The Leader in Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler, one of the most controversial figures in the history of mankind. To some he has been likened as the reincarnate of Satan himself. He has been described as amongst the ruthless and wretched persons who ever traversed our present age. His political ambitions and his ideologies have been described as the most unconvincing. Yet they were widely used [against the will of his people apparently] to further selfish ambition. If a child is born today, the first thing he/she is likely to read or hear about Adolf Hitler is how evil he was and how much he deserved to die ten times over for his atrocities.
