Adolf Hitler was born on April 20th 1889 in Braunau-am-Inn, Austria. The town is near to the Austro-German border, and his father, Alois, worked as a customs officer on the border crossing. His mother, Klara, had previously given birth to two other children by Alois, (Gustav and Ida) but they both died in their infancy. Adolf attended school from the age of six and the family lived in various villages around the town of Linz, east of Braunau. By this time Adolf had a younger brother, Edmund, but he only lived until the age of six. In 1896, Klara gave birth to Adolf 's sister, Paula, who survived to outlive him.

    Junkers+Ju88+A+14+Bomber

    Germanys most versatile warplane of WWII, and a rival to the British de Havilland Mosquito in this respect, was the magnificent Junkers Ju88 twin-engined machine. This is a Ju88 A-14 bomber, used in the Mediterranean theatre during 1942.
