In this assignment on Personality Profile,the person who I had in my mind is Adolf Hitler.Known as The Great Slaughter and a Leader of The Red Army,he left us a legacy which is ideology of facism.Although we had many good nor bad perception towards him,his role is being remembered until now. Adolf Hitler is a charismatic Austrian-born demagogue had rose to power in Germany during the 1920s and early 1930s at a time of social, political, and economic confusion. He eventually won power by democratic means after failing to take power by force in 1923.

According to Bullock (1952) he was born on April 20, 1889. He is the fourth child of Alois Schickelgruber and Klara Hitler which lived in the Austrian town of Braunau. Hitler was showered with love and affection by his mother. In May 1913, he seeking for military service and for that, he leaved his hometown and goes to the capital of Bavaria. After 7 months being in military service, he had been noticed by the police stated that he will be charged a year in prison and a fine if he was found guilty for leaving his native land. The document was awareness from the Austrian government for evading conscription. The consequences, Hitler was arrested on the spot and taken to the Austrian Consulate.



Hitler passions against foreigners, particularly Slavs, were boost up during World War I and he was caught up in the patriotism of the time, and submitted a petition to join in the Bavarian army. After less than two months of training, Hitler's regiment saw its first war near Ypres which is against the British and Belgians. Hitler closely escaped from death in battle several times, and was eventually awarded two Iron Crosses for bravery. He rose to the rank of lance corporal but no further. In October 1916, he was wounded by an enemy shell and leaved to a Berlin hospital.

According to Hauner (1983), ‘on November 9th 1916, the Kaiser renounced and the Socialists gained control of the government. Anarchy was more the rule in the cities. Hitler served only nine months of his five-year term. He had written the first volume of Mein Kampf when he was in the prison before. Mein Kampf was basically an autobiographical book which also detailed his views on the future of the German people. He wrote that Jews were the German nation's true enemy where they had no culture of their own but perverted existing cultures such as Germany's with their parasitism.

Next was the second volume of Mein Kampf had been published on 1927 which it had included the history of Nazi party and its program. It also introduced primer on how to obtain and retain political power, how to use propaganda and terrorism, and how to build a political organization. Hitler spoke to scores of mass audiences, calling for the German people to resist the yoke of Jews and Communists, and to create a new empire which would rule the world for 1,000 years.He died in 30 April 1945 by killing himself by a gunshot.But actually the exact cause if his death remain mystery.

As a conclusion,Hitler left us a big negative impact in society.his ideology is used among the facist nowadays and that is not good.But luckily,we`re now living in the peaceful and harmony in our country and let we all hope that there will be no more person like Adolf Hitler.
