Eva Hitler

Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889-April 30, 1945), an Austrian-born German politician and leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, commonly known as the Nazi Party, was Chancellor of Germany from 1933 until his death. After the 1934 death of German President Paul von Hindenberg, he declared himself Führer und Reichskanzler, and ruled the country as an absolute dictator of Germany.

Hitler's goal was to establish a "New Order" of absolute Nazi German hegemony in Europe, achieving this through seizing Lebensraum, or "living space", for Aryan people, rearming Germany and invading numerous countries in Europe; the invasion of Poland led to the outbreak of World War II. Before and during the war, Hitler's Nazi forces engaged in countless acts of violence, including the murder of more than 17 million people, 6 million of whom were Jewish. His death came by suicide as Allied forces had invaded Germany and Soviet forces closed in on Berlin.
