Naturalization of Adolf Hitler
The naturalization of Adolf Hitler took seven years, from 1925 to February 1932,[1] when Hitler finally became a German citizen and was able to run for political office.[2][3][4][5][6]
History[edit]
Background[edit]
Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn in 1889, an Austrian citizen. Hitler served in the Imperial German army on the Western Front. In 1919 Adolf Hitler joined the DAP (later the NSDAP). He gained national notoriety with a failed putsch (armed insurgency) in Munich in November 1923, which led to a trial for high treason and prison for nine months in 1924. The Bavarian authorities attempted several times to deport Hitler afterwards, but Austria refused to take him back.
