No, but his nephew William Patrick Hitler did. He moved here to escape his uncle and joined the US Navy in WW2.

there is a great book to read about this:\n\nthe city at the center of the world\n\nessentially, the duke of york, the king of england's  brother, thought that controlling the port of new amsterdam would be advantageous to english colonial aspirations and business.  he sailed a navy and army there and the dutch settlers refused to help governor peter stuyvesant fight the english because stuyvesant had been such a tyrant.\n\nthe english took over and changed the name to new york, after the duke of york.  hopefully someone will come along and provide you with more details.

No. \nAdolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in the town of Braunau am Inn, Austria to Alois and Klara Hitler.\nThe family tree on the mother's side was unquestionably aryan down all the way of the family tree, so no Jews there.\nHitler's paternal grandmother, Maria Schicklgruber, gave birth to Alois, Hitler's father, in 1837. She was 42 and unmarried at the time and apparently never revealed the father's identity. Five years later she married Johann Georg Hiedler or Hitler (spelling was a bit casual in those days). But Alois kept the surname Schicklgruber until he was 39 years old. In 1876 a new baptismal certificate was issued declaring that Alois's stepfather J.G. Hiedler was in fact his real father. By this time both Maria and J.G. were dead. Why the name change so late in the day nobody really knows, but there is speculation that Alois did it so he could come into an inheritance. At any rate, few researchers today believe J.G. was really Alois's father. So Hitler's grandfather is unknown and could potentially have been anyone. But the Jewish part is pure unprovable speculation.

Adolf Hitler \nEncyclopædia Britannica Article \n \n \n born April 20, 1889, Braunau am Inn, Austria\ndied April 30, 1945, Berlin, Germany\n\n\nAdolf Hitler reviewing troops on the Eastern Front, 1939. \nHeinrich Hoffmann, Munich \n  \nbyname  Der Führer (German: “The Leader”)  leader of the National Socialist (Nazi) Party (from 1920/21) and chancellor (Kanzler) and Führer of Germany (1933–45). He was chancellor from January 30, 1933, and, after President Paul von Hindenburg's death, assumed the twin titles of Führer and chancellor (August 2, 1934). \n\nHitler's father, Alois (born 1837), was illegitimate. For a time he bore his mother's name, Schicklgruber, but by 1876 he had established his family claim to the surname Hitler. Adolf never used any other surname.\n\n\nEarly life\nAfter his father's retirement from the state customs service, Adolf Hitler spent most of his childhood in Linz, the capital of Upper Austria. It remained his favourite city throughout his life, and he expressed his wish to be buried there. Alois Hitler died in 1903 but left an adequate pension and savings to support his wife and children. Although Hitler feared and disliked his father, he was a devoted son to his mother, who died after much suffering in 1907. With a mixed record as a student, Hitler never advanced beyond a secondary education. After leaving school, he visited Vienna, then returned to Linz, where he dreamed of becoming an artist. Later, he used the small allowance he continued to draw to maintain himself in Vienna. He wished to study art, for which he had some faculties, but he twice failed to secure entry to the Academy of Fine Arts. For some years he lived a lonely and isolated life, earning a precarious livelihood by painting postcards and advertisements and drifting from one municipal hostel to another. Hitler already showed traits that characterized his later life: loneliness and secretiveness, a bohemian mode of everyday existence, and hatred of cosmopolitanism and of the multinational character of Vienna. \n\nIn 1913 Hitler moved to Munich. Screened for Austrian military service in February 1914, he was classified as unfit because of inadequate physical vigour; but when World War I broke out he immediately volunteered for the German army and joined the 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment. He served throughout the war, was wounded in October 1916, and was gassed two years later. He was hospitalized when the conflict ended. During the war, he was continuously in the front line as a headquarters runner; his bravery in action was rewarded with the Iron Cross, Second Class, in December 1914, and the Iron Cross, First Class (a rare decoration for a corporal), in August 1918. He greeted the war with enthusiasm, as a great relief from the frustration and aimlessness of civilian life. He found discipline and comradeship satisfying and was confirmed in his belief in the heroic virtues of war.\n\n\nRise to power\nDischarged from the hospital amid the social chaos that followed Germany's defeat, Hitler took up political work in Munich in May–June 1919. As an army political agent, he joined the small German Workers' Party in Munich (September 1919). In 1920 he was put in charge of the party's propaganda and left the army to devote himself to improving his position within the party, which in that year was renamed the National-sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (Nazi). Conditions were ripe for the development of such a party. Resentment at the loss of the war and the severity of the peace terms added to the economic woes and brought widespread discontent. This was especially sharp in Bavaria, due to its traditional separatism and the region's popular dislike of the republican government in Berlin. In March 1920 a coup d'état by a few army officers attempted in vain to establish a right-wing government. \n\nMunich was a gathering place for dissatisfied former servicemen and members of the

Yes. You are obviously attempting to make a point that Hitler was not so bad as everyone thinks he was.\n\nHitler was bitter because he felt Germany was spurned by Europe in the aftermath of the Treaty of Versailles. He was a strangely enigmatic man, and what he told people about Germany becoming great once again seemed wonderful to thousands of others who felt like he did.\n\nHitler used strongarm tactics (essentially, his hired thugs beat up anyone who stood in his way, hence the SA) to become Chancellor, and then he started the new Reich. \n\nHitler had announced intents to "regain" parts of the Fatherland lost in WWI, and this obviously shows his aggression. He started moving in quickly on Austria-Hungary and also he annexed other parts of Europe, over weak European protests. \n\nHitler built up German military forces, despite the re-creation of a strong German military banned in the Treaty of Versailles. This also shows his intent to start a war.\n\nWhen Hitler invaded Poland, he started World War II. He knew the consequences, he just thought that the English wouldn't hold true to their promise to fight. He knew he could beat France and Poland, and with Stalin as an ally he didn't have to worry about watching his back.\n\nHitler started WWII, no question about it. \n\nOh, one more thing. You cite Mein Kampf as a source. However, Mein Kampf is much more of a self-glorifying propoganda novel than an actual historical book. I read that book once, and I was sickened. It was truly a look into the mind of a twisted, evil man.\n\nIf you are sympathetic to the Nazi cause, reconsider. Nazis killed over seven million people in cold blood, and millions more for their own twisted motives.

Born Adolph Schicklgruber - he later took to using the last name of his stepfather ("Hitler").\n\nI can find no reference to him ever having had a middle name.

We remember so that we don't let history repeat itself.  Hitler was a great Orator who used his ability of speach giving to build up the Nazi party and eventually take control of Germany.  He was a Corporal in World War I and was devistated by the German Loss of the war as well as the terms of the surrender. He built an army with youth clubs and an Airforce out of Flying Clubs as Germany was restricted as to the number in each by the treaty of Versalles.  He built a strong organization of Secret Police and held a real tight reign on the people of Germany as well as the Annexed areas of Europe that were conceeded to him.\n\nOf course World War II started in 1939 when Hitler took Poland in about 3 weeks time and turned around and marched through France in 6 weeks.  The Europe war lasted until May 8, 1945.  The U.S. fought with Japan until September, 1945.\n\nBefore and during World War II Hitler dreamed of a society led by the German Aryan Race, he set out a plan to help produce more purity in Europe with his "Final Solution".  He was responsible for the genocide extermination of 6,000,000 Jews, as well as many Gypsies and Jehovah's Witnesses. He used most of these people before their extermination as slave labor for his war machine.  He was so adamant about the extermination of the Jews that he used resources such as Rail Roads that could have moved troops to the Russian front to move Jews to Extermination Camps.  All of the "Concentration Camps" also required much manpower that could have been put to use in the war effort.  By the end of the War Hitler was ordering troops that did not exist into battle.  He was quite ill with Parkinsons Disease and extremely paranoid of all germs and of course plots against his life.  He died by committing suicide so that he could not be taken alive.  His vast empire had collapsed into 3 square blocks when he finally died and the Germans continued to fight for a little over a week after his death.\n\nHitler needs to be remembered because of his "Racist" ideas and where they lead.  We need to remember what happened to all the people who died in what was probably the largest effort at genocide to date.  He built killing factories to do this work and it must be remembered so that we do not ever allow this thing to happen again in this world.  I believe that his failures in life were probably his greatest influence.  He spent around 2 years in prison after a failed revolt in 1923, during which time he wrote "Mein Kampf" in which he outlined his plans for Germany and his Master Race. The sales of this book made Hitler a Millionaire, which allowed him more time to spend on Politics and not have to worry about how to pay the bills.  His greatest Role Model was Benito Mussulini the Fascist Dictator of Italy, however later in the war it was Hitler that was the role model for Mussulini.\n\nThis is one page in history that we never want to see repeated and that is why we must remember Hitler.

[ Hitler saw active service in France and Belgium as a messenger for the 16th Bavarian reserve infantry regiment. His behaviour as a soldier was considered somewhat sloppy, but he readily volunteered for dangerous missions such as taking dispatches to and from fighting areas. Unlike his fellow soldiers, Hitler reportedly never complained about the food or hard conditions, preferring to talk about art or history. He was twice cited for bravery in action, receiving the Iron Cross, Second Class in December 1914 and the Iron Cross, First Class in August 1918, an honour rarely given to a Gefreiter. During October 1916 in northern France, Hitler was wounded in the leg, but returned to the front in March 1917. He received the Wound Badge later that year, as his injury was the direct result of hostile fire. ]\n\nNow any man who went through that much in a war is a hero to me... no matter what side he is on. \n\nHe was demented... but then he was ambitious too. And i suspect he was like me.. he couldn't stand failure. Especially ones own failures.... No wonder he was slightly off his rocker. \n\nHe saved germany's economy. \n\n[ Hitler oversaw one of the greatest expansions of industrial production and civil improvement Germany had ever seen, mostly based on debt flotation and expansion of the military. The unemployment rate was cut substantially. \nHitler also oversaw one of the largest infrastructure improvement campaigns in German history, with the construction of dozens of dams, autobahns, railroads and other civil works. ]\n\nNow a man like that is defenitely a hero for any nation... \n\n\nHitler was a brave man and a leader second to none... But was he a true Hero? \n\nI DONT THINK ANYONE CAN OR SHOULD ANSWER...
