Hitler – The Other Side

Adolf Hitler, who does not know him? The ruler of Germany from 1933 to 1945, Adolf Hitler was a failure in his early days of politics. Though he was a successful soldier during the First World War, he must have somehow realized that Wars are fought in a different manner. In 1920 he hence joined the Nazi Party of Germany and became its leader within a year of his joining. He had an ambition of ruling the entire Europe and if possible, the whole world. Within a couple of years, of becoming the leader of the Nazi Party, Hitler attempted a coup to topple the German Administration. He failed and he was jailed. But he did not give up his ambition of ruling the world. He was an excellent orator and had immense convincing power. He turned the whole of Germany in his favor and within 10 years of his imprisonment, he became the Chancellor of Germany, in 1933.

However Hitler was, he was a brave man and he did cause the outbreak of the Second World War after he invaded Poland. He along with his axis powers captured almost the whole of Europe and some parts of Africa and Asia within a span of 3 years. Hitler was a great leader though his objectives were not good. He was an amazing architect and a very good manager too. There was a problem with Hitler though. He got carried away with the winning spoilt of War. He did not think of defending his country but he thought of expanding his territory which made him take a number of wrong decisions.

His people management skills were amazing and he could convince millions of Germans to fight and capture new lands. In 1945 when the Axis forces lost the Second World War, Hitler committed suicide. Such was the courage of Adolf Hitler that he could fight against the combined Allied Forces. It was Hitler’s foolishness that he could not get information of the Allied Forces’ and their plan to attack from Normandy. Germany as the key reason to the World War II was clearly an over ambition of Hitler. He had close ties with his counterpart Benito Mussolini of Italy who had similar visions of the world.

But look what a man can do in his life span of 56 years. One can become the most hated person on earth. One can almost finish of a complete race like that of Jews. One can get so many countries running after him. Doesn’t achieving so much in life need guts and determination? Imagine how much would have Hitler gained if he used his sharp brains for good and not for evil. Being ambitious is good but over ambition kills. Never try to achieve something which would collide with someone else’s freedom. Remember, your freedom ends where others’ freedom starts. If you aim high, aim at something good and achievable. And if you aim something unachievable, achieve it by good, not by evil.
