How Did Germany Fall Under Adolf Hitler

Improved Essays
The great continent of Europe, facing the cruel dictatorship of Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, struggled to stand back on its feet to its bygone pride, as if the fire was undefeatable and it was just a matter of time for all European countries to fall under Hitler.
