Quote:"All great movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic eruptions of human passions and emotions, stirred into activity by the ruthless Goddess of Distress or by the torch of the spoken word cast into the midst of the people." - Adolf Hitler
BIG QUESTION: To what extent has Hitler shaped the world today as we know it?
Summary: Hitler used people's struggle and their hope to come into power with the help of propaganda and his paramilitary. He was a great speaker and very keen which allowed him to move up the ranks and obtain power, his racist beliefs were carried out and many people died as a result.
