Early LifeAdolfus Jacob Hitler was born on April 20 1889 to Klara and Alois Hitler in the Braunau Am Inn, Austria
Adolf Hitler was born a catholic out of wedlock to his mother and father. His father was a mid level customs official and did not marry Hitler's mother until 5 years after he was born. As he grew older he wanted to pursue an education in art but his father disagreed and wanted Hitler to work in the Habsburg civil service. It wasn't until after his father and his mother died that he was able to go after the career he wanted to. After a failed attempt in the art industry he tried to join the Hungarian army but was rejected. He was successful in joining the German army only because it was during WWI and they needed troops.
