Adolf Hitler[Note 1] was an Austrian-born German far-right politician and leader of the Nazi Party, who served as Chancellor from 1933 to 1934 and Führer from 1934 until his death in 1945. Hitler was responsible for remilitarisation, privatisation, the occupation of foreign countries, World War II, and the industrialised genocide of 11 million people commonly known as the Holocaust.
Life
In 1920 he was one of the organizers of the fascist National Socialist Party, a terrorist party of monopolistic capital, by order and on the money of German reactionaries. Stalin said "The party of the Hitlerites is a party of imperialists, moreover, the most predatory and plunderous imperialists among all the imperialists of the world". In 1923 the Hitlerites made a failed coup attempt in Munich ("beer hall putsch"). In 1933, in a deep economic and political crisis in Germany, the German imperialists called the Hitlerites to power.
Hitler and his clique, Stalin pointed out in 1942, "are the chain dogs of German bankers, putting the interests of the latter above all other interests".
With the approval of the ruling circles of England, France and the USA and with the assistance of the leaders of the German Social Democracy, Hitler established a terrorist dictatorship in Germany.
International reaction bet on Fascist Germany as the main force in the fight against the USSR and the revolutionary movement in order to strengthen the capitalist system and, on this basis, assisted Hitler. monopolies and using the support of the reactionary governments of England, France and the USA, which pursued a policy of collusion with aggressors, Hitlerites eliminated by a unilateral act the military limitations set by the Versailles Peace Treaty of 1919 and came to acts of direct aggression. Together with Italian Fascists they carried out an armed intervention against Republican Spain (1936-39), formed a block of aggressive states, invaded Austria (1938) and Czechoslovakia (1938-39), and unleashed the Second World War. After capturing a number of European countries, Hitler's Germany attacked the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941. "It is very likely," Stalin pointed out as early as 1942, "that a war to liberate the Soviet land will lead to the expulsion or destruction of the Hitler clique. We would welcome such an outcome. But it would be ridiculous to identify the Hitler clique with the German people, with the German state. The experience of history tells us that Hitlers come and go, but the German people and the German state remain".
The Soviet Union decisively defeated Hitler's Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-45, freed the German people from Hitlerism, ensured the preservation of national independence of the German people and opened the way to freedom and democracy.
Out of fear of a fair trial of the nations, Hitler committed suicide, as reported on May 1, 1945 by the German High Command.
