Question

At what point did hitler become an imminent threat?

Answer 2

when they didn't accept him into the art school he applied at.

Answer 3

When he took over Germany

Answer 4

The moment he crossed the line in the sand along the Polish border in September of '39/, he became an imminent threat to the western allies.  Prior to that, he was 'appeased' by the west as he took over Chechoslovakia, Austria, Sudetland, and Rhineland....all peacefully,  In reality, however, the immediacy of the threat probably was after he violated the Versailles Treaty and began re-arming his military during the mid-thirties.

Answer 5

hitler was once a general in world war 1. he was first known as an imminent threat ever since WWII when he became dictator, and tried attacking american allies. He was known throughout the world as the imminent threat though, more so because of the holocaust and how he killed the jews.

Answer 6

I asked my grandmother a while back when was it people learned how evil Hitler really was. Most people didnt know till the end of the war how bad he was.

but

the threat of Hitler was really first revealed in Czech Republic.

Chamberlin, Britians prime minister met with Hitler and was trying to keep him appeased. To try to avert war, Britian offered hitler the Sudetenland (i think thats how its called). However all most immediately, Hitler invades and captures the rest of the country.

It was at this point that Britian knew there was only one way this would go. WAR

Hitler was never a general. Even in World war 2

he was a corporal (or at most a colonel). He was gassed, stabed, shot, and maybe more in world war 1.

Answer 7

Hitler became an imminent threat to the United States as early as 1936 when he started to invade parts of Europe and threaten to undo the fragile peace. It eventually became magnified afterwards when we entered the war as an ally of England, France and the USSR etc. You could say as early as Hitler gained sole power in Germany after Hindenburg's death , that is ,if we read Mein Kampf and Hitler's view of history and his resolve to rid himself of the Jewish problem.
