4. What was their role in World War II- Holocaust- Wanted to get rid of the Jews and he wanted the Arian race to be the only race. The concentration camps started in 1939. Biggest mistake for Hitler was invasion of Soviet Union because the Germans lost. April 30th Hitler killed himself. He did this because he didn't want to get captured by the Soviets. So he took a pill and shot himself to make sure he would die.
