Adolf Hitler was born on the 20th of April 1889 in a small town in Austria called Brannua. He was raised in a broken home and was abused by his father while growing up. Hitler was known to have a keen interest in art and actually applied to an art school in Vienna but was turned down. He later began a career in the military as a messenger to deliver instructions to generals behind enemy lines and return with feed back to commanders. During his time as a corporal, Hitler received awards for bravery several times and was also given the highest military honor in Germany known as the “iron cross”. After the war, Hitler returned to Germany to begin his rise to power.
