Biography

Early Life

"He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future."

―Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler was born in the year 1889 in an Austrian town called Braunau. Born to a family of peasants, Hitler was smart, but lazy child. However, he was forced to leave high school due to a total academic failure. He soon went to Vienna in attempt to gain admittance to the Viennese Academy of Fine Arts. Unfortunately, the art school thought that Hitler lacked talent in drawing and in art. Thus, he was rejected from admittance. Later that same year, his mother died of cancer. After his mother's death, Hitler went back to Vienna based on an orphan's pension and tried to be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts again. Again, he failed to be admitted. However, Hitler stayed in Vienna and lived in a home for men with a bed. During those time to earn a living, Hitler painted postcards and sold them to Jewish people and also to tourists.

Growing Hatred

Hitler's hatred in his early years was not targeted against the Jews in particular, but it was against the cruel world that he lived in, a world that failed to recognize his intelligence and also mistreated him. During the times of hardship, Jews were the people who actually helped to support him, especially his mother's doctor who bought many of his postcards and gave him many presents. However, as he stayed in Vienna longer, his target of hatred began to focus more onto the Jews. He began to believe that the Jews was the key to why the world was bad.

His hatred toward the Jews grew largely due to the numerous outside influences. Still in Vienna, he was influenced by the German antisemitic nationalists and racists affected Austria. Most importantly, he was effected by the striking racist remarks expressed in a series of pamphlets published by a monk called Ostara. The pamphlet announced the idea of the monk who tried to establish a group of blond male masters when were produce pure Aryan offspring. The males that were less pure will either be sterilized or fully eliminated. It was then where his ideas began to blossom.

A New Direction

After moving to Munich Germany, the outbreak of World War I gave Hitler a new direction in life. He volunteered for the Germany army in the List infantry regiment of the Bavarian army. In the army, he was labeled as a good soldier and was awarded recognition for his bravery. After the German empire collapsed at the end of the war, Hitler was back to where he started, a young man without an occupation. However, the army employed him to investigate the radical political groups of the country. He was assigned to investigate the German Workers' Party. He decided to join the group as a member and quickly gained control of it. It was then when he discovered his talent as a great orator. That was the beginning of the rise of Adolf Hitler.

Later Life

A member of the Templar Order since before 1933, Hitler received a Piece of Eden from his fellow Templar, Henry Ford. In return, Henry Ford was given Hitler's personalized Nazi Templar Cross adorned with Swastikas.

Using the Piece of Eden, Hitler achieved a democratic takeover of the country and subsequently turned it into a National Socialist dictatorship. With the Piece of Eden in his possession, this change was widely unopposed and remained highly popular within Germany. Fanatical soldiers accepted his orders unquestioningly and proceeded to invade Poland, eventually beginning the Second World War. Eventually however, despite the strength of the Piece of Eden, Germany was defeated by the combined might of the Allies and Soviets, though this could possibly have been a predetermined outcome created by the Templar Order.

Hitler kept the Piece of Eden a secret from everyone, including his second in command Hermann Göring. However, it is possible that some followers of the Nazi Party were part of the Order and knew of the Apple. However, once Hitler gained control of Germany, he began to use it freely, using it to make great strides in numerous scientific fields. He also used the Piece of Eden to begin production of UFO-type aircrafts, which were not fully realized, as the war ended sooner than expected.

Hitler planned to survive the war by faking his death with a body double, however, shortly before the war's end, a patient Assassin caught him outside the Führerbunker. His actual death would go unnoticed until his failure to meet with his fellow Templars.

Characteristics and personality

Hitler was an undernourished kid while growing up. He was detested by his father for which he had never made amends as well as smothered by his mother in whom he had a rocky relationship with. When his mother died, despite their love-hate relationship, he was devastated. His mother did not appear to be the type of woman who was snobbish, but somewhere along the line Hitler's ego began to get the best of him. There is no doubt in many historian's minds that Hitler had some psychological issues that should have been attended too.

Hitler hated the Jews from a very early age. It is not known why or how he came to the conclusion that Jews were taking over all business' and were hoarding all the money in Germany. That's why Hitler had a passion for stealing precious art, money, jewelry and any other thing of importance he could get his hands on during those dreaded war years. (Most of this art has since been returned to art museums and some families, but it took years to locate some of it. Many pieces of art still have not been located.)

Trivia

• It is suggested in Subject 16's glyphs that the Templars planned World War II: Hitler, Winston Churchill , Joseph Stalin and Franklin D. Roosevelt were all members of the Order.
• Historically, Hitler won the Iron Cross twice during World War I for bravery. The Iron Cross is, in this instance, the same symbol as the Mark of Cain, the emblem of the Knights Templar and identical to the Knights Teutonic Cross.
• Hitler planned to revive the Knights Teutonic, greatly admiring their work during the Crusades.
