Hitler's father was quite cosmopolitan. He had a nationalist history teacher and a rough time after he was rejected from art school. Take that with a huge grain of salt since this is how he depicts it in his autobiography. I think the major part of his radicalization was in prison while he wrote Mein Kampf but that's just my opinion.

I think I read somewhere that he was supposed to infiltrate the Nazis and report on them. Instead he got radicalized.

Whoops

True!

So here’s a source. Wikipedia

He was an intelligence agent assigned to infiltrate the German workers party, precursor to the nazi party. It’s the first bit in the “entry into politics section”.

Jesus Christ. I had no idea that he was a turned Intel agent too.

Germany wasn't great at spying... In world war 2 the British basically kept German agents as pets.
