Adolf Hitler, born on April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary (now Austria), was a German politician and dictator who became the leader of the Nazi Party and later the Chancellor and dictator of Germany. He played a central role in the rise of fascism and the outbreak of World War II.Hitler's political career began in the early 1920s when he joined the Nazi Party. He quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the party's leader and propagating an ideology based on nationalism, anti-Semitism, and Aryan racial superiority. Hitler used propaganda and charismatic speeches to gain popularity and support.In 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany, and he swiftly consolidated power, transforming the country into a totalitarian state. He implemented a series of policies that targeted political opponents, minority groups, and dissidents. These policies led to the persecution, imprisonment, and systematic murder of millions of people, including Jews, Romani people, disabled individuals, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime.Under Hitler's leadership, Germany pursued an aggressive foreign policy, seeking to expand its territory and exert control over other nations. This expansionist ambition led to the annexation of Austria, the occupation of Czechoslovakia, and eventually the invasion of Poland, which triggered the start of World War II in 1939.During the war, Hitler oversaw a series of military campaigns, including the conquest of much of Europe. The Nazi regime implemented a genocidal plan known as the Holocaust, which aimed to exterminate European Jews through systematic murder in concentration camps. It is estimated that approximately six million Jews were killed during this period.As the war turned against Germany, Hitler's leadership became increasingly erratic and his regime faced significant military setbacks. In April 1945, with Allied forces closing in on Berlin, Hitler died by suicide in his bunker.Adolf Hitler's actions and ideology were responsible for immense suffering, destruction, and loss of life during World War II. His legacy remains one of infamy and serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of totalitarianism, racism, and hate. The atrocities committed under his regime continue to be studied and remembered to prevent such horrors from happening again.Measures 27 x 40.

This medallion 5 years before the eventual invasion of 1715 was no doubt a key propaganda message. It is believed that this is the medallion from the contemporary account given by Abel Boyer which states ‘About this time, a medal was dispersed in the Netherland, the Chevalier de St. George’s Friends with the Prince’s head on the right side and the words CUIUS EST; and on the Reverse with Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland with this motto REDDITE. The medal was undoubtedly struck at this juncture, upon the hopes given by the Jacobites in England to their correspondents in France that the British Court and Nation were ready to invite the Pretender………. But whatever ground there was for such expectation, things were not yet ripe enough for the Pretenders Friends to throw off the Mask’
