A true account of Hitler's rise to power in Germany, from Pre-WWI Germany up to Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939. The book includes accounts of historical events including the reign of Otto von Bismarck, aspects of the Holy Roman Empire, events of WWI, Weimar Republic, formation of the Soviet Union, and other historical events of the era. Hitler's rise to power is chronicled from his early childhood to his enlistment in the German army during WWI, and his involvement with and takeover of the German National Socialist Workers' Party. Events such as 'The Night of the Long Knives' and 'Kristallnacht' are comprehensively covered as well.Adolf Hitler understood the power of perception, and specifically concerning the manner in which humans process such perceptions in our never-ending pursuit of contentment. Perceptions define who we are, our beliefs, our values, who we love and who we hate, and all within perceptual spatial proximity of others, and as such can be used to control us. The ability of government leaders to use this knowledge in creating a leadership environment that portends to support our definitions of contentment thus have the power of bohemian persuasion over us. Many government leaders will portend to support certain religious beliefs in order to attract support for their cause, which is no different than the manner in which Hitler operated. Under the proper circumstances, even the most faint of individuals can be compelled to commit acts of genocide, and the 2003 US invasion of Iraq is a prime example. For the more we humans condense our perceptual environment in terms of self-awareness, the more genocidal we become. This mere fact describes the ability of humans still today to discriminate against others in terms of race, culture, and even sex. For the more we condense our perceptions within our mind in terms of self-awareness, the more we reject exogenous perceptions or those perceptions deemed different from ourselves, and all in the name of contentment, which is the very basis of self-preservation. Hitler stated that beneath the desire to self-preserve, humanity will melt like snow in the March sun. Not only was that quote the final motivation for the writing of this book, but it also remains prophetically accurate today.
