First World War Website
I read the article on Hitler and a letter from an American Soldier named Charles S. Normington.
In regards to Hitler, I learned several things that drove him towards anti-semitism. I had no idea Hitler had originally aspired to be an artist, nor did I know of his original lifestyle of working odd jobs and sleeping at railway stations. Although this sheds light on reasons for his twisted thinking, it by no means gives any justification about the actions he committed, particularly with the jewish community.
The letter from Normington to his family was also very interesting, as it gave me a pretty secure idea about the happiness that was spread after the end of the war. To have a first hand account on the parade that immediate followed the armistice. One could only imagine the feelings that were portrayed by the all soldiers after the ending of that war.

Hitler was a maniac but it was interesting to see how he became so. He lost his entire family and was subjected to poverty. However, this is still no reason to have begun a holocaust, you could see why he would become bitter among the years.
