Adolf Hitler(1889-1945)
Adolf Hitler was a dictator to the core. Just as other dictators he appeared in Germany at the time of Political vacuum in that nation, created by inefficient leadership which was unable to face the economic disaster of the defeated Germany after the World War I .
Hitler started as a patriot who was genuinely interested in the welfare of German Nation. He was democratically elected to Power in 1933. Within a short time by his untiring efforts Hitler was able to rebuild the father-land from scratch to super power. Hitler oversaw one of the largest infrastructure improvement campaigns in German history, leading to the construction of dams, autobahns, railroads, and other civil works. It was said Hitler adopted to Vegetarianism from 1938, but what came out of his mouth was venomous fire of hatred, which resulted in the extermination of six million Jews during the World War II called "The Holocaust, a programme of systematic state-sponsored murder by Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, throughout the German Reich and German-occupied territories" . The life history of this multifaceted man is a lesson for humanity as to how unbridled power could migrate from heart to head to change a man to monster.
The World at War:
"The World at War" is a 26-episode television documentary series on World War II and the events leading up to and immediately following it produced by Thames Television for BBC. Sir Laurence Olivier has given the commentary for this series. It is an anthology of visual documentaries collected from the archives of all the Nations that had participated in the World War II. I have seen this wonderful series and I would consider this as a must to watch for people interested in the true History of World War II. For any one who has the interest and patience can see this wonderful documentary which is available in the following weblink.
