Adolf Hitler And The Nazi Party

Many people may question, if Germany was a Democratic country, how did Adolf Hitler, a tyrant who orchestrated the largest genocide in human history, rise to power? After World War I in 1918, Germany had lost the war and its imperial government began to downfall. Germany had to undertake full responsibility for the war and pay reparations debilitating its already weakened economy. By many Nationalist and veterans, the forfeiture of the war was seen as a humiliation and degradation as they believed the war could have been won if it wasn’t for protestors and politicians. Hitler, being a German soldier, became obsessed with these views. His narrow-mindedness and misapprehensions, along with many other anti- Semites, led him to pin the fault on Jews. These conspiracy theories were born out of distress, resentment, and racism, not realities (2).

Throughout Nazi Germany in the period 1928 through to 1941, racism was utilized by Hitler, and in turn his Nazi party, firstly to secure Hitler’s position as a dictator, and secondly to unite the German people against a common enemy, which would lead to a united powerful state, ready and able to exert its national will. Whether or not his aims were oppressive in nature is debatable but, his aims for racial purification and domination over Eastern Europe are made obvious before Hitler’s assumption of power, primarily in the racist crude writings of Mein Kampf, and even from Moellers Des drittes Reich from the 1920s. It can be said, therefore, though Hitler may not have been successful in achieving an oppressive state, he may certainly have desired it. Constantly, it is made obvious, through his use of racism in both Domestic and foreign policy that Hitler’s ultimate aim, was total power, both for himself and his master race - the Volksgeminschaft. Hitler 's use of racism is continually evident from the beginning of his comings to power, through till his attack on the Soviet Union in June of 1941. Racism, was initially used by Hitler to identify his sympathizers, and most predominant to unite the German people again public internal enemy number one - The Jews. Anti-semitism, anti-communism and attacks on several other minority groups ranging from slaves to democrats, provided Hitler with the Stab in the back theory post World War One, and provides and excuse for defeat with

Hitler used many tactics to control German society during the Nazi era; his outlook on how women should act is embodied in the Speech to the National Socialist Women’s Association. The speech was given by Gertrud Scholtz-Klink, the organization’s leader, with the intent to convince women to take their place in Hitler’s Nazi movement. The emphasis on women’s natural roles in the home, as mothers and wives, and the discouragement of women’s right are manifested in the persuasive language of national identity and involvement. Hitler uses Scholtz-Klink to fight for the minds of German women in a speech that asks for feminist ideals to be cast aside all for the good of the country.

Most of us have heard of the Nazi party’s horrific, genocidal regime on destroying the Jewish race, but what events led up to their dire judgement? In this study I aim to uncover the events, reasons and changes which led to the Holocaust and the further changes in the treatment of the Jewish race by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party.

Throughout the history of political parties and factions, none has been so infamous as that of the Nazi party. They were the world’s enemies for a decade in the early twentieth century, and still continue to stir up controversy throughout the world. Understanding what the Nazis believed in, how anti semitism contributed to Nazi beliefs, and if Nazis still exist today helps to conclude why they did certain actions.

The Third Reich was a racially motivated killing machine that resulted in the death of six million Jews. However, the regime’s murderous campaign was a response to a set of circumstances that allowed it to obtain control over Germany. Today, the question of what circumstances ignited the Third Reich has gained attention from historians all over the world while creating a variety of possibilities. Thus, the different perspectives have caused the subject to become controversial among the devoted historians. This is especially true when considering the views of writers Daniel J. Goldhagen, Robert Gellately, Hans Mommsen, and Norman M. Naimark.

From the time Hitler and the Nazi’s took control of Germany in 1933 until the collapse of the Third Reich in 1945, the aim of the regime under the calculating guidance of Hitler himself sought no less than global conquest. This ambitious objective can be further dissected into short term and long term goals that provide insight into Hitler’s character, thoughts and actions.

In recent years the study of the Holocaust has been one of the most interesting topics for historians to debate and analyze. There are so many different topics to consider and to discuss them all would exceed the scope of this paper. In particular, many historians like to understand what events and actions ultimately led to the Holocaust. Many scholars have debated and interpreted the process that led to such a tragic time in history. Despite many scholarly opinions, it is evident that scholars tend to focus on Hitler’s rooted ideologies in the Nazi Regime, as well as the idea that the Holocaust was a result of failures within the Nazi system. These two major views and themes will be discussed throughout the paper.

With the rise of a fascist regime in 1933 following World War I, and in light of The Depression, fascist sponsors would go on to critically undermine the quality of the parliamentary democracy that governed Germany alongside the corrupt class discrepancies of Western capitalism. In suggestion of a superior system, the advocates of fascism put out the idea of a state ruled by a leader strong enough to resuscitate the nation through acts of military and foreign policies. What followed gave rise to what would be the Nazi regime in Germany under Adolf Hitler. Through Hitler’s powerful methods of propaganda and rhetoric, Hitler reached an audience of people with a preexisting dislike towards the Semitic people. Taking advantage of this irrational aversion of the Semitic people within much of Europe, Hitler would touch upon the extremes and publish in his “Final Solution,” a plan to solve such a problem. In his plan, Hitler promised the complete extermination of Europe’s Semitic population and those others considered inferior. To the surprise of many nations, many reacted with little avail. ("The ‘Final Solution’: Background &

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.

Many people find Adolph Hitler as a cruel and wicked man after what he did during the World War II and the Holocaust. He lived an unfortunate life and brought misery to the innocent lives around him. Adolf’s relationship with his parents, failure to attend art school, and moving to Vienna helped to lead him to become the inhuman monster he was.

World War 1 left Germany with a damaged economy, a leaderless country and people’s savings had dwindled. The central government was very weak and the people of Germany were desperate for some economic relief. The morale of Germany was low and the people needed something to be proud of. Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) seemed like an answer to their economic troubles and low morale. Hitler convinced the Germans that the jews had benefited from the war and were economically more successful than the starving Germans. He convinced them they were a master race and they had been betrayed by the Jews and the Communists. Hitler organized the military, he used propaganda, and he presented the Jews as the problem

Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) was the leader of the Nazi Party and was the chancellor of Germany. Hitler was born in Austria and raised as a catholic. Hitler dreamed of becoming an artist but he really didn’t have the talents to pursue his dream. His view of the world was indelibly shaped by his early adulthood, scrounging on the streets of Vienna. It was then hitter’s anti-Semitism intensified, molded by local politicians and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. Hitler was a decorated war veteran who served in World War One. He was thought to be a brave fearless solider. When the war ended Hitler Joined precursor of the NSDAP, which was a German workers party. In 1921 he became the leader of the NSDAP party.

The Nazi Party of Germany aimed to create a ‘racially pure’ society between the years 1933 through to 1945. This society, or Volksgemeinschaft, was to contain Hitler’s ideological view on what a pure person, or Aryan should be. It also involved the exclusion of anyone who did not fit this mould. The Nazi party was extremely successful in achieving their highly aimed goal. Through the Nazi’s control over youth groups and in children’s education, the Nazi Party and Hitler were able to reach this goal in the years 1933 to 1939, and this continued through World War Two till the end of 1945. The Nazi Party convinced children about their ideologies and by doing so paved a path for the new generation to be followers of the Third Reich. Not everyone supported the Nazi regime, but overall it was accepted by society, and the youth groups helped the Nazi party form their ideal society leading up to and during the war. When Hitler became Chancellor and passed the Enabling Act in 1933, it allowed the Nazi Party to have control over Germany. The controlling of the education system allowed the Nazi’s to implement their beliefs and ideas in subjects. The Hitler Youth organisations were a way for the Nazi party to groom future supporters and members of the Nazi party. This included future SS members and the future perfect Aryan Nazi family. The policies they implemented in the schools and youth groups were what ultimately helped the Nazi party be successful in forming their idealistic
