The Riegn of Hitler

World War II. For most of us now, it’s just a tragic memory; A sad spot in the history of mankind. But for survivors of this cataclysm; it marked a hardening of the entire world.

We all know that, in the summer of 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Surbian Terrorist. That was the spark that triggered world war one.

After the Allieds won the war however, a heavy fine was imposed on Germany, as everyone else thought they were the biggest cause of the war.

The German people as a whole thought this was rather unfair, and in the 1930’s, the Great Depression hit Germany hard.

All these conditions made Germany ‘ripe for the plucking’ when Hitler set his greedy eyes on world domination. In the late 1930’s, Hitler was elected, and started right away on his plans for Germany’s future. Soon, most of the European continent lay under his power, save the British, who were putting a mighty fine struggle.

In Germany though, and all through his realm, Hitler was conspiring on his own projects. Soon, every Jew, Muslim, Jehovah’s Witnes, and everyone else who didn’t suit his purposes were in concentration camps, or fleeing for their lives to other countries.

Hitler’s cruelty in this matter is still wide renown, and immortalized in books such as; A Diary of Anne Frank and Facing the Lion, and in the Washington D.C. Holocost Museum. [Warning, due to the graphic nature of the museum, warning are placed outside.] The yellow star and purple triangle he used to lable his victims are still symbols of tyrany and oppression around the world.

It looked as if Hitler was winning the war; and this led to his downfall. Supremely confident of victory, Hitler invaded his own ally, the Soviet Union, and declared war on the Untited States at the same time. This ploy failed however, and with enemies pushing at either side, Hitler soon suicided, leaving Germany in turmoil.

As we all know, Germany lost the war. But really, did Hitler loose? He has been imortalized in books, movies, magazines and every other medium imaginable. Some fear him; others revere him.

Adolf Hitler certainly made one thing sure for himself; a special place in the history books, and a name that would last for hundreds of Generations to come.
