On Adolf celebrating the beginning of the War

>"Hitler [...] fondly looked back on the weekend the war had broken out. For him, it had been the best weekend ever: 'I am not ashamed to acknowledge today that I was carried away by the enthusiasm of the moment [...] and I sank down upon my knees and thanked Heaven out of the fullness of my heart for the favour of having been permitted to live in such a time.'"

__________

On Adolf's regiment

>"The List Regiment [...] did not consists of cheery volunteers like Hitler but of a medley of half-fit men, formed in a last ditch attempts by the German armed forces to scramble together an army big enough to knock out France before the anticipated war with Russia."

__________

On further background of Adolf's regiment

>"As their poor equipment made blatantly clear, Weisgerber and Hitler were in a regiment that was, and would continue to be, not very high up the pecking order in the Bavarian army."

On Adolf's List Regiment training for the War

>"Up to early October, Hitler and the men of the regiment underwent a crash course for soldiers in Munich, learning to shoot, set up tents, and how to boil drinking water at the front. However, [...] as yet another sign that RIR 16 was close to the bottom of the food chain of the German armed forces, the List Regiment was trained with outmoded rifles that function differently from the rifles that the regiment was to use once at the front. For most of the men, including almost certainly Hitler, this was the first time they had touched a gun."

__________

On Adolf's reasons for joining the army

>"On a sounder basis, we can state that Hitler put on a soldier's tunic in 1914 because he believed he could help make Germany great, and in 1939 he repeated the act because he believed that he alone could make Germany great."

__________

On Adolf's regiment training before joining the War

>"If anybody had thought that [...] the List Regiment were ready to go into battle when Ludwig III had inspected the regiment, any such hopes were crushed on the Lechfeld. Hitler even whined about how strenuous it had been to get to the Lech Valley: 'As I told you,' Hitler wrote to Anna Popp, the wife of his landlord in Munich, 'we left Munich on Saturday. We were on our feet from 6.30 a.m. until 5 p.m. and during the march we took part in a major [exercise], all in pouring rain. We were quartered in Alling. I was put in the stables and I was wet through. Needless to say I could not sleep a wink.'"

__________

On Adolf arriving in Lille

> 'Lille, and in particular the central station, was a terrible sight,' noted Father Norbert in his diary. 'The entire train station was a shambles. The wounded lay everywhere. 1,200 houses were said to have been destroyed by the bombardment [...]. There were burnt-out gables and smoking piles of rubble everywhere, along with crying and begging women and children, and withdrawn, sullen men.'"

On the task appointed to Adolf's regiment

>"The task of the List Regiment was temporarily to join the 54th [...] Reserve Division and support the German assault on the British positions around the Flemish city of Ypres [...] in an effort to break through to Ypres [...] a successful breakthrough at Ypres would have allowed the Germans to win what was to become known as the Race to the Sea."

__________

On Adolf's first night in the warzone

>"'I couldn't sleep, alas. [...] Just behind us a German howitzer battery fired two shells over our heads into the dark night every 15 minutes. They kept screaming and whistling through the air, followed by two dull thuds in the distance. Everyone of us listened for them. We had never heard anything like it before. And while we lay pressed one against the other whispering and looking up into the starry sky, the distant noise drew closer and closer, and the individual thuds of the guns came faster and faster until finally they merged into one continuous roar. Each one of us could feel his blood pound in his veins."

__________

On Adolf's regiment shooting at a plane

>"On 28 October, the troops were still in exuberant spirits. That day, they also tried to shoot down a plane, not realizing that the plane at which they were aiming was in fact a German one."

On Adolf's curious first battle

>"In the wet and dark night, the men of the List Regiment started to see enemy soldiers everywhere. One night, dark shadows were moving slowly towards them. The men of RIR 16 sensed an imminent enemy attack. Soon, they sent a formidable barrage of fire at the shadows. Yet strangely enough not a single shot was returned. They were soon to find out why. As the sun rose the following morning, the areas ahead of their front was littered with dead bodies - the dead bodies of a herd of cattle that had gone astray during the night."

__________

On Adolf entering the war zone

>"In the early hours of 29 October, 349 men of the List Regiment woke up for the last time in their lives. Awakening to a still dark night, they marched silently for four hours towards the flickering light of burning villages in the combat zone. [...] As dawn approached, the men still could not see. They were surrounded by heavy fog, with a visibility of less than 40 metres. The troops went into battle still wearing their cotton hats and rucksacks. [...] Not only was the vision of the men List Regiment impaired by the heavy fog but the landscape, dotted with hedges, fields, little forests, farm buildings, and the buildings of the village, made it well nigh impossible to see the British. As Weisgerber wrote home, in order to advance they had to squeeze through holes in thick hedges across dead bodies."

__________

On the List Regiment's early enthusiasm

>"as shrapnel was exploding around his comrades, they shouted 'a while "Hurray" [...] in response to this first greeting of Death'. Weisgerber reported: 'It started up again right away, with "Hurrays" across the fields.' Hitler's claim is also supported by a diary entry of Count Bassenheim, who recorded of the first shelling in his diary that 'the troops enjoy themselves and joke about the grenades that come down everywhere around us.'"

On the List Regiment's first attack

>"The men of the regiment recklessly charged forward. As they crossed the British trenches they failed to check whether the trenches had already been cleared, which resulted in British soldiers shooting them from both the front and from behind. [...] A British machine-gun squad based inside the windmill of Gheluvelt had a field day gunning down members of the List Regiment."
__________

On Adolf being attacked by fellow German soldiers

>"The British troops who were trying to thwart the advance of the List Regiment on 29 October received unsolicited help from other German units: many men of the List Regiment were killed by 'friendly fire'. The reason for this was that other German troops had mistaken the men of RIR 16 as British troops because of their grey cotton hats."

__________

On the aftermath of the battle for Gheluvelt

>"Gheluvelt was now under German control, but the German objected to take Ypres was never to materialize. [...] in fact the regiment had been reduced by roughly 75 per cent from approximately 3,000 to 725, and the number of officers from 25 to 4."
_________

On the effect of the fighting on Adolf

>"By the end of the 1st Ypres it was still unclear whether the experience of seeing hundreds of their comrades killed or injured by British servicemen was to lead to a brutilization and politicization of the men of RIR 16. At the height of the Second World War, Hitler, at any rate, would claim that it was this experience that made him start to believe 'that life is a constant horrible struggle'."

On Adolf being made a dispatch runner

>"Eleven days after arriving at the front, on 9 November, Hitler was made a dispatch runner and was assigned to regimental headquarters. [...] The men at the regimental headquarters were rapidly becoming an ersatz family for Private Hitler. He displayed steadfast and often courageous loyalty towards his superiors."

__________

On Adolf reportedly saving his commander's life

>"in an attack that would cost the lives of 22 men, Hitler and his fellow dispatch runner Anton Bachmann saw how the List Regiment's new commander, [...] Philipp Engelhardt, had foolishly stepped out out of his cover on the edge of the forest. [...] Hitler and Bachmann dramatically leapt forward, covering Engelhardt's body and taking him back to safety."

__________

On Adolf's reaction to the Christmas truce of 1914

>"Hitler certainly did not participate in the Christmas Truce. For one, his role win the support staff of regimental HQ would have rendered any participation almost impossible. For another, if we can believe the 1940 testimony of Hitler's fellow dispatch runner Heinrich Lugauer, Hitler had abhorred the Christmas Truce and was enraged by the behaviour of the men of his regiment."

On the conditions in Adolf's trench

>"By early 1915. the war had started to wear down even Private Hitler. In December, he had already written to his Munich landlord Joseph Popp: [...] 'We are still in our old positions and keep annoying the French and the English. The weather is miserable; and we often spend days on end knee-deep in water and, what is more, under heavy fire. We are greatly looking forward to a brief respite. [...] Things can't go on like this forever'."

__________

On Adolf's stubbornness

>"it looked desolate, bleak, and miserable. The knee-deep water in the trenches and the dugouts was hated by everyone but the insects who laid their eggs in it. By March, the regiment had to battle an infestation of flies. In spite of this hardship, Private Hitler remained steadfast in his support of the war: 'But nothing on earth can ever shift us from here,' he wrote to Joseph Popp: 'Here we shall hang on until Hindenburg has softened Russia up. Then comes the day of retribution!'"

__________

On the blurred truth of Adolf's role in the War

>"Private Hitler's assignment as dispatch runner for regimental HQ was very dangerous, as was any assignment in his regiment. [...] Hitler, however, claimed that his job was not just very dangerous but that it was more dangerous than any other assignment in his regiment. [...] The reality of Hitler's war existence was rather difference. Private Hitler had to alternate between three day shifts in the advance post of regimental HQ inside Fromelles Castle and three day shifts at the regular regimental headquarter in Fournes. [...] in places like Fourmes, Private Hitler's domicile seemed like heaven to the soldiers of RIR 16."

On Adolf's commanding officer recalling his service

>"Wilhelm von Luneschlos [...] was to testify in 1922 that Hitler 'was a dispatch runner for the staff of [RIR 16] and had truly proved himself as such. Hitler never failed and was particularly suited to the tasks that one could not give to the other dispatch runners.'"

__________

On Adolf's political rival recalling him favorably

>"it was the testimony Michael Schlehuber, a committed Social Democrat and trade unionist, was to give in support of Hitler in 1932 that is apparently the best piece of evidence that there was no substance in the claim that Hitler's real war service had been significantly different from Hitler's mythical version. Schlehuber was to declare: 'I've known Hitler since our deployment with the Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment 16 and was with him in the Bethlehem-Ferme in mid-November 1914. likewise during combat ordinance. I knew Hitler as a good soldier and an impeccable comrade. I never observer Hitler trying to shirk his duties or holding back from danger. I was within the division from deployment to the return home, and I never heard anything unfavorable about Hitler even later on. [...] Politically, I stand on the other end of the spectrum from Hitler and am giving this opinion only because I think highly of Hitler as a war comrade.'"

On Adolf and his comrades taking leave

>"During the relatively quiet period between New Year and the summer of 1916, at a time when elsewhere Germany waged its futile all-out attack on Verdun in Lorraine, [...] it became routine for Hitler and his immediate comrades to go into Lille every time they received leave. [...] From time to time, Hitler, together with some of the men from regimental headquarters, attended theatre performances put on by the 'Deutsches Theater Lille'. [...] However, on trips to Lille that did not feature visits to the theatre, Hitler and his comrades went their separate ways. As the others drank away their sorrows, Hitler walked the streets of Lille. [...] Occasionally [...] [he] sat down on walls or benches and took out his sketch pad."

__________

On Adolf's opinion of his fellow soldiers

>"As he sketched street scenes in the same style he had drawn postcards in Munich prior to the war, some of Hitler's comrades graduates from local bars to the brothels that had been mushrooming since the beginning of the German occupation, which for a few Marks, the men of Hitler's regiment could buy sex. [...] Hitler, meanwhile, was dismissive of soldiers who were sleeping with prostitutes or local women, as were many of the married Catholic soldiers from the Bavarian countryside."

On Adolf's first encounter with Foxl the dog

>"It was in January 1915 that I got hold of Foxl. He was engaged in pursuing a rat that had jumped into our trench. He fought against me, and tried to bite me, but I didn't let go. I led him back with me to the rear. He constantly tried to escape.

__________

On Adolf's relationship with Foxl

>"The deepest emotional feeling Hitler felt for any other being during the war was for a British deserter - a dog, which had belonged to a British unit and which he christened Foxl, or 'little Fox'. Teaching the white terrier tricks, Private Hitler enjoyed the extent to which Foxl obeyed him."

__________

On Adolf and Foxl / Fuchsl

>"I used to share everything with him. In the evening he used to lie beside me."

__________

On Foxl / Fuchsl guarding Adolf

>"Nobody could touch me without Foxl's instantly becoming furious. He would follow nobody but me. [...] When I returned after two days' absence, he would refuse to leave me again."

__________

On Adolf losing Foxl

>"it was before we arrived at Colmar. The railway employee who coveted Foxl came again to our carriage and offered me two hundred marks. "You could give me two hundred thousands, and you wouldn't get him!" When I left the train at Harpsheim, I suddenly noticed that the dog had disappeared. The column marched off, and it was impossible for me to stay behind! I was desperate. The swine who stole my dog doesn't realise what he did to me."

On Adolf's meals with Foxl

>"'When I ate he used to sit beside me and follow my gestures with his gaze' Hitler wrote later. 'If by the fifth or sixth mouthful I still hadn't given him anything he used to sit up on his rump and look at me with an air of saying 'And what about me, am I nothing at all?'

_________

On Adolf treating Foxl as a human

>"I can look at him like I look at a human being. It's crazy how fond I am of the little beast."

__________

On fellow dispatch runner Brandmayer describing Adolf's bravery

>"Stones and iron fragments whizzed above our heads. We bent low, racing across open country. I could scarcely lift myself from the ground any more [and] still Hitler urged me onwards, onwards! I cannot understand how Hitler could look around, with no cover .[...] while calling to me: ‘Brandmoari, get up!’ He seemed without nerves. . . Sweat dug deep rivulets into our faces. More falling than running we reached the command dugout. Paralyzing tiredness weighed like lead on my burning limbs. I threw off my helmet and webbing and sunk dead tired onto my bunk. I expected Adolf to do the same, but how wrong I was! As I turned round, I saw him sitting near the exit, helmet on head, buckled up and waiting for the next order. ‘You’re crazy!’ I cried out angrily. ‘How would you know’, was his prompt reply. There was no man under his uniform, only a skeleton [...] He had an iron nature"

On Adolf's love of cleanliness

>"Although his uniform hung around his frame, both uniform and frame were as clean as he could make them; his obsession with hygiene was a byword. Those who failed to match his standards were treated with contempt. He christened one soldier the ‘human dunghill’"

__________

On Adolf as a private individual

>"A man who needed an audience as much as companionship, he jealously guarded privacy and personal space. Those who came reasonably close were less than entranced with his holier-than-thou prudery and judgemental attitude. As late as 1918, he was still treated as a virgin and his guarded responses to teasing suggest he was; his attitude to women earned him the nickname ‘women hater’."

__________

On a fellow dispatch runner asking Adolf about women

>"Hitler was a letter from my girlfriend and asked in a good-humored tone: "Brandmoari, has Trutschnelda written again?" "Good guess", I retorted. "Have you never wanted a girl?" I asked. "Look Brandmoari, I've never found time for such a thing," Hitler replied. "And I don't want to," he continued. "You're a strange one, Adi! I'll never understand you," I replied. "There's no hope for you". "How would it be if I found a mam'selle for you," someone asked. "I'd kill myself from shame rather than make love to a French woman", Hitler leapt excitedly into the discussion. The effect of the moment was raucuous laughter. "Listen to the monk!" cried one. Hitler's face became furious."

On Adolf's relationship with his comrades

>"Even those closest to him would later describe him as reclusive [...] They also saw him as a bookworm who was not always very practical. As Alois Schnelldorfer later remembered, they joked that Hitler would starve to death in a canned food factory, as unlike them, he did not succeed in opening a can of food with a bayonet."

__________

On Adolf's reading habits during the War

>"Heinrich Lugauer, another dispatch runner, recalled [...] 'Every free minute he used to read. Even in the forward position he sat in a corner, his cartridge pouch attached and his rifle in arm, and read. He borrowed some book from me once; it was Nietzsche, as far as I can remember. [...] Hans Bauer [...] described Private Hitler as a 'lonely man' who spent his spare time reading, while maintaining that his 'relationship with Hitler as a comrade [was] the same as with all of his comrades'.""

On another officer's memory of Adolf

>"Max Amann described Hitler during the First World War: 'He was obedient, zealous, and modest ... He was always devoted, always loyal ... He was already ready for duty.' Amann recalled that when during the war he had entered the room of the regimental dispatch runners in the middle of the night 'and cried: "Dispatch", no one moved; only Hitler leapt to action. When I said: "It's always you", he replied: "Let the others sleep, it is no problem for me.""

On Adolf's poverty and isolation

>"that favorite pastime of First World War soldiers, letter-writing, was an activity Hitler indulged in little. Other than the family of his landlord in Munich and one other acquaintance with whom he was not even on first-name terms, he had nobody to write to. As Max Amann would tell his US interrogators in 1947: "He was the poorest soldier. He had no one who would send him a care package.""

On Adolf not getting promoted

>"In fact, no record exists of Hitler ever even trying to get promotion. His lack of social skills and eccentricity might also have explained why he never became so much as an NCO. Wilhlem Diess, who for a while was the officer in charge of Hitler during the war, told a student of his in post-Second World War Munich [...] that the reason why Hitler was never promoted was that he had been too quarrelsome and self-opinionated, always thinking that he was right. Furthermore, the reality, ironic though it is, was that Private Hitler did not display any leadership qualities during the war. Another one of Hitler's superiors, at any rate, could not detect in him any 'leadership traits' nor any talent for leading other soldiers."

__________

On Adolf's battle against the Australians

>"The attack, on a front of nearly 4 kilometers, was left to two inexperienced British divisions: the 61st [...] Division and the 5th Australian Division. On the evening of 19 July 2016, after a heavy three-day bombardment, the men [...] who were manning the first line, suddenly saw British troops go over the top and storm towards them. The attack was a total failure. The BEF soldiers ran straight into the machine-gun and infantry fire of the List Regiment and were mown down. [...] What [...] helped the en of Hitler's regiment was that many of the attacking Australians were drunk. [...] The battle came to an end when huge numbers of Australian soldiers surrendered after being trapped and fired upon by friend and foe alike."

On Adolf's deployment to the Somme

>"on 5 October - on the List Regiment's fourth day in the Battle of the Somme, Hitler, together with his fellow dispatch runners Anton Bachmann and Ernst Schmidt, was wounded for the first tie in he war, when a British shell hit the dispatch runners' dugout in the village of Le Barque. [...] a small grenade exploded right outside the entrance to the dugout, firing splinters right into the entrance. A shell splinter hit Hitler in his left upper thigh, while several of his fellow dispatch runners were injured too [...] as the soldiers of RIR 16 gained the impression that they would only be replaced once the casualty rate of their unit exceeded 50 per cent, Hitler was already on a hospital train to Germany."
__________

On Adolf recovering in Berlin

>"After his injury on the Somme, Hitler had been taken to an army hospital a Beelitz, near Berlin, where he remained for a little less than two months. He had not been to Germany since October 1914 and was shocked by what awaited him. [...] 'For the first time I encountered something which up to them was unknown at the front: namely, boasting of one's own cowardice ... loud-mouthed agitators were busy here [in the hospital] heaping ridicule on the good soldier and painting the weak-kneed poltroon in glorious colours.'"

__________

On Adolf returning to the front

>"Unlike Hitler, other men from his regiment on leave in Bavaria had no urge to board a train to the front. Between the end of the Battle of the Somme and the time Hitler returned to the front in early March, nine soldiers overstayed their home leave to such a degree that they were tried by the military tribunal of RD 6."

__________

On German military power compared to their enemies

>"In 1918 the Allies had indeed six times as many motor vehicles available as the Germans. Similarly, German's ninety tanks in 1918 were dwarfed by the thousands of tanks at the disposal of Britain, France, and their Allies."

>"If Hitler had really been a fervent, overt, and active anti-Semite by 1918, it seems odd, to say the least, that a Jewish officer [Gutmann] would go out of his way to propose him for an Iron Cross. [...] The story that would be told by Nazi propaganda was, of course, not that of a Jew nominating Hitler for his Iron Cross. Curiously, Hitler himself was rather silent on the details of how he had earned his Iron Cross."

thanks for the thread op, a lot of good information I haven't seen before

On Adolf experiencing a gas attack

>"Once back on the Western Front on 27 September - the List Regiment had in the meantime been moved back to the Ypres Salient in Flanders to where the regiment had stood in 1914 [...] The day after Hitler's return, a British attack forced the regiment to retreat from its positions close to Comines, where the regiment now had to guard the Lys River. It was close to here that Hitler's war was ended during the night of 13 / 14 October, which saw heavy British artillery fire. That night, Hitler was exposed to poisonous gas in the company of his fellow dispatch runners Heinrich Lugauer and Hans Raab and of signal personnel on a hill behind the front near Werwik, a town on the French-Belgian border just to the east of Comines."

__________

On the effect of the gas and the end of Adolf's war

>"Hitler had been lucky [...] He had been exposed to a non-lethal quantity of gas that would not leave any long-term medical effects but that ensured that he was knocked out for the rest of the war. However, it was not the gas as such that brought an end to Hitler's first war. The quantity of gas to which Hitler was exposed was, in fact, so small that it would not even have necessitated an extended stay in an army hospital. Hitler's blindness was not physical but psychosomatic. As RIR 16 collapsed under British attacks, Hitler was safely on a hospital train en route to Pasewalk, 100 kilometers to the north-east of Berlin [...] where he was to be treated for 'war hysteria' in the hospital's psychiatric department, not the ophthalmology ward. According to a US intelligence report based on an interview with one of the doctors [...] Hitler was diagnosed as a psychopath with symptoms of hysteria."

OP here. This is my final post. I hope the thread was interesting.

__________

On a summary of Adolf's military service

>"Hitler's war service as regimental dispatch runner for regimental HQ had set him apart from the rest of the regiment. What also set him apart was his unusually long service in the war. He had served on the front for approximately forty-two of the just over fifty-one months that the war lasted, which was well above the average of other soldiers from the List Regiments."

__________

On Adolf's private thinking and studying

>"according to Jack Weis, Hitler either constantly talked about history or paced up and down a patch of grass in Fournes, thinking and studying. Ignaz Westenkirchner, one of Hitler's fellow dispatch runners [...] recalled that he 'was always the one to buck us up when we got down-hearted: he kept us going when things were at their worst ... He was one of the best comrades we ever had.'"

__________

On Adolf sharing his ambitions with fellow soldiers

>"in Mein Kampf [...] He also claims to have conversed with his brothers-in-arms in regimental HQ about the need to set up a new nationalist classless party [...] Ignaz Westenkirchner and Ernst Schmidt would also later claim that Hitler talked about either becoming an artist or a politician [...] Equally, Jack Weis would tell Fritz Wiedemann, once Hitler had come to power: 'Well, he did occasionally give us political lectures. We had thought that maybe he could one day become a deputy of the Bavarian Parliament, but Reich Chancellor - never!"

He was good at inspiring troops but lacked tactical whit. That's why Germany got curb stomped, he wouldn't listen to his generals and scientists.
