Portrait Lives: Adolf Hitler

It's Portrait Lives Saturday!
Every Saturday features a Portrait Lives, which is a weekly post showing the age progression in specific historical figures through contemporary portraits of them. 


He is always shown and thought of as worst person in history, most certainly one of the most insane political figures in history, and he was. He was responsible for over 4 million Jews being dehumanized and executed.

Here is a Portrait Lives about him:

He was born on April 20, 1889 in Austria.

president...and lose.
Hitler aged about 38, this
is about when the Nazis
 came to power
Aged about 43, around this time he is appointed German Chancellor

I bet the German people were thinking
"didn't he just lose the election
for president?"

been opened, horrible large-scale
discriminating systematic war crimes.
