Apocalypse: The Rise of HitlerAdolf Hitler (1889-1945) was a mediocre who rose to power because of the blindness and ignorance of the Germans, who believed he was nothing more than an eccentric dreamer.

As the dictatorship extended its relentless shadow, the leader claimed peace, but was preparing the Apocalypse.
