| Adolf Hitler, 2 August 1934 – 30 April 1945 |
Iconic Moustache
His press secretary advised him to get rid of his mustache in 1923, but Hitler liked it. He was reportedly a fan of Charlie Chaplin, seen here. Chaplin is in this video being Hitler in “The Great Dictator.”

Near Death
A young Adolf nearly drowned at age four. A priest happened to save his life. It was the first time death would narrowly miss Hitler, but not the last.

By Any Other Name
Had his father not changed the family name to Hitler, his name would have been Adolf Schicklgruber.

First Love
One of Hitler's early loves, possibly his first, was a Jew. Stefanie Isak caught his eye in 1905 when she was a blushing 16. The two attended the same school, and he loved her from afar. By all accounts, he never spoke to her and Stefanie had no idea of his feelings for her.

World War I Rescue
Adolf Hitler almost died while serving during World War I. He was badly wounded and facing his enemy, a British soldier. That Englishman spared Hitler’s life, not knowing the events he was setting into motion. British soldiers are the subject of this photograph.

Blood Enemy
Hitler bombed his own nephew’s home in Liverpool during his campaign against England, whether by accident or design. The nephew, seen here, went to America to join the U.S. Navy in order to join the fight against Hitler.

Man Of The Year
Hitler was the Man of the Year for Time Magazine in 1938. It was intended to shed light on his negative actions, but it remains a bizarre fact to this day that Time can’t live down.

Animal Love
Hitler was a vegetarian, and outspoken against animal cruelty. This picture is of Adolf in 1939 with his pet dog. Aptly, it’s a German shepherd.

Not All Jews Are Bad
Apparently, not every Jew deserved to be murdered. Hitler knew a Jewish doctor from Austria who once did not charge Hitler’s family for services. Hitler protected him from the horrors of World War II, and dubbed him a “noble Jew.”

Hitler’s Royalties
Almost 100 percent of the profits from Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf” go to charity. Bavaria currently holds the rights to the book and manages the money. However, the country sometimes has trouble finding charities willing to accept donations earned by sales of the infamous book.
