“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

Adolf Hitler was an Austrian-born German politician who led the National Socialist German Workers Party. He was Chancellor of Germany (1933–1945) and Führer of Germany (1934–1945). Adolf Hitler was born at the Gasthof zum Pommer, an inn in Braunau an Inn, Austria-Hungary, on 20 April 1889 at 6.30 in the evening, the fourth child of six. His father, Alois Hitler, (1837–1903), was a customs official. Hitler's father also had a son, Alois Jr, and a daughter, Angela, by his second wife
Alois Hitler was an illegitimate child. For the first 39 years of his life, he bore his mother's surname, Schicklgruber. In 1876, he took the surname of his stepfather, Johann Georg Hiedler. The name was spelled Hiedler, Huetler, Huettler and Hitler, and probably regularized to Hitler by a clerk. (From Wikipedia).
A series of financial events unfolded in the years 1921 through 1923 that would propel the Nazis to new heights of daring and would even prompt Hitler into attempting to take over Germany. In April of 1921, the victorious European Allies of World War One, notably France and England, presented a bill to Germany demanding payment for damages caused in the war which Germany had started. This bill (33 billion dollars) for war reparations had the immediate effect of causing ruinous inflation in Germany. Germans lost their life savings. Salaries were paid in worthless money. Groceries cost billions. Hunger riots broke out.
After World War I, the Nazi Party gained power during Germany's period of crisis by exploiting nationalism, anti-Semitism, anti-communism, propaganda and by Hitler's charismatic oratory. The Nazis executed or assassinated many of their opponents, restructured the state economy, rearmed the armed forces (Wehrmacht) and established a totalitarian and fascist dictatorship. Hitler pursued a foreign policy with the goal of seizing Lebensraum. The German Invasion of Poland in 1939 caused the British and French Empires to declare war on Germany, effectively beginning World War II.
The Axis Powers occupied most of Mainland Europe and parts of Asia and Africa. Eventually the Allies defeated the Wehrmacht. By 1945, Germany was in ruins. Hitler's bid for territorial conquest and racial subjugation caused the deaths of tens of millions of people, including the systematic genocide of an estimated six million Jews, not including various additional "undesirable" populations, in what is known as the Holocaust.
During the final days of the war in 1945, as Berlin was being invaded and destroyed by the Red Army, Hitler married Eva Braun. Less than 24 hours later, the two committed suicide in the Führerbunker.
