Explain how the Nazi party developed between 1924 and 1929.
In the early years when the party was called the DAP no one would have thought it would become any major driving force but only a short lived Stammtisch creation. When there greatest gem in the form of Hitler resigned and was put in jail it looked bleak for the now new NSDAP. When he was released the party was in shambles, there were divisions among the party itself and membership was on the decline and Germany found itself in political and economic calm.
Mein Kampf which was later to become the bible of Nazism was published in 1924. Hitler wrote this in jail so he had a slot of time to reflect on what direction he wanted he wanted to take the party on. It provides the basic

The Nazis like many movements of their time started organisations for many aspects of life the most notable the, Hitler youth, Nazi teachers’ organisation, union of Nazi lawyers and the order of German women. This shows that the Nazis wanted a totalitarian state and re-developed and re-organised during the 1924-1929 period to start this. In 1925 the SS were
The beginning of the Nazi Party can be traced back to 1919, just a year after the end of World War 1. Beginning with a group of unemployed soldiers unhappy about the Treaty of Versailles, the group quickly spiraled into a mass movement. In 1921, a former army veteran by the name of Adolf Hitler joined the association and quickly became the group's leader. Hitler soon began gaining new members as he went throughout the country advocating anti-semitism ideas and the idea that Germany would continue to suffer, unless their was a total revolution of German life where Jews and communists were eliminated. His ideas caught the attention of many, especially young, economically disadvantaged Germans, as they saw this as a chance to gain more than they ever had
The Nazis used different methods to control the German population. The SS became the main means of terrorising and intimidating Germans into obedience. The SS had almost unlimited power to arrest and imprison people without trial, search houses or confiscate property. The SS had undercover agents in every town to snoop on political suspects and potential troublemakers. The SS also ran the concentration camps.
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
The Nazi Party began in 1919 as the German Workers' Party in Munich created by Anton Drexler(“Nazi Germany”). The Nazis came to true power with an influential leader in Adolf Hitler. Hitler was a powerful leader who tapped into the fear of his followers to guide them into becoming strong followers. The Nazi’s propaganda seemed to promise the citizens of Germany to pull them out of the depression they were in at the time (“The Nazi Rise To Power”). The Nazis wrote each of their speeches depending the audience they would have. An example of this is, “ when speaking to businessmen, the Nazis downplayed antisemitism and instead emphasized anti-communism and the return of German colonies lost through the Treaty of Versailles”(“The Nazi Rise To Power”). On January 30, 1993, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany after a series of previous failures of
Hitler’s rise to power was the result of many factors, but Hitler’s ability to take advantage of Germany’s poor leadership and economical and political conditions was the most significant factor. His ability to manipulate the media and the German public whilst taking advantage of Germany’s poor leadership resulted in both the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Hitler and the nazi party. During the early 1920s, Germany was struggling with economic instability and political uncertainty. Germany, after being defeated in the Great War, was forced to sign the unforgiving treaty of Versailles, which the Weimar Republic was held responsible for. This brought forward feelings of fear, anger and
From 1933, the Nazis Party have aimed to create the policy of Volksgemeinschaft, this is a component focused on the heart of the people’s community based on traditional values of the German people. The German society underwent radical changes under the Nazi regime as Hitler introduced various policies that have had a substantial effect on 6 prominent groups: German women, youth, schools and universities and churches, working class and the Jews. The implementation of Hitler’s new policies in the period 1933-1939 can be assessed to have significantly effected and transformed Germany society socially and culturally.
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.
The Great Depression played a big role in helping the Nazi Party capture power. Many nations were suffering from the Great Depression in 1930, including Germany who had to pay for the war reparations. During this period of economic and politic crisis, the country had been easily influenced by the politics parties. They wanted someone who is capable and had what it takes to be their leader to lead them through the huge crisis that they were facing. Most Germans who are in desperate state as they wanted Germany to be like once, able to be proud of and not in such a state where they had to struggle to fulfill the almost impossible terms of the Treaty of Versailles. They considered that period as a disgraceful decade in their history. Due to
Also contributing to the ease in which the Nazis were able to consolidate their power was the banning of all other political parties. On 14th July 1933, the Law Against the Establishment of Parties was passed. This meant that the Nazi Party was now
The Death head officers where the high-ranking members of the SS, a group of men that were regarded as the elite members of the nazi party. Hitler's original group of soldiers was the SA. The two parties eventually became one under the leadership of Hitler. Himmler, wanted the SS, his group, to become the supreme, elite group of the nazi party and got over 3000 men to join the SS which made the SS become the superior, elite party. Himmler secretly worked to kill Ernst Rohm, the leader of the SA. In 1934, Hitler became worried that the SA had became too powerful and commanded the SS to execute the higher ranking members of the SA. One of the people executed was Ernst Rohm, which boosted the position of Himmler. All the members of the SS had
<br>Hitler regained control of the Nazi Party upon his release in December 1924. From 1925 to 1930 Hitler built a network of local parties over most of Germany. He also organized the Schutzstaffel or the "SS", a group that performed police tasks. They carried out violent acts against Hitler's enemies. Unemployed young men who joined Hitler's groups were given food, shelter, uniforms and a sense of purpose.
Hitler suppressed the remaining opposition after he gained the full control of the government. The Social Democratic Party was banned and its properties seized. When many trade union representatives were in Berlin for May Day activities, their offices were demolished. All trade unions were compelled to dissolve. The leaders of trade unions were arrested and some of them were sent to concentration camps. An association called The German Labor Front formed to represent workers, company owners, administrators, thereby reflected the idea of National Socialism of Hitler’s spirit. Then, the Nazis' nominal coalition partner, the DNVP had been threatened to disband.
In 1933 Adolf Hitler was chosen as Chancellor of Germany by president Paul von Hindenburg. With this, the Nazi party came to power. Originally called the National Socialist German Workers party (Nazi for short), the Nazi party emphasized how Laissez-faire capitalism, economic liberalism, and democracy failed in government. The National Socialists stressed the importance of the impeccability of the German race. Although they had very determined ideas, The Nazi party began as a relatively small group in 1918. But coming into the 1930’s this was not the case. The widespread use of propaganda and radio broadcasting were instrumental to the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party.
The leaders of the Nazi party made it one of the most infamous groups to lead a nation in history. The horrible things done under their rule and with their stamp of approval has made the term Nazi one of the worst possible. The amazing thing about the Nazi party is that many of the main aspects of their ideology existed in Germany even before they formed or came to power. Some of the major aspects of Nazi ideology such as antisemitism, the desire to expand the German empire, and the belief in the strength of the Aryan race existed in Germany years before Adolf Hitler was a name anyone in Germany would recognize.
