A Brief Note On Nazis And The Environment

Due to the failure of the Weimar Republic and general public dissatisfaction arising from poor economic conditions exacerbated by the Treaty of Versailles, coupled with the 1929 Wall Street Crash, German citizens were understandably desperate for change. Until this point in time the Nazi party, and Hitler, had been essentially unpopular. However, the economic situation ensured Hitler’s increasing popularity as the people looked toward more extreme but non-communist ideals. The initial consolidation of Nazi power in 1933 arose from key events such as the support of the Nationalist Party with the Nazis to form a coalition government, implementation of the Enabling

Ulrich Herbert’s “Good Times, Bad Times” is about the contrast between the ways typical working Germans perceived the years before and during Hitler’s appointment as Chancellor, his rise to dictator, and during and after and World War II. The article cites a survey conducted by the Institut für Demoskopie (Public Opinion Institute) in 1949, as well as an oral-history project conducted at the universities of Essen and Hagen between 1930-1960. Both studies

In addition to the damaging consequences of the First World War with the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles, certain features of Germany caused the state to be susceptible to the influence of this dangerous ideology. Along with the damage to the national ego as a result of the First World War, Germany had co-existing and conflicting highly modern strands of development forced to integrate with powerful remnants of archaic values and social structures, and had a deeply fractured parliamentary political system, and the weaknesses of this system reflected the social and political differences within the population. This shame and failure after World War I was superimposed onto a modern country which once had an advanced economy, a sophisticated state

1) Germany before the Fuhrer. Germany’s defeat at the end of World War I left the nation socially, politically, and economically shattered. The reparation agreements inflicted upon Germany without its’ consent at the end of the war meant that the nation was in complete financial ruin. In the wake of Germany’s defeat, public decent climaxed on the 9th November 1918 during the revolution that took place on Berlin’s Postdamer Platz. This revolution transpired as a result of the public’s culminating discontent towards the imperial monarchy, and lasted up until August 1919, which saw the establishment of the Weimar Republic. In attempts to guide Germany out of economic

Even though Germany was left in a period of struggle and economic weakness after WW1, Adolf Hitler would take a stand by creating a party that would help refine the structure of the economy. This party, when abbreviated, was called Nazi, would also create harsh laws and unrelentless punishment. Due to the Nazi party’s quick growth, there was an immediate impact on lifestyle and politics for the people of Germany. The long term impact brought forth by the consequences or legacy of the Nazi party included a population decrease and an increase in deaths. To make both of these impacts, Hitler had to overcome many hard challenges.

Peter Fritzche’s book, Germans into Nazis, contends that, “Germans became Nazis because they wanted to become Nazis and because the Nazis spoke so well to their interests and inclinations…however, voters did not back Hitler mainly because they share his hatred of the Jews…but because they departed from established political traditions in that they were identified at once with a distinctly popular form of ethnic nationalism and with the basic social reforms most Germans counted on to ensure national well-being.” (8-9) His argument rests on the notion that the Nazis had a vision for Germany that incorporated Germans into a national community, throwing off the restraints of a tired government, and propelled them towards a future that would

The Nazi policies were extremely successful and had a widespread appeal across Germany. These policies were very appealing to the middle classes, pensioners, nationalists,

The rise and subsequent take-over of power in Germany by Hitler and the Nazi Party in the early 1930s was the culmination and continuation not of Enlightenment thought from the 18th and 19th century but the logical conclusion of unstable and cultural conditions that pre-existed in Germany. Hitler’s Nazi Party’s clear manipulation of the weak state of the Weimar Republic through its continued failure economically and socially, plus its undermining of popular support through the signing the Treaty of Versailles all lead to the creation of a Nazi dictatorship under the cult of personality of Hitler. This clear take-over of power and subsequent destruction of any

book “How Green Were the Nazis.” A connection between environmentalist and Nazi Germany explains the concerns they had for environment during Hitler’s time of total power. These concerns were based off of their idealism and did not reflect others ideas. In 1935 Reich Nature Protection Act was used for forest management and protection. Thus reflected the Nazi ideology of “Dauerwald” Dauerwal is translated directly to perpetual forest meaning efforts to rebuild deforestation. Many forests were completely taken out as results from World War 1. This act was also created to protect and manage forests and efforts to control air-pollution. Environmentalism eventually was pushed aside as other goals seemed to at the time of the war, have a higher

When looking into the history of Germany and determining what led to the startling rise in Nazism in Germany and its detrimental effects on the social outcasts in Europe, it can be easy to deduce that the Nazi regime was one where Hitler walked in with his officials and took office by force. The truth is that, while the Nazi party is responsible for the atrocities that occurred before and during WWII, they would have not gotten far if it hadn’t been for the cooperation of the German people themselves. Life in the Third Reich provides proof through voting, youth programs and village life that the Nazi party rose into power with German support.

This was because of the party’s building of a strong reputation through doing kind and selfless activities for the people of Germany (“Adolf Hitler”). Besides doing widely known charitable acts, the Nazis also grew a strong reputation with the influential people of Germany.

The Nazi party affected many people around the world through both the Holocaust and World War II. Hitler had a plan to exterminate all the Jews, and propelled this idea through the Holocaust putting Jews in concentration camps and killing them. Hitler's evil plan caused one of the world's biggest tragedies, World War II.

After being elected, the first thing Hitler did was to fix the corrupt, debt-creating financial system. Another forgotten fact is how unemployment was slightly washed away from the society. Hitler’s ultimate goal was the establishment of a greater Germany than had ever existed before in history. (Jackel 1984:24). The importance given to women and families were also highly commendable. The measures taken to protect nature and its resources are sights that are not common in daily life today. But these facts are not accepted or included in an ordinary book of history.

“Economic distress contributes to a meteoric rise in the support for the Nazi party... As a result, the Nazi party wins the votes of almost 40 of the electorate in the Reichstag (German parliament) elections of July 1932” (Website #1). This was of an inevitable cause, as timing was of the essence and all economic frailty was what gave in to racial cruelty. “The government ideology and were spread in publicly displayed posters, on the radio, in movies, in classrooms, and in newspapers” (Website #1). Propaganda is what raised the stakes, and gave them the high probability for their rise in both economic and ethical structure, yet as that rise became to falter, they became to fall. The fall of the Nazi Party was inevitable, just like the roman world, yet this racism and hate has yet to be
