Best Answer

Yes. With the outbreak of WWI, Hitler enlisted voluntarily into the Bavarian army, where he swore an oath to the Bavarian King and subsequently to the Austrian Emperor.

Hitler spent the war in 16th Royal Bavarian Infantry Reserve Regiment (6th Royal Bavarian Reserve Division) as a despatcher on the Western Front. The majority of the war was spent several miles behind the front line although he did take part in the Battle of the Somme, where he was wounded (after a hand-grenade accidentally went off in the despatchers' dugout), as well as the third Battle of Paschendaele. Towards the end of the war Hitler took part in the German Spring Offensive and briefly blinded as a result of a British gas attack. As a result he was recommended for the Iron Cross 1st Class by his regiment's adjutant, Hugo Gutmann, a Jew.
