| | Becker, Wilhelm Adolf -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
 | | The rise of Adolf Hitler to the position of dictator of Germany is the story of a frenzied ambition that plunged the world into the worst war in history. |
 | | Perhaps the major German Romantic conductor of the 20th century, Wilhelm Furtwängler is remembered primarily for his long association with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, which lasted, except for two brief interludes, from 1922 until his death. |
 | | Becker was educated at Schulpforta and Leipzig, and from 1842 he was professor of classical archaeology at Leipzig. |
