Adolf was injured, and during his stay in a hospital he received news that Germany lost World War I. To Hitler, as to many other Germans and German-speakers, this was a betrayal by the cowardly politicians, so he tried a failed coup. This was a one way ticket to prison for 6 months. During his stay he wrote a book/rant/ political treatise called "Mein Kampf". This bought him publicity and revealed his true and dark intentions. He joined the then-tiny Nazi party, made it into a giant, and in time he became both president and chancellor of Nazi Germany. He outlawed his competition, re-militarized Germany, and started World War II in Europe in a bid to control much of the world by military means. He came up against a couple of heroes (America and Great Britain) and at least one other villain (<u>Joseph Stalin</u>), and, outmatched, Hitler's forces had to retreat. By mid-1945, Hitler was utterly defeated, and, finding no way out of the situation, killed himself. | Adolf was injured, and during his stay in a hospital he received news that Germany lost World War I.

Hitler is widely regarded to be one of the most evil men ever to have existed. Nevertheless, given the fear and disgust that surrounds them, Nazis have been rather popular as villains in fiction, and Hitler has been a character in alternative history novels, WWII novels, movies, and at least one rather popular Internet meme. | Hitler is widely regarded to be one of the most evil men ever to have existed.

There also several conspiracy theories surrounding Adolf Hitler and Nazism, such as supposed links to the Occult and the infamous "Nazis on the Moon" theory (the Occult theory at least has been somewhat disproven as Hitler did not practice occult, although some officers did he saw it as largely unproductive (though legends still persist he tried to obtain the Spear of Destiny) ) | There also several conspiracy theories surrounding Adolf Hitler and Nazism, such as supposed links to the Occult and the infamous "Nazis on the Moon" theory (the Occult theory at least has been somewhat disproven as Hitler did not practice occult, although some officers did he saw it as largely unproductive (though legends still persist he tried to obtain the Spear of Destiny) ) | ||
