Hitler was actually a Hero of WWI and was given the equivliant of the Medal of Honor...
Durring a barrage with gas and High Explosive's, something like 50 men blinded and hardly able to breath, he also almost totally blind, formed them up into a line hand to shoulder and he led those men, each and everyone of them, out of that barrage and down deserted roads until they found medical treatment a town away while in the hospital recovering three officers who had paid for their commision came in and tried to get him to join their revolt against the leaders of germany. They were number one, Jewish and number two part of the communist party of all things, that is where is hatered of both peoples came about from. It festered over a long period of time and personal failures while attempting to become an artist.
He would go to the art school every so often and present his new work for consideration only to be told he wasn't good enough, and yet he was also always pointed in the direction of someone who would purchase even his work for something so he could have money for food and a place to flop. Well the art dealers tended to also be jewish, so even more hate built upon what he already held and on it went until he found himself in the brown shirts... wild huh?
His father was a minor civil servant and when he died provided his mother and siblings a small retirement check which they lived off of, Hitler used to do odd jobs and such to offset the lack of money and also supply himself with paper and pencils when he could. Even then as a young teen he dreamed of being an artist...
I've the two book bio on Hitler by a jewish author, who really did a fantastic job because he did not let personal emotion get in his way of recovering as much of the truth of Hitlers life and presenting it without coloring it, so people could learn to see what makes a Hitler and a leader of a NAZI party...
Even he started out with nobel ideals and christianity as his faith...
It's not so simple really, he was many things even though he died a evil occult worshiping zelot and beyond wackybobo...
