For young Adolf Hitler, German ~~Nationalism~~ quickly became an obsession, and it was a good way to rebel against his father, who served the Austrian government.

After Alois' sudden death on January 3, 1903, Hitler's behaviour at the technical school became even more disruptive, and he was asked to leave. Adolf erolled at the Realschule in Steyr, but was expelled during his second year. He never returned to school again.
