Top 10 Facts You Did Not Know About Adolf Hitler
1. Hitler is synonymous with his moustache but few people know that his preferred style was that of handlebar variety. During World War I, he was ordered to trim his moustache so that it would fit underneath gas masks.
2. He loved animals and upon coming to power in January 1933, proclaimed that “In the new Reich, no more animal cruelty will be allowed”.
3. In 1937, Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung analyzed Hitler’s handwriting and wrote that it included “typical characteristics of a man with essentially feminine instinct”.
4. Adolf Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1939! However, he withdrew his nomination on February 1, 1939 and his name never appeared in a shortlist.
5. He was staunchly opposed to smoking and launched what was probably the first anti-smoking mass movement in the world during the 1930s and early 1940s.
6. Hitler never visited a single concentration camp.
7. It was reported that he had only one testicle.
8. He regarded Henry Ford as his inspiration and kept Ford’s portrait behind his desk.
9. Hitler was so paranoid that he employed food tasters in order to avoid an assassination attempt by poisoning.
10. During the World War II, when Paris fell to German forces, the French Resistance cut the elevator cables to the Eiffel Tower, in order to prevent Hitler from visiting it. Faced with the daunting prospect of climbing over 1500 stairs, Hitler opted out.
As a leader, Hitler maintained legitimate power, however he could achieve it (Hughes, Ginnett, Curphy). When Hitler joined the Nazi Party, he felt that the leadership was divided and ineffective, paving the perfect path for him to take over. While there were many in the party who disapproved of his personal ambition, most recognized his abilities to generate public attention for the party; therefore, when Hitler threatened to resign in 1921, the other members decided to grant him overall leadership because they knew they needed his expertise.
Throughout his rule, Hitler maintained a mission and outlook that Sashkin would say fulfills the requirements of visionary leadership. He constructed a vision that stated the “Aryan race” was superior to all and “defin[ed] an organizational philosophy” that supported this inequality. Hitler and the Nazi party practiced what they believed in, starting the “new order” and expelling Jews from Germany by any means possible, including extermination. Despite the lack of respectable values, Hitler is a leader according to Sashkin’s definition.
