On September 29, 1955 a man by the name of Phillip Citroen told a former member of his base that while he was working for a railroad company, he had met an individual who strongly resembled and claimed to be Adolf Hitler. Citroen had met this individual at a place called "Residencies Coloniales" in Tunja, Colombia. Citroen also showed his coworkers an picture of him and the alleged Hitler. This image was borrowed for a few hours to be reproduced, but unfortunately the negatives were too poor to be copied, and the photo was returned and was no longer easily gainable again.
There has been many counts of German Nazi soldiers that have used dead soldiers that looked similar to themselves and dressed them with their clothing to make it seem as if they were dead and escaped to South America, many believe that Hitler did this same thing. But the Soviets and then the Russian Federation claim to have the remains of Hitler and his wife, Eva Braun. But …show more content…
Intelligence put out. When pressed the official put the chance that Hitler escaped to South America at five percent. Even though suspicious and out of character the story of the KGB is simpler and way more plausible than Hitler living in South America for years. And although it was documented that Hitler was suffering from Parkinson’s, his health might’ve improved if Hitler stopped taking all the drugs he was given on a daily basis. According to eye witness accounts say that Hitler lived until 1966. But in 2017 a 128 year old man allegedly announcement that he was in fact Adolf Hitler. He claimed that he has been in hiding for 70 years. In 1945 this man states that he gained a passport from an gestapo and escaped to south america. Sadily no further information was

Hitler's Oppression Of Jews During The Holocaust

...Adolf Hitler was chancellor of Germany during the holocaust. Hitler came to power in 1933, during this time Germany was experiencing economic troubles. Hitler convinced the people of Germany that if they destroyed the inferior races of people in their way, that Germany would prosper. (Jewish Virtual Library) "The Nazis sought to annihilate all Jews and all enemies of the state. Every Jew was to be wiped out, but not necessarily every Russian, Serb, or Yugoslavian. That millions of non-Jews were also killed demonstrates the determination and magnitude of the Nazi extermination program to eliminate anyone who could even remotely be considered an enemy of the state". (Overlooked millions) Hitlers goal was to take out every possible nearby threat, so that Germany could grow and become a large world...

Holocaust

...The Holocaust The Holocaust The Holocaust 2 At the beginning of the 1930s, Germany was under stress of recuperating after the First World War. Germany was in need of a leader to lead them through the hard times of recovering after a war, with no help from other countries. A man by the name of Adolf Hitler stepped up to the challenge. His goal was to lead Germany out of their troubles and make them a world power. Through this plan, many different courses of action were beginning to take place. As part of becoming a world power, Hitler, wanted to make Germany larger and fill it with what he considered a “perfect people”. These perfect people were those of blonde hair and blue eyes, which ironically enough, Hitler lacked. This course of action is now commonly known as The Holocaust. These perfect people also had to be pure, that means that no homosexuals, gypsies, nor Jews would be living in the land controlled by Germany. To achieve this goal, Hitler and the rest of Nazi Germany, created concentration and extermination camps to put the people that did not meet the requirement of being a perfect people. Two of these camps were named Auschwitz, which is in present day Poland, and Dachau, near Munich. The Holocaust 3 As referred to earlier, there were two different types of camps created by the Nazis. The first one is a concentration or work camp. The first camp, Dachau...

Eric Fromm Escape From Freedom

...Eric Fromm’s book Escape from Freedom was written in the mid-20th century and goes through the social conditions that arose in Germany with the rise of the Nazi party and Adolf Hitler. The central theme throughout the chapters seems to be the political theories of that time period and social characteristics of Germans. I found some of Fromm’s arguments were hard to understand because his perspective on human development didn’t really get to the point until the end of the chapters. Nevertheless, I found he made some positive and negative arguments on how people develop their own sense of freedom within society. I think his idea of individualism portrays the ideology of Hitler’s being in society and how Hitler thinks that his actions and arguments are the only justifiable decisions as a means to an end....

Aldof Hitler

...dictators is brought up who comes to mind? Most anyone will say Adolf Hitler. Why was he so cruel? What drove his hatred for the Jews? Why did he want a so-called "perfect" race? Well the answer to all these questions might be answered from Hitler's childhood. Adolph Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria. He was the son of Alois, a customs official, and Klara Hitler. Alois was a very mean and stern father. His death, in 1903, came as a relief to Adolf. His relationship with his mother was totally opposite than his relationship with his father, Adolf idealized his mother so when she died in 1907 it was a very traumatic experience to him. This led to many problems, especially school. While living in Vienna, Hitler made his living by drawing small pictures of famous landmarks, which he sold as post cards. But he was always poor. He was also a regular reader of a small paper, which claimed that the Arabian race was superior to all and was destined to rule the world. The paper blamed Communists and Jews for all their problems and Hitler agreed to those views. Hitler agreed with most of the points made in the publication. He continued to live a poor life in Vienna and in 1913 decided to move to Munich. Still living in Vienna and being Austrian by birth, Hitler showed more loyalty to the country of Germany. He thought that the Aryan race was destined to rule the world. Many believe that he tried to escape the draft but it was never proven. His life in Munich was not...

Holocaust

...Nazis that resided in Germany during World War II. Hitler was the leader of the Nazis. He felt that the Nazis were superior to the lower classes, such as the Jews, Gypsies, disabled, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, Communists, and Socialists. There were many groups that were persecuted by the Nazis but the Jews were the group that the Nazis targeted the most. The Nazis killed over at least six million Jews. The Hitler demanded the extermination of the Jews because he felt they were to blame for Germany’s lost during World War I. This paper will explain: how Adolf Hitler came to power, the pre-war experience of German Jews; the treatment of the German Jews during the war; the implementation of “Final Solution” and why this event should be considered the most destructive event, committed by members of the human, in history. Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1919. This was considered the interwar period for Germany. When Germany lost in World War I the German leaders had to sign the Treaty of Versailles. This document was sign on May 7, 1919. The treaty put limits on Germany. It caused them to have to give up territories, reduce their military, and “perhaps the most humiliating portion of the treaty for defeated Germany was Article 231, commonly known as the “War Guilt Clause,” which forced the German nation to accept complete responsibility for initiating World War I. As such Germany was liable for all material damages…” This is one thing that caused Germany and the Nazis to blame...

Hitler and Mussolini

...Kaitlyn Daignault December 2, 2012 Research Paper Hitler and Mussolini The relationship between Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini helped to instill fear throughout the rest of Europe through the 1930s and 1940s. The powerhouse duo was very similar in many ways including persuasion and public speaking; however they also had different key qualities to make them unique. Having risen to power years earlier during the 1920s, Benito Mussolini was the senior of the two, and an initial inspiration and mentor for a young Adolf Hitler. Mussolini’s ideas of a fascist Italy became a building block for Hitler and Nazi Germany. However, early on their relationship was not a good one as Mussolini saw himself as superior. Mussolini had little respect for Hitler and the Nazi Germany as a whole. He did not agree with Hitler’s beliefs regarding racialism and his desire of an Aryan race. As time continued Mussolini’s view of Nazi Germany and Hitler would change completely. As the Germans became the powerhouse of Europe, Mussolini was forced to take a backseat to Hitler throughout World War II. A young Benito Mussolini began his rise to power in Italy as early as 1918. It is then that he realized that in order for Italy to grow as a dominant force in Europe, a dictatorship was necessary. With his good looks and his persuasive speeches, a young Mussolini was able to gain the support of the Italian people. Although the content of his speeches was often incorrect, opinions contradictory...

Life of Adolf Hitler

...Born in the Austrian town of Braunau on April 20, 1889, Adolf was the fourth child of Alois Schickelgruber and Klara Hitler. By 1900, young Adolf's talents as an artist surfaced. He did well enough in school to be eligible for either the university preparatory school or the technical/scientific Realschule. Because the technical/scientific Realschule had a course in drawing, Adolf enrolled in there. Adolf suffered from frequent lung infections, and he quit school at the age of 16, partially the result of ill health, but mainly the result of poor schoolwork. In 1906, Adolf traveled Vienna to seek his fortune, but he wasn't able to get admission to any prestigious art school. Hitler spent six years there, living on a small amount of money left for him from his father supplemented with an orphan's pension. On the verge of becoming penniless by 1909, he wandered Vienna as a transient, sleeping in bars, flophouses, and shelters for the homeless, including, ironically, those financed by Jewish philanthropists. It was during this period that he developed his prejudices about Jews, his interest in politics, and the sharpening his debating skills. Vienna was a center of anti-Semitism, and the media's portrayal of Jews as scapegoats with stereotyped attributes did not escape Hitler's fascination. In May 1913, Hitler, trying to avoid military service, left Vienna for Munich, the capital of Bavaria. In January, the police came to his door bearing a draft notice...

...consolidation of Nazi power in 1933-34. Due to the Wall Street Crash in 1929 the economy crashed all over the world, but none worse than in Germany. Due to the World War 1 payback, Germany was already suffering economically and they were only keeping afloat with the funds from US investors, but with the Wall Street Crash the investors withdrew their money from Germany resulting in businesses all over Germany collapsing; bankruptcy becoming nationwide and unemployment levels leapt upwards. The economic impact of this led many counties to move to protect their own domestic industries, resulting in high tariffs. In March 1930 and May 1932, the German Chancellor, Heinrich Bruning, pursued an orthodox economic policy of ridge deflation. The deflation involved increasing taxation and decreasing government expenditure. Then in July 1931, Germany suffered a major banking crisis. The country’s biggest banks, the Danat, went bankrupt.

...Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889; though Austrian by birth, Hitler became the leader of the German Nazi Party. Hitler was ruler of the party from August 2, 1934 to April 30,1945. Hitler served in the Bavarian Army, a part of the German military, during WW1. Rising through the ranks, Hitler was awarded the Iron Cross First Class. Hitler was wounded and blinded for a temporary amount of time by a British gas attack. In 1919, Hitler became part of the German Worker's Party, dubbed later as the Nazi Party, soon becoming one of it's leaders. In 1923, he tried an overthrow in Munich to seize power in Bavaria, a step necessary to the control of Germany. The revolt was terminated quickly; sending Hitler to prison for nine months. Hitler used his trial to gain national political notoriety and used his time in prison to write his memoir, Mein Kampf. The sales of the book/memoir made him a very wealthy man, though he hid that fact from the German people. After being released, Hitler restructured the Nazi Party, making it a new political force. By June of 1932, it had grown to being the biggest political party in German Parliament, the Reichstag. Though Hitler lost the 1932 presidential election to war hero Field Marshal Paul Von Hindenburg, he was able to use the power of the Nazi Party and its popularity among conservative voters to negotiate an appointment for himself as Chancellor of Germany in January 1933. His ideas of antisemitism, anti-communism and a purity-of-the-Germanic-race...

The Origins of the Second World War

...vital personality, violently anti-bourgeois and anti-Christian” person. He attended Oxford University and made a post-graduation in history in Vienna. After that, he became a political and diplomatic historian. In 1961 he published his most controversial book, The Origins of the Second World War, where he proposed a new and uncomfortable picture of Hitler – the Chancellor and Head of State of Germany between 1933 and 1945. Likewise, Origins seems to evidence numerous inconsistencies and contradictions in his own theories. In this essay, based on “Hitler’s Foreign Policy” chapter from the previously mentioned book, we will discuss the author’s opinion on the main character, regarding historical facts. Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 in Austria. When younger he was already considered as being a resentful, discontented and of unstable temperament child. He was deeply hostile towards his authoritarian father, and strongly attached to his mother. Later on, he went to Vienna where he acquired his first education in politics and that was when his brutal, violent side and his concerns with the ‘purity of blood’ started to arise. In 1919, Hitler joined a political party created and developed during the post-World War I era – the Nazi party. It was anti-Marxist and was opposed to the democratic post-war government (Weimar Republic) and the Treaty of Versailles; and it promoted extreme Nationalism as...
