Hitler was especially noted when he earned the First Class Iron Cross, the highest military honor a German could receive. Hitler 's commander had ended up in No Man 's Land, screaming for help. Hitler, crawled out of his trench and pulled him to safety, without get shot down or killed. This gave
Hitler a sense of belonging and respect, two things he had never gotten at home. “I sank down upon my knees and thanked Heaven out of the fullness of my heart” (Raggett). Hitler had said.
Instead of an Austrian soldier, at that very moment he received the Iron Cross, he became
German.
Hitler used this to his advantage; especially when he ran for president and gained power, the Iron Cross gave an image of a dedicated and well decorated soldier to

It was a slap in the face. Hitler soon became bitter over the treaty and over the loss of German The next event that controlled Hitler’s life was the Beer Hall Putsch, in November of 1923. The Nazi
Party, with Hitler as the leader, led a revolution against the ever collapsing government in
Germany. It failed, because of the disorganization, lack of men, and the fact that even the few men he had were very inexperienced. Germany was in ruins at the end of WWI, which was perfect for Hitler. People were unemployed, starving and freezing to death, and there was no stable government, because of the postwar damage and the Versailles Treaty. Along with those factors, the humiliation of losing did a toll not only on Hitler, but Germany as a nation. Germany was asking for a way out, and just then Hitler came on national television, being his trial for the Beer Hall Putsch. During this trial,
Hitler “claimed to have acted out of sincere, patriotic motives” (White). Also during this trial,
Hitler was wearing his Iron Cross, and blaming the Weimar Republic for betrayal. He made the
Germans see that the Versailles Treaty was an act of betrayal; and then justified all of this by stating that he was doing what was right for Germany, and that the Weimar were the ones that wronged Germany. Just what the German people wanted; a savior, to rescue them from the economic collapse of their beloved country. Another event that was crucial in Hitler’s rising

The events throughout his life have been reviewed by many people. This paper will touch on his early years , rise of power , and death.

This essay will talk about the life of the Nazi Party (also known as the National Socialist German Workers ' Party), Fascism in Germany, and Adolf Hitler. It will think about what influenced Germany to vote for the Nazis and whether or not Hitler was brought up with the idea of fascism, or whether he was mentally scarred from a young age. This essay will also discuss about how did the Nazis do in their early years in the German elections, and how did a fascist party with such ludicrous ideas persuade a country as large and as multi - religion as Germany?
When Adolf Hitler's name is spoken, most people will think of genocide and the loss of thousands of lives, but rarely does anyone think of the overwhelming influence he had on the Weimar Republic. Although Hitler’s impact to Germany isn’t a contribution, he still made an impact on Germany and it’s people perpetually. Adolf Hitler is an atrocious man, but he’s also a genius. He convinced thousands of people that he could help them, their families, and their country. People should remember the impact Hitler made on the Weimar Republic, good or bad. Although Hitler ruined many lives of the Weimar Republic, Hitler's strength was demonstrated through his climb to infamousy, manipulation, gift of oratory, and charisma that lead to his position in history.
Hitler used General Ludendorff to convince the three to join. Soon afterwards the three slipped out and reported Hitler to police. Hitler’s revolution had failed before it had a chance to live. Hitler became frantic and hid at his friends the Hanfstaengls where he was arrested three nights later (www.Historyplace.com/putsch).
Although the government had made its own promises to the people, its previous blunders made them untrustworthy in the eyes of the Germans. The signing of the treaty of
Hitler considered the Treaty a scandal and a disgrace an act of highway robbery against the German people. According to the Versailles Treaty, the war guilt was blamed on Germany. This was devastating news to the Germans because it’s not of a German social value that they are losers. The German educational system emphasized nationalism and strong connection between one and the country, and in this situation furthered people’s discontent ruined people’s pride of their country, and resonated with people’s feelings. The German social value reinforced people’s discontent and anger towards the losing of war because it’s just like ancient Rome; the Germans couldn’t bear the idea of losing a battle,because it was a sign of weakness and a form of humiliation. The lame went straight to the Weimar Republic because it was the Republic that sealed the fate of Germany at the Paris Peace Conference. Germany didn’t have any experience with democracy prior to the Weimar Republic. People’s faith in democracy was furthermore deeply shaken by the signing of the Treaty of Versailles and gave opportunities to dictators like Hitler to
Living in the crumbled remains of Germany, or the Weimar Republic, in the 1920’s was a dismal existence. Hyperinflation was rampant and the national debt skyrocketed as a result of the punishing features of the Treaty of Versailles. During the depression, however, a mysterious Austrian emerged from the depths of the German penal system and gave the desperate German people a glimpse of hope in very dark times. He called for a return to “Fatherland” principles where greater Germany was seen as the center of their universe with zealous pride. Under Hitler’s leadership, Nazi Germany rapidly grew and expanded, continually approaching the goal of world domination and the “Thousand-Year

And, then, for the cause that I think is the most crucial. The Treaty of Versailles. Hitler, and the rest of Germany I?m sure, found this treaty to be harsh and unfair. Why should they have to be the ones that had to pay for everything? Why shouldn?t they be allowed to build an army as strong as they could? They could have gotten attacked, and without the best army they could manage, they would be unable to protect themselves. So they violated the treaty, in multiple fashions, and that in itself was enough to cause the war without any help from the other causes up above.
Eighty-three years ago one man with big hopes became ruler of Germany. This man was able to completely change the way that the Germans thought in a very negative way. He was incredibly talented with motivational speeches and was able to ‘rattle’ a crowd with his thoughts and opinions. This powerful man had the name of Hitler. Hitler became known to the man whom to kill millions of many innocent people for no apparent reason. Some would ask why such a person would endure in such evil, but there is no clear answer. Hitler rose to power when Germany soon came out of WW1 and were in a great depression. The Germans were desperate for change and in much need of a strong
Adolf Hitler’s rise of power saw no objection from the people due to their urgency. The Germans wanted to relive themselves from the disrespect of the Treaty of Versailles. They wanted someone to soothe their fears of inflation and depression. He gave the people the image of a dynamic, authoritarian leader who was determined to rescue Germany and return it to a position of dominance. Within five years he had given his nation stability
One of the key events that allowed Hitler to come to power was the collapse of the German economy. Primarily due to the harsh conditions of The Treaty of Versailles the German economy was always precariously close to falling apart. It managed to survive an extreme amount of hyperinflation in the early 1920’s, wherein “money became
as the end of ww1 came around, the imperial government collapsed, leading path straight to power for hitler. Hitler had forced all his hate into jews, and once he go to the top of the small-now growing larger- nationalist political party, he had become an idol tol most russians and all worshiped hitler. He became an iconic figure, and influenced many to follow him. After felling as if he had enough supporters, hitler ran for president in 1982. Although he had lost,he was still appointed chancellor by the president-a huge mistake he woulds soon regret. Over the years, Hilter forced more power to him, convincing everyone it was for the better. As soon as he had gotten these new powers, including being able to pass laws without them being passed,

The Nazi party was built upon the ruins of a devastated Germany in the early years of the interwar period. Hitler worked as a spy for the German army in Munich in 1919. Soon after, he joined the German Workers’ Party. Hitler’s great speeches helped grow the party both in popularity and in numbers. Hitler renamed the party the Nationalist Socialist Workers’ Party (NSDAP) to reflect their more extremist political views (Campbell 2004). Hitler replaced the founder Anton Drexler in 1921 as the chairman (Stone 2013). In the years to follow, fueled by his supporters, Hitler’s impatience grew. He had the naïve perception that he could overthrow Germany’s parliament in one violent coup d’état. He had hoped this would spark a series of revolutions across Germany. Hitler had been an admirer of Benito Mussolini’s March on Rome leading to his ascension into power (Stone
