A Man Who Indoctrinated A Fascist Regime

On The 30th of January 1933, President Hindenburg appointed Hitler as Chancellor. In the 18 months succeeding this, Hitler became, essentially, a dictator. This essay will look at what a dictatorship is and how it operates, how the population is brought to a point where they accept a dictatorship, and examine and analyze the vital events that took place in Germany which lead to Hitler assuming dictatorial power: the Reichstag fire, the Emergency Decree, the Enabling Act, the banning of trade unions and other political parties, the Night Of The Long Knives, the death of President Hindenburg, and the German army’s oath of loyalty to Hitler. It will

To fully answer this question one must look at the underlying philosophies behind Hitler’s leadership. What did he stand for and did his ideologies have any redeeming characteristics? Indisputably he had an ability to lead and motivate. He was revered with almost God – like fanaticisms by his people. This essay will set out to establish the basis of his leadership and within that framework, the nature of the man and his vision for the world.

Hitler was assisted during this time by a group called Nazis. They were his main supporters and they approved of every decision he made. The Nazis made it their goal to help Adolf Hitler as much as they could. “On March 23, the Nazis proposed new legislation known as the Enabling Bill, a sweeping measure empowering the new government to enact laws without the approval of the Reichstag” (Rice, Earle). This new bill would enable Hitler to do anything that he wanted without his decisions being denied or facing consequences for them. “The Enabling Law granted Hitler absolute powers for a period of four years” (Rice, Earle). Hitler took this opportunity and used it to his

As Chancellor of Germany, one of Hitler’s first decisions was to get the Enabling Act passed; this had a huge impact on the people of Germany. “Shortly after the bill became law, Joseph Goebbels wrote that Hitler now had full power to push Germany forward. He made no mention of the Cabinet. In fact, there was no Cabinet input in the sense that a modern Cabinet would expect to function.” (“History Learning Site”). The Enabling Act made Hitler the de facto dictator of Germany. However, Hitler did not to have the intention

Adolf Hitler officially took political action to advance with his plans of world domination with his creation of the Enabling Act. He took all the governmental powers away from the Reichstag and distributed them to himself and his cabinet. By creating the Enabling Act, he had given himself the ability to create doctrines, control the budget and approve treaties. Hitler removed the legal power that the German government possessed and gave it to himself which have him the upper hand in the situation. Adding onto his ignorance, he initially arrested anyone who attempted to defy the bill, proving that he would let no man get in his way. After the bill was passed, Hitler suppressed all other political alliances other than the Nazi Party, to ultimately show that the Nazi’s were the only worthy faction in Germany.

In August of 1934, President Paul von Hindenburg dies and Hitler now becomes dictator of Germany under the title of Fuhrer, or supreme leader. An approximate ninety percent of voters were in favor of Hitler becoming Fuhrer and of course, Hitler is not going to let his new powers go to waste. The very next year the Nazis pass a series of laws. First, their rights of citizenship were taken away. There were laws also made that prohibited the marrying of Jewish Germans with the “Aryan” race. Others laws included, The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor, "The Reich Citizenship Law and The Law for the Protection of the Genetic Health of the German People.

First, Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933 (“Hitler Comes to Power”) The current Chancellor at the time, Von Papen, convinced Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as Chancellor (“Hitler Comes to Power in Germany”). Hitler was ultimately appointed Chancellor because he was favored by many people. Hindenburg finally agreed to appoint Hitler Chancellor because Papen reassured him that other cabinet members would keep him under wraps (“Hitler Comes to Power in Germany”). Once Hitler was elected Chancellor, he started the Nazi revolution immediately. When Hitler was elected Chancellor, he was given the power to call for reelections in the Reichstag. On March 23, 1933 Hitler gained dictatorship over Germany. The enabling act was passed by two thirds because communists were kicked out and social democrats did not attend. The social democrats did not attend because they were threatened. The enabling act gave Hitler dictatorial powers for four years. The Nazis took control of all German organizations. This policy was called coordination. The Nazis controlled the police and mass media. On August 2, 1934 President Hindenburg died and Hitler became Fuhrer. Hitler now controlled the military and began plans for the expansion of Germany (“Hitler Comes to Power in Germany”). Hitler was given power legally and did not have to take any powers by

In 1933, with the world ravaged by global warfare, the people of the war torn and destroyed nations found themselves drawn to the philosophies espoused by cruel dictators and hopeful leaders – most notably the leaders of the German Nazi Party, Adolf Hitler. After years of the poverty and oppression caused by the treaty of Versailles, there came a leader who was a “Savior” to the German people, But he became one of the most infamous and evil dictators in history. As WWI ended, and times got tough, the Germans were desperate for someone to give them hope, Hitler saw this as an opportunity and manipulated people with his oratory skills and false promises – giving them a hope, all it be false.

Adolf Hitler was fundamental to the Nazi State between 1933 to 1939. From his consolidation of power to the start of World War II, Hitler played a crucial role in nearly every aspect of Nazi Germany: its politics and internal administration, culture, military, and international relations. However, Hitler’s involvement in the German economy was limited and he neglected overseeing the daily governance of the state. Nonetheless, as the absolute dictator of Germany, his programs and policies set a determined course for the Nazi State. Essentially, the will of Hitler became the driving force and the sole embodiment of the Third Reich, as encapsulated by Bullock, ‘No other man played a role in the . . . history of the Third Reich remotely

A man of power, a leader of chaos, a warlord of destruction, Adolf Hitler is one of the most famous dictators in history. He started off as a young boy in the art profession, but once he joined the military, he could not stop striving for power. Adolf started with a nation in distress and disorder, and he was on a mission to change this, but change it to his liking. Hitler’s strategy for restoring Germany to its former glory was through destruction and insanity, but he had all the power in the world. Adolf Hitler had a thirst for power that did not stop with becoming the leader of Germany, but was satisfied by attacking countries and killing innocent people.

President Paul von Hindenburg of Germany appointed Hitler as chancellor in 1933 for fear of a communist party taking control of Germany. Immediately he put policies in place that assured his dictatorship and create a one-party government. In like manner, “he began immediately, ordering a rapid expansion of the state police… dedicated to stamping out whatever opposition to his party might arise” (History.com). Hitler used scare tactics and warmongering in order to maintain his political power. He gained supporters in the lower middle class youth by blaming Germany’s loss in World War One on the Jewish

Adolf Hitler is possibly the most infamous name in history. Undoubtedly the first thing that appears in one’s head at the sound of this horrible name is a swastika, or his mustache. That extremely fashionable way to style one’s facial hair was so easily ruined by one man alone: Hitler. He was a truly evil man. The clearest villain in modern history. How did someone as evil as Hitler rise to power? Surely someone would have stopped him before he rose all the way to emperor of Germany. We will study how and why Hitler became emperor so quickly and how his party gained enough influence to support Hitler in that position in this essay.

Adolf Hitler was not elected to power in Germany by an overwhelming upsurge of popular demand. The Nazi Party certainly achieved substantial support, winning 37 percent of the total vote in the 1932 election.This made it the largest party in the Reichstag, but it was Franz von Papen and other conservatives who persuaded the German president, Field Marshal von Hindenburg, to appoint Hitler as chancellor in a coalition government.He was the most powerful political leader in the country, but was a demagogue with no experience of government and they believed they would be able to bring him under control, while an alliance with the Nazis would bring them the support they needed in the Reichstag.It was a disastrous misjudgement. Von Papen became vice-chancellor, but Hitler used his position adroitly to achieve a dictatorship, partly by building on reports of a supposed Communist conspiracy against the state. In March the Reichstag conferred dictatorial powers on him for four years. In June of the following year, in what he called ‘the night of the long knives’, Hitler eliminated about a hundred rivals. Hindenburg died in August 1934 and Hitler was proclaimed Führer of the German Reich, head of state and commander of the armed forces, giving him dictatorial power over the country. The consequences are only too well known.

Adolf Hitler, one of the most hated men in history of the world, deemed Wilson examines the “Demon King of history” (pg. 185) in a new light in “Hitler”. A. N. Wilson, a prestigious, award winning biographer, took on this task, giving a short biography on Hitler, rather than the typical portion of history taking place during World War II that most people are familiar with, he analyzes Hitler’s entire life. The major points that Wilson discusses in his book, which are very controversial in the world we live in today, are Hitler’s idea of anti-Semitism and the concept that although Hitler was an ordinary individual he had extraordinary abilities, which allowed for his great successes. The final concept that Wilson brings to the book is Hitler’s idea of Darwinism in society.

Hitler gained even more power when he was named chancellor by President Paul von Hindenburg. Hitler used propaganda as a strong tool, and right at the center of his campaigning were anti-Semitic messages and a hatred for communism. In 1933, there was a mysterious fire at the Reichstag building, which allowed Hitler to instate the Enabling Act. This act allowed him to create laws without the
