Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler (20th April, 1889 – 30th April, 1945) was Chancellor of Germany from 1933 and Führer (Leader) of Germany from 1934 to his death by suicide. He was leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP), better known as the Nazi Party.

Under Hitler's charismatic leadership Germany emerged from the depths of defeat to rebuild its economy and its decimated military. At the height of their power during World War II, the armies of Nazi Germany and its allies dominated much of Europe. The racial policies that Hitler directed culminated in a massive number of deaths, commonly cited as about 11 million people, including about 6 million Jews, in a genocide now known as the Holocaust.

Ultimately, Germany was defeated by the Allied powers in 1945, and during the final days of the war Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker in Berlin together with his newly wed wife, Eva Braun. The Third Reich, which he had said would last a thousand years, collapsed shortly thereafter.


 * The Doctor once claimed to have heard one of Hitler's speeches, and was reminded of it during the events of "The Daemons."


 * In 1938 Hitler acquired the arrow which was a key component of the Nemesis statue ("Silver Nemesis").


 * Millington maintained a replica of Hitler's office at the naval base at Maiden's Bay ("The Curse of Fenric").


 * Hitler was assisted in his rise to power by the War Lords and the Timewyrm, and even the Doctor gave words of advice and encouragement to him, later explaining to the shocked Ace that it was necessary to ensure history ran its proper course ("Timewyrm: Exodus").
