As a child and teenager, he was an outsider, a soldier in World War I like millions of others, and he failed as an art student. How did Adolf Hitler manage to rise politically? How did he manage to inspire so many people with his theories? How did he become the most powerful man in Germany, the founder of National Socialism, the "Führer"? And what did the everyday life of this warlord, this mass murderer, look like? How did he even govern? Did he have a private life? How Hitler became what he was: a biography of the central figure of anti-Semitism and fascism in the 20th century. Based on the latest research and featuring photos from Hitler's personal photographer.
