this boy was eventually to plunge it.  2. WORLD WAR I        While living in Vienna Hitler he made his living by drawing small pictures of famous landmarks which he sold as post cards.  But he was always poor.  He was also a regular reader of a small paper which claimed that the Araban race was

superior to all and was destined to rule the world.  The paper blamed Communists and Jews for all their problems and hitler agreed to those views.  Hitler agree with most of the points made in the publication.  He continued to live a poor live in Vienna and in 1913 decided to move to Munich.  Still living in Vienna and being Austrain by birth, Hitler showed more loyalty to the Geramny.  He thought that the Aryan race was destined to rule the world.  Many believe that he tried to escape the draft but it was never proven.  His live in Munich ...
