He is the man who created history. His authoritative words changed the world forever. Countless of Innocent Jews and homosexuals died at his command. An Austrian-born German politician, Adolf Hitler led, what the world widely recognizes as, the Nazi Party. In 1923, he instigated a coup called Beer Hall Putsch in Munich which failed and drove him to prison. During his imprisonment term, he wrote his masterpiece “Mein Kampf” wherein he deftly promoted German nationalism, anti-semitism, anti-capitalism, and anti-communism with charismatic oratory and propaganda. He used his trial to gain publicity around the world and was released after serving only six months of his sentence. In 1929, Wall Street stock exchange collapsed and led to a worldwide recession which gave leverage to Hitler’s Nazi campaigning efforts. He promised the public a way out of their hardship and it was his oratory skills that won the Nazi party 6.4 million votes. He even swept the army and big industrialists off their feet and obtained great financial support for the Nazi party endeavours. Such was the power of the unforgettable and brutally harsh Hitler.
