Hitler practiced his speeches and 'gestures'. He wanted to review his 'bodylanguage and gestures' later, so he had his photographer, Heinrich Hoffman, capture them.

Hitler wanted to be an artist...
These are some of his paintings..
He actually applied to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, only to be turned down not once but twice due to his "unfitness for painting" - a judgement most professional artists would agree with...
Had the academy accepted his application, the history of the modern world would have been a lot lot lot different!!!
Also, on a lighter note,
Hitler wasn't a bad guy after all... or was he.. Ok I am confused now... :P

- Despite becoming the dictator of Germany, Hitler was not born there. Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria on April 20, 1889.
- Hitler was known as "Adi" in his youth.
- Hitler's father, Alois, was in his third marriage and 51 years old when Hitler was born. He was known as a strict man who retired from the civil service when Hitler was only six. Alois died when Hitler was 13.
- No one is quite sure where or how Hitler picked up his virulent antisemitism. Some say it was because of the questionable identity of his grandfather (was Hitler's grandfather Jewish?). Others say Hitler was furious at a Jewish doctor that let his mother die. However, it is just as likely that Hitler picked up a hatred for Jews while living on the streets of Vienna, a city known at the time for its antisemitism.
- Hitler endured and survived four years of World War I. During this time, he was awarded two Iron Crosses for bravery.
- In 1932, Hitler was granted German citizenship.
- On July 20, 1944, Hitler barely survived an assassination attempt. One of his top military officers had placed a suitcase bomb under the table during a conference meeting at Hitler's Wolf's Lair. Because the table leg blocked much of the blast, Hitler survived with only injuries to his arm and some hearing loss. Not everyone in the room was so lucky.
He travelled to Austria to enrol in art school, but his inability to draw faces or people properly meant he could not gain entry-- maybe this would've driven him away from entering politics in the first place?!
He was, however, adept at drawing buildings, and as Cahit Ozsoy said, he had a passion for architecture. The Midlands Hotel in Manchester (that still stands today) was his favourite building in England, and would've been his chosen location for his government in Britain had he have won the war. In my opinion, it's an impressive and ominous looking building but it isn't particularly pretty... I suppose the dissimilarity between mine and Hitler's tastes are a good thing.

Adolf Hitler was severely addicted to methamphetamine which ultimately led to paranoid schizophrenia. He received his methamphetamine as pressed pills wrapped in gold foil. Before his animated talks he would frequently receive injections of methamphetamine.
His infamous final days in the Führerbunker were spent in severe methamphetamine withdrawal. Desperately, he used eyedrops containing cocaine (the only speed in the bunker) to assuage his withdrawal symptoms which made him go blind.

Hitler suffered from chronic flatulence. Dr Theodore Morell, the Fuhrer's personal physician from 1936, treated him with a quack medicine called Dr Koster's Antigas pills, which Hitler took after each meal for years. The medicine contained belladonna and strychnine and it is likely that these toxic ingredients had a serious effects on the dictators health and mental well-being. Dr Goebels once caused the displeasure of his leader after asking for the windows to be opened after one of the Fuhrer's particularly noxious farts.

One of the most widely perpetuated myths is that Hitler was a vegetarian. He was not. When, around 1940, first signs of what historians and medical professionals believe was Parkinson's Disease reared its head Hitler's "Leibarzt", his personal doctor, recommended a diet low in meats and high in leafy vegetables. Hitler (mostly) obeyed but ate meat at functions and is rumored to have snuck in sausages when he withdrew for the night.
His last name is a chain of odd events. His father, Alois, was named Schicklgruber (can you imagine a "Heil Schicklgruber"?) and changed his name due to his own dislike for it in his 30s. The parish priest, originally reluctant but swayed by Alois' witnesses as to the mental anguish the name of gave him due to the wedlock implications, put down his new name as that of his stepfather, "Hiedler" which turned, somewhere between the parish priest and the government employee in Vienna, into "Hitler". To make this even more complicated, Alois' mother had three lovers at the time of Alois' birth: Johann Georg Hiedler, his brother Johann Nepomuk Hüttler, and a man by the name of Leopold Frankenberger. Each could have been the father and each could have become Alois' last name.

I've just watched a really interesting documentary about Hitler, so I'll share two of the more memorable take aways.
Hitler had a copyright to his likeness, so that, any time it was used, he was entitled to royalties. For example, when his face was placed on Germany's stamps, he made a royalty from every stamp sold.
He also used his position in government to sell copies of his book, Mein Kampf. At some point, it was mandated that every German couple be gifted a copy of this book upon wedding. Of course, this is a fantastic way to guarantee a steady stream of book sales.
These are the kinds of tactics that I would normally associate with a sleazy agent today, not a dictator in the 30s and 40s.

It is a very well known fact that Hitler was a great orator.Generally he would start with a very normal tone quietly then he would finally be increasingly impassioned. Though the content of his speech was barbaric and very cruel but it was amazingly rhetoric.What led Hitler to be a very good speaker?
Actually in school he used to have fiery debates and discussions with his classmates of the national issues and the status quo of the country social ,political, cultural and diplomatic whereabouts .And it was here that he learned to speak aggressively with a mass appeal and tremendous convincing power. Moreover prior joining politics he used to practice speaking umpteen times before mirror. The overall combination of his knowledge,his superb vocabulary and a lot of practice made him one of the most influential orator of 20 century.

Contrary to popular belief, Adolf Hitler was an Austrian, not a German. He was born on Easter Sunday and had five siblings of which four died before their childhood ended. Hitlers father died when Adolf was 14 and one of the greatest losses in his life was that of his mother. She perished to breast cancer in 1907. After she passed, he spent several years selling watercolor paintings on the streets of Vienna and living in a homeless shelter.
In 1938, Time magazine announced Hilter "Man of the Year".
He usually went to bed around 4:00 to 5:00 a.m.
He had a full blown relationship with his niece. Yes, that, too.

In addition to his sister Paula, Hitler had one step-brother, Alois (b. 1882) and one step-sister, Angela (1883-1949), both from his father's previous marriage.
Hitler was known as "Adi" in his youth.
Hitler's father, Alois, was in his third marriage and 51 years old when Hitler was born. He was known as a strict man who retired from the civil service when Hitler was only six. Alois died when Hitler was 13.
Artist and Anti-Semite
Throughout his youth, Hitler dreamed of becoming an artist. He applied twice to the Vienna Academy of Art (once in 1907 and again in 1908) but was denied entrance both times.
At the end of 1908, Hitler's mother died of breast cancer.
After his mother's death, Hitler spent four years living on the streets of Vienna, selling postcards of his artwork to make a little money.
No one is quite sure where or how Hitler picked up his virulent antisemitism. Some say it was because of the questionable identity of his grandfather (was Hitler's grandfather Jewish?). Others say Hitler was furious at a Jewish doctor that let his mother die. However, it is just as likely that Hitler picked up a hatred for Jews while living on the streets of Vienna, a city known at the time for its antisemitism.
Hitler as a Soldier in World War I
Although Hitler attempted to avoid Austrian military service by moving to Munich, Germany in May 1913, Hitler volunteered to serve in the German army once World War I began.
Hitler endured and survived four years of World War I. During this time, he was awarded two Iron Crosses for bravery.
Hitler sustained two major injuries during the war. The first occurred in October 1916 when he was wounded by a grenade splinter. The other was on October 13, 1918, when a gas attack caused Hitler to go temporarily blind.
It was while Hitler was recovering from the gas attack that the armistice (i.e. the end of the fighting) was announced. Hitler was furious that Germany had surrendered and felt strongly that Germany had been "stabbed in the back" by its leaders.
Hitler Enters Politics
Furious at Germany's surrender, Hitler returned to Munich after the end of World War I, determined to enter politics.
In 1919, Hitler became the 55th member of a small antisemitic party called the German Worker's Party.
Hitler soon became the party's leader, created a 25-point platform for the party, and established a bold red background with a white circle and swastika in the middle as the party's symbol. In 1920, the party's name was changed to National Socialist German Worker's Party (i.e. the Nazi Party).
Over the next several years, Hitler often gave public speeches that gained him attention, followers, and financial support.
In November 1923, Hitler spearheaded an attempt to take over the German government through a putsch (a coup), called the Beer Hall Putsch.
When the coup failed, Hitler was caught and sentenced to five years in prison.
It was while in Landsberg prison that Hitler wrote his book, Mein Kampf (My Struggle).
After only nine months, Hitler was released from prison.
After getting out of prison, Hitler was determined to build up the Nazi Party in order to take over the German government using legal means.
Hitler Becomes Chancellor
In 1932, Hitler was granted German citizenship.
In the July 1932 elections, the Nazi Party obtained 37.3 percent of the vote for the Reichstag (Germany's parliament), making it the controlling political party in Germany.
On January 30, 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor. Hitler then used this high-ranking position to gain absolute power over Germany. This finally happened when Germany's president, Paul von Hindenburg, died in office on August 2, 1934.
Hitler took the title of Führer and Reichskanzler (Leader and Reich Chancellor).
Hitler as Führer
As dictator of Germany, Hitler wanted to increase and strengthen the German army as well as expand Germany's territory. Although these things broke the terms of the Versailles Treaty, the treaty that officially ended World War I, other countries allowed him to do so. Since the terms of the Versailles Treaty had been harsh, other countries found it easier to be lenient than risk another bloody European war.
In March 1938, Hitler was able to annex Austria into Germany (called the Anschluss) without firing a single shot.
When Nazi Germany attacked Poland on September 1, 1939, the other European nations could no longer stand idly by. World War II began.
On July 20, 1944, Hitler barely survived an assassination attempt. One of his top military officers had placed a suitcase bomb under the table during a conference meeting at Hitler's Wolf's Lair. Because the table leg blocked much of the blast, Hitler survived with only injuries to his arm and some hearing loss. Not everyone in the room was so lucky.
On April 29, 1945, Hitler married his long-time mistress, Eva Braun.

"Adolf Hitler was a tax dodging billionaire who even copyrighted his own image according to new documentary."
The evil dictator had numerous money-making schemes and even earned royalties from stamps featuring his picture. He falsified his returns and pretended to live on a modest income while stashing cash in secret bank accounts.
Much of this was hidden from Germany’s tax authorities after his rise to power. Income included cash for speeches and public appearances, according to Channel 5’s The Hunt For Hitler’s Missing Millions.
The programme estimates that by 1938 Hitler – often pictured saluting with his hand out – owed 400,000 marks in back tax, worth £1.75million now.
Large sections of Hitler’s tax returns from 1925 to 1933 were blank.

2.) At a young age (I believe 9 or 10), he almost drowned, but his life was saved by a Catholic priest.
3.) When his mother was terminally ill, her doctor was Jewish, when he rose to power and began his "cleansing" of Germany, he found the doctor and gave him safe passage out of the country
4.) His Nephew came to the US and donated to the Allied War effort, giving public speeches against his uncle and his ideals.

HITLER HAD ONLY ONE BALL
Initially, what was thought to be just a rumor, actually turned out to be true.The World War I medic, Johan Jambor, is said to have discovered an injured Hitler at the battle of the Somme in 1916 and saved his life.
A German army medic who treated an injured Adolf Hitler during World War I told a priest the Nazi leader did have just one testicle
Hitler was screaming for help as a result of injuries to the abdomen, claimed Jambor. His legs were covered in blood and he had lost a testicle.
How do we know this? Apparently, Jambor revealed all to a priest in the Sixties, adding poignantly that Hitler's first question to him was: 'Will I be able to have children?'
The priest dutifully wrote down the sensational revelation and now the vital document on which he recorded it has come to light.
Much as we would all love the story to be true, sadly it is merely the latest in a very long line of unfounded rumours about the most evil tyrant of the 20th century.
It is perhaps inevitable that someone who caused as much misery as he did should be surrounded by such a welter of unsubstantiated gossip, half-truths, innuendos, weird theories and pure lies, as we search for explanations about what drove this extraordinary, complicated, ultimately satanic individual.
The allegation that Hitler lost his testicle at the battle of the Somme has, in fact, been around for decades, and of course formed the basis of the morale-boosting ditty 'Hitler has only got one b***', supposedly written in 1939 and sung uproariously by every schoolboy since.

Yet it was no more true than the subsequent assertions that Heinrich Himmler 'has something similar', or that 'poor old Goebbels has no b***s at all'.
Hitler's conscientious physician Dr Theodor Morell, who knew every inch of the Fuhrer intimately and had the trust and affection of his patient, certainly made no mention of it, and neither do any contemporaneous or subsequent medical records.
The unsubstantiated claims of a friend of a long forgotten German army medic are frankly unconvincing as evidence, and no autopsy could be carried out on the charred remnants of the Fuhrer's corpse.
So the claim that Hitler was monorchic (the medical term for having one testicle) must join the many other weird assertions that have been made about him over the 119 years since his birth in 1889.
There were tales, for example, of the infant Hitler having his penis bitten off by a goat into whose mouth he was attempting to urinate.
And respectable modern medical journals have even published articles on the supposed potty-training techniques used by his mother.
Many different theories have been adduced for why Hitler hated the Jews, from his catching syphilis from a Jewish prostitute, via his feeling cheated because the Jewish Dr Eduard Bloch failed to save his mother from dying of breast cancer, to the Jewish professors who turned him away from the Visual Arts Academy of Vienna.
Some claim he had nothing against the Jews personally; he just used them as a scapegoat in order to become Chancellor of Germany.
And then there is his sexuality. Dr Lothar Machtan of Bremen University recently claimed that not only was Hitler a promiscuous homosexual before coming to power in 1933, and a severely repressed one afterwards, but that he instituted the Night of the Long Knives massacre of July 1934 (when he killed 150 of his own Brownshirt supporters) to cover up this guilty secret.
Hitler: 'The most evil tyrant of the 20th century'
According to Dr Machtan, Hitler was an insatiably promiscuous and predatory homosexual, who acted out his crushes on chauffeurs, fellow soldiers, Viennese rent-boys and casual street pick-ups.

Initially, what was thought to be just a rumor, actually turned out to be true.The World War I medic, Johan Jambor, is said to have discovered an injured Hitler at the battle of the Somme in 1916 and saved his life.
Hitler was screaming for help as a result of injuries to the abdomen, claimed Jambor. His legs were covered in blood and he had lost a testicle.
How do we know this? Apparently, Jambor revealed all to a priest in the Sixties, adding poignantly that Hitler's first question to him was: 'Will I be able to have children?'
The priest dutifully wrote down the sensational revelation and now the vital document on which he recorded it has come to light.
Much as we would all love the story to be true, sadly it is merely the latest in a very long line of unfounded rumours about the most evil tyrant of the 20th century.
It is perhaps inevitable that someone who caused as much misery as he did should be surrounded by such a welter of unsubstantiated gossip, half-truths, innuendos, weird theories and pure lies, as we search for explanations about what drove this extraordinary, complicated, ultimately satanic individual.

Hitler was actually the third child of his father's third marriage.
He had one sister, Paula Hitler and a half-brother and a half-sister. His half-brother ran a pub which was frequented often by Nazi officials, and was despised by Hitler himself.
Hitler's father, Alois Hitler, grew up with his uncle, who was also Hitler's mother's grandfather. This way, Hitler's father married his second cousin. In fact, Hitler's family (especially the paternal side) was known for intermarriage.
Alois Hitler was originally called Alois Schicklgruber, since that was his mother's name. However, to ratify the will of his uncle, Alois needed his father to confirm that he was a Hitler. Had his father not turned up to ratify the will, which also led to Alois taking up the name Hitler, Adolf (Alois' son) would very easily have been called Adolf Shicklgruber. Historians are fairly certain that Hitler would never have gained such popular support had he taken the comical surname, Shickgruber instead of Hitler.

Agreeing with Jonas Luster:
continuing:
Both quotes in The Taste of War: World War II and the Battle for Food by Lizzie Collingham, page 377.
Hitler himself ate a peculiar vegetarian diet and generally served austere and execrable food at his dining table. A typical meal might consist of 'a horrible grey barley broth -- with crackers and some butter, with Gervais-cheese as pudding'. ...Picker, Henry, HitlersTischgespräche im Führerhauptquartier....

His weakness was sugar. Hitler loved fancy cakes and chocolate bars and could eat as much as 2 pounds of chocolate in one day.Proctor, Robert N., The Nazi War on Cancer.
Both quotes in The Taste of War: World War II and the Battle for Food by Lizzie Collingham, page 377.
He was a vegetarian and hated people smoking around him. He also drank very little (if any) alcohol. He had hoped to be an artist and had tried to study art and make a living at it, but failed. He was secretly given Hollywood movies and Disney cartoons by Goebell which they watched for hours in Hitler's private theater. Hitler's sexuality remains questionable. There are only two women he was ever close to. He had a very close relationship with his niece controlling her and having her live (almost as a prisoner) in his Munich apartment where she killed herself at age 23. There is no concrete evidence of anything physical, just his obsession with her and his need to dominate her. There are rumors of his sexual appetites that I am not going to go into because 1) they are not substantiated and 2) are really gross (urination, etc). Of course he married Eva Braun right before they committed suicide. Those close called her his "companion" and said they were like brother and sister. Even those who lived with them (in the house he kept her) could not say they had any physical relationship, she also attempted suicide a few times. He refused to marry her staying he was "married to Germany". Hitler was born in Austria, his father was abusive and was the son of a prostitute. He did not even come close to being the "pure Aryan" that he was espousing as the master race to lead Germany for the 1,000 year Reich. He had a dog he adored, a German shepherd named "Blondie" who he killed before he killed himself in the bunker. (Always wondered who walked the dog in the bunker?)

He was a nihilist who is often quoted by people he socialized with as saying that he considered his life to be a throwaway thing without meaning and that suicide was as good a way to end it as any. This is reported by people who knew him before the First World War and close aides and subordinates during his period as Fuhrer.
When a pile of bones were found burning in a ditch outside his Berlin war bunker, and Nazi officers reported these were the remains of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun and their dog, the US commanders did indeed discover the remains of two humans and a dog, but refused to believe they included those of Hitler, believing it to be a deception, and that all allied units should be on the alert to apprehend Hitler. Out of the commanders of all the allied forces, only the Soviets insisted that they contained the authentic remains of Hitler and Eva Braun, because they refused to live with the idea that Hitler could still be alive.
All of the Nazi high officials were said to have made a suicide pact. Goebbels had six children, one of whom was a sixteen year old girl, to whom he gave poisoned chocolate, and those who discovered the bodies of the Goebbelsfamily reported that the girl's jaw had been broken in two places where Goebbels had forced her to eat the chocolate.
He had a nephew who lived in Liverpool during the second world war. [William Patrick Stuart-Houston]. The nephew maintained a constant correspondence with Hitler throughout the war, claiming that he was working for the Nazi cause, and begging Hitler to send him packets of money, so that he could continue to mingle with the British political class and report anything important back to Hitler. Likewise, Stuart Houston was offering his "consulting" services to Whitehall, reporting anything of value included in Hitler's letters. In fact, he was a slippery wide-boy living the life of a dilitant, playing both sides, and partying hard during WWII. The area of Liverpool he lived in was marked as demarcated for non-aggression by Hitler.

They say Hitler's first love was a Jewish girl. Not sure about that though. Here's a fact though: Adolf Hilter was a self-educated high school drop out.
Hitler was saved from drowning at the age of 4 by a local priest in Passau, Germany.

Hitler's toilet is in a New Jersey auto shop!
After a crazy turn of events, the authentic toilet of the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, is sitting in an auto shop in a small town in New Jersey - along with his sink faucets. But the question remains, how did they get there?
Adolf Hitler owned the world's largest private yacht at the time, the Aviso Grille. The yacht was between 400 and 500 feet long, and Hitler was planning to sail it down the Thames in London and go live in the Palace in Windsor. Well, things didn't turn out that way for Hitler (thank goodness), and the ship was sent to the states after the war ended.
After briefly being used as an illegal museum, the United States government ordered that the ship was to be scrapped because they feared the yacht would become an Adolf Hitler appreciation museum. The ship was scrapped, however, the a scrapyard owner decided he didn't want to scrap some of the finer things in the yacht - like the toilet. The scrapyard owner gave the toilet and faucets to a friend who was remodeling his bathroom, however they ended up in his auto body shop after he found out the toilet's origin!

I'm not sure if this is a "little known fact" regarding Adolf, but it might be regarding Eva Braun-his wife. I found the following two facts to be interesting. Hitlers wife Eva Braun was 20+ yrs younger than Adolf. She and Adolf were married less than 24 hours before committing suicide.
Also, Eva had tried committing suicide years earlier (while still Adolfs mistress) by taking 38 sleeping pills as a means to get him to pay attention to her.

- Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte both rose to power during a time of a new European democratic republic and became dictators afterwards
- Both invaded the majority of Europe through a massive war series of wars, plus campaigns in North Africa
- They attempted to invade Russia but failed; seen as a turning point ultimately leading to their downfall. Russian winter didn't help in both cases
- They were defeated by a coalition with big involvement from the British
- Before involved with politics they were corporals (ok, maybe not entirely true )
- Both were considered 'foreigners' to the nations

It's hard to believe but
Hitler had only one Ball
Hitler has only got one ball,
The other is in the Albert Hall
His mother, the dirty bugger,
Cut it off when he was small.
She threw it into a great big tree
It fell in-to the deep blue sea
The fishes grabbed their dishes
And ate scallops and bollocks for tea
She tied it upon a conker tree
The wind came and blew it out to sea
The fishes got out their dishes
And had scallops and bollocks for tea
She threw it over West Germany,
It landed in the deep blue sea,
The fishes got out their dishes,
And had scallops and bollocks for tea.
WWI medical records
In November 2008, the discovery of an eye-witness account on how Hitler was treated after being shot on the Western Front during World War I was announced in the press. According to these reports, a former German Army Medic named Johan Jambor gave an account to a Polish priest and amateur historian, Franciszek Pawlar, in the 1960s, of how he saved Hitler's life in 1916 after a groin injury and saw that he had lost a testicle. Pawlar's record of the conversation was discovered by Pawlar's relatives and published by Polish author Grzegorz Wawoczny. According to the German tabloid Bild, a surviving friend of Jambor's, Blassius Hanczuch, has confirmed Jambor's story, adding that Jambor and his co-rescuers dubbed Hitler "screamer" (Schreihals) because, as they were carrying him away, they came under French fire and had to temporarily abandon him, upon which he began to scream very loudly, imploring them to come back and threatening them with court martial if they left him behind.
Military records show that Hitler was wounded in 1916 during the Battle of the Somme, which has been described as a wound to the groin. Hitler's World WarI company commander has said that a VD exam found that Hitler had only one testicle.
Robert G.L. Waite, in his book The Psychopathic God: Adolf Hitler(1978), accepts the accuracy of this evidence:
Since the matter is of considerable importance to the psychological development of Hitler from infancy onward, let us pause here and come to grips with the problem of the Fuehrer's testicles. It can now be affirmed that the British Tommies were right all along in the first line of their version of the Colonel Bogey March, they were although manifestly mistaken in the last—that is to say, unless Goebbels' six children were the progeny of adoption, paternal surrogacy or some hitherto unconsidered, presumably unpalatable "Gott mit uns" form of divine intervention.Soviet autopsy.
In 1970, the definitive Soviet autopsy on Hitler's remains was released. This document, which was allegedly compiled shortly after the conclusion of World War II on the basis of examination of the remains claimed to be those of the Führer stated he was monorchid. It stated:
"The autopsy performed by the Red Army pathologists on Hitler's body... [produced clear] findings:The left testicle could not be found either in the scrotum or on the spermatic cord inside the inguinal canal, or in the small pelvis[...]"
However as the release occurred at the height of the Cold War, its conclusions have been questioned in terms of propaganda. For instance journalist Ron Rosenbaum argues in his book Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil that the Soviet autopsy of Hitler cannot be accepted as authoritative because the Führer's body was said to have been almost completely immolated after his suicide inside the Führerbunker. There was not enough sufficient remains for any proper analysis or findings to be conducted. Rosenbaum says that based on information from Hitler's own doctor and recantations by the compilers of the published form of the report, the Soviet autopsy report was a fabrication.
An interview with the Soviet doctor, Lt. Col. Faust Shkaravski, who led Hitler's autopsy is in the extras section on the DVD of the 1970s ground breaking documentary The World At War. Shkaravski claims that those performing the autopsy unexpectedly found one testicle missing. The programme presents dental evidence showing an autopsy really was conducted; but as the interview was conducted in the 1970s, it also demonstrates how the findings were distorted for political reasons as Shkaravski states Hitler was categorically not shot in the head. However since the making of the series, more evidence has been found showing that Hitler had fired a bullet into his skull.
