This work attempts to study the psychological trauma of “Adolf Hitler” according to his autobiographical manifesto Mein Kampf . Mein Kampf was translated to English language by Ralpf Manheim and published by Mahaveer Publishers. Right from his childhood Hitler was agog about Germany and was inspired by Franco German war of 1870-1871. His zeal to give rebirth to Germany made him a great leader, but his authority transformed him to an autocratic dictator. So he is not only portrayed as the greatest leader of Germany, but broadly also as the greatest terror of Germany. When violence came central to his political life it resulted in Holocaust. This paper aims to study how authority transforms Hitler from a Hero to a Villain, due to his anti-Semitic ideology. In order to prove the transformation of Hitler from a hero to a Villain, the theory of Social psychology has been used. This theory proposes that each and every single person are interlinked with the society comparably. Hitler as an individual was interlinked with the mass society.
