Because the treaty forced Germany to assume full blame for the war it also imposed huge reparations covered not only by war but also pensions which later would be calculated to $30 billion ( the equivalent of about $2.7 trillion today)

How did Hitler think about the Treaty of Versailles?

The first reason as to why Hitler did not like the Treaty of Versailles was because he saw it as a disgrace to the German people. In Hitler's view, it was an embarrassment to the country, suffering the consequences of the decisions made by politicians. He blamed the German politicians for the signing of the treaty, believing that Germany could have avoided its current situation. In his biography, Mein Kampf, written by Hitler during his time spent in prison, he called it "the greatest villainy of the century", and he called the German politicians who signed it "miserable and degenerate criminals". The treaty of Versailles was also the reason why German faced a lot of hardships during that time. It was the treaty in the first place that caused hyperinflation and that forced the country into bankruptcy. It took Germanys land, its industry and most of its military, which added to the humiliation. This affected many of the Germany people, making daily life a struggle. But one of the main reasons of Hitler's hatred of the treaty of Versailles was because it meant that many of the efforts of Germany in World War One were wasted. Hitler had previously served in the Bavarian Infantry regiment in the First World War, and narrowly surviving a gas attack. So to him, his time spent fighting, and the injuries he suffered from it were pointless. In his biography he states that, "And so it had all been in vain. In vain all the sacrifices and privations, in vain the hours in which, with mortal fear clutching at our hearts, we nevertheless did our duty; and in vain the death of two millions who died." However, it was because of the Treaty of Versailles that Adolf Hitler came in to power. He took advantage of effects that the Treaty brought to Germany and used the fear of the Public to rise to power. Promising a better Germany compared to the economically wrecked country as the current time. Hitler may be very expressive about his hatred towards it, but without it, he would not have gotten to the position that he did.
