Wikipedia Trails: Brothers Grim to Adolf Hitler

Well this was a very interesting Wikipedia Trail for this week. I started out with the Brothers Grimm because aside from watching a movie about them and reading a few tiny little things I really had no idea who they were. What spurred my interest was my favorite storybook the Brothers Grimm. So that was my first link and I read through there history until I saw probably there most famous story in my opinion that is just associated with them which is Hansel and Gretel.

In this link I basically knew the story line but I didn't know that the the witch in the original story was a cannibal that wanted to eat the children I though she just wanted to kill them so that was interesting. Looking through this link I found another that was called German Origin.

Once I got to here I read through a lot of there history and stumbled upon Nazi Germany which I knew I would eventually run into if I kept going on this page. So naturally that lead me to Adolf Hitler.

Adolf was my last link and was pretty interesting that the two German story tellers lead me to Adolf Hitler. At least the trail stayed German the whole time.
