Adolf Hitler: His Childhood and War Duties

Adolf Hitler: His Childhood and War Duties

Adolf Hitler was born an unimaginative yet skillful artist. During most of his early childhood, he made sketches of famous buildings and other structures. In school, he often drew in when he was supposed to studying. He barely ever created a painting that was imaginative or colorful.

Hitler was very impatient during his childhood, as his sister often called him “a scrubby little rouge”. Hitler was fairly interested in the history of Germans, and often claimed that Germans were the “master race”.

Hitler’s father, Alois Hitler, often nagged on Hitler to maintain his barely-surviving grades. When Alois passed away while Hitler was 16, Hitler’s grades slipped, and dropped out of school.

The years Hitler spent as dropouts were fairly enjoyable, as he spent many a days with his friend, Gustl.

Gustl was a perfect friend for Hitler. Like Hitler, Gustl liked the arts. Gustl was a musician, and liked to listen. Hitler could ramble on with Gustl without Gustl saying a thing.

Gustl remained as Hitler’s friend until Hitler was 18, the year his mother died. Hitler moved from Linz, Austria, to Vienna, the capital of Austria. Hitler was interested in the big city.

In Vienna, Hitler was forfeited of all school of arts and became a tramp, surviving on whatever he could find. The police had been after him for being a dawdleanger, and eventually, he was caught, but released when recognized he was not a threat.

Adolf later moved to Munich, in Germany, the “fatherland” of all German peoples. During the years in Germany, Hitler lived a similar life-barely surviving off of paintings and postcards he drew for sale.

World War I

On August 1, 1914, Germany declared war against rival world superpowers: France, Britain and Russia. World War I had begun.

This was barely bad news to Adolf Hitler. Adolf had longed for a change in his miserable life. So Hitler joined the German military in the 16th regiment. Hitler remained a powerful solder in the battlefield, and was honored many times.

After World War I, Germany had lost the war and was forced to pay for a series of charters from France and Russia. Adolf was a brave solider in the battlefield. He had saved the day several times, and received several metals for his great honor. Hitler enjoyed this new variation in his life, and his performance was so well known, an officer claimed “he never let us down”, even though Hitler received the most dangerous duties.

Hitler took in a terrier dog when it wondered into regiment 16. The terrier followed Hitler, even after the war.

In France of October 1916, Hitler was wounded critically in the leg, which left him no choice but to return to Germany. Later, in October 14th, 1918, while it was clear that Germany was losing, Hitler was hit by a gas shell, blinding him temporary. His eyesight returned in November 9th, two days before the end of the World War.
