The impression of Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography I choose to read this book, not because of how much I have admired Hitler, but completely out of curiosity. I am curious how he became a German head of state from a beggar, also curious why he would massacre the Jews and what kind of environment caused of his strange personality, which leads to the World WarⅡ.

The book begins with Hitler’s childhood. When he was young, he was a good boy who studied well and had a dream to become an artist, but his father ignored his dream and treated him strictly even hit him. So he hated his father deeply. On the other hand, he is deeply accepted Germanic nationalism, which transformed into his belief later. Then, he took a bad knock when his mother who loved him so much died. From then on, he changed a lot. Later, he attended the Academy of Fine Arts entrance exam but failed all the time. At that time, he even became a beggar and suffered a lot of humiliation and pain. Since then, he began to hate the Jews and concern about politics. He always believed that he could become a great man in the future. It is in those days that he developed the sophistry ability.

When the World WarⅠbroke out, he joined the army. Although he was thin and weak, he was not afraid of death and had a passionate heart. So he gained a number of awards. Then, he became the head of state and recovered the German economic successfully. Actually, he had done a lot of great things but his evil behavior had overshadowed his work.

This book based on a large number of true files, letters, interviews and comprehensively and objectively describes Hitler’s military career and personal life. After I read the book, I saw a real Hitler and also believed that human nature is good, just as Kuby Schick said,” He is a visionary with a conscience, but he seems not satisfied with the present.

Since the end of World WarⅡ, a lot of people hated Hitler for he killed their close relatives and friends. At the same time, people evaluated him as ＂

madman＂, ＂Battle Frenzy＂ and ＂devil＂. Actually, all his crimes are indisputable, however, everyone has two sides. Maybe the evaluations of Hitler are also not objective, just as the author, John Toland said,＂In the opinion of some followers of Hitler, he is a hero, a failed Messiah; in the eyes of other people, he is still a madman, a politically and militarily fool and a cureless murderer. Some of his achievements obtained by means of crime.”

A famous contemporary German writer Thomas had said,” Hitler's appearance is not accidental and he is a really normal German phenomenon. I against many Germans look the appearance of Nazi as a historical accident. In fact, the real devil is in the heart of every German! Not Hitler chooses Germany but Germany chooses Hitler. Hitler’s appearance was not an accident, but an extreme emotional outbreak of depressed Germany whose national interests was damaged. Not only Hitler was crazy, but also tens of millions of German.” Before the World WarⅡ, Lindberg had said in the newspaper,” Hitler is not an insane maniac as the newspaper report. On the contrary, in my mind, he is a cold, sharp, shrewd and decisive leader.”

All in all, the reason why Hitler would become a devil was that his heaven was deprived, so he chose to hell. So we should treat Hitler objectively, instead of criticizing all the time.

 

第二篇：《希特勒传》读后感

读后感《希特勒传》——从乞丐到元首

自二战结束以来，许多人对于希特勒这个家伙痛恨至极，因为他的战争夺走了至亲之人的生命，同时，人们对他的评价也多用“疯子”“战争狂”“恶魔”等字眼。他的种种罪行无可辩驳，然而人都是有两面性的，也许人们对于希特勒的评价也不够客观。而此书能以大量真实档案、书信、访谈作为依托，客观全面地记叙了希特勒的军政生涯和个人生活。

读过此书后，我不禁感到希特勒的复杂，也让我看到了一个真实的希特勒。

好孩子

小时候的希特勒，是一位好孩子。他学习很好，经常得到最高学分；嗓子也很好，有时候利用下午时间去修道院学唱歌。在孩童时，他的愿望是当一名牧师，常借女佣的围裙来作神衣，久久而热心地给他们讲道。他在学校是个孩子王，骄傲自负而又有叛逆精神，其顽皮也给家里惹了不少麻烦。接着，布尔战争使他深深地接受了日耳曼主义，也为他日后的信仰打了坚实的基础。在上了技工学校后，由于环境的改变他又变得安静而狂热。不久，他父亲与世长辞，快14岁的他成了家庭的主宰，他变得彬彬有礼，常常在夜晚用功研究地图，的梦想也改变了许多：成为一个画家。

追梦少年

从小希特勒同学便在绘画方面显出了很大的潜力，他会利用学习时间偷偷作画。由于身体不好，他辍了学，与一位热爱音乐的少年-库比席克成了朋友，常谈论互相的理想。希特勒对建筑的设计也表现了他不可抗拒的创作欲和明确的条理性。有一段时间他的生活几乎与众隔离，晚上睡得很晚，白天全天呆在屋子里，看书画画或搞设计。他终于说服母亲，带着梦来到了维也纳，但却在入学考试中失利了，随后又因为母亲的病不得不回来。阿道夫全心全意的照顾母亲，可见他是个孝子。母亲死时，他悲痛万分，曾目击过许许多多死亡清净的布洛克医生（一位犹太人，希特勒为感恩后来很照顾他）回忆说“我从未见过有谁像阿道夫希特勒那样悲痛的。”

处理了家中事宜后，18岁的希特勒再次来到维也纳与库比席克追寻梦想，由于穷困，他常挨着饿，继续作画，也喜欢去剧院看歌剧，弹房东的钢琴。他曾设计过各种住宅，还尝试写过话剧和音乐剧。后来，在与一个朋友合作，通过卖画挣了一些钱后，他开始对政治感兴趣，常把写作室变成争论或演讲的场所。

狂热的演说奇才

还有很多有意思的，能体现希特勒性格特点和才华的事，这里就不一一列举了。但是有一点必须要提，那就是他的演说才华和个人魅力。就凭这两点，他使一个只有六个人的德国国家社会主义党逐步发展壮大，直至国家唯一合法的党派（纳粹党），并一党专制。书中有很大篇幅用来描写他的演讲。他的演讲适用于各个阶层，各个领域的人。他利用手势，坚定的目光和咆哮征服了许多人。他的演讲是和演讲稿一点不差的，在演讲之前他必会调查听众的种类，以便做出足够引人的演讲。

以上是一些书中描写的希特勒同学的偏优点的事情（不全），可是其主张却毕竟是邪恶的。而看完此书后我也明白了为什么他的主张能博得群众的拥戴。用一句原话说，“他的力量之秘密在于：他对运动，因而也是对德国的狂热的忠贞信赖。”

以上是我读《希特勒传》的感受，愿大家能客观地看待每一位历史人物，取其精华去其糟泊，以史为鉴。
