Adolf Hitler's Early Years
Adolf Hitler was born in the small Austrian town of Branau on the 20th of April 1889. He came from a middle-class family that lived comfortably, although he suggested in his book Mein Kampf that his family was poor and his childhood was filled with hardship. His father Alois Hitler was a customs official with the Austrian Civil Service. His mother, Klara was a former servant girl and became Alois' third wife. The young Hitler had ability but performed poorly at school. He reacted against discipline. One of his teachers described Hitler as "wilful, arrogant and bad tempered. He had obvious difficulty in fitting in at school. Moreover he was lazy.... He demanded of his fellow pupils their unqualified subservience, fancying himself in the role of leader."

Hitler had been devoted to his mother and her death affected him deeply. He carried her portrait everywhere he went for the rest of his life.

i dont know if it was intended but this paper is rather a biography than an essay, just because there is no thesis whatsoever. however, it gives a lot of interesting details. but maybe it would have been better if you explained the significance of those details more.
also: the title of the second part is "hitler and WWII". i expected something like an analysis of his war actions (i.e. the reasons for what he did - or at least what he did...) but what do messerschmitts have to do with hitler as a person???
oh, and by the way: you are talking about living space... the german word for that is not "Leibenstrawn" (that word doesnt even exist!!!) but "Lebensraum"... just so that you know the next time
