Was Hitler's early life hard?

Since ancient times, history has been written by winners, and losers will only call him a bad, visionary young man.

When Adolf Hitler was three years old, he and his father moved to Paso, Bavaria, Germany, where his father planned to manage an Austrian customs. Living in this German city and playing with German children left a lifelong influence on Hitler. He speaks the southern Bavarian accent that Paso learned during his lifetime.

1895, Hitler was 6 years old, his father was transferred to Linz, and his family moved back to Austria. In the suburb of Linz, they bought a beautiful house with a quiet environment. Soon, Hitler was sent to a rural school to attend primary school. This year, my father, who has been a civil servant for more than 40 years, retired. However, it was difficult for him to adapt to this retirement life, so he began to take wine as his friend and relieve boredom with wine. After a long time, he began to drink too much, and he was grumpy and easily excited. He always punched and kicked his children and whipped them, so that his 14-year-old half-brother Little alois was forced to run away from home. As a result, Adolf Hitler Jr. often became his father's "punching bag".

1896, 7-year-old adolf Hitler moved to the small town of lambach with his father. Hitler is a leader in the new school. But Hitler's father soon got tired of life here. He bought a house and garden in Leontin village near Linz in 1898, and his family moved here soon. After arriving in the new place, Hitler's study in the new school was still very easy. At this time, he found himself very talented in painting. So he turned to fantasy to become an "artist" in the future. But his father insisted that his son become a civil servant like him. So after graduating from a four-year primary school, Hitler decided to send him to a six-year middle school in Linz. However, after Hitler arrived at this school, his academic performance plummeted, and finally he failed in math and science exams. 1903 In June, Hitler's father died of a stroke while walking in the morning. This was a turning point for Hitler. 14 years old, he became the only man in the family, and his widowed mother had no binding force on him, even family affairs were subject to him.

At the end of three years of high school, Hitler failed the French exam. Although he barely passed the make-up exam, he lost the opportunity to continue studying in Linz six-year middle school because of his unsatisfactory grades. He had to transfer to a state four-year middle school 40 kilometers away from Linz to continue his fourth grade. This autumn, after he passed the make-up exam, he got a diploma from a four-year middle school. Although he can continue to study in a comprehensive high school, he doesn't want to suffer. He finally persuaded his doting mother to stop studying and rest in Linz on the grounds that he was suffering from tuberculosis and that heavy study was harmful to his health, so that he could live what he called "like a dream" and "the happiest day of his life". Although his mother and relatives urged him to go to work and learn a trade, he spent the next two and a half years intoxicated with his dream of becoming an artist in the future, wandering along the Danube, being his mother's darling, killing his lazy days and enjoying an empty and comfortable life. He also greedily dabbled in books, painted a lot, enjoyed operas and visited museums. Although Hitler was only 16 years old at this time, he was already keen on politics and became a German nationalist who would not change until his death. During this period, Hitler, as the instigator of another day, showed a kind of extreme loneliness, a kind of self-pity and an uncontrollable desire to speak. He has a strong desire to make "grand plans" and scoffs at any step-by-step and well-behaved activities.

First arrived in Vienna

1906, after Hitler celebrated 17' s birthday, he took the money given to him by his mother and relatives and went to Vienna for two months. Vienna, the magnificent baroque imperial city of Austria-Hungary, dazzled Hitler. He wandered around the street all day, admiring the magnificent buildings near the ring road with excitement. What he saw in museums, opera houses and theaters dazzled him and fascinated him. At least at this moment, he is convinced that if he wants to achieve something in art, he must go to Vienna to study, so he tries his best to persuade his mother to allow him to go to the art academy in Vienna. /kloc-in the summer of 0/907, his mother finally agreed that he would come to Vienna to take the entrance examination with 700 kronor extracted from his father's estate, so as to fulfill his dream of becoming a painter. He took two exams altogether. I passed the 1 exam for the first time, but stopped at the second round. The following year, Hitler took the examination of Vienna Art Institute again, but failed in the 1 round. The examiner turned him down without even looking at his work. Because the examiner doesn't think he will make any progress, it's just a waste of time to take the exam. The school told him that his talent was in architecture. The architecture department of the college had to finish six years of high school and have a diploma, while Hitler only had a four-year high school certificate. Faced with this situation, Hitler was very helpless and depressed. He didn't write home, nor did he go home. Instead, I stayed alone in Vienna, closed the door, buried myself in books, listened to operas or wandered around the street blankly. He didn't return to Linz until 10 ended. At this time, Clara, the mother with breast cancer, was dying. 65438+February 2 1, his mother finally passed away.

After his mother died, Hitler was faced with the problem of trying to make a living. Although he is completely independent, he has no skills. He has always despised manual labor and never thought of earning a penny by himself. However, he is not discouraged, but still full of confidence. He bid farewell to his relatives and announced that if he failed, he would never return to his hometown.

Wanderers in Vienna

1908 February, Hitler returned to Vienna. Vienna at that time was a splendid empire before the Habsburg dynasty was about to fall. But there are also poor people living in slums, dressed in rags and malnourished. Hitler at this time began to be full of critical spirit and rebellious spirit. He is often indignant at the injustice of the world and the oppression of ill-gotten gains by the rich and powerful. After arriving in Vienna, Hitler didn't want to enter the architecture department at all, nor did he want to learn any skills or engage in any normal occupation. On the contrary, he would rather do odd jobs-sweeping snow at the station, patting carpets and carrying luggage. In the first year, he lived mainly on his father's inheritance and an orphan's allowance of 25 kroner per month. By 1909, his father's inheritance had been used up, and only 25 kroner of orphan allowance was given every month. He became a total tramp, staying in the long chair in the park at night, or at the door of any house, and filling his hunger with cheap food in the small bar and waiting room during the day.

1909 On Christmas Eve, poor Hitler pawned his last winter coat and lived in a homeless shelter. But soon, encouraged by a friend, Hitler moved into a cheap single apartment and made a living by himself. He stays in his room every day to draw his postcards, which are sold by his friends and sell very well. He also painted some big watercolors for his friends to sell, which sold well. He lives a carefree life with the money earned by painting these paintings and the orphan's fee that he can continue to receive. But not long after, this "painter" who has always been keen on politics turned the reading room of the single apartment into a political club. Hitler talked with the "upper class" among the tenants gathered here and the frustrated among the citizens. According to his needs, he enthusiastically defended all the social and political slogans he endorsed, violently attacked those slogans that led to his failure, and made a simple explanation of the chaotic and complicated social phenomena around him. During this period, Hitler often read pamphlets advocating extreme nationalism and extreme nationalism and anti-Semitism. In particular, a magazine named "Star of the Oriental Temple of Heaven" was deeply loved by Hitler. The aim of the magazine is to create an excellent Aryan race with blond hair and blue eyes, and to oppose the so-called "inferior mixed race", especially the so-called "decadent" influence of Jews, and take the swastika flag as its symbol. Under the influence of this atmosphere, in a few years, a solid foundation of Hitler's political world outlook was laid: against tolerance and equality of all ethnic groups in the world, against democracy and parliamentary system, against Marxism and Jewish groups, and against social equality and political freedom. At that time, the core and the "true faith" he always adhered to was anti-Semitism. He firmly believed that his Aryan race was born noble, while the Jewish race was just the opposite. During this period, Hitler also paid attention to the activities of Austrian political parties. He paid special attention to reading the newspapers and periodicals of the Austrian Social Democratic Party, analyzing its remarks and summing up experience. After repeated deliberation, he finally came to the conclusion that political parties must combine with mass movements and master the art of propaganda among the masses, otherwise they will accomplish nothing. I won't tell you what he was like in his early years!
