I INTRODUCTION

“I want war To me all means will be right My motto is not 'Don't, whatever you do, annoy the enemy” My motto is 'Destroy him by all and any means.' I am the one who will wage the war!”.

Since the end of the National Socialist dictatorship and its criminal rule, critical engagement with the individual at the heart of this regime – Adolf Hitler (1889-1945 ) is unquestionably the central figure in the story of the Holocaust It was the combination of his virulent hatred of Jews and his success in creating a political movement that was able

to seize control of Germany that made the campaign to exterminate the Jews possible Upon achieving power, Hitler smashed the nation’s democratic institutions and transformed Germany into a war state, triggering the European phase of World War II

1 Chapter 1 Adolf Hitler

1.1 General Introduction

Adolf Hitler, the leader of Germany’s

Nazi Party, was one of the most powerful

and notorious dictators of the 20th century

Hitler capitalized on economic woes, popular

discontent, and political infighting to take

absolute power in Germany beginning in

1933 Germany’s invasion of Poland in 1939

led to the outbreak of World War II, and by

1941 Nazi forces had occupied much of

Europe Hitler’s virulent anti-Semitism and

obsessive pursuit of Aryan supremacy fueled

the murder of some 6 million Jews, along with other victims of the Holocaust After the tide of war turned against him, Hitler committed suicide in a Berlin bunker in April 1945

1.2 Story

On April 20, 1889, Adolf Hitler was born in Ranshofen, an Austro-Hungarian Empire town that united with the city of Braunau am Inn in 1938 In a family of six children, Hitler was the fourth kid His mother was Austrian, while his father worked as a customs inspector

When he was young, his mother lavished him with attention Hitler's father was a fairly dictatorial, irritable man who spanked his son as a method of raising him

At the age of 11, Hitler was sent by his father to a neutral school in Linz with the hope that Hitler would become a civil servant However, Hitler resisted the idea, becoming an academic depression with extremely bad grades

Hitler's father died in 1903 when Hitler was 13 years old With a pension and small resources, his mother was forced to provide for the family During thís time, Hitler was still skulking around at this time and envisioned himself as an artist

In 1906, Hitler, at 17 years old, moved to Vienna, the capital of Austria to take the entrance exam to the Vienna Academy of Arts However, Hitler's exam failed to score enough, and at the same time, Hitler's mother passed suddenly from cancer This was a very difficult time for Hitler as he had to make a living by hard work and living in a shack

Hitler traveled to Munich in 1913, where he pursued his artistic career and got involved in politics

1.3 Military Career of Adolf Hitler

In 1913, Hitler moved to Munich, in the German state of Bavaria When World War I broke out the following summer, he successfully petitioned the Bavarian king to be allowed to volunteer in a reserve infantry regiment

Deployed in October 1914 to Belgium, Hitler served throughout the Great War and won two decorations for bravery, including the rare Iron Cross First Class, which he wore

to the end of his life

Hitler was wounded twice during the conflict: He was hit in the leg during the Battle

of the Somme in 1916 and temporarily blinded by a British gas attack near Ypres in 1918

A month later, he was recuperating in a hospital at Pasewalk, northeast of Berlin, when news arrived of the armistice and Germany’s defeat in World War I

Like many Germans, Hitler came to believe the country’s devastating defeat could be attributed not to the Allies, but to insufficiently patriotic “traitors” at home—a myth that would undermine the post-war Weimar Republic and set the stage for Hitler’s rise

After Hitler returned to Munich in late 1918, he joined the small German Workers’ Party, which aimed to unite the interests of the working class with a strong German nationalism His skilled oratory and charismatic energy helped propel him into the party’s ranks, and in 1920 he left the army and took charge of its propaganda efforts

In 1929, determined to achieve political

power in order to affect his revolution, Hitler

built up Nazi support among German

conservatives, including the army, business,

and industrial leaders

In 1932, Hitler ran against the war hero

Paul von Hindenburg for president and

received 36.8 percent of the vote With the

government in chaos, three successive

chancellors failed to maintain control, and in Photo 1.3: Adolf Hitler accepted the presidency

late January 1933 Hindenburg named the 43-year-old Hitler as chancellor, capping the stunning rise of an unlikely leader

2 Chapter 2 The “Bloody” World War II

World War II was the biggest and deadliest war in history, involving more than 30 countries Sparked by the 1939 Nazi invasion of Poland, the war dragged on for six bloody years until the Allies defeated Nazi Germany and Japan in 1945

2.1 Historical situation of World War II

The instability created in Europe by the First World War (1914-18) set the stage for another international conflict - World War II - which broke out two decades later and would prove even more devastating Rising to power in an economically and politically unstable Germany, Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi Party, rearmed the nation and signed strategic treaties with Italy and Japan to further his ambitions of world domination Hitler’s invasion of Poland in September 1939 drove Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany, marking the beginning of World War II

2.2 Cause of World War II

 Deep Cause

After World War I (1914-1918), new conflicts of interests, markets, and colonies among imperialist countries arose The reason is due to the impact of the law of economic and political unequal development among capitalist countries in the imperialist era

In particular, the organization and division of the world according to the Versailles-Washington order was no longer suitable for the world situation at that time At that time,

it was imperative to have a new war between the imperialist countries to organize and redistribute the world

 Direct cause

The world economic crisis from 1929 to 1933 made the contradictions between the imperialist countries deeper and deeper This led to the rule of fascism in Germany, Italy, and Japan with the intention of causing war to redistribute the world

The perpetrators of the war were Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan However, the Western powers tolerated and made concessions, and created conditions for the fascists to cause the Second World War

At this time, between the imperialist countries gradually formed two opposing blocs: the British - French - American bloc and the German - Italy - Japan bloc These two imperial blocs clashed fiercely on the market and colonial issues But both saw the Soviet Union as a common enemy and wanted to destroy it

Accordingly, the British - French - American bloc made a compromise and made concessions so that the fascist bloc Germany - Italy - Japan pointed the spearhead of the war toward the Soviet Union With this policy, after annexing Austria to Germany, Hitler occupied Czechoslovakia in March 1939

However, that was not enough power for Germany to attack the Soviet Union Therefore, Hitler decided to attack the European countries first

On September 1, 1939, Germany opened fire on Poland Then France and Great Britain declared war on Nazi Germany World War II officially broke out

2.3 Nature of World War II

The period 1939 - 1941 (before the Soviet Union entered the war) was a senseless imperialist war of aggression The expansion of Nazi Germany in Europe seriously trampled on the sacred independence of the people, causing millions of innocent people to die

The period 1941 - 1945 (after the Soviet Union entered the war): was the war against fascism, protecting world peace led by the great powers of the Soviet Union, the United States, and Great Britain

2.4 Developments of World War II

World War II took place in two phases The most prominent is the war activities conducted between the two factions:
