Military Service in the First World War

Prior to his political career, Adolf Hitler served in the Bavarian Army during the First World War. He was deployed to the Western Front, where he served primarily as a dispatch runner, a dangerous role that exposed him to enemy fire. During his service, he sustained significant injuries.

In 1916, he was wounded in the leg during the Battle of the Somme. Later, in October 1918, he was temporarily blinded by an Allied mustard gas attack near Ypres, Belgium.

According to records maintained by the Imperial War Museums, the physical and psychological impacts of the First World War profoundly shaped the post-war political landscape in Germany. Hitler was recovering in a military hospital in Pasewalk when he learned of Germany’s surrender, an event that fueled his embrace of the antisemitic “stab-in-the-back” myth.

For his wartime service, he was awarded the Iron Cross, Second Class, in 1914, and the Iron Cross, First Class, in 1918, decorations that he later exploited heavily in Nazi propaganda to build his political image.

  1. People who call Trump Hitler
    Are jealous of his patriotism and accomplishments

    And, are uneducated

  2. Yes the ideology of authoritarian fascism is a product of the same right wing thinking of the republican’ts especially the magas!!

  3. Hitler killed gypsies, nuns, priests, communists, gays etc….over 20 million people…why do we only hear about the Jews?

  4. So, where are the ‘6 Facts’ you mentioned?

    Someone published that Hitler said he would ‘make Germany great again.’ If this is true, shouldn’t THIS be published over and over? Maybe become your 7th Fact! American Republicans need to see this over and over so they can quit fawning over Trump and dragging the United States of America into ruin.

  5. Strange Hitler never had children to carry on his madness for his country. Sad that a mad man could stigmatize a nation to carry on his ill gotten thoughts to get rid of an entire race of Jewish people whose only fault was being Jewish. Hitler was a sad sick monster figure who finally met his end not by glory but by defeat. Those who are deniers if they were sent to killing camps would say, now I believe. Shame on them

  6. It’s a shame that most people don’t take the time to actually search out the truth . Hitler was not a maniac, in fact just the opposite, he was trying to cleanse the world of parasites !! The gassing of Jews is a lie !! He tried to save us from the evil Jewish Bolshevik red plague !

  7. This article tries to humanize a barbarian with delusions of grandeur! Nothing in this article is new, and frankly it’s tiring reading about this monster. Of course he didn’T go to the camps, that would have made him face his demons…. I wish people would stop using the word Nazi or Hitler to describe every politician that disagrees with them…. It belittles the victims of the Holocaust, and it makes it look like there is room on this planet for another atrocity.. In fact,T there are other mass slaughters going on, but no one talks about it. The Sudan, Libya, Yemen, China, Syria, and more are committing mass murder on their own people, yet where is the Outrage???? I would like to see more articles about the current atrocities to remind people that if you don’t learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it.
