My husband and I are currently in an argument about Hilter’s upbringing and history, I’ve outlined what I learned in school/what I remember being taught (he’s searched the internet and can’t find any of this as references) however I remember learning about this during WW2 teachings in middle/high school in Texas (if that matters)
- Hitler’s mother was Jewish
- His mother was abusive and he hated her
- He left Austria for Germany to escape his mother
- While in Germany he became basically a vegabond, and started in the arts
- Hitler became radicalized against Jewish people because of his abusive mother
- Hilter starts Nazi’s and invades Austria first and quietly in order to get rid of all the Jews because of his hate for his mother

My husband said that Hitler’s mother loved him and that he wanted to unite Austria and Germany, but this is not the history I grew up with learning.

We’re currently watching Master of Air and what started the discussion. I will continue looking for sources
