Der Führer (The Leader)

He was the man who controlled all of Germany, Adolf Hitler. Hitler was planning to eliminate the Jews in Germany. Hitler, as persuasive as he was, made one speech in particular, that had got the support of Germany. He speaks to his country and describes the Jews as the “attacker” (Hitler 2), they trick the non-Jews with “lies and slander, the broad masses from stupidity or simplicity believe everything” (Hitler 3). In about 1939, Hitler rose to power, and had Germany’s support of the Nazi’s to support him.

The speech ‘Mein Kampf’, has been named by Hitler himself for the purpose of getting the people of Germany’s sympathy and to trust his leadership. Translated to English, ‘Mein Kampf’ actually means ‘My Fight’. Hitler gave this speech in 1936, and really had to fight for the position he had later achieved. As an anti-semantic, Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jewish religion, because he believed that they were trying to take over the Germany. He had stated, “By defending myself from the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the lord” (Hitler 1). What Hitler is really saying, is that he wants to eliminate the Jews because he is defending his religion, which is Christianity, Lord. Gaining the trust in a religious point of view pushes his strength to control Germany ten times as far. Germany is on the verge of dictatorship.

I believe that Hitler was a horrible man, who was racist against the Jews for the wrong reasons. He may be persuasive, but he did dispicible actions, and tried to take over the world. Even after being defied as dictator of the world by the Americans, British, Canadians, and the Russians, Adolf Hitler still pursued his dictatorship and fight for the world.
