How did a handful of events turn the unremarkable son of an Austrian civil servant into the 20th century's most evil dictator? This film unpicks the most momentous days of Hitler's early life, each of which had a profound influence on his mental makeup. It begins with a look at the period when his ambitions to be an artist were crushed after he was rejected from an art academy. This set in motion a chain of events that led to further personal tragedies and triumphs as he became swept up in world events that seemed to be completely out of his control. The film gets under Hitler's skin to expose the seven most influential days of his life. It reveals how these seven days created the perfect personal storm that would create the Führer, the man who would lead the world into the most devastating war in history.
This film was first broadcast: 18 Nov 2013

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Learn from the Mistakes and Victories of Human History.
You don't have to wait for history to repeat itself. Learning from human history's mistakes doesn't take long. Be sure to not repeat the mistakes!
The key is to recognize what worked well in the past and apply those lessons to your business.
This can be done by reading books about leadership and management strategies, as well as case studies from successful companies that have existed for decades.
By doing this, you can draw inspiration and avoid the same pitfalls they did.
You can also look at examples of businesses which have been bankrupt. Why did they fail. Is there a common theme among these failures. These insights will help you avoid costly mistakes.
Finally, read about notable historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and John D. Rockefeller. While they may have had the best resumes in the history of the world, few knew how to manage people and run a business. So if you want to learn from their experiences, you need to find out why they made so many mistakes.
It is possible to learn from both the successes and failures of human history. Just spend a few minutes each day thinking about what worked in the past and how you can apply it today.
What is the most valuable thing that you have learned in history?
This question is not easy to answer. There are three things to keep in mind when learning. We must first realize that knowledge is power. Second, it is important to recognize that knowledge is cumulative. Third, we must appreciate how quickly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power. It allows us to make better decisions, and improve our lives. Perfect information would make it easy to make informed decisions. We would do exactly what we wanted, regardless of whether it was right and wrong.
Knowledge is power, but it can also be cumulative. This means that after we've acquired knowledge, we continue to learn more. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now turn our attention to the third. Knowledge is not static. Knowledge is ever-changing. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
Our culture is particularly dependent upon technology which allows us to access knowledge instantly. Technology allows you to store massive amounts of data in digital format and share them with millions of people all over the world.
In addition to technology, globalization has changed the way we view knowledge. Globalization refers the process whereby ideas and products are spread across borders. Because of globalization, knowledge is now accessible everywhere.
The internet enables anyone to access information anywhere in the world. Everybody can read books and watch movies. They can also listen to music, play games, or surf the internet. All these activities require knowledge.
Knowledge is becoming more accessible but also more specialized. There are hundreds of thousands upon thousands of websites today offering advice on topics like health, finance and business, as well as sports, travel, and cooking. These sites provide information on virtually every topic imaginable.
If you want to buy a car online, however, you will likely only find a few dozen websites that provide automotive-related services. There are many sites that cover every topic, but you will only find a few websites that focus on cars.
Experts in specific fields are able to create and share valuable knowledge. Experts often have an in-depth knowledge of a subject. They're also able to produce high-quality content that's targeted toward their specific audience.
This specialization is good news for consumers because they don't need to search through tons of useless information. Instead, they can concentrate on a few sites that have lots of useful content.
Experts also benefit from specialization because they can build strong businesses around their expertise. The buyer of a book expects the author will be knowledgeable enough to explain the subject clearly and concisely. He expects the author to understand his message.
An expert who isn't a specialist risks losing customers who are expecting him to be one.
You don't have to specialize in one area. Most people are experts in multiple areas today. It could be that we are an accountant, a lawyer or a doctor. Or a teacher. Not only are we likely to be a parent or spouse, but also friends, family, and fans.
Specialization is so common that some experts argue that it's impossible to succeed without being an expert in several different things.
So how can you become an expert across multiple fields? The answer is easy: practice. You've got to put in the hours necessary to learn something. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
Nowadays, there are entire industries devoted to helping others achieve this goal. You can learn how to quickly acquire knowledge through workshops, seminars, conferences and schools.
Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?
Because we keep repeating the same mistakes, history repeats itself. We don't learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We get complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. We cannot change them.
This keeps us from being able to think critically. From challenging authority. By challenging assumptions. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. We stagnate if we don’t move forward. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
However, history does not repeat itself because we keep making the same mistakes. History repeats itself when we refuse to learn from past mistakes and instead keep repeating them.
It is possible to break the cycle of history repetition. You can change the way you see the world, and your perspective by realizing that nothing is fixed in stone. Nothing is fixed. Everything is subject to constant flux.
Uncertainty is key to breaking the cycle. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept that you may never achieve your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
If you hold fast to certainty, you'll always be stuck in the past. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.
You can't control your destiny. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.
What do our mistakes teach us?
When you make a mistake, don't worry about it too much because it's a learning experience. This means that you will learn something. But more importantly, when you make a mistake, you can change it. You shouldn't stress about the small details. We all make them.
Although you might feel embarrassed by a mistake you made, it doesn’t matter how bad you feel. It is how you deal and learn from your mistakes that matters the most. If you allow them to get in the way of your growth, they will eventually eat away at your inner self. But if you view them as opportunities for growth, you'll come out stronger on the other side.
It is important to recognize and learn from your mistakes. You don't need to dwell on it. Instead, you should focus on the next step. Keep moving forward.
You don't need to dwell on your errors. Instead, find ways to improve. Learn from your failures and make improvements for tomorrow.
Successful Inventions made by accident
Inventors are human. But, how we handle those mistakes will determine if our inventions become great successes and failures.
When it comes to invention, there are no accidents. Every invention was planned. An accidental invention is not possible.
An invention is a deliberate act. A deliberate decision to create something new. It solves a problem. You can make someone's life easier.
Understanding that mistakes are not inevitable is the key to invention success. Instead of trying to avoid making mistakes, learn from them.
While we wish to claim that invention can be easy, it isn’t. Invention takes persistence and hard work. It's not a quick fix. It takes patience.
It means you have to spend a lot more time thinking about and trying out different ideas. What is the most important thing for people? What are they looking for?
These are the questions you need to ask. These questions will help determine what product or service you should create next.
This requires you to let go of any preconceived notions. Preconceived notions about what the world needs or wants are not valid. Listen carefully to potential and actual customers.
You have to learn what they want. Not what they tell you they want.
Once you know what your customers want, it is time to create a way for them to get it. This is where invention begins.

How To
Accidental Discovery of Penicillin: Successive Inventions
How did penicillin develop?
Alexander Fleming, who had some bacteria cultures left behind, noticed that penicillin was growing on them. He believed that the mold could kill the bacteria so he searched for something to destroy it.
Penicillin was able to kill the mold. Then he discovered that it could also be used to fight bacteria-related infections. Penicillin's discovery was one of most important medical breakthroughs. It saved millions of people's lives and revolutionized medicine.
Alexander Fleming had no idea at first what his discovery would mean. And neither did anyone else. No one knew that penicillin would become such a powerful antibiotic.
Before World War II, scientists didn't know penicillin was effective against bacterial infection. In 1945, the U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming if he could use penicillin to treat soldiers suffering from wounds infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming accepted the offer.
Penicillin is effective against many types of infections, as it turned out. Penicillin was an invaluable lifesaver for wounded soldiers in World War II. It saved many lives, and it was used by doctors to save more.
Dr. Fleming didn't expect his discovery would have such profound consequences. He just wanted to ensure mold didn't grow on the bacteria cultures he used to study. He could not imagine that this simple experiment would lead him to such a miraculous medical breakthrough.
Many of the discoveries that are made each day don't seem like they add up to anything remarkable. These discoveries are nothing more than experiments, done for no particular purpose.
If you look back at history, you will see that even seemingly insignificant experiments can make a huge difference.
It is often the most important discovery that seems to have no commonality. Penicillin was one example. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
Invention does not happen simply because someone thinks up a brilliant idea. Because someone has a problem. They then solve the problem by experimentation.
