Adolf Hitler, the infamous Führer of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, ascended to power amidst political turmoil and economic despair. His charismatic speeches and policies of nationalism and anti-Semitism resonated with the masses, fueling his rise. As Führer, he established a totalitarian regime, suppressing dissent and persecuting minority groups, particularly Jews. His pursuit of Lebensraum (living space) led to the invasion of Poland in 1939, triggering the outbreak of World War II. Hitler's genocidal policies, including the Holocaust, resulted in the systematic extermination of millions of people. His reign ended with the defeat of Nazi Germany and his own suicide on April 30, 1945. Hitler remains a symbol of tyranny and the destructive potential of unchecked extremism.
