Step-by-step explanation:

• Adolf Hitler was a politician, military man, painter and German writer, of Austro-Hungarian origin; imperial chancellor since 1933 and Führer-leader-of Germany from 1934 until his death. He brought to power the National Socialist German Workers Party or Nazi Party, and led a totalitarian regime during the period known as the Third Reich or Nazi Germany. In addition, he was the one who led Germany during the Second World War, which began with the main purpose of fulfilling his expansionist plans in Europe.

• Joseph Stalin was a Soviet dictator, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union between 1922 and 1952 and president of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union between 1941 and 1953. He was among the revolutionary Bolsheviks who promoted the October Revolution in Russia in 1917 and later held the position of general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 until the position was formally suppressed in 1952, shortly before his death.
