Born in Austria on the ………., Adolf Hitler is especially known for causing World War Two and for the attempted annihilation of millions of Jews.
In 1923, Hitler and his party attempted to seize power in Germany through violent demonstrations. As a consequence of the failed Munich Putsch, Hitler was jailed for 5 years.
The condition of the German nation in the 1920's, like many others at the time, was one of disorder and financial instability, and this climate favoured him in his execution of his plans to gain control by gaining many people's support. This, however, was only the start. The Nazi party terrorised its opponents until Hitler attained complete autonomy and became Fûhrer of Germany.

Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel was born Heidenheim, Germany, in 1891. He served in WW1 and in later yeas became an instructor at the Military Academy at Dresden. Erwin Rommel headed Hitler’s guard at the Nazi headquarters during the early years of the Second World War but moved to the front, leading a Panzer (tank) division during France’s 1940 invasion.
Field Marshal Rommel was the commander of the Afrika Korps, gaining the name of Dessert Fox following his repeated successes against the British, whose Eighth Army finally forced him into retreat.
Rommel, sick and defeated, was withdrawn and reassigned a commanding post in occupied France. He returned home wounded in 1944, when he committed suicide after being associated with the attempt on Hitler’s life which he is said to have condoned.
