How did Nazi Propoganda Help Hitler Condolidate Power

Hitler’s assumption of power on the 30th of January 1933 was seemingly due to the mass popularity of the Nazi party. However it was far off achieving the 50% majority it needed to put Hitler automatically in power. As well as popularity, backstairs intrigue and the short-sightedness of those in power enabled Hitler to become Chancellor. The weaknesses of Germany’s political leadership were fundamental to Hitler’s success. In some senses the popularity of the party only provided an opening, available for exploitation.

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.

It was under the duress of these departments that opposition was destroyed and support was bolstered, at times out of awe and at times out of terror. “As Hitler’s reflections on propaganda make very clear, he did not see the strength of the state as residing in terror alone. Its strength lay in a combination of its ability to mobilize and to suppress.” (Gregor, 109)

Prior to his upbringing and continuing, anti-Semitism propaganda was abundant in production. Nonetheless, Hitler established a Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda headed by Joseph Goebbels. The Ministry's aim was to ensure the Nazi’s anti-semitic message was successfully spread through any mode of communication. The propaganda reignited the resentment and underlying hatred inside every German through the exploitation of anti-semetic myths entrenched in the European culture for generations. Propaganda also encouraged passivity and acceptance of the impending measures against Jews, as these appeared to depict the Nazi government restoring

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

Not many people know of the reason on how Hitler came to the rise of his power and how he took control of Germany and started the revolution that was World War II. In order for Hitler to gain power, there were events that had occurred which may have impacted as an aide for his rise in power. There was the Treaty of Versailles, which was the treaty that the allies came up with to end World War I. The Munich Beer Hall Putsch was an event to help gain support for Hitler’s group. Hitler gained his recognition of power after Hindenburg’s death on August 2, 1934, so all of the events discussed in this paper are before this time. (1) I will investigate and analyze the failures of these events, which helped lead to that point of when Hitler was known to become the notorious dictator that he is known

As the Nazi political party, also known as the National Socialist German Workers ' Party, grew, they needed a way to keep control over and continue to influence German citizens of their ideology. The Nazi party’s propaganda is considered to be ingenious because of it’s ability to quietly influence the German citizens to the party’s hateful message. The Nazi party was also known to be effective in using the new form of media, film, to influence the younger generation. These claims are untrue because the Nazis were not always successful in influencing German citizens or in the citizens had little faith for propaganda to provide answers. Other citizens flat out did not believe the Nazi idea that the Jewish people were a subordinate race. Despite the Nazi’s near total control of the German media through film, art, posters, and the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, the Nazi party still failed to convince the whole German population of their ideology.

The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the extent to which anti-Semitism throughout Germany contributed to Hitler’s rise to power. The main body of the investigation will focus on the tactics which were used within the Nazi party to gain support towards Hitler’s political beliefs. The formation of the Nazi party and the use of anti-Semitic propaganda will also be analyzed. Sources will be assessed in order to formulate reasoning behind the effectiveness of Hitler’s influence over the Nazi party. Journal articles and speeches from this time period will be examined according to their origin, value, purpose and limitations. These documents as well as a summary of evidence will be used to properly evaluate the investigation.

There are various elements to consider as to how Hitler maintained power between 1933 and 1945. Many historians argue that the most significant element was the consent of the German people. Others, however, suggest that factors such as: propaganda, force, opposition or economic factors, are accountable. By assessing these four passages, interpretations can be made as to which element was most significant.

In the 1900’s during the time of the Great War Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany. He ruled everything his citizens did including public communication, jobs, and especially the military. At this time there was a large feud between races and the minorities were not treated equally. All of these problems eventually led to the downfall of Nazi Germany. “The leader gained support for his ideas through informational text, which filled the popular media with

In the early 1930’s, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party used the widespread discontent of the German people to gain support from them. There was resentment at the territorial, military, and economical terms of

In the following investigation, the following question will be addressed: In what ways did economic and political issues in Germany between 1922 and 1932 contribute to Hitler's rise to power? The scope of my research will fall between the years of 1922-1932, the start of Hitler’s attempt to run for office. A variety of primary and secondary sources will be used to answer the question. The bitterness caused upon the change of government systems in Germany will be analyzed, along with his childhood that all primarily drove Hitler to run for power. Then, the harsh effects World War I had on Germany along with the Great Depression that followed as a result will also be looked at. Finally, a conclusion will be reached.

Topic sentence. Subtopic sentence. In 1921, Hitler became chairman of Nazi Party (“Adolf” 1). Hitler would speak out and use his power to spread his beliefs. The more he talked the more people would listen. Hitler used the Nazi Party to help him gain power and followers. The Nazi would use propaganda such as pictures, radio broadcast, and posters (Rothman 1). Pictures were used to show what a good life Hitler could provide and what an esteemed ruler he was. to help himself look successful and worldly he remodeled all of his places of living (Rothman 1). A financially weak Germany found refuge in Hitler’s idea of taking from jews. However, Hitler lost the Presidential Election of 1932 in Germany even with his gaining popularity (“Adolf” 2).

In his book Mein Kampf, (My Struggle), Adolf Hitler wrote “the more unified this use of of the fighting will of a people, the greater will be the magnetic attractive force of a movement” (365). In 1933, the National Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) Party took hold of Germany at a vulnerable point in the nation’s history after losing World War I. Hitler, leader of the Nazi party and the Fuhrer of the Third Reich, convinced people of the radical “truths” he proposed, promising to lead Germany to utopia and ultimate international power. Although the Nazi ideals were radical and outrageous, Germans obeyed the Nazi Party because of their power to instill fear, to create a false sense of beneficence, and to persuade masses to their side through crowd theory.

Adolf Hitler’s rise to power as Chancellor of Germany and leader of the German people is often portrayed as the result of a sweeping electoral victory. In reality Hitler’s rise was incremental, requiring (a patchwork of political support from) an assimilation of support from various demographics as well as influential political figures. An area of perpetual historiographical debate is, specifically, which demographic was more essential to Hitler’s rise - one school of thought maintains the significance of the lower middle class in the (spread and rise to power of the) popularization of the Nazi party, while the other argues that it was the “German elite” who more effectively aided them. The following essay will focus primarily on the
