What was Hitler's nickname?

Answer 1

His title from 1934 was the Fuhrer.

He used the name "Herr Wolf" when traveling in secrecy in his early days.

He was also called nicknames like "Ade," "Adi," and "Ahi."

Behind his back he was referred to as "the Manitou" which is an American Indian term for a kind of haunting spirit, often malevolent.

Other titles he was known for were "Chancellor of Germany" (appointed by President Hindenburg), "Grosster Feldherr aller Zeiten" or contracted to "Grofraz" which meant "Greatest General of All Time" (Chief of Staff, Field Marshal Keitel), and "Oberster Gerichsher" or "Supreme Judge" and his word literally became the law.

Answer 2

He had a few nicknames. His preferred nickname, used by close friends, was "Wolf". "Adolf" actually derived from old German words meaning "noble wolf", and Hitler liked being associated with the animal.

Some people called him "Adi". But my understanding is that he didn't really like it, so not many people called him that, especially after he took control of Germany.

A funny story that has been circulating is that apparently he one time he got so angry at his generals that he screamed and yelled, and eventually fell on the floor. Once down there, he was so enraged that he actually started chewing on the carpet! So the military officers who witnessed this jokingly called him Teppichfresser behind his back- "Teppichfresser" translates roughly to "carpet muncher".
