00:13Love him or hate him, his story is filled with dreams, failures, ambition, and power.
00:24From a small boy with big dreams to a man who changed the world forever,
00:30this is the story of Adolf Hitler like you've never heard before.
00:36Are you ready? Grab your headphones, sit back,
00:40and let's dive into this incredible tale that will improve your English and keep you hooked till the end.
00:48It all started on April 20, 1889, in a small town called Braunau am Inn in Austria.
00:57A baby boy was born to Aloha and Clara Hitler.
01:04They named him Adolf.
01:07No one knew this little boy would grow up to shake the world.
01:12As a child, Adolf wasn't special.
01:15He loved playing outside, drawing pictures, and imagining a big future.
01:21But life wasn't perfect.
01:26His father, Aloha, was very strict.
01:31Aloha wanted Adolf to study hard and get a government job just like him.
01:37But Adolf had a different dream.
01:41I want to be an artist, he would tell his mother.
01:44Adolf loved him deeply and supported his dream.
01:50But she couldn't change Aloha's mind.
01:54Adolf's childhood was full of fights with his father.
01:59His father would shout,
02:01Odd is not a real job.
02:04And Adolf would stay quiet, hiding his tears.
02:07When he was 13 years old, his father died suddenly.
02:14Some people thought Adolf would feel free.
02:18But losing his father left a hole in his heart.
02:23Adolf started skipping school.
02:27He was once a good student, but now he didn't care.
02:32Teachers would say,
02:34Adolf is smart, but he is lazy.
02:37All he wanted to do was draw.
02:42After finishing school,
02:44Adolf packed his bags and moved to Vienna,
02:48the capital of Austria.
02:51He was so excited.
02:54Vienna is the city of art.
02:57I will become a famous painter here, he thought.
03:01He applied to the Academy of Fine Arts,
03:05a big art school.
03:07But when the results came,
03:10his heart broke.
03:12He didn't get in.
03:14The school told him,
03:16your work is not good enough.
03:19Adolf felt humiliated.
03:21I'll try again, he said.
03:24But the next year,
03:26the school rejected him again.
03:29He was devastated.
03:30Without school or a job,
03:33Adolf's life became hard.
03:37He lived in tiny, dirty rooms
03:40and sometimes slept on the streets.
03:43He painted postcards
03:46and sold them to tourists
03:48for a little money.
03:49Why is life so unfair?
03:53He often thought.
03:55During this time,
03:57Adolf's mother passed away.
04:00He was alone and angry.
04:03He started to blame other people
04:05for his failures.
04:06It's not my fault,
04:09he would say.
04:11In 1914,
04:13everything changed.
04:16World War I started,
04:18and Adolf saw a chance
04:19to make his life meaningful.
04:22He joined the German army.
04:25He loved being a soldier.
04:28Finally,
04:29I am part of something big,
04:31he thought.
04:33Adolf was brave in the war.
04:35He carried messages
04:38across dangerous battlefields
04:40and received two medals
04:43for his courage.
04:46But in 1918,
04:47Germany lost the war.
04:50Adolf was furious.
04:52Our leaders betrayed us,
04:55he shouted.
04:56He felt Germany needed
04:58someone strong
05:00to bring it back to power.
05:02After the war,
05:04Adolf returned to Germany.
05:07The country was in chaos.
05:10People were poor
05:11and hungry.
05:14Many were angry
05:15about the war's end.
05:18Adolf saw this
05:19as his opportunity.
05:22He joined a small
05:23political group
05:24called the
05:26German Workers' Party.
05:29Adolf was a powerful speaker.
05:31When he spoke,
05:34people listened.
05:36His words were full of anger,
05:39passion,
05:40and promises.
05:42Germany will rise again,
05:45he would say.
05:47Slowly,
05:48more and more people
05:49started following him.
05:52Adolf changed the name
05:54of the group
05:54to the National Socialist
05:57German Workers' Party,
05:58also known as
06:00the Nazi Party.
06:03He designed
06:04their symbol,
06:06a red flag
06:07with a black swastika.
06:09This would become
06:11the most powerful symbol
06:12in the world.
06:14His speeches
06:15became famous.
06:18Thousands of people
06:19came to hear him.
06:22They believed
06:23in his dream
06:24of a strong Germany.
06:25But Adolf's ideas
06:28were dangerous.
06:31He blamed
06:31certain groups
06:32of people
06:33for Germany's problems
06:35and wanted
06:36to make Germany
06:37only for Germans.
06:40After World War I,
06:42Germany was
06:43in big trouble.
06:45People had no jobs,
06:47food was expensive,
06:49and many families
06:50were hungry.
06:52The country
06:53had to pay
06:53a lot of money
06:54to other nations
06:55because they
06:57lost the war.
06:59Germans were angry
07:00and sad.
07:03Adolf Hitler
07:04saw this pain.
07:07He told the people,
07:09It's not your fault.
07:12I know who is to blame.
07:16His words
07:16gave people hope,
07:18but they also
07:19made them angry
07:20at others.
07:21slowly,
07:23Adolf
07:24became a popular
07:25name.
07:27Adolf
07:27worked hard
07:29to grow
07:29his party.
07:31He held
07:32big meetings
07:33and gave
07:34loud,
07:35emotional
07:35speeches.
07:37Germany
07:38can be great
07:39again,
07:40he shouted.
07:42People
07:42clapped
07:43and cheered.
07:45They believed
07:46in his dream.
07:49In 1923,
07:50Adolf tried
07:52to take
07:52control
07:53of the
07:53German
07:53government
07:54by FOSS.
07:56This was
07:57called the
07:57Beer Hall
07:58Putsch,
07:59but it
07:59failed.
08:01Adolf
08:01was arrested
08:02and sent
08:03to jail
08:04for nine
08:04months.
08:06While in
08:07jail,
08:08Adolf
08:08wrote a
08:09book called
08:09Mein Kampf,
08:11which means
08:12My Struggle.
08:14In this
08:15book,
08:16he wrote
08:16about his
08:17ideas.
08:17He said
08:20Germany
08:20needed to
08:21become
08:21powerful
08:22and that
08:23certain
08:23groups of
08:24people
08:24were the
08:25enemy.
08:27The book
08:27became
08:28popular
08:28and many
08:29Germans
08:30started to
08:31believe in
08:31his ideas.
08:33After
08:34getting out
08:35of jail,
08:36Adolf
08:36worked even
08:37harder.
08:39The Nazi
08:40party
08:40became
08:41stronger.
08:42By
08:441933,
08:46Adolf
08:46Hitler
08:47was chosen
08:47as the
08:48Chancellor
08:49of Germany,
08:51the country's
08:51top leader.
08:54This
08:54was the
08:55start
08:55of a
08:56new
08:56chapter.
08:58Adolf
08:59promised
08:59jobs,
09:00a strong
09:01military,
09:02and a
09:02bright
09:03future.
09:04The people
09:05trusted him,
09:07but they
09:07didn't know
09:08what he
09:08was planning
09:09next.
09:10As
09:11Chancellor,
09:12Adolf
09:13made many
09:13changes.
09:16He built
09:16roads,
09:17factories,
09:18and schools.
09:20More
09:20people got
09:21jobs,
09:22and Germany
09:23started to
09:24look strong
09:25again.
09:27The people
09:27were happy.
09:30They said,
09:31Hitler is
09:32a hero.
09:34But behind
09:34this success,
09:36Adolf had
09:37dangerous
09:38plans.
09:38He
09:40controlled
09:41newspapers,
09:42radios,
09:43and schools.
09:45People
09:46were told,
09:47you can
09:47only believe
09:48in Adolf
09:49Hitler.
09:51Those
09:52who didn't
09:52agree with
09:53him were
09:53punished or
09:55sent to
09:55prison.
09:57Adolf
09:58created a
09:58strong army
09:59called the
10:00SS,
10:01and a
10:01group of
10:02young boys
10:03called the
10:04Hitler Youth.
10:06They
10:06trained to
10:07fight and
10:08spread Nazi
10:09ideas
10:10everywhere.
10:12In Germany,
10:13people saw
10:13the swastika
10:14flag.
10:16It became
10:17the symbol
10:17of Adolf's
10:18power.
10:20Adolf's
10:21speeches
10:21became even
10:22more powerful.
10:24He would
10:25say,
10:26Germany is
10:27the best.
10:29We will
10:30rule the
10:31world,
10:32crowds
10:33cheered and
10:34shouted,
10:35Hitler.
10:35Hitler.
10:37In 1939,
10:39Adolf made
10:40his boldest
10:41move.
10:43He ordered
10:44his army to
10:45invade Poland.
10:48This act
10:49started World
10:50War II.
10:52Adolf's dream
10:53was to take
10:54over all of
10:55Europe and
10:56make Germany
10:57the most
10:58powerful country
10:59in the world.
11:01At first,
11:03Adolf's army
11:03won many
11:04battles.
11:06They were
11:06strong and
11:07well-trained.
11:10But as the
11:11war went on,
11:12things started
11:13to go wrong.
11:15Adolf had
11:16made too
11:17many enemies.
11:19While the
11:20war was
11:20happening,
11:22Abolf was
11:22doing something
11:23terrible.
11:25He wanted
11:26to remove
11:27all Jewish
11:28people and
11:29others he
11:30thought didn't
11:31belong in his
11:32vision of
11:33Germany.
11:34This was
11:35called the
11:36Holocaust,
11:38one of the
11:39darkest chapters
11:40in human
11:40history.
11:43Millions of
11:43innocent people
11:44were killed
11:45in camps.
11:47By 1944,
11:49Germany started
11:50losing the
11:51war.
11:53Adolf's enemies,
11:54like the
11:55United States,
11:56the Soviet
11:57Union,
11:58and Britain
11:59were too
12:00strong.
12:02Bombs fell
12:03on German
12:04cities,
12:05and the
12:05people who
12:06once called
12:07Adolf a
12:08hero began
12:09to lose
12:10hope.
12:12Adolf became
12:14paranoid.
12:16He trusted
12:17no one and
12:18spent most of
12:18his time
12:19hiding in his
12:20bunker.
12:22By 1944,
12:24Adolf Hitler's
12:25dreams of
12:26ruling the
12:27world were
12:27falling apart.
12:30His army,
12:31which once
12:32seemed unstoppable,
12:34was now losing
12:35battles everywhere.
12:37The Soviet Union,
12:40one of his
12:40biggest enemies,
12:42pushed the
12:42German army back
12:43from the east.
12:45At the same
12:46time,
12:47American and
12:48British soldiers
12:49attacked from
12:50the west.
12:51German cities
12:53were bombed
12:54day and
12:55night.
12:57Families
12:57lost their
12:58homes,
12:59and the
12:59people began
13:00to turn
13:01against Adolf.
13:03Why did
13:04we follow
13:05him?
13:06many asked.
13:07But Adolf
13:09didn't give
13:09up.
13:11He sat
13:12in his
13:12bunker,
13:13giving orders
13:14to his
13:15generals.
13:17We will
13:18not surrender,
13:19he shouted.
13:21But deep
13:22inside,
13:23even Adolf
13:24knew the
13:25war was
13:25lost.
13:27In early
13:281945,
13:30Adolf
13:31stayed in
13:32a bunker
13:32deep underground
13:34in Berlin.
13:36The bunker
13:37was cold
13:38and dark,
13:39but it was
13:40safe from
13:40bombs.
13:43Inside,
13:44Adolf
13:44spent his
13:45time planning,
13:46though there
13:47was little
13:47hope left.
13:48He was
13:50not alone.
13:52His most
13:52loyal followers
13:53were with
13:55him,
13:55including his
13:56girlfriend,
13:57Eva Braun.
14:00Eva had
14:00been by his
14:01side for
14:02many years.
14:04Though Adolf
14:05kept their
14:05relationship
14:06private,
14:08she loved
14:08him even
14:09in his
14:09darkest
14:10days.
14:12Outside
14:13the bunker,
14:14the sound
14:15of gunfire
14:15grew louder
14:17every day.
14:18The Soviet
14:19army was
14:20getting closer
14:21to Berlin.
14:23The end
14:24is near,
14:25whispered his
14:26advisors.
14:28Leaders from
14:29other countries
14:30begged Adolf
14:31to surrender
14:32and save
14:33the people
14:34of Germany.
14:36But Adolf
14:37refused.
14:39He believed
14:39surrender was
14:41a sign of
14:41weakness.
14:42If Germany
14:44loses,
14:45it is because
14:46the people
14:47were not
14:47strong enough,
14:49he said
14:49coldly.
14:51By April
14:521945,
14:54Berlin was
14:55surrounded.
14:57The Soviet
14:57army attacked
14:58the city
14:59from all
14:59sides.
15:01Buildings
15:02collapsed,
15:03fires burned,
15:04and people
15:05ran for
15:06their lives.
15:08On April
15:0929,
15:101945,
15:12Adolf made
15:13a surprising
15:14decision.
15:15He married
15:17Eva Braun
15:18in the bunker.
15:20It was a
15:21simple ceremony
15:22with just a few
15:23people.
15:25You've always
15:25been by my side,
15:27Eva,
15:27Adolf said.
15:29Eva smiled,
15:31even though she
15:32knew this was
15:33not a happy
15:33moment.
15:35After the wedding,
15:37Adolf and Eva
15:39spent hours
15:40together talking
15:41about their
15:42lives and
15:43what they
15:43had done.
15:45They both
15:46knew the
15:46end was
15:47near.
15:49On April
15:4930,
15:501945,
15:53Adolf made
15:54his final
15:54decision.
15:56He called
15:57his closest
15:58followers into
15:59the bunker
15:59and told
16:00them,
16:02I will not
16:03be captured
16:03alive.
16:06Adolf believed
16:07it was better
16:07to die than
16:09to let his
16:09enemies take
16:10him.
16:11He and Eva
16:13went to a
16:13small room.
16:16Moments
16:16later,
16:17they took
16:18their own
16:18lives.
16:20Adolf was
16:2156 years
16:22old.
16:24When the
16:25Soviet soldiers
16:26reached the
16:26bunker,
16:27they found
16:28Adolf and
16:29Eva's bodies.
16:31The war in
16:32Europe ended
16:33shortly after
16:34Germany
16:35surrendered on
16:36May 8,
16:371945.
16:39The people
16:41of Germany
16:42were left
16:43with nothing
16:43but ruins.
16:46Adolf's
16:47dream of
16:48making Germany
16:49powerful had
16:50instead brought
16:51destruction and
16:53sorrow.

17:24hatred,
17:26unchecked
17:27ambition,
17:27and misuse
17:29of power.
17:31Finally,
17:32his story
17:33teaches us
17:34that every
17:35decision we
