Among the German wounded in the Ypres Salient in Belgium on October 14, 1918, is Corporal Adolf Hitler, temporarily blinded by a British gas shell and evacuated to a German military hospital at Pasewalk, in Pomerania.

The young Hitler was drafted for Austrian military service but turned down due to lack of fitness; while living in Munich at the start of the First World War in the summer of 1914, he asked for and received special permission to enlist as a German soldier. As a member of the 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment, Hitler traveled to France in October 1914. He saw heavy action during the First Battle of Ypres, earning the Iron Cross that December for dragging a wounded comrade to safety.

  1. If Hitler had not invaded the Soviet Union, the Bolshevik torture chambers and death
    pits would have spread throughout Western Europe and GB. Ultimately, Communism
    was also stopped at this point though it took a few yrs.for Communism to be eradicated
    Europe could sure use Hitler now. .Knowledge is power in our struggle for racial survival.

    Do you know that Germany captured Stalin's son and offered to exchange him
    for some captured German prisoners and Stalin said to the German's "I don't have
    a son." A cold SOB.
