Hitler visits one of the officers, just like him, who suffered from an unsuccessful assassination attempt on him on July 20, 1944. After the assassination attempt, Hitler was unable to stay on his feet all day, as more than 100 fragments were removed from his legs. In addition, he had a dislocation of his right arm, the hair on the back of his head was scorched, and his eardrums were damaged. I was temporarily deaf in my right ear. He ordered that the execution of the conspirators be turned into humiliating torment, filmed and photographed. Subsequently, he personally watched this film.

One of the last photos of Hitler. The Fuhrer in the garden of the Imperial Chancellery rewards the young members of the Hitler Youth brigade, mobilized to defend Berlin.

Hitler presents Reichsmarschall Göring with Hans Makart's Lady with a Falcon (1880). Both Hitler and Goering were passionate art collectors: by 1945, Hitler's collection consisted of 6,755 paintings, Goering's collection - 1,375. , were confiscated from the museums of the countries occupied by Germany. Disputes over the legal status of some paintings from the former collections of the leaders of Nazi Germany are still going on.

According to the official version, Hitler, along with his wife Eva Braun, committed suicide on April 30, after killing his beloved dog Blondie. In Russian historiography, the point of view was established that Hitler took poison (potassium cyanide, like most Nazis who committed suicide), however, according to eyewitnesses, he shot himself. There is also a version according to which Hitler, having taken an ampoule of poison into his mouth and bit through it, simultaneously shot himself with a pistol (thus using both instruments of death).

According to witnesses from among the attendants, even the day before, Hitler gave the order to deliver canisters of gasoline from the garage (to destroy the bodies). On April 30, after dinner, Hitler said goodbye to people from his inner circle and, shaking hands with them, retired to his apartment with Eva Braun, from where the sound of a shot was soon heard. Shortly after 3:15 pm, Hitler's servant Heinz Linge, accompanied by his adjutant Otto Günsche, Goebbels, Bormann and Axmann, entered the Fuhrer's quarters. Dead Hitler sat on the couch; there was a blood stain on his temple.

Eva Braun lay next to her, with no visible external injuries. Günsche and Linge wrapped Hitler's body in a soldier's blanket and carried it into the garden of the Reich Chancellery; Eve's body was carried out after him. The corpses were placed near the entrance to the bunker, doused with gasoline and burned. In the photo: the charred corpse of Hitler at the examination carried out by Soviet specialists.

There are a number of conspiracy theories claiming that Hitler did not commit suicide, but escaped. According to the most popular version, the Fuhrer and Eva Braun, leaving doubles in their place, hid in South America, where they lived safely under false names until old age. The photo allegedly depicts 75-year-old Hitler on his deathbed.

Hitler was born on April 20, 1889. After 1933, when the Nazis seized power in Germany, April 20, the "Fuhrer's birthday", became an official holiday for millions of Germans of the "Third Reich" and hundreds of thousands of adherents of fascism in other countries. He celebrated his fiftieth birthday in a bunker, in a dungeon under the Imperial Chancellery in Berlin, but on April 20, nothing foreshadowed Hitler's future triumphs. The town of Braunau, where the Fuhrer of Germany was born, is located in the border region of Austria on the Inn River, which separates Austria from Bavaria. And although it was a stone's throw to the Austrian capital of Vienna - only some 80 kilometers, these wooded places were considered wilderness. And they were inhabited by semi-rural, semi-urban people - men either did crafts or went to work in larger and richer cities. Young women also often left their father's shelter - they acted as maids, cooks, and who were lucky, and housekeepers in wealthy families in Linz, Graz or Vienna. Well, and then, having earned a dowry, they returned and got married. In these poor, mountainous places, marriages between relatives, sometimes quite close, were not uncommon. They were looked at through the fingers, as well as illegitimate children, as we will see when we get acquainted with Hitler's family tree.

This genealogy was traced, almost from the 15th century. However, there are also “white spots” in the “family tree” of the Hitler family.

Until the age of thirty-nine, Hitler's father Alois bore the surname Schicklgruber, his mother's surname. Viennese journalists discovered this fact in the thirties, and to this day it is discussed in the pages of monographs about Nazi Germany and Hitler. The talented American historian and publicist William Shearer, who wrote the book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, semi-ironically assures that if Alois had not changed his surname Schicklgruber to Hitler, his son Adolf would not have had to become a Fuhrer, because unlike the surname Hitler, which by its sound reminiscent of “ancient Germanic sagas and Wagner”, the surname Schicklgruber is difficult to pronounce and even sounds somewhat humorous to the German ear. “It is known,” Shearer writes, “that the words “Heil Hitler!” became the official greeting in Germany. Moreover, the Germans said "Heil Hitler!" literally at every turn. It is unbelievable that they would have been shouting "Heil Schicklgruber!", "Heil Schicklgruber!"

Alois Schicklgruber, father of Adolf Hitler, was adopted by Georg Hiedler, husband of his mother Maria Anna Schicklgruber. However, no less than thirty-four years passed between the marriage of Maria Anna and the adoption of Alois. When forty-seven-year-old Maria Anna married Georg, she already had a five-year-old illegitimate son, Alois, the father of the future Nazi dictator. And neither George nor his wife had the idea at that time to legalize the child. Four years later, Maria Anna died, and Georg Hiedler left his native place. Everything that follows is known to us in two versions. According to one - Georg Hitler (all of Hitler's numerous relatives of the older generation of grandparents, their brothers and sisters were apparently illiterate; the priests wrote down the names of these persons in parish books by ear, so there was a clear discord: someone was called Güttler, someone then Gidler, etc., etc.) returned to his native town and, in the presence of a notary and three witnesses, stated that Alois Schicklgruber, the son of his late wife Anna Maria, was in fact his son, Hitler. According to another, three relatives of Georg Hitler went to the notary for the same purpose. According to this version, Georg Hitler himself had long since passed away. It is believed that the overgrown Alois wished to become "legitimate", as he expected to receive a small inheritance from the man in whose house he had lived for many years, namely from the brother of his alleged father, Johann Nepomuk Güttler.

Alois Hitler, the Fuhrer's father, was apprenticed to a shoemaker when he was young. But he did not want to sew shoes and became a customs official, i.e., according to the concepts of people of his circle, he "made it into the people." At 58, Alois retired relatively early. He was restless - all the time he changed his place of residence, one town to another. But in the end he settled in Leonding, a suburb of Linz.

Alois Schicklgruber, aka Hitler, was married three times: the first time to a woman who was fourteen years older than him. The marriage was unsuccessful. Alois went to another woman, whom he married after the death of his first wife. But soon she died of tuberculosis. For the third time, he married a certain Clara Pelzl, who was twenty-three years younger than her husband. In order to formalize this marriage, it was necessary to seek permission from the church authorities, since Clara Pelzl was obviously in close relationship with Alois. Be that as it may, Clara Pelzl became the mother of Adolf Hitler. The first marriage of Alois was childless, from the second marriage two children survived - Alois and Angela, from the third also two - the future Fuhrer of Germany and a certain Paula, an unremarkable woman who outlived her brother. In total, Alois Hitler had seven children, one of them out of wedlock and two born immediately after marriage. In Leonding, in his own house with a garden, Alois Hitler lived until his death. Adolf Hitler was the third child from his father's third marriage. The Hitler family was unfriendly. And Adolf Hitler himself treated his relatives extremely coldly, in particular, his sister Paula and half-brother Alois. The only person to whom Hitler had kindred feelings was his half-sister Angela Hitler, by her husband Angela Raubal. When Hitler became an influential person in Bavaria, he discharged the widowed Angela by that time and made her his housekeeper. Angela Raubal ran the household of Hitler's bachelor both in Munich and at his residence in Berchtesgaden, in the Bavarian Alps. Hitler had an affair with Angela's daughter, also Angela (Geli) Raubal.

Adolf's brother, Alois Hitler, served five months in prison at the age of 18 for theft. Being released, he was caught again two years later, this time he was imprisoned for eight months. In 1929, that is, already at the time when Adolf Hitler began to come into power, Alois was tried for bigamy. Then he went to England, started a new family there, left her and returned to his homeland. In Nazi Germany, Alois “settled down”, opened a thriving beer bar in Berlin, which was eagerly visited by the Nazi brethren and foreign journalists - the latter because they hoped to find out from Alois some details about Adolf Hitler. But Alois knew how to keep his mouth shut. He no doubt knew that several of Adolf Hitler's friends, who had rendered the future Fuhrer services at the beginning of his journey and showed excessive talkativeness, ended badly. The SS men removed them without much noise. According to foreign correspondents, Alois Hitler was a portly man in the thirties, a typical German innkeeper.

From the point of view of the law, there is nothing reprehensible in Hitler's genealogy. None of his ancestors was a highwayman, a murderer, or a recidivist thief. But in a society created by the nationalists and their Führer, Hitler's genealogy could arouse great suspicion. The Fuhrer's grandfather remained unknown. But be that as it may, nothing can be said with complete certainty about Hitler's grandfather. In the "Third Reich" this could play a fatal role. What if one "quarter" of the Fuhrer would turn out to be "non-Aryan"? A non-Aryan quarter could crush any career!

According to Hitler's book Mein Kampf, Hitler's parents wanted to make an official out of their son, and the future Fuhrer himself dreamed of becoming a free artist. Mein Kampf tells of the "tragic conflict" that arose on this basis between a cruel father and an unfortunate son. However, the post-war biographers of Hitler easily proved that the myth of a tyrant - a father and a long-suffering son is not true. Hitler's father was neither a villain nor a despot: he was just an ordinary man in the street who managed to rise one step above his parents, to jump out of simple artisans into officials, into a “stand-up collar proletarian”, as petty employees were then called in Germany. And Alois Hitler wanted to give his son an education, despite the material sacrifices associated with this. But Hitler, by all accounts, studied poorly. One real school he had to leave. It was in Leoding. The second - in Linz - he also failed to finish.

Throughout his life, the Nazi Fuhrer retained a hatred of the intelligentsia, attacked education as such and educated people. The disrespect for any mental work, especially in the field of social sciences, in the "Third Reich" is undoubtedly connected with the fact that this Reich was headed by people whose "educational qualification" was extremely low compared to any other bourgeois state. Hitler, in particular, despised any knowledge (except, perhaps, knowledge in some areas of technology) and any process of cognition, believing that only the final results of this process are important, purely utilitarian conclusions from which the state and the fascist party can derive momentary benefits.

In "Mein Kampf" he called the teachers "monkeys" and "stupid". “Their (teachers - ed.) only goal,” he wrote, “was to beat our heads and make us the same learned monkeys as they were themselves.” And many years later, in 1942, at his headquarters, Hitler again scolded the gymnasium, gymnasium rules, and teachers more than once. Reading his statements about the school, you don’t know what is more surprised: the vindictiveness of the Nazi Fuhrer or his ignorance. Here are some examples of Hitler's reasoning: “Why does a guy who wants to study music, geometry, physics, chemistry need it? What will he remember from this later? Nothing!" Or: “Why learn two languages?.. One is enough.” Or: “In general, I learned no more than ten percent of what others learned.” In the preface to Hitler's Table Talk, the historian Percy Schramm, who once kept a "diary of the armed forces" at Hitler's headquarters, writes that Hitler felt special hatred "for dirty social democratic-minded folk teachers", "stupid and dependent mental proletarians ". According to Schramm, Hitler was going to replace them with non-commissioned officers retired from the reserve, since they are "clean and well trained to educate people." Hitler believed that schools should avoid "exaggerated education - "massage of the brain", from which "children become fools", etc.

"On the 124th anniversary of Adolf Hitler": Adolf Hitler ... Thousands of pages have been written about him, historians and political scientists, philosophers and writers turn to his personality, trying to understand the phenomenon of the Fuhrer. We will try to look at the life of this controversial person through the prism of a small selection of rare archival photographs arranged in chronological order.

Adolf Hitler - Biography

This name and surname are very hated by many people around the world for the atrocities that this man committed. How was the biography of the one who unleashed a war with many countries, how did he become like that?

Childhood, Hitler's family, how he appeared

Adolf's father was an illegitimate child, his mother remarried a man with the surname Gidler, and when Alois wanted to change his mother's surname, the priest made a mistake, and all the descendants began to bear the surname Hitler, and there were six of them, and Adolf was the third child. Hitler's ancestors were engaged in the peasantry, his father achieved a career as an official. Adolf, like all Germans, was very sentimental and often visited the places of his childhood and the graves of his parents.


Before the birth of Adolf, three children died. He was the only and beloved son, then brother Edmund was born, and Adolf began to devote less time, then Adolf's sister appeared in the family, he always had the most tender feelings for Paula. After all, this is a biography of the most ordinary child who loves his mother and sister, when and what went wrong?

Hitler's studies

In the first grade, Hitler studied only with excellent marks. In the old Catholic monastery, he went to the second grade, learned to sing in the church choir and helped during the mass. For the first time I noticed the sign of the swastika at Abbot Hagene on his coat of arms. Adolf changed schools several times due to parental problems. One of the brothers left home, the other died, Adolf was the only son. At school, he began to like not all the subjects, he stayed for the second year.

Growing up Adolf

As soon as the teenager was 13 years old, his father died, the son refused to fulfill the request of the parent. He did not want to become an official, he was attracted by painting and music. One of Hitler's teachers later recalled that the student was one-sidedly gifted, quick-tempered and wayward. Already in these years one could notice the features of a mentally unbalanced person. After the fourth grade in the document on education there were grades "5" only in physical culture and drawing. He knew languages, exact sciences and shorthand to "two".


At the insistence of his mother, Adolf Hitler had to retake the exams, but he was diagnosed with a lung disease, he had to forget about school. When Hitler turned 18, he leaves for the capital of Austria, wants to enter an art school, but failed to pass the exams.
