1930's Figure

Picking one figure from the 1930's with the biggest impact, I picked Hitler. Although he was known best for his atrocities and crimes against humanity, he was a man of immense national pride and great ambition. He took over Germany from the ranks of the Nazi Party, after the fall of the Wiemar Republic. He served in World War I in the grim trench warfare of the Eastern Front. Here he was molded and driven to his famous mindset of German Supremacy throughout Europe. After many attempted "Beer Hall Revolts", he was thrown in jail. Here he wrote his life work "Mein Kampf". In this he detailed all of his plans for the expansion of Germany and his plan for conquest. Although seen as one of the cruelest men in history, he was well known as a savior to the people of Germany and even a friend to his people. Cruel, bitter, greedy, and overly ambitious he was seen as but will forever be remembered as a great leader and representation of the power of corruption and over ambition.
