Palestinian Authority Glorifies Conquest of Europe By Hitler

In 1923, he attempted to execute a coup but failed. He was arrested, imprisoned and released after serving a year in prison.

In 1933 he became his country’s Chancellor, and used the state's mechanisms to crush his political opponents.

He earned his popularity by succeeding to lower unemployment rates and to generate an economic recovery in his country. Later he prepared his country for the Second World War.
