Adolf Hitler
Transcript:
The rebellious Adolf Hitler was unlucky enough to have been caught in the radar of his angry father’s wrath at frequent intervals. Brought up in a normal middle-class family, domination was latent in his father’s personality. That had an immense impact on Adolf’s way of life and thought. A school dropout at 16, he replayed wars and battles in his mind. This was contrary to the ambition of taking up a career as an artist, which was always instantly overruled by his father. His failed attempt to get through the Vienna Academy led him to live a bohemian lifestyle painting postcards. In this period, the streak of ideology and desire to unite Germany with Austria germinated. Though he had never thought of joining the military, when the war started, he enlisted himself and fought for Germany.
