Hitler 5 Ws

Who: Adolf Hitler

What: Important dictator of Germany, responsible for the murder of 11,000,000 people


When: He lived from April 20th, 1889-April 30th, 1945. He was the dictator of Germany from 1934 until his death.


Where: He was born in a small town on the border of Germany and Austria. Dropped out of school at 16 and moved to Vienna. Hitler struggled as a painter and at 21 he bacame a street bum living in a homeless shelter.

Why: When his mother died (when he was 13), his life started to fall apart. But after 6 years in a homeless shelter, Hitler took over his father's estate and moved to Munich. He went back to school, and persued a career in polotics. Hitler fought through the bad times and eventually became one of the most feared dictators ever to rule in the history of the world.

His connection to the Free Masons is that they both were a part of huge organizations with radical ideas of their time. They both had alot of power, wich they exorcised at will.

ok. so.
i think that your connection is really good, but there are a few things about hitler...
for one, i think you might be interested to know that when he was still depressed and insignificant and living on the streets, thats when he got his retarded idea for the holocaust.
he even wrote a book about it called "mine kuemf" im sure of the spelling, but it means my plan.
and everyone thought he was a crazy madman [so true though] and they burned the books.
another thing is that it is rumored that his great grandmother was Jewish, so that just goes to prove how much of a heartless, disturbed man he really was.
Anyway, i lik your blog a lot, you just might want to research hitler a little more...
:] good job!

Thanks for the comment
the part about when hitler wrote books about what he was going to do for the holocaust, and the people burned them, I had no idea that happened thanks. That event just goes to show how much of a resilient man he is. I'm not sticking up for him or anything (he sucks) but when you think about it, he had a dream (a very, very, very bad one but still) and followed it no matter what people said or did. I kinda wish that he wasn't resilient and had just given up and be homeless until he died, that would have been better. Anyway thanks for all the great info on Hitler, I'll be sure to use it during the project (but don't hold me to that, it was more like one of those paring sentences where you want to try to sound nice to get a lasting impression you know?) -Happy
