In brief, born in the late 19th century in Austria. His father was abusive and he latched onto female role models. He wanted to attend an art school in Vienna, but was rejected because he could only paint landscapes. After that he signed up to fight in the first Wold War, had a relatively successful time in the army, and then left. After that he started getting political and angry at the Treaty of Versailles - especially Article 231 that placed all the blame for WWI on Germany. In 1923 he tried to overthrow the government in a very unsuccessful coup called the Beer Hall Putsch (it actually started in the beer hall), and was arrested. While he was in jail he wrote a book called Mein Kampf (my struggle) and further refined his political ideas. After he got out he managed to get himself elected and then made chancellor through a series of crafty moves (one of which was most likely burning down the Reichstag and blaming it on Communists and Jews). From there he declared himself Fuhrer and started invading other countries (like Anchluss, when he rolled tanks through Austria). I assume you know how that war ended for him, but if you need more information, Hitler, like his dad, was pretty abusive from what we know. Hitler had no children, but I've heard it said once or twice that Eva Braun was rumoured to have been pregnant during the last few weeks. EIther way, she died along with Hitler in a bunker under Berlin. We're not sure how it happened (he had been shot and poisoned, but in what order we don't know). Because the fuhrerbunker was bombed out during the assualt on Berlin they were only able to identify Hitler based on dental remains. That's all I can do. Hope it helps.

Hope that helps.
