Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was one of Adolf Hitler's main influences in the 1920s?

Answer: Alfred Rosenberg

Alfred Rosenberg was intellectually influential member of the Nazi party, particularly in its foreign policy.

2. To which two people did Hitler dictate his infamous "Mein Kampf" book in Landsberg prison in 1924?

Answer: Rudolf Hess and Emile Maurice

During his time in prison, Hitler underwent something of an epiphany with regard to his use of violence: from now on everything was to be ostensibly legal. Having chosen this new move, Hitler felt that he needed to make sure that the public knew what he stood for, so began to dictate a book to Hess and Maurice.

3. When did Hitler first meet his close ally Benito Mussolini?

7. What did Hitler describe as the 'Happiest moment of my life'?

8. Who was Hitler's foreign minister until 1936?
