Treaty of Versailles Signed

After the Treaty of Versailles was signed,  ending World War I, Corporal Hitler went to work for the Weimar (democratic) government, as a spy. His job was to observe the new political parties starting up in Germany and his orders were to watch and attend the meetings of the German Workers party in Munich.  

In February of 1920, Adolph Hitler gave his first recruitment speech, one which would become familiar. He spoke about anti-Semitism, anti Treaty of Versailles, anti democracy. One week after this meeting, the party changed its name to the National Socialist German Workers Party -- NAZI.

In April of 1920 Hitler resigned from the German Army. He now would devote all his energy to politics and the Nazi party. Hitler did research on German mythology and adopted the Swastika as the symbol of the party because, according to myth, it is the symbol of the beginning of all creation. Hitler was beginning to create his ideal world.  Once out of jail, Hitler started to rebuild his party and was secretly receiving subsidies from the German army in support of the Nazi party.

This picture represents President Woodrow Wilson about to deliver his 14 points as a means to obtain permanent world peace.  Due to his failed campaign for ratification of the peace treaty of Versailles.  This was extremely sad as so many lives were lost due to an unnecessary war, just like we are facing today in Iraq and Afghanistan today for the control for democracy, land and oil.
