    Why did Hitler hate the Jews?

    Holocaust happened because Hitler and the Nazis were racist. They believed the German people were a 'master race', who were superior to others. They even created a league table of 'races' with the Aryans at the top and with Jews, Gypsies and black people at the bottom. These 'inferior' people were seen as a threat to the purity and strength of the German nation. When the Nazis came to power they persecuted these people, took away their human rights and eventually decided that they should be exterminated.

    How did Adolf Hitler die?

    With Germany lying in ruins after six devastating years of war, and with defeat imminent, Hitler decided to take his own life. Early on the morning on April 29, 1945, in a civil ceremony in his bunker, Hitler married his mistress of many years, Eva Braun. The next day at a little after 3:30 p.m., they bit into thin glass vials of cyanide. As he did so, Hitler also shot himself in the head with a 7.65 mm Walther pistol. The handful of remaining Nazi faithfuls trooped uneasily into his underground study, surveyed his still-warm remains-slouched on a couch, with blood trickling from the sagging lower jaw, and a gunshot wound in the right temple-and sniffed the bitter-almonds smell hanging in the air. Wrapped in a gray army blanket, he was carried up to the shell-blasted Chancellery garden. Gasoline was slopped over him in a reeking crater and ignited while his staff hurriedly saluted and backed down into the shelter.

    Hitler shot himself in his Berlin bunker because he knew he'd lost the war. The Russians were only hours away from capturing him and he knew if that happened, his life would'nt be worth living.

    ODESSA (German: Organisation der ehemaligen SS-Angehörigen, "Organization of Former SS-Members") was/is an international Nazi network set up towards the end of World War II by a group of SS officers, among whom were Martin Bormann and Heinrich Himmler. This group's purpose was to establish and facilitate secret escape routes, called ratlines, out of Germany to South America and the Middle East for hunted members. With alleged ties to Argentina, Egypt, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and the Vatican, ODESSA ostensibly operated out of Buenos Aires and helped Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele, Erich Priebke, Aribert Heim and many other war criminals find refuge in Latin America and the Middle East.

    SS-Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny and Sturmbannführer Alfred Naujocks were both believed to have been active in this organization, but these suppositions have never been proven. Similarly, General Reinhard Gehlen's entire intelligence organisation that was employed and protected by US intelligence within a few months of the end of the war (and which subsequently became an important part of NATO intelligence in eastern Europe as well as of Gladio, NATO's secret "stay-behind" paramilitary organizations), came under suspicion. In Argentina, Rodolfo Freude was allegedly a member of the network.

    ODESSA claimed responsibility in a note for the 9 July 1979 car bombing in France aimed at anti-Nazi activists Serge and Beate Klarsfeld

    Hitler did not only hate the Jews. He thought that anyone who did not believe in the same things as the Nazis (i.e. believed in equality) were inferior. At the Evian Conference, very few countries could take in Jews. By all the other countries saying they didn't want the Jews, it was like granting Hitler and the Nazis permission to do whatever they wanted to do with the Jews.

    By 1944 it was clear that the fortunes of war had turned against Nazi Germany. Many Germans began to anticipate defeat and to plan for that eventuality. On August 10, 1944, a secret meeting of top German industrialists and bankers was held at the Maison Rouge hotel in Strasbourg to devise a means of insuring a secure future for Nazis. The outcome of the meeting in Strasbourg was the genesis of an organization; one well-financed and well-organised, with the express purpose of helping fleeing Nazis escape justice. This organization was called the "Organization Der Ehemaligen SS-Angehörigen" ( "The Organization of former SS members) — better known as Odessa.

    Some people think Hitler killed himself, some beleive he died in the Reich Bunker.

    I don’t think Hitler hated the Jews. He just took advantage of the general antisemitism. As mentioned above, the Jewish have been hated for thousands of years. Why? It’s a vicious circle. They are supposed to be the responsible for Jesus’s death, therefore later they were forbidden to own lands. As a result, they became merchants which is quite a good business. Many become rich and people got even more jealous. Together with the religious prejudices they were really hated and consiedered always scapegoats for catastrophes, epidemics… etc. Marking them with a sign on the clothes was common as soon as the Medieval Ages, and most of the countries limited their rights radically. So, what Hitler did was just updating the traditions.

    Hitler committed suicide on 30th April 1945 because he lost the war.

    The ODESSA is the international successor organisation of the Nazi party.

    Hitler doesn't hated Jews.

    Jews had not only persecution during the WWII, but several persecutions since they went from south east Middlewest to West middlewest.

    Hitler killed not only jews, but also Polish, Russians, Gipsy, Gays, Dark skin people. There were many reasons about he did it and it mix with WWII history. Infact, he started persecuting Jews, because Germany was deeply in terrible financial situation and many of those banks were in Jews hands; He took the power and also the money's rulers - to try to take Germany out of terrible misery and agony of their Children.

    I'm not justifing, only relating history facts.

    Hitler kill himself (or was killed) because he fail within his mission. There were no life without a vision and he killed. Probably is the strongest propability.

    Odessa organization never existed, but for sure, there are a lot of organizations behind this history. Our world is full of "secret societies". Odessa is result from a Forsyth's Book.

    Hitler hated the Jews for a variety of reasons... not the least of which was the fact that his sick mother died while under the care of a Jewish doctor. Odessa is a city in Russia, I think. Or in the Ukraine now... The name rings a bell... something about ex-nazis trying to re-awaken the reich post WWII but I think it was just a movie..."The Odessa File" or something like that but I think it was fictional.

    i don't think anyone really knows for sure why Hitler hated the jew's so much, but he blamed them for everything that was wrong with the world.

    Hitler killed himself because, the allies were closing in on Berlin, and he knew he was going to be caught, and didn't want to face the consequences. He shot himself on 30th April 1945.

    His brand new wife eva Braun, then took cyanide and died.

    Hitlers Soldiers apparently burned the bodies beyond recognition. He done it in his secret bunker under Berlin.

    Hitler despised the Jews as he saw them as an inferior race. when Hitler entered politics, germany was in a huge economic crisis and the jews were used as a scape-goat. the jewish population were fairly affluent in comparison to alot of 'natural' germans and held positions of power. they were often employed in law firms etc (due to being excluded from other proffesions!!) and the nazi party clearly saw this as a huge threat. hitler's suicide isn't as simplisitc as cowardice.... he truly believed that the aryan race was superior, he didn't just persecte the jews, but other groups of people such as catholics, homosexuals, free thinkers, non jewish poles, the intelligensia... the list is endless.he was a megaolmaniac who truly thought he had the right to decide who was worthy of life. when berlin fell, it's not that he was scared of reprisals - he was to sure that what he was doing was right, he was terrified of the cnsequences of living without power surrounded by the peoples he hated the most.

    hitler committed suicide in a bunker in central berlin on april 30th 1945, just as the russian army entered berlin. all he had fought for was lost. this ended the nazi party. try reading The Nazis, a warning from history By lawrence rees.

    The Jews have been the most hated people for the last

    five thousand years. This is of satan because he knows

    that messiah will come thru the tribe of Judah. Hitler

    killed himself because he was a coward at the fall of

    Berlin. and yes, there's a movie but I forgot the title.
