In order to truly understand Hitler's nature and personality one has to also focus on the time before his dictatorship, his family life and youthhood. He was born into a fairly wealthy Austrian family on April 20 1889. His father, Alois, was a customs officer earning 100 pounds per year.

Without the First World War and the harsh conditions of the Treaty, I do not think he would have proved to be that popular.
