- Abstract
The article discusses German Nazi leader Adolph Hitler, focusing particularly on the nine months he spent incarcerated in the jail of Landsberg, Germany in 1924 for his role in the failed revolutionary attempt of the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923. He used the time as a prisoner to read works of German philosophy by authors including Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schiller, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Such works helped shape his own philosophies which he wrote down in his book entitled "My Struggle" or "Mein Kampf."
