adolf hitler was not the man many politicians and other mistaken people think he was. adolf hitler started as a humble, poor christian. adolf hitler originally lived on a farm in austria. later on their family moved to a town in germany, after years of poverty on the farm. adolf took up painting as a pastime and a hobby. adolf, multiple times, attempted to enroll into fine arts academies. he was rejected as many times as he enrolled in them. he was thrown bankrupt and forced to live in homeless shelters. later on he was charged with treason, after he had attempted his famous beer hall putsch, and thrown into a harsh german prison. he wrote a famous book called mein kampf, translating to "my struggle". his political points and movements were, in his own words, "driven by christianity". hitlers goal was to make his country great again. he was simply religiously clouded.
