A Quick History on the Men Behind the Atrocities of WWII (And
why you shouldn’t make Hitler out to be a poor failed artist)

of the Holocaust and directing them all over the place instead
of focusing on Hitler because it "wasn’t entirely his fault" and
"he was a great and smart man, even if he was a genocide causing

the government, he failed. After jail he gained fame in the
German Workers’ Party with his talent at speaking by spreading
extreme antisemitic and anti communist propaganda; and was then
appointed chancellor (the head of the government) by the
President of Germa
