    Adolph 'Adi' Hitler. 1889 -1945.
    Religion, Christian.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When the First World War broke out Hitler said.
    "Overpowered by stormy enthusiasm I fell down
    on my knees and thanked heaven for granting me
    the good fortune of being permitted to live at this time".

    Adolph 'Adi' Hitler. 1889 -1945.

    Hitler was rescued from his drifting life
    by rumblings of war and oncoming strife.
    Germany not Austria his leanings were bent
    his spirits lifted by this awesome event.

    The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand
    by a man named Princip from Serbian land.
    Austro-Hungary attacked the Serbs
    then Russia and France called on reserves.

    Belgian nuetrality the Germans ignored
    the British lion awakened then roared.
    Hitler signing for Bavarian command
    overcome with enthusiasm for his adopted land.

    For Hitler the army a base and a home
    stopping his restless urge to roam.
    With the 'List' regiment he first saw war
    at Ypres in Belgium he started his tour.

    Decorated early in this vicious war
    the Iron Cross 2nd class he very soon wore.
    Competent, courageous, alert, keen,
    a credit to any fighting machine.

    Between actions quietly reserved
    drawing, philosophy studiously observed.
    No presents or cards at Christmas time
    his pet dog 'Foxl' suited him fine.

    Surviving Ypres and making his name
    the battle at Somme his next little game.
    A wound in the leg caused him to fall
    convalescing, his nature, not suited at all.

    Back in action for the last great push
    heading for Paris in a desperate rush.
    Nearly, the name of this little game
    a desperate attempt before Americans came.

    A First Class Iron Cross Hitlers reward
    a Jewish officer gave the award.
    At the second Ypres in a gas attack
    partly blinded, he would be back.

    The Iron Cross First Class normally only given to
    Commissioned officers.
