Adolf Hitler (20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, was chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 anddictator of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. Hitler is commonly associated with the rise of fascism in Europe, World War II, and the Holocaust.
A decorated veteran of World War I, Hitler joined the GermanWorkers' Party, precursor of the Nazi Party, in 1919, and became leader of the NSDAP in 1921.
