Hitler and Opinion of the Jews

Posted on January 8, 2008

Hitler was excited about the beginning of World War I.  He believed that Germany was superior to other European nations, and probably saw it as their right to control them.  He was very patriotic and because of this he saw the war as a great opportunity.

During the war Hitler seemed to still strongly believe in the cause, although his sprits were as dampened as his boots.  He didn’t find it enjoyable or fun, merely something that had to be done.  He writes of the miserable conditions but doesn’t seem to really complain about them.  I think this is because of his patriotism.

The end of the war and the surrender of Germany came as a hard blow to Hitler in his hospital bed on November 10th 1918.  He, as many people, had become comfortable in the trenches, and almost went crazy at the thought of returning home.  Like many Germans, Hitler didn’t see the war ending so abruptly and it tore him apart inside.

At then end of the war I’m sure Hitler’s hate for the Jewish people had intensified, but now he probably began to resent all foreigners, blaming them for the loss of the war.  I think before the war he hated Jewish people and outsiders at like a 7/10 but after the war it was almost a blinding hate, like a 10/10.
