Adolf Hitler

'Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all', said the head of the Nazi Party and the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Adolf Hitler. He was the Chancellor of Germany during the Third Reich and the chief mastermind behind World War II. Known to the world as the indomitable 'Fuhrer', he was responsible for the mass and systematic extermination of millions of Jews and non-Aryans, whom he deemed unfit or inferior to the ideal 'Aryan' race. He was also a prolific writer, artist and a militarist, known for his exceptional leadership talents and his effervescent nature. On April 30, 1945, he committed suicide, shooting his wife and himself in the mouth with a pistol.
