Ever wonder what Hitler was like as a child? He is the world’s most notorious dictator who changed the face of Europe in the 1940’s. What was somebody like this when they ran around in their knickers going to Sunday school? Well, we managed to dig up a few photos of famous dictators and serial killers from their days of childhood and we want to know if you can guess these bad dudes based on their school pictures.

What Nazi leader did this kid grow up to be?

under Hitler’s orders, this child grew up to establish and control Nazi concentration camps. Additionally, this man was Reichsführer of the Schutzstaffel

Heinrich Himmler

If you guessed Heinrich Himmler you are correct. Many may have not heard of this leading member of the Nazi party who took full control of the police and concentration camps in 1934.

He expanded the camps to hold “racially undesirable people” who were separated from German society. These people were not only Jews, but also homosexuals, criminals, and Romani.

What terrorist had this chilling stare as a child?

he came from a very wealthy Saudi Arabian family and established one of the most famous terrorist organizations in the world.

Osama bin Laden

It may have not been hard to guess this man from his childhood picture. He grew up to found al-Qaeda and orchestrate the attacks on September 11, 2001. Bin Laden spent 10 years on the FBI’s most wanted list and had a bounty on his head as high as $25 million, before he was killed by a team of Navy Seals in 2011.

Who grew up to be the Green River Killer?

According to confirmed murders, he’s the most prolific serial killer in American history. Can you guess how many murders this guy has got racked up under his belt?

Gary Ridgway

If you guessed Gary Ridgeway who is responsible for 49 confirmed deaths throughout the 80s and 90s then you are correct. While he definitely killed at least 49 prostitutes and other vulnerable women, he said he’s killed many more. Estimates projects that it’s nearly twice as many as he confessed to legally.

And speaking of serial killers, do you recognize this one?

This serial killer became famous for leading a cult commune and organizing a famous murder. However, before rising to notoriety, he had a fringe career in the Los Angeles music industry. If only he had made it as a singer/songwriter.

Charles Manson

Charles Manson is one of the most well-known serial killers in history. Perhaps people fear him because of his ability to manipulate others to conduct murders on his behalf. Maybe we fear the Nazi symbol carved into his forehead, or maybe we simply fear what we don’t understand. Manson certainly falls into this category.

Do you recognize this well-known dictator?

He was the leader of the Soviet Union from the 1920’s up until his death in 1953. In that span of time, he was responsible for millions of deaths that researchers have trouble accurately measuring.

Joseph Stalin

Stalin was a famous Soviet dictator who was responsible for anywhere from 3-60 million deaths of his own people. This was due to famine, ethnic deportation, executions, and a number of other tragedies. He will certainly not go down in history as a successful leader.

Maybe this killer is why we all seem to fear clowns…

He was known as the serial killer clown, and he was certainly a terrifying sight to behold. He frequently dressed up as Pogo the clown, but his act wasn’t exactly a joke.

John Wayne Gacy

Yes, Pogo the Clown was John Wayne Gacy. He would regularly perform at fundraising events and parades in addition to voluntarily entertaining hospitalized children. However, he moonlighted as a serial killer who sexually assaulted and murdered at least 33 teenage boys between 1972 and 1978. Now, that’s no laughing matter.

Can you recognize this far-right terrorist?

He carried out attacks in 2011 that killed eight people in the Government quarter Regjeringskvartalet in Oslo (again, good luck with that pronunciation. I’m so glad I’m writing this and I don’t have to read it to you.)

Anders Behring Breivik

This jolly chap is actually the Norwegian terrorist who on that fateful July day in 2011 then turned to kill 69 people after killing the initial eight. He caused a fatal explosion and was declared a terrorist.

You will most likely recognize this notorious Fascist.

Perhaps you can’t tell who it is without the mustache, but he is a notorious dictator whose name will certainly litter the history books for years to come. Before killing millions of people with ethnic cleansing, he was one of the most charismatic and well-respected politicians.

Adolf Hitler

And then…after gaining the people’s trust, he aimed to eliminate Jews from Germany and establish a New Order to counter what he saw as the injustice of the post-World War I international order dominated by Britain and France. He restored Germany to economic property, and then drove them straight back into the ground.

What did this jolly dog-lover do to his victims?

Before treating his victims in a rather inhumane manner, he was known to dissect animals as a child. For example, he once impaled a dog’s head on a stake that he stuck in the ground.

Jeffrey Dahmer

Dahmer was one of the most notorious serial killers in history. He was known to lure them into hotel rooms, drug them, strangle them, and then cut up their bodies. He was also known to perform fellatio on corpses, drill holes in the skulls of his victims while they were alive, and pour acid inside those holes.

What did this Japanese leader encourage citizens to do?

During the height of World War II, things were looking bleak. Rather than becoming captive, this leader encouraged his people to do something dire to themselves.

Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito)

The emperor feared his citizens would defect and prefer US treatment over Japanese. The solution: he encouraged them to commit suicide rather than be subjected to the “evils” of the Americans. With the promise of a place in the afterlife, over 1,000 Japanese civilians committed suicide in 1944. Some jumped from what was known as the “Suicide Cliff.”

This dictator made quite a few headlines in 2003.

This dictator was widely known for using terror against his own people.

Saddam Hussein

What 1970’s killer did this cowboy grow up to be?

Despite being well-known and liked by his peers, this child later said he didn’t understand what made people become friends. He said there was an underlying fabric he couldn’t understand about interpersonal interactions.

Ted Bundy

Bundy killed at least 30 women, though the actual number could be much higher. He was known for luring young college women to a place where he could brutally beat and abuse them sexually. Additionally, he was known to perform sexual acts with the corpses after he killed the women.

Do you recognize this Supreme Commander?

He was the leader of his country, beginning in 1994. He also harbored a fear of flying and only traveled by train to the surrounding countries of China and Russia, before dying of a suspicious heart attack in 2011.

Kim Jong-Il

Kim Jong-il used state terrorism and strong military efforts to keep control. He imposed a cult-like attitude over the state, forcing citizens to respect and revere him as a supreme leader.

Do you recognize this leader of the National Fascist Party?

He had chubby cheeks as a toddler, but quickly outgrew both those cheeks and exchanged them for extremist views.

Benito Mussolini

Mussonlini was a radical who influenced future politicians with his Fascist ways, mot notably was Adolf Hitler. Hitler even expressed great admiration for Mussolini, though the latter thought little of Hitler after he assassinated one of Mussolini’s close allies.

Have you heard of this Russian serial killer?

Don’t be killed by the sad eyes. This child grew up to kill as many as 60 people in the 90’s and 2000’s. Additionally, he’s been quoted saying his aim was to kill 64 people, the number of squares on a chessboard. Perhaps he saw death as a game.

Alexander Pichushkin

Pichushkin targeted primarily elderly homeless men by luring them with the offer of free vodka. After drinking with them, he would kill them with repeated blows to the head with a hammer. In what became his trademark, or signature, he would then push a vodka bottle into the gaping wound in their skulls. If that visual doesn’t plant fear in your heart, nothing will.

Who in this photo was the Boston Strangler?

He was identified by a victim in 1964. He tied his victim to the bed, beat her, assaulted her, and then apologized saying, “I’m sorry,” before he abruptly left. The victim identified him, which led to his arrest.

Albert DeSalvo

DeSalvo would weasel his way into apartments of young women, where he would sexually assault them and strangle them with their own clothes. His eldest victim died of a heart attack, and a few others were wounded with knives. But DeSalvo primarily stuck to strangling as his main method.

Who was this Romanian Communist Politician?

He had a bit of an ego, dubbing himself with the name “Geniul din Carpați” which translates to, “The Genius of the Carpathians.”

Nicolae Ceausescu

Nicolae Ceausescu and his huge ego don’t fall far from the personalities of other notorious leaders. This one was a Romanian head of state who used brutal practices and rule to show control.

Amin was dictator of Uganda from 1971 to 1979.  Amin charmed and promised the world that he would bring peace and democracy to the people of his country.  Instead he turned Uganda into a poverty-stricken land patrolled by death squads.  Amin was possibly the most brutal and merciless dictator of all time.  His rule was characterized by human rights abuses, ethnic persecution, political repression, massacres and the expulsion of 80,000 Asians from Uganda.  Amin pitted his people and executed hundreds of thousands of his people.  Amin was probably the most sadistic dictator in the 20th century.  He would show executions of people on television.  Amin tortured and killed his country’s soldiers, government officials, teachers, artists, doctors, journalists, engineers, politicians, police officers, photographers, lawyers, business people, ordinary citizens, ministers and children.  Amin’s men tortured and killed people with sledge hammers while Amin kept the pictures for fun and amusement.  Amin often had his victims buried alive.  Amin would often give the heads of his enemies to crocodiles.  Hundreds of thousands of dead bodies washed up to the shores of Lake Victoria.  Amin killed 4,000 people by throwing them into crocodile infested rivers.  About 50,000 people died from disease, most were children.  He would cut the flesh of people and force them to eat it until they died.  Amin ate human flesh and he said proudly that he was a cannibal.

He also drank human blood.  Amin mutilated one of his wives and had her limbs sewn upside down.  Amin killed and tortured 300,000 to 500,000 Ugandans.  Amin was forced in exile in Saudi Arabia for the rest of his life.  Amin died almost 25 years later in 2003.  In that time Amin lived a very peaceful life.

Vlad III of Wallachia or "Vlad the Impaler"

Vlad Dracula

Vlad was prince of Wallachia a total of 3 times, in the years 1448, 1456 to 1462, and 1476.  He is best known for inspiring the Dracula ledgend, the cruel methods he used to torture and kill people and how much he enjoyed killing people.  His last name, Dracula, means little devil.

The most common method he used to kill people was impalement.  Vlad had a horse attached to each of the victim’s legs and a sharpened stake was gradually forced into the body.

The end of the stake was usually oiled and care was taken that the stake was not be to sharp.  Normally the stake was inserted into the body through the buttocks and was often forced through the body until it emerged from the mouth.

However, there were many times where victims were impaled through other bodily orifices or through the abdomen or chest.

He was so found of doing this that he is now known as Vlad the Impaler.  The height of the stake ranked the victim.  Vlad also loved to impale animals.  It was possibly of the most gruesome and painful way of dying in history.

Victims would endure this for hours or days.  Everyone in the city Amlas, including every children, went through this, which was up to 20,000 people. Vlad did not want the stake to be too sharp because the victim would die to soon and it would not be as much fun to watch.

He would impale children and babies through their mother’s chests.  Impalement was his favorite way of killing people but it was not his only method.  Vlad ordered people to be poisoned, blinded, strangled, hanged, decapitated, stabbed, disemboweled, skinned, exposed to extreme elements and animals, hacked, dismembered, burned, boiled, scalped, roasted, nailed in the head, buried alive, etc.

He would like to cut off people’s noses, ears, hands, feet, limbs, and sexual organs.  He often cut of peoples private parts (especially in the case of women) and would keep them.  People were sometimes worked to death.  He also smashed the heads of people into hard walls.  He liked to eat and drink around bodies of dead and naked people that had stakes through them.  He destroyed many of his villages on his way into battles.

He roasted children and forced their parents to eat them.  Vlad hated people who were sick, weak, poor, beggars or vagrants.  He invited all of the poor and sick of Wallacha to a fake party.  He asked them if they wished to be be anything other than poor people.  When they all said yes, they were all burned immediately.

He murdered his wife had had her sexual organs cut off.  There were rumors that Vlad loved to drink blood.  Vlad killed over 100,000 people.  If that is true he killed 20 percent of Wallacha’s population.  Nearly all of those people went through horrible ways of killing that would take a long time.  Vlad was decapitated in 1476.
