At nearly 20 years old he got a decent job working as a bellhop in a major hotel. Working at the hotel he ended up serving the room of Adolf Hitler himself. Johann had great respect for this horrible man and wanted badly to become one of Hitler's "Nazis". Sensing his dark inner nature, Hitler decided to Recruit Schmidt. Hitler soon found out Johann was not just an ordinary German man that wanted to be a Nazi, Hitler sensed Schmidt had evil inside of him and could be a great tool to help the Nazis to become more powerful. Johann was not given an ordinary Nazi uniform but a unique uniform along with a grotesque red skull mask. Hitler's plan was to make Johann Schmidt a symbol of intimidation for the Nazis.
