Biography: 

Hitler was the infamous leader of Nazi Germany from 1933 until his death in 1945 at the end of World War II. By 1940 he had invaded Poland, which marked the formal beginning of that war. Ike's reference to him as "one Austrian paper-hanger" (322) repeats a term of contempt that was popular in America at the time; Hitler was born in Austria-Hungary, but there's no evidence that he was ever a "paper-hanger."
