Adolf Hitler (born 20 April 1889) is a German politician, who has served as the Führer and Reichschancellor of the Greater Germanic Reich since 1934. He rose to power within the National Socialist German Worker's Party, becoming its leader, before taking power in Germany in 1933. Acting with near-absolute power, he turned Germany into a totalitarian fascist state, and led the Reich into the Second World War. Since the war's end and Germany's victory, he has ruled Germany for almost three decades at game start, though has become increasingly incapable of ruling as he has aged. Slowly, members of his inner circle mainly consisting of Martin Bormann, Hermann Göring, Albert Speer and Reinhard Heydrich have carved out positions of power, only kept in check by the Führer's continued leadership.

In-Game Description

How does one begin to define Adolf Hitler, Führer and Reichskanzler of the Greater German Reich, the undisputed tyrant of 19 countries, the architect of Welthauptstadt Germania, Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht, Führer of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, and Time Magazine's Man of the Year in 1938, 1946, and 1961?

A man of humble beginnings, the son of Austrian Innkeepers, he was educated in Munich and Vienna and served with distinction with the German Army during the First World War. His rise to power was meteoric, none can deny, and even failed attempts like the Beer Hall Putsch served only to further his ambitions. His combination of violence and showmanship drove the communists and democrats out of the Reichstag and placed him into its highest office. Under his leadership, Germany broke the chains of the Versailles Treaty, developed a terrifying new military, and forced the other nations of Europe to their knees until the Swastika flew over all of Europe, from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea. Under his guidance, the Reich built such wonders as Atlantropa and Germania, and under his watchful eye, the Undesirables of Europe were viciously exterminated and fed to the flames.

But the lord and master of all Germany, of all Europe between the Urals and the Pyrenees, has grown old. Where his voice could once command a crowd's rapt attention there is now only quiet rasping, and a cold calculating mind of steel has gone to rust. The hands that penned Mein Kampf constantly tremble now, as he adds the final touches to a watercolor of those long-dead faces slipping from his memory. The greatest conqueror the world has ever known since Alexander and Napoleon is an old and frail man. In 1962, he is 73 years of age, and some dare to whisper that he is not long for this world. The fear of all the world is that once the Führer's funeral pyre is lit, it will spread the great conflagration of war all across Europe once more.
