Adolf Hitler: German Wehrmacht
built 177 days ago
A rare German gun that may have belonged to Adolf Hitler already is worth $13,000. The auction ends Thursday night. Engraved with the initials A.H., the Drilling likely was given to Hitler as a gift by the Krieghoff gun company. Wes Lane, owner of Midwest Exchange, expects the gun to be sold for more than $50,000. There's no official proof the gun was Hitler's, but a family has tried to document how it made its journey to the US after being seized from one of Hitler's palaces in the Bavarian mountains. A man from the U.S. Army's 506th parachute regiment supposedly sold the gun to an Army lieutenant, who settled in Central Illinois and kept the gun under his bed for decades, taking it out only occasionally to hunt.

Adolf Hitler ... ordered the establishment of Jewish concentration camps after the invasion of Poland. These camps were quickly set up, and many Jews were rounded up by special units and taken for ‘sterilization’ using Zyklon-B gas. Those that didn’t die in Hitler’s concentration camps wished that they had, since they were responsible for dumping the bodies into and removing them from the massive furnaces that made the crematorium. Those that were sick were also killed, and people were given minuscule rations of food to sustain them, but sometimes that wasn’t even enough. There were also diseases in the concentration camps, but only the Germans were allowed to have vaccines against these diseases.

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, in Braunau-am-Inn, Austria, near the Austro-German border. Adolf's father, Alois, worked as a customs officer on the border. His mother, Klara, had previously given birth to two other children by Alois, Gustav and Ida, but they both died in infancy. Adolf attended school from the age of six, and the family lived in various villages around the town of Linz, east of Braunau. By that time, Adolf had a younger brother, Edmund, but he lived only until the age of six. In 1896, Klara gave birth to Adolf's sister, Paula, who would outlive him.

Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 in a small Austrian village close to the German border, the son of a border customs clerk and a housemaid. As a teenager, he began to develop an artistic talent. At age 16 he quit high-school. At age 17 he applied for the Vienna academy of fine arts, but was rejected. When he was 14 his father died, and when he was 18 his loving mother had cancer. She was treated by a Jewish Doctor, but despite costly and painful treatment she died.

His father Alois (1832-1903) was a minor customs official. His mother, Klara Hitler (n�e P�lzl), was Alois's third wife. Of their six children, only Adolf and his sister Paula survived infancy.

On 15 October 1918, Hitler was admitted to a field hospital, temporarily blinded by a mustard gas attack. The English psychologist David Lewis[20] and Bernhard Horstmann indicate the blindness may have been the result of a conversion disorder (then known as hysteria). Hitler said it was during this experience that he became convinced the purpose of his life was to "save Germany." Some scholars, notably Lucy Dawidowicz,[21] argue that an intention to exterminate Europe's Jews was fully formed in Hitler's mind at this time, though he probably had not thought through how it could be done. Most historians think the decision was made in 1941, and some think it came as late as 1942.
