By Elizabeth 

Adolf Hitler was born of April 20, 1889, in the town of Braonau, Austria. He was the fourth child of Alois Shickelgruber and Klara Hitler. Really, he was an only child because two of his siblings died of Diphtheria and his other sibling died shortly after birth. When he was three, his family moved to Passau. There, his brother Edmond was born.

Eleven years passed, and Hitler’s father died of bad lungs.Four years after the death of his father, his mother died of Breast Cancer. During her diagnosis, she was treated by a Jewish doctor, but despite all his efforts, she died on December 21, 1907.

In May 1913, Hitler was sentenced to a year in prison, and had to pay a fine for enlisting in the army, and being found to weak, and unfit for the army. While he was in prison, he heard about World War I, and his passion against foreigners grew.

When he was released, he went and fought against the British and the Belgians. Many times he escaped near death, and was awarded two Iron Crosses of Bravery.

Finally, Hitler rose to power, and launched World War II. He was defeated many times, and during the war, people tried to kill him, but were unsuccessful. Finally, on April 30, 1945, his newly wed bride, Eva Braun, joined him in suicide.
