He promised extremist remedies to the war and blamed almost everything on the Jews and Bolsheviks. By 1921, he was the unsaid leader of the National Socialist German Worker’s Party also known as the Nazi party.

He started using force to get his message across and with economic depression and political problems the Nazi Party grew stronger. As chancellor of a coalition government, he used dictatorial power and instituted anti-Jews laws. The events that led to WWII starting in 1939 due to Hitler’s invasion of Poland, was the process he started of German Militarization and territorial expansions. The majority of Jewish populations were conquered by Nazis and killed and by December 1941 Hitler declared war on the US. This drained Germany’s resources and in June 1944, the British and Americans landed in France.

Death

As the forces of the Red Army moved through Berlin in 1945, civilian and military casualties in Berlin rose. This did not stop Hitler as he still believed that the German Army would defeat Zhukov’s eight armies in Berlin. Any signs of surrender were dealt by the SS and by April 28th, Hitler received a report that the head of the SS had been in touch with the Allies wanting a surrender. As tension grew bolder he decided that being murdered would not be an option and suicide would be the fat of his and his newlywed. Moscow later declared the announcement of Hitler’s death was a trick and his death became a major political issue. By May 7th, Moscow was informed that Hitler’s body had been found dead.e
