Various events during Hitler's reign.
Similarity to the Fuhrer The cat is given the appearance of the Third Reich by its black whiskers, which stand out brightly on its white face. According to the cat's 26-year-old owner, Kirsty Sparrow, Baz looked like Hitler from birth, but had never faced violence because of his appearance.
The incident happened the other day in British Gloucestershire. Baz went for a walk, but did not return home for the night. The next day, neighbors found the cat in a trash can with wounds and bruises on its face.
Baz was immediately taken to a veterinarian, who determined that the cat had not been hit by a car, but had been beaten. The animal was severely damaged by the gas and had to be removed.
Sparrow noted that the incident greatly shocked her. " Many said that he looked like Hitler, but he was always so obedient and kind", said the owner Baz.
PS. From myself, from my experience of reacting to external similarity.
When I was sitting in the pre-trial detention center, waiting to be taken to the zone, a guy drove into the cell, outwardly 1 to 1 like Di-Bronx - Denis Shpitalnikov. I immediately developed antipathy towards him, despite the fact that I was aware of its irrationality and groundlessness. Only because of the similarity with the person who turned out to be your enemy. But time passed and I was able to step over the external, because internally this “clone” turned out to be a very good friend, he even gave me a stylish prison suit... but in the first days I really wanted to clean his face...
The rampant Nazism in the 30-40s of the last century is one of the most terrible and bloody events in history. Take a look at rare photos the one who was at the head of criminal acts against humanity.
The main figure, founder and executor of the embodiment of the bloody Nazi dream was Adolf Hitler, whose portrait became the face of fascism and Nazism throughout the world.
In our article you will see a large selection of photographs from the life of this most terrible dictator. Many of the photographs are rare and appeared in the public domain quite recently, when they were sold under the hammer at one of the auctions in the spring.
When you look into this man’s face, your blood runs cold and you are overcome with horror from the realization that all the most terrible events- millions of deaths, hellish experiments and abuse of people and children - happened on our Earth precisely because of him.
Root of Evil
Hitler's parents, father Alois (1837-1903) and mother Clara (1860-1907), were formally relatives, so his father had to obtain marriage licenses. Alois was a very difficult person with a tough character; he often started drunken brawls in the house and assaulted people. The unfortunate mother saw the light in the window only in her little son Adolf and completely gave him her love and hyper-care. He was her fourth child, the first three died in early age from diseases.
Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Austria in the small village of Ranshofen.
From an early age the boy drew well, which his father was terribly dissatisfied with and forbade his son to do this. The mother, on the contrary, tried to develop the boy’s skills behind Alois’s back and constantly inspired him that he was immensely talented and would become famous. When the father caught the eye of his son’s drawings, he became furious and gave the two a beating, to which his wife shouted at him in despair that he was mistaken, his son would still be famous throughout the world. And she turned out to be right, but he became famous not for his artistic drawings.
Adolf Hitler's school years
IN school years Hitler was a good student leadership qualities, and he had already begun to show the inclinations of nationalism and a desire to join the ranks of the Boer warriors. He colorfully demonstrated all this in drawings, showing them to his peers. As experts note, this behavior could have been caused by an emotional protest to the oppressive father, who demanded unquestioning obedience from his son.
According to the memoirs of Alois Jr., stepbrother Hitler, Adolf was distinguished by cruelty and could become furious for minor reasons, he did not love anyone except his mother, and was a narcissistic person. He was also overly spoiled - his mother indulged Adolf in everything, so he got away with everything.
The beginning of the dictator's path

Having matured, Hitler tried to enter art school and was completely confident that he would succeed without difficulty. But what a blow it was for him when he was not enrolled, saying that his drawings were good, but not sufficient for an art school; with such skills he was recommended to go to the Faculty of Architecture. Adolf was furious; he believed that the school was staffed by mediocrities who had no way of appreciating truly talented things.
For several years he tried to enter art school. educational institutions, but everywhere he was refused. The feeling of an ideal artist nurtured by his mother haunted him, although in reality it turned out that he did not have the talent that Clara, blinded by her mother’s love, idealized.
After unsuccessful attempts to become an artist, the death of his mother, impoverishment and wandering, Hitler volunteered to join the ranks of the German army, which then unleashed the First world war. According to the recollections of fellow soldiers, Adolf was brave, quiet and efficient, for which he quickly received the rank of corporal in the service, but Hitler was not given a leadership rank, since he was considered an excellent performer who lacked leadership qualities. Fellow soldiers also noted his inexplicable luck: Hitler always returned from the battlefield alive and unharmed, even if his entire squad was defeated, and when injuries occurred, they were light and did not threaten the life of the future Fuhrer.

During the First World War, Adolf's nationalist sentiments and beliefs only grew and strengthened, and by leaps and bounds. When Germany began to lose and give up ground, protest sentiments began in the rear due to poverty and hunger, which Hitler regarded as a betrayal.
What are the Jews to blame for?
The beginning of Hitler's ascent to political Olympus in 1921.
At the end of the war, Hitler left military service, which never became his career, but allowed him to have like-minded people, of whom there were only 7 people. With these people Hitler began his political career, and later the realization of your dreams. He wanted little: “to become the sole leader of Germany and begin the fight against the hated Jews and enslave the whole world.” Hatred of Jews fueled his sick imagination; Adolf believed that this nation wanted to seize power over other nations and make them faceless.
Hitler was not always an anti-Semite; throughout his life he had Jewish friends who helped him in to varying degrees. Bitterness and hatred began to grow after the death of her mother, who was sick with cancer, and her doctor was a Jew. Hitler repeatedly thanked this doctor for trying as hard as possible to cure his mother. But, most likely, Hitler had a subconscious resentment against the doctor for not saving his mother, but she was the only person, whom the Fuhrer loved madly, and after her death he grieved greatly. Therefore, over time, the resentment grew into an obsessive hatred of the entire Jewish people.
First successes and the Beer Hall Putsch
Hitler's career grew rapidly in political sphere, he was a great speaker who could hold the attention of a crowd and captivate them with his ideas.
In his speeches, the future chancellor played on the patriotic sentiments of the population that reigned in Germany after the war and the failed capitulation, which led the country to huge foreign debts and economic decline.
When the audience of listeners who came to his speeches grew to 2,000 people, Hitler began to suppress by force everyone who shouted out discontent: they were dragged out and beaten by his stormtroopers.
Without significant obstacles from the authorities, Adolf became more aggressive and organized massacres with those protesting against his actions and ideas with the help of entire self-defense units he created, for which he once spent 5 weeks in prison.
Hitler enlisted the experience and support of Mussolini, the Italian dictator who had successfully gained power in Italy in the 1920s through conquest and violent suppression of resistance.

In 1923, Hitler staged a putsch in Germany to seize power, which was called the “beer hall.” The seizure of power failed due to the betrayal of some of his supporters, although it was initially successful. During these events, 18 people died, including law enforcement officers and Nazis.
The birth of the famous Mein Kampf
Hitler was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison as an organizer of mass riots, but was then released early in December 1924. In prison, he wrote his famous two-volume memoir, consisting of an autobiography and a political campaign, which he called " Mein Kampf”, translated from German “My struggle”. Also, during the year of imprisonment, Hitler reflected for a long time on his mistakes and realized that Mussolini’s scenario for the violent seizure of power was not suitable for Germany, and built new plan actions.

All those in power who helped Hitler get so much high position in the government, they had the illusion that this “Nazi upstart” would become a cornered puppet in their hands, but they soon paid for it sadly and belatedly realized their irreparable mistake.
In pursuit of power, Hitler decided to take care of his health in order to have time to bring his vile ideas to life and, as he believed, save Germany. Therefore, the Fuhrer became a true vegetarian, as a result of which he actively created laws to protect animals and toughened punishment for their violations.

10 signs your cat is Hitler
Cats, as you know, are highly mystical creatures. You never know who is hiding under the guise of a cute creature living next to you. Take a closer look at your pet - what if Adolf Aloizovich himself has moved into it?
1. You turned away literally for a second, and the cat had already appropriated your milk, eggs, sausage, and also annexed the meat pies, citing the fact that his compatriots might be in them.
2. Your cat methodically destroys paper books through careful soiling and tearing. He does this under the cover of darkness, choosing the most valuable (and, in his opinion, ideologically incorrect) specimens. He also gets extremely angry and hisses if you show misunderstanding.
3. The cat regularly builds in and around the litter box fortifications– various trenches, dugouts, pillboxes and bunkers. All your attempts to get rid of them are pointless - it’s easier to accept them.
4. Every night, as soon as you fall asleep, the cat appoints you as a parade ground and begins to march over you, loudly singing bravura marches. One-two-left! One-two-right! Ain-zwei-drai!
5. It is not known when and why this happened, but at the first meow from your cat you jump up, stand tall and demonstrate your readiness to carry out any of his orders.
6. And when he climbs onto the cabinet and starts screaming heart-rendingly, you feel an unbearable desire to put on Wagner.
7. Your cat is at heart - great artist. After all, he shits so masterfully on the white carpet!
8. It’s strange, but the cat is constantly trying to rip off the magnet that you brought from Warsaw from the refrigerator. And from Tel Aviv. And from Volgograd!
9. The cat doesn't give a damn about the League of Nations. Don't believe me? Then ask him if he cares about the League of Nations. He won’t even move his mustache in your direction.
10. By the way, his mustache... His mustache is kind of strange. You've definitely seen this mustache somewhere before. And when guests come to you, they also say that your cat’s mustache is not just a mustache... Those mustaches are familiar. Above the lip.
