Questions & Comments

When he started his political career, he certainly did not want people to know that he was lazy and a poor achiever at school. He fell out with one of his earliest supporters,
Hitler was certainly gifted in some subjects, but he lacked self-control. He was argumentative and bad-tempered, and unable to submit to school discipline....moreover, he was lazy. He reacted with hostility to advice or criticism.

yes you paid for the food, but couldn't get certain things without using the stamps. i remember when I started school and had air raid drills in the classrooms. I still worried if they would come to our shores. I remember watching blimps patrol the shorelines,

We were in San Francisco and every one was afraid we were next. I remember when the Japanese Seals blew up the ammo dump at Fort Bragg, CA. It was about 4 am and it threw me out of the bed. It was 90 miles away and was felt for over 100 miles. I shook for days. It was awful for a small child.
We had to have black shades on all the windows in case of an air raid and we were always on alert.

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20th 1889 in a small Austrian town called Braunau, near to the German border.His father - Alois - was fifty-one when Hitler was born. He was short-tempered, strict and brutal. It is known that he frequently hit the young Hitler. Alois had an elder son from a previous marriage but he had ended up in jail for theft. Alois was determined that Hitler was not going to go down the same road - hence his brutal approach to bringing up Hitler. The background of Alois was a potential source of embarrassment for the future leader of Nazi Germany,

May 26th, 2011 at 3:31:23 PM PDT by

Alois was a civil servant. This was a respectable job in Brannau. He was shocked and totally disapproving when the young Hitler told him of his desire to be an artist. Alois wanted Hitler to join the civil service, .Hitler’s mother - Klara - was the opposite of Alois - very caring and loving and she frequently took Hitler’s side when his father’s poor temper got the better of him. She doted on her son and for the rest of his life, Hitler carried a photo of his mother with him where ever he went.

Hitler was not popular at school and he made few friends. He was lazy and he rarely excelled at school work. In later years as leader of Germany, he claimed that History had been a strong subject for him - his teacher would have disagreed !! His final school report only classed his History work as "satisfactory". Hitler's final school report (September 1905) was as follows:

May 26th, 2011 at 3:33:18 PM PDT by

French Unsatisfactory Geography Satisfactory
German Adequate Gymnastics Excellent
History Satisfactory Physics Adequate
Mathematics Unsatisfactory Art Excellent
Chemistry Adequate Geometry Adequate

Hitler was able but he simply did not get down to hard work and at the age of eleven, he lost his position in the top class of his school - much to the horror of his father.

Alois died when Hitler was thirteen and so there was no strong influence to keep him at school when he was older. After doing very badly in his exams, Hitler left school at the age of fifteen. His mother, as always, supported her son’s actions even though Hitler left school without any qualifications.

i was given permission by another listia member to tell about what she remembered about world war 2 and and rationing stamps during world war 2

In Vienna, the Vienna Academy of Art, rejected his application as "he had no School Leaving Certificate". His drawings which he presented as evidence of his ability, were rejected as they had too few people in them. The examining board did not just want a landscape artist, . Without work and without any means to support himself, Hitler, short of money lived in a doss house with tramps. He spent his time painting post cards which he hoped to sell and clearing pathways of snow. It was at

May 26th, 2011 at 3:39:10 PM PDT by

this stage in his life - about 1908 - that he developed a hatred of the Jews,
He was convinced that it was a Jewish professor that had rejected his art work; he became convinced that a Jewish doctor had been responsible for his mother’s death; he cleared the snow-bound paths of beautiful town houses in Vienna where rich people lived and he became convinced that only Jews lived in these homes. By 1910, his mind had become warped and his hatred of the Jews - known as anti-Semitism - had become set.

May 26th, 2011 at 3:41:19 PM PDT by

In 1924, Hitler wrote "I sank to my knees and thanked heaven…….that it had given me the good fortune to live at such a time." There is no doubt that Hitler was a brave soldier. He was a regimental runner. This was a dangerous job as it exposed Hitler to a lot of enemy fire. His task was to carry messages to officers behind the front line, and then return to the front line with orders.

May 26th, 2011 at 3:43:22 PM PDT by

His fellow soldiers did not like Hitler as he frequently spoke out about the glories of trench warfare. He was never heard to condemn war like the rest of his colleagues. He was not a good mixer and rarely went out with his comrades when they had leave from the front. Hitler rose to the rank of corporal - not particularly good over a four year span and many believe that it was his lack of social skills and his inability to get people to follow his ideas, that cost him promotion. Why promote someone who was clearly unpopular?

May 26th, 2011 at 3:43:53 PM PDT by

Though he may have been unpopular with his comrades, his bravery was recognized by his officers. Hitler was awarded Germany’s highest award for bravery - the Iron Cross. He called the day he was given the medal, "the greatest day of my life." In all Hitler won six medals for bravery.

May 26th, 2011 at 3:44:52 PM PDT by

The war ended disastrously for Hitler. In 1918, he was still convinced that Germany was winning the war - along with many other Germans. In October 1918, just one month before the end of the war, Hitler was blinded by a gas attack at Ypres. While he was recovering in hospital, Germany surrendered. Hitler was devastated. By his own admission, he cried for hours on end and felt nothing but anger and humiliation.

May 26th, 2011 at 3:46:09 PM PDT by

By the time he left hospital with his eyesight restored he had convinced himself that the Jews had been responsible for Germany’s defeat. He believed that Germany would never have surrendered normally and that the nation had been "stabbed in the back" by the Jews.

May 26th, 2011 at 3:46:52 PM PDT by

Hitler was a slight, pale man with brown hair parted to one side. He had steel-blue eyes...he had the look of a fanatic....he held the audience, under a hypnotic spell by the sheer force of his conviction.

I am an avid WWII collector....this would be on of the highlights of my collection! Will be watching this and bidding high on this! Fanned you...fanme!

WOW!!! I got a kick out of the page with the furniture add, now that is furniture I could afford to buy. lol. Amazing, I am not a collector, but am fascinated by your papers. I'll try to keep up with the bidding, would really love to have one of these.

May 18th, 2011 at 6:23:28 PM PDT by

this one does have ads in it, i am not suppose to show the ads really, but if i cut the part off i wouldn't like it that way, listia doesn't allow newspapers on here, but i got both kevin and rosie listia's permission, but i have to do this with every listing of them, i have to warn people not to flag these kinds of auctions, because i got listia's permission to list them, i also was told i have to show pictures or files in the listing, i also have to put in the listing somewhere, not to flag it because it's a collectible special edition, which they were, when new news came out, papers were printed in the early morning or afternoon and at night, these newspapers came out any time of the day or night because of the war they were called special editions

i just had someone correct me during one of my listings, i am right and so is she, germany she said always had a reich time, yes it did, but it also had an imperialist time, she made that comment, on a listing of mine, i have listed a reich bank note money bill from berlin germany dated 1908, she called that period of time the german empire, which it was, but it was also called imperialist germany since 1871 to 1918, i guess people do read my history i put in listings
