Hitler 's henchmen were those inside the Richstag and other important segments of the German government. These include Joseph Goebbels, Hermann Goering, Rudolf Hess, Heinrich Himmler, Ernst Rohm, Reinhard Heydrich. It is debated if they escaped justice or not.
Joseph Goebbels was born in 1897 and became a doctor in philosophy in 1920. Due to his hatred of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, he joined the Nazi party near the end of 1924 to help build support for the party in Berlin. In 1923 he was given full control of the Nazi 's propaganda machine. Goebbels was elected into the Reichstag in 1928 and, at 1933, was given the role as the 'Minister of Enlightenment and Propaganda ', which he worked as until 1945. His skill at the role gave him the nickname as the 'Poison Dwarf '. At the near-end of the Second World War when Berlin was besieged by the Russians during April to May 1945, Joseph stayed with Hitler in his ' bunker. Which he was given Hitler 's watch as a token of appreciation for being with him to the very end. On May 1st, Goebbels poisoned his six children then shot his wife and then himself.
Hermann Goering was born in 1893 and found popularity in World War One as a fighter ace. Winning many awards for bravery and was the last commander of the infamous Richthofen Fighter Squadron. He joined the Nazi Party in October 1922 and wounded in the Munich Putsch. In 1928, Goering got elected to the Reichstag before he got back from Sweden. During 1932, 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
After looking into two hate groups the American Nazi Party and United Klans of America, it was noticeable that the two groups racial hatred stemmed from the fear of the well-being of their own race. Both groups fear that United States is in jeopardy of becoming a racially mixed country rather than a white one. They view many minorities coming into the country and they fear that these people will replace them. This is the reason they have distress over white people losing their jobs to minorities and the government having policies that favor minorities. It is interesting, both groups claim to not be racist, but they voice opinions stating that each race should have their own separate country. Compared to the United Klans of America, the American Nazi Party does not advocate for violence and looks to use more political tools to get their point across. On the other hand, the United Klans of America claims they will not hesitate to use violence. After researching these two groups, there is no doubt that both groups possess strong racial hatred to a wide variety of minorities groups that include Jews, blacks, Muslims, Hispanics, and homosexuals.
The Holocaust was the planned murder of the Jews and other groups who were believed to be ‘inferior’ to the ‘Aryan’ race. The Holocaust took place from 1933 to just past the end of the war in 1945. Its aim was the complete extermination or genocide of the Jewish people in Europe. The Holocaust happened under the command of Adolf Hitler, NAZI party leader, Chancellor of Germany 1933 – 1945 and Fuhrer of Germany 1934 – 1945.
In 1922, he joined the Nazi party after hearing Hitler speak and began going to the top. As soon as he had sworn his pride to Hitler he was made the commander of the SA. He marched and attempted to overthrow hitler Goring was injured and fled
During World War 2, the Nazi’s under Hitlers rule had made a decision which was to eliminate all of the Jews that were in Germany, and in German occupied territories. This was because they believed Jews to be contamination the pure, aryan-Germans. Nazi’s started sending the Jews to Concentration camps in 1938. Going to a concentration camp meant death, therefore Jews started trying to hide from Nazi officials or escape the camps. This was a dangerous task, and not everyone who did it survived.
Rudolf Hess lived from 1894-1987. He joined the Nazi party as their sixteenth member, and had worked his way from the bottom of the party to becoming Hitler’s 3rd man and deputy Fürhrer. Rudolf Hess stood by Hitler through whatever he did. He proclaimed that everything Hitler thought was the right thing to do and that everyone should listen and respect Hitler, and if they did not, they would be punished.
It all started when Adolf Hitler became the dictatorial leader of the National Socialist German Worker's Party, also called the Nazi Party, commanding German forces throughout the war. . First he announces that he will not obey the Treaty of Versailles. Secondly, Hitler bullies the Austrian leaders into accepting the Nazi rule. Next, Adolf demands to be given the Sudetenland- the part of the Czechoslovakia, where lots of Germans had lived. Finally he invades Poland and world war two begins.
The Nazi Party, also known as the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, was a mass movement under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. This movement ruled Germany between 1933 and 1945, and promoted German pride and anti-Semitism throughout the German Nation. The group was founded in 1919 and clearly expressed their resentment and anger towards the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Because of the treaty, the Germans had to take full responsibility for the war, as well as pay reparations, their army was minimised and they lost a tenth of their territory, and the Germans believed that the treaty was an attempt to ruin their economy. The Weimar Republic, which was the democratic government founded in Germany, was suffering by violent uprising and economic difficulties. The treaty was one of the main motives of the Nazi Party, as well as
The contents of culture are a good way to gauge the morals and beliefs of a society. Movies specifically are good indicators. It then comes off as more than a lighthearted issue when few American-made movies characterize Nazi Germany as actual people and instead dehumanize them. The Germans are nearly always shown in a negative light when in reality fewer than 40% of Germans voted for Hitler when he was elected. Furthermore, even fewer Germans knew about the Holocaust during the war. Most films inevitably depict all Germans as a single force hellbent on killing every Jewish person at whatever cost. World War II films such as Inglorious Basterds that dehumanize Germans through guilt by association, making them seem like an evil force, and
In the book 1984, George Orwell describes a world similar to that of the Nazi Germany. An assortment of parallels can be drawn between the totalitarian governments of Adolf Hitler and Orwell’s fictional “Big Brother.” Complete power, propaganda, and dehumanization are three main topics related to both Orwell’s novel and Nazi Germany. Complete power is achieved by the dictatorship and totalitarianism. Brainwashing in both cases uses tactics of propaganda and invasion of privacy. Dehumanization is created by torture and death of the weak. This ties directly with George Orwell’s dystopian, or an imagined place in which everything is grim, society in 1984 because Big Brother aimed to achieve the complete power by brainwashing and dehumanizing his people.
In 1933, Adolf Hitler was legally named chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg. In the following years, Hitler would take power as Führer and the Nazi party would create laws that pretty much allowed them to kill eleven million people. While the anti-semitic laws and the laws against “undesirables” were horrible, they were still laws. The truth of the matter was that Hitler belonged to the Nazi party and it was a legitimate political party with a substantial following; and their laws were enacted legally. In this essay, I will explain how both Hart’s and Fuller’s theories play into why I believe that the Nazis had laws. It begins with Hart’s idea of a sovereign body enacting legitimate laws and the complexity of the people following -- despite the immorality of the laws -- and ends with the laws becoming nullified as they lose respect. I will also address the idea that the Nazi’s power didn’t have legitimate laws because they went against laws that came before them.
Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party saw their acquisition of power in 1933 as more than simply a change of government. To the Nazis it represented the start of a transformation of German society in accordance with their ideology of National Socialism. This focused on all Germans, regardless of class or income, working for the national good as part of the Volksgemeinschaft, the People’s Community. In the period from 1933 to 1939, the Nazis ultimately achieved consensus in creating the Volksgemeinschaft through both propaganda and coercion. Propaganda and coercion ultimately underpinned the creation and the subsequent maintenance of the Nazi state with propaganda serving to popularize the regime and coercion suppressing any opposition.

(History) In 1921 Hitler became the chairman for the NSDAP. He began to instil in the people of Germany his ideas and views through his excessive public speeches. For example, he made it clear that he believed that the Jews were to blame for the Germans failure and loss of power. (History) In 1923 Hitler interrupted a meeting along with the SA and stated that the National Revolution had begun. He was arrested and then thrown into jail for one year; and during which he wrote his book, “Mein Kampf” aka “My Struggle”. In the book Hitler explained his dream of Germany becoming a pure Aryan
