The affection for dogs began during World War I, where Hitler fought as a soldier. At that time he adopted a stray dog named Fuchsl (translated as “little fox”), which he rescued from the Ypres battlefield. Adolf Hitler, who had few friends, devoted much of his free time to his pet. He offered him moments of peace amid the suffering of war. He was severely beaten when Fuchsl disappeared at the train station and accused his companions of stealing his dog.
During the years of post-war poverty, she had a new canine companion, a German shepherd named Prinz, whom she adopted in 1921. But to her chagrin, the man could not keep her. and I had to find a new owner. Surprisingly, Prinz survived this new life and managed to find his former master again. This loyalty left a deep mark on Hitler’s soul and ensured his sympathy for this breed of dog ever since.
