Summary
This article contains useful information about Adolf Hitler's life as a child, as a soldier, and as a leader. It also talks about the rise of the Nazi Party and the terrible things he did to Jews. There is also information on Hitler's victory and what lead to his death.

Main Evidence
                Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn, Austria. At the age of sixteen  he left school because he wanted to be a painter.

In May 1913 Hitler left Vienna for Munich and, when war broke out in August 1914, he joined the Sixteenth Bavarian Infantry Regiment, serving as a despatch runner. Hitler proved an able, courageous soldier, receiving the Iron Cross (First Class) for bravery, but did not rise above the rank of Lance Corporal. Twice wounded, he was badly gassed four weeks before the end of the war and spent three months recuperating in a hospital in Pomerania. Temporarily blinded and driven to impotent rage by the abortive November 1918 revolution in Germany as well as the military defeat, Hitler, once restored, was convinced that fate had chosen him to rescue a humiliated nation from the shackles of the Versailles Treaty, from Bolsheviks and Jews. (World War I

Hitler focused his propaganda against the Versailles Treaty, the "November criminals," the Marxists and the visible, internal enemy No. 1, the "Jew," who was responsible for all Germany's domestic problems.

Hitler's first written utterance on political questions dating from this period emphasized that what he called "the anti-Semitism of reason" must lead "to the systematic combating and elimination of Jewish privileges. Its ultimate goal must implacably be the total removal of the Jews." (Hitler Becomes a Leader)

In January 1925 the ban on the Nazi Party was removed and Hitler regained permission to speak in public. Outmaneuvering the "socialist" North German wing of the Party under Gregor Strasser, Hitler re-established himself in 1926 as the ultimate arbiter to whom all factions appealed in an ideologically and socially heterogeneous movement. (Rise of the Nazi Party)
 
Fallacies
A fallacy that Hitler used was using the past as a reference of how the future should/will be.

Response
Hitler will forever be remembered throughout history for bringing Germany's economy back up and for the Holocaust.

Source Quality
This was a good source to find information about Hitler and all the things he did in his life. I would suggest this source for other people who are looking to find out more about Hitler also.
