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
think I read somewhere
Doesn't make it true.
True!

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.
