Born in 1889 in Braunau am Inn in Austria, Hitler was a man [[Freudian Excuse|with an unhappy childhood]]. His father<ref>whose wife (Hitler's mother) was his niece, also making Adolf his grand-nephew, and who was possibly Jewish</ref> [[Abusive Parents|beat him frequently]], inculturating young Adolf into violence and domination, before having the courtesy to die around his son's eleventh birthday. Adolf spent the rest of his childhood in Vienna with his mother, who led a Bohemian lifestyle, and his younger siblings, whom he bullied and bossed around.

With his mother dead and himself rejected from art school twice ([[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|which he blamed on Jews and modern art]]), he avidly took up arms in [[World War I]] and fought on the front lines, but joined the Imperial German army instead of the Austrian one, since he didn't want to fight side by side with Slavs. He was decorated with an Iron Cross for bravery, wounded, returned to the front lines, [[The Goggles Do Nothing|blinded by a gas attack]], and returned to the front again. His war experiences would remain with him his entire life.

:: There is a distinct possibility that the name Hitler/Hiedler/Hidler (naming rules were a bit lax in previous centuries) [[Irony|was derived from the Slavonic (Czech) ''Hidlar'' or ''Hidlarcek'']]. Some of his family members attested that that there were Moravians in the family line.

* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: Stands as one of the most influential people.<ref>[[I Thought It Meant|Not]] influential as in "inspiring", [[Nietzche Wannabe|maybe]], but in "''groundbreaking''". Look at the above [[Ruined FOREVER]] list, [[Hitler Ate Sugar]], [[Long List|etc.]] if you ''cannot see it''.</ref> Even ''Time'' considered him as a part of the cover.

* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: He seemed to have had an affinity of some sort for wolves. His first name derives from ''Athalwolf'', Old High German for (as stated above) "noble wolf", and for this reason "Wolf" [[Card-Carrying Villain|became his childhood nickname]]. He later used it as a pseudonym for himself in the 1920s, ostensibly for security reasons. When his sister Paula Hitler asked him for financial support around 1930 (she was fired from her job in Vienna when her employers found out who her brother was) he granted her request, but insisted that she go under the assumed name "Paula Wolf" from then on. Some of his military headquarters were named ''Wolfsschanze'' ("wolf's lair"), ''Wolfsschlucht'' ("wolf's chasm"), and ''Wehrwolf'' (lit. "defense wolf", probably a play on words with ''Werwolf'' i.e. "[[Werewolf]]").

* [[Big Damn Kiss]]: With Eva Braun when she [[Undying Loyalty|told him she wouldn't leave Berlin for Bavaria in 1945.]] According to eyewitnesses it was an incredibly awkward moment for all concerned except Adolf and Eva.
