      I find this article about him fascinating.

      • He was beaten by his father (daddy issues)
      • He was homeless
      • He sold his art to Jewish patrons.
      • He was temporarily blinded during World War I
      • He was in the military after WWI and was put in the considered Worker’s Party (later the nazis) as a spy, but found he liked it.
      • Hitler designed the flag
      • “Hitler developed the style of speaking which hypnotized audiences, belittling perceived enemies and condemning the scapegoats which he said were the source of all the ills besetting Germany,”
      • “Under German law, the Reichstag was allowed to pass a measure known as an Enabling Act, granting temporary authority to the Chancellor and the President to enact laws exclusive of the democratic process”
      • “Hitler was able to rule Germany by decree, issuing laws and suppressing civil liberties as he chose”
      • “Nazification of the civil service was critical to Hitler’s power”
