Adolf Hitler Research Paper

“ In my will it will one day be written that nothing is to be engraved on my tombstone but ‘Adolf Hitler’, I shall create my own title for myself in my name itself” (Marrin, Cover). Hitler, by Albert Marrin, explains that Hitler ultimately did make a name for himself, but not a very good one. He is known as the initiator of World War ll or the person who began the biggest genocide in history.
