Childhood

Edmund and his sister Paula. By the age of six

the schools choir and was seriously
thinking of becoming a priest when he was older.
He would spend his time reading western cowboy
books that talked about how the white men would
always defeat Native Americans. He would become

read this book even as a Fuhrer. His brother
Edmund would die, at the age of six, this was a
great hit for Adolf. To make it worse, Edmund was

Adolescence

about his career choice. Adolf wanted to become a
artists and his father wanted him to become a
civil servant. In high school Adolf had good
grades, but was still falling math. In January,

hemorrhage followed by Hitlers mother in1907,
leaving him alone with enough money to live well.
He moved to Vienna and applied for the School of
Fine Arts twice and was rejected. He started an
irregular live, painting views of the city in
posters and selling them to passers, sleeping on
different hostels everyday. During this time
Hitler developed half formed ideas of politics
and philosophy as he read unsystematically
becoming passionate about social issues .
After the assassination of Franz Ferdinand,
Hitler joined the Bavarian army. Escaping death
a number of times he was given two Iron Crosses
for bravery. After four years of being in the
trenches Adolf was wounded and blinded for some
time because of chlorine gas. As he recovered
from his injuries some Jews were leaders of
abortive revolutions that inspired, in part, his
hatred towards Jews and communists as well.
