From the Paper:

"Adolf Hitler was one of the most influential leaders in history. He was leader of the Nazi party and transformed Germany. He officially became the leader of Germany in 1934 when Hindenburg died, but yielded extreme power even before this. Hitler is generally named not as a leader, but as a dictator. Hitler's government was known as the Third Reich and controlled every person's life. Hitler's plan was known as the "Final Solution" and involved the eradication of Jews, Gypsies, Negroes, the handicapped and the mentally ill. In 1939, under Hitler's leadership, Germany invaded Poland to begin the process of unification of all German-speaking people. The war ended in 1945 after the Allies stopped Hitler's plan. By this time, Hitler had caused the extermination of 12 million people. Hitler committed suicide in his bunker in 1945 and one week later, Germany surrendered."
