Germany when he was three years old from
a young age he became obsessed with
German nationalism and early on
expressed strong anti-semitic sentiments

vague as he also stood staunchly opposed
to both capitalism and communism many
view his early beliefs as a way to rebel
against his authoritarian father his
father had served the Austrian
government and wished his son to do the
same
however despite living on the border
between austria-hungary and Germany
Hitler ignored his roots in the First
World War

Belgium he fought in a number of the
major battles on the Western Front and
was twice decorated for bravery after
