How Is Hitler Successful

For Hitler, the communication gap and differences within the government deterred his followers from creating a solid opposition to his power. Mommsen stated, “The movement’s energies had to become totally absorbed in internal ‘disputes over areas of competency…’” (171). Another advantage Hitler had when dealing with people was his charisma. He was “uniquely talented in being able to change the minds” of officials who started to doubt the Hitler’s wisdom. Hitler had a habit of tirelessly trying to convince nonbelievers by persuasion. His behavior had people feeling that he was determined and had a sense of purpose. Along with Goebbels as Propaganda Minister, Hitler had the “fate of the nation” in him and Germany had never seen a leader like him (165). Hitler had “come to symbolize the unity and substance of the nation” (167). When complaints arose about the party and the Nazi regime, Hitler was exempt from them and citizens thought that if he only knew what was happening, then he would change it.

To determine the extent to which Nazi propaganda was the key in Hitler’s consolidation of power, this report will identify the key factors that helped Hitler consolidate power and adjudge how big of a factor propaganda was in comparison to the others. Consequently, the report will include of a conclusive statement to answer the research question to whether or not Propaganda was a major factor to Hitler’s consolidation of power.

With Germans of all outlooks desperately seeking solutions for the nation's problems, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party began their climb to power. 'Hitler was gifted with effective political talents. He offered an explanation for Germany's defeat, and a vision of Germany's future destiny, that played upon the fears, prejudices, and hopes of many Germans. He promised to rebuild Germany's power and restore its prosperity' (Isaacman, 16). This won the support of many Germans. Hitler was such an effective speaker that anything he said was believed even if it was not true.

As the citizens of Germany endorsed Hitler’s new cutting-edge ideas, they gained enthusiasm and determination to regain their power. Germany came to the conclusion that war was the only solution to their problem when Hitler wrote, “No nation can remove this hand from its throat except by the sword” (Document A). These words reveal that Hitler’s thoughts and opinions affected those around him. By saying this, he suggested that he understood what Germany wanted and knew that they wouldn’t get it unless they followed his methods. People who read what Hitler wrote were hugely impacted by it, so much so that they began to think with their emotions instead of their heads.

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.

After World War I, Germany was deeply influenced by Hitler’s ideology. He was able to influence a nation to support his view of an superior race and Germany would be a great nation again. The field of social psychology can be applied to how Hitler was able to manipulate his country into following his ideology. One tactic that Hitler used was the foot in the door phenomenon. By fulfilling little promise to the people of Germany, the citizen were more likely to agree with bigger demands under Hitler’s authority. The conditions after World War I was idea for Hitler to gain a foot in the door. The economy in Germany crashed and left with a massive debt because of the war. When Hitler promised to make Germany great again and created more jobs for

During Adolf Hitler’s early years he had a difficult life, he was extremely loved by his mother, Klara Hitler. On the other hand his father, Alois Hitler, beat him regularly. Adolf was a resentful, discontented child. He was deeply hostile toward his father Alois, and strongly attached to his hard-working mother. At the age of sixteen with dreams of becoming a painter, Adolf left school. In October 1907, Adolf left home for Vienna where he remained until 1913, he embittered at his rejection by the Viennese Academy of Fine Arts, he was to spend “five years of misery in woe.” In Vienna he acquired his first education in politics by studying “The demagogic techniques of the popular Christian social Mayer, Karl Lueger.” He picked up the stereotyped obsessive anti-semitism, with his brutal

“As an army political agent, he joined the small German Workers’ Party in Munich (September 1919).”(1) The German Workers’ party was like a small private club that met in secret to talk about different things. Which sounds like they were up to no good. “In 1920 he was put in charge of the party’s propaganda and left the army to devote himself to improving his position within the party, which in that year was renamed the National-sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (Nazi).”(1) That group was the start of something horrid. It was the start of the Nazi regime. Hitler worked his way up the chain of command in the group. “In July 1921 he became their leader with almost unlimited powers.”(1) It only took around two years to become the leader of that group. Which again shows that he can weave his way to the top from being nothing. “With his charismatic personality and dynamic leadership, he attracted a devoted cadre of Nazi leaders, men whose names today live in infamy—Johann Dietrich Eckart (who acted as a mentor for Hitler), Alfred Rosenberg, Rudolf Hess, Hermann

Hitler had a rough childhood. His father was stern and his mother was the same. They both died when Hitler was young and impressionable. He aspired to be an artist, but when he applied to the art institute, he was rejected. Later on, he tried again, but to no avail, he had failed again. Since his dreams of being a artist were crushed he enlisted in the German army. He had been injured twice, once in the eyes. When he was on leave for his second injury, Germany submitted their surrender. Hitler thought of this as betrayal after all he had fought for. Also he considered this a sign that the strong Germany he knew was gone.

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 rise and subsequent take-over of power in Germany by Hitler and the Nazi Party in the early 1930s was the culmination and continuation not of Enlightenment thought from the 18th and 19th century but the logical conclusion of unstable and cultural conditions that pre-existed in Germany. Hitler’s Nazi Party’s clear manipulation of the weak state of the Weimar Republic through its continued failure economically and socially, plus its undermining of popular support through the signing the Treaty of Versailles all lead to the creation of a Nazi dictatorship under the cult of personality of Hitler. This clear take-over of power and subsequent destruction of any

Hitler’s propaganda included ideas that most Germans agreed with and many people began to follow the Nazis. Darby believes that the collapse of the republic was one of the biggest benefits to Hitler’s rise to power. Since the collapse of Weimar was preventable, the war that followed should be too. Clearly, Hitler’s aggression was not

How good was Hitler as a military commander? Was he, as his former subordinates claimed after World War Two ended, a meddlesome amateur who kept them from conducting the war properly? What were his strengths and weaknesses, his goals and methods? The answers to these questions reveal a man who was indeed responsible for Germany's downfall, though not entirely in the way that his generals claimed.

Joining the DAP in 1919, Hitler was one of the 40 members in the group. Soon after joining the party, they changed their name to the NSDAP. Hitler became chairman in 1921. Within five months of becoming chairman, Hitler declared himself Fuhrer of the now 3000-member group. After reluctantly losing control of the party, Hitler reimposed his leadership as ultimate arbiter in the year 1926. The NSDAP gained more and more popularity, and eventually Hitler decided to run for president but lost, twice. Luckily, he followed the old saying from William Edward Hickson, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again.” His persistence paid off, when he became the chancellor in 1933. As chancellor he passed the Enabling Act, which legally gave Hitler the right to be, in essence, a dictator. When Hidenburg, the dictator, died, Hitler seized and exploited this opportunity, and merged his position as chancellor with the position of dictator, effectively giving himself complete control over Germany. In his new role, Hitler took over the Czechoslovakian State, which further increased his political power. Hitler did not let his many oppugnant trials discourage him in his quest for political

Lacking money outside of an orphan's pension and funds from selling postcards” (Biography.com). This rejection caused Hitler to become interested in politics and war. He was particularly impressed with the anti-Semitic, nationalist Christian-Socialist
