TMOGV, Chapter 9: Hitler & National Socialists Rise to Power

After World War One, Adolf Hitler, still an Army corporal, joined the German Worker’s Party (DAP) in Munich. Though young and inexperienced, he proved himself a mesmerizing public speaker with a mature grasp of the issues of the day, and soon became the party’s chairman. Hitler burned with indignation and anger over Germany’s humiliation in losing the war and over the vindictive and merciless Versailles Treaty imposed upon Germany afterwards. He dedicated his life to resurrecting Germany’s position in the world.
