Hitler in WWII
Have you ever learned anything about WWII? It is actually pretty crazy thinking about how four men started the second world war. Adolf Hitler was a young boy who was very close to his mother. His mother got sick and she had to go to the hospital for treatment. The doctor accidently gave his mother a deadly treatment instead of the helpful kind and killed her. Adolf was close to this doctor as well, so he didn't find out about the medication, but after he knew he hated him. The ironic thing was that this doctor was Jewish. This is where Hitler's birth for hating the Jews began. Hitler's life before the Nazis, the Nazi party, and all of the Nazi camps.

In the beginning they didn’t have many men. Due to the Treaty of Versailles, the German army was only able to house 100,000 men. One way that Adolf Hitler dealt with this issue was to allow the Nazi parliamentary party, the Sturmabteilung (or SA), to grow very quickly. By 1934 the SA had grown to a power of over 4,500,000 people. Some were afraid that the SA would take over the German army (“Simkin”).
German police, referred to as the SS, established camps all over Germany to handle the masses of people arrested, according to the illegal Jews arrested. These camps were established as work camps and death camps for the extermination of Jews. The SS made larger camps in Oranienburg. In Berlin, prisoners were held under investigation by the German secret police. The Dachau concentration camp came to be in 1933. It was the first regular concentration camp established by the Nazi government. (“Concentration Camps …show more content…

Nazi Germany and its allies made and ran more than 40,000 camps in total. The Nazis used these sites for many things including forced labor, mass murder, and medical experiments. It’s estimated that six million Jews died during the holocaust, but no one will truly know how many Jews were killed in all of the camps.
The tide of the war turned following an invasion of Russian and the U.S. entry into battle, and Hitler killed himself shortly before Germany’s defeat (“Nazi Party”). Hitler's life before the Nazis, the Nazi party, and all the Nazi camps is a very important topic to talk about around the world. Though there are many things that have made Hitler such a feared man, he was a great speaker that was great at convincing people to do things. He was just a bad person with bad intentions, like the Camps and murdering countless Jews. What would you do in 1942?
