This view on Hitler takes up through the turmoils of his life from beig rejected from art school to his time during World War 1. Though it might feel rushed in some places it does shine a light as to how he convinced the German people to rise up and make the German Workers Party become the infamous political group we now know as the Nazi party.  With the influence of Anton Drexler and his original work "My Political Awakening" in German Beer Halls around the 1920's Hitler soon became the spokeman and figurehead of the party.  The one question that is repeated throughout is "How did Germany lose the war?" according the Hitler he said it was the Jews, with this it brought a group of people within everyone's minds to blame; a scapegoat because with Hitler nothing exceeded German pride and putting the blame on a devasting loss as well as The Treaty of Versailles on the Jews grew that pride.  In all though this manga with its flaws does show an inciteful synopsis of the way how Hitler rose to power as well as show a light in his younger years with a brief mentioning of how his hatred toward the jewish race started from. If your in High School or Middle School learning about WW2 I would recommend this to get a better understanding of what History books or the book "The Wave" was describing.

This manga is quite good but it felt unfinished. I hope there were more chapters. You can finish this within 20 minutes. It tells the background story of hitler how he became a political leader from a normal soldier.  If anyone knows some good manga's etc about hitler plz let me know.

I could never think I could stumble upon a manga about the well known sick minded individual who killed millions of Jews during World War 2…Hitler ladies and gents…. I discovered this manga from the Inside Japan Tours website and let me tell you, I was hesitant to read this manga because of the fact I am reading a real life criminal mastermind. Anyways I go in and at first glance, it gives you the “Attack On Titan” vibes since it is obviously about war and you get a short summary of how Hitler became remembered as the sick human of the universe as we know him today. It shows from childhood that his father wasn’t at all supportive of him becoming an artist and once his parents dies, he is gone into poverty and his anger towards the Jews grows even more. He participates as a solider during World War I and then afterwards he becomes the crazed leader of the Nazi Party. Now this manga has 4 chapters but if you want a short rundown (or not) about Hitler, this manga might come in handy. I admit it is a interesting piece that but at the same time, it’s a sick to your stomach if you know the schemes of an actual dictator.
