Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler was a really bad man during the Holocaust and World War II. He killed so many innocent people that didn’t deserve to die. But Adolf had a lot of disappointments in his childhood that made him who he was during World War II and the Holocaust. Adolf’s childhood, why he joined the army and what he did in the army, and his death and how he died gives us an understanding of who he really was.
Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, Braunau am Inn, Austria. His parents names are Alois Hitler and Klara Polzl. Alois Hitler is 23 years older than Klara Polzl. Adolf’s siblings are Ida Hitler, Paula Hitler, Angela Hitler, Alois Hitler Jr., Otto Hitler, …show more content…
During the outbreak of World War I, Adolf Hitler applied to serve in the German army. On August 1914 Hitler was accepted into the army even though he was an Austrian citizen. Even though Hitler spent most of his time away from the lines he was present at multiple numbers of battles and was wounded at Summe(“Adolf”). Adolf Hitler was wounded at the battle Summe and was in a hospital for temporary blindness from a poison gas attack(“auschwitz”). Adolf remained in the army after the war(“military”). Adolf Hitler was awarded for bravery, receiving the Iron Cross First Class and the Black Wound Badge. The experience reinforced his passionate German patriotism and he was shocked by Germany’s surrender in 1918(“Adolf”). In 1920 Hitler joined the National Socialist German Workers Party.

At the concentration camps Jews had to wake up in the morning at 4 a.m. and were awakened by a kapo barking at them and they had to hurry and put on their shoes and have a few minutes for washing. For breakfast you must have a mess-tin if you don't have your mess-tin you get no food. After breakfast you go to morning roll call where all prisoners must line up in rows of ten and all must be there including the dead. You must not talk or move. After the morning role call you had to work with a tool or with your hands. The work is very hard. You have to carry sandbags from one point to another, you had to dig trenches, and you have to carry heavy stones. If you are not working hard enough you would be beaten. After work you get a quick lunch break. Then you go back to camp and survivors carry the prisoners that died. After that you go to evening roll call and you line up in rows of ten. The Kapos are counting the prisoners and the dead. The evening roll call takes hours to finish. After evening roll call you have dinner which was a cup of soup and bread if you saved it from breakfast. Then you return to your barrack and then the process starts all over again at 4 a.m. This is also where Adolf’s army killed about six million Jews and five million who he thought were
