Adolf Hitler's Power In Germany

Q8. Adolf Hitler was a dangerously strong dictator when he came to power in Germany. Hitler had made it his goal to get back all of the land that had been taken from Germany during the signing of the Versailles Peace Treaty. Throughout the very long list of revisions, there had been many territorial revisions. For example, the Polish Corridor, Austria, Czechoslovakia and the Sudetenland, and demilitarizing the Rhineland.
