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.

Hitler was a very powerful man and could persuade a crowd with just his words. He is even portrayed like this in one of Max’s vivid dreams. “As we speak, he is plotting his way into your neighborhood. He’s moving in next door. He’s infesting you with his family and he’s about to take you over… Will you simply stand there and let him do this?”(254).

Around the world, national economies were tanking, the U.S., Germany, England, France, and Italy. People were becoming unemployed and were losing their homes to bank foreclosures as the cost of living was on a high rise at the time. Everyone wanted someone to blame for their problems and Hitler gave them just that. Hitler knew about the weaknesses in Germany at the time and he gave the Germans an innocent race to blame to gain power. He convinced industrialist that he alone could increase consumerism and in turn bring more production. With the increase in production Germany’s pride would begin to restore both in world standings and at home. Even

Once in power, Adolf Hitler wasted no time establishing a fascist regime. He was a man obsessed with translating his ideals into a reality. In order to accomplish such a feat, Hitler and the Nazi party would have to mold the German people into a single unit that would follow him and his regime under any circumstances (Spielvogel, 140). Hitler viewed himself as a messianic leader with a mission to “liberate the German people and make Germany great” (Spielvogel, 132). Hitler was a great orator and considered himself a “great simplifier.” During his speeches, he “inhaled the feelings of his audience,” and then expressed to his listeners

In a state of economic hardship, germans in the 1920s were desperate for answers. Hitler took advantage of these vulnerable, desperate people using his well liked “war hero” status to populate his beliefs. Starting off in

By reading the works of Gustave Le Bon, he learned about how the psychology of the crowd works. From this information, Hitler learned how to unify the crowd by pointing out a common problem, then he showed how he can get rid of the problem so that they would want to help him and give him their loyalty. In order to convince the audience, Hitler used a lot of repetition and stereotypes in his speech (“Hitler’s Guide”). Another thing he did in his speeches was use the either-or fallacy by creating false dilemmas, such as “either the Germans will annihilate the Jews or the Jews will enslave them” (“How

When Hitler gave his speeches, he made quite sure to stir up all sorts of pride, emotion, and nationalism within the Germans. One of his tactics was to make everyone he was speaking to felt somewhat special. By making them

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.

Hitler used propaganda as a big part of his campaign, it was used as a technique to persuade the masses to think what he wanted them to think and to achieve his goals. The political campaigns and political fights relate to Hitler’s goals by making the Nazi Party seem like a strong party and portray Hitler as a strong leader through the use of propaganda, the SA, and through a bar fight. One of his techniques on how to use propaganda is stated in this quote “it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over” (Wiesner,346). If you have a few good sounding points that will be constantly showed and repeated endlessly the masses will eventually perceive the points as truth. And one key point he was constantly repeating over and over is the idea that the Nazi party symbolizes strength. The

In the 1930s a man named Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany. The country was in a financial crisis. After they lost World War 1, Germany’s economy had dropped greatly. Hitler had began to think that

Hitler had a theory that he could easily persuade people that were in large crowds. This is called “herd-poisoning”. He felt this was an environment where individuals could lose their identity and be merged with the crowd. Whatever everyone else was feeling, that’s what the individual would feel too. This robbed people of their individual freedom. “Assembled in a crowd, people lose their powers of reasoning and their capacity for moral choice.” Hitler, as they called him, was an orator. The orator speaks to masses of individuals. They are at his mercy and, if he knows his business, he can do what he likes with them. And Hitler definitely knew his business. He was able, in his own words, “to follow the lead of the great mass in such a way that from the living emotion of his hearers the apt word which he needed would be suggested to him and in its turn this would go straight to the heart of his hearers.” He knew that if he tugged at the people’s heartstrings, they would listen to him and worship him. Which is exactly what he wanted. Hitler was also a loud-speaker, proclaiming the most secret desires, the least admissible instincts, the sufferings and most personal revolts of a whole nation. He started doing all of this to the German masses. Hitler was exploring and exploiting the secret fears and hopes, the cravings, anxieties and frustrations of the German masses.

Hitler’s rise to power had many contributing factors, these include his leadership skills which were displayed at an early age, his early interest in politics, and his strong political views and visions for the future of Germany. At the time of Hitler’s Reign over Germany he maintained control through fear and strong Propaganda. He used fear to maintain control because he did not want the German people to go against him, as well as this he used strong propaganda to show what he believed in and to convince the German people to follow him.

Establishing how the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi) rose to power and maintained its grip in Germany, an examination of the aftermath of World War I (WWI) and the impact of the worldwide stock market crash is very crucial. When WWI ended and the Treaty of Versailles was made, it essentially blamed the war on Germany and required that the country pay war reparations it could not afford, causing the German citizens to become greatly embittered and fearful about the future due to many severe economic hardships. This fear and bitterness presented the Nazi regime with a massive advantage since the Germans were willing to do anything to break free from their economic crisis. With Adolf Hitler and his very persuasive personality

In response to this question about what caused so many people to follow Hitler has many pieces of evidence to this. First of all Hitler was a veteran from WW1 and achieved the iron cross for bravery. After Germany lost the war many people felt unconditional because people were upset that they lost the war, this is when Hitler found his chance to step in and take over. Being a incredible public speaker he reached out into the audience of the crowd. People were amazed by the impact he had on people, he was able to get any crowd going in his favor. During this he stated running for bigger spots on the population board. Eventually after many years of gaining people trust and promising a new germy of power and fear the people started to follow Hitler

Speech is undeniably powerful, but in order to transform devoted followers, a leader must be able to execute strategic planning. The component regarding charismatic speech is simply to expand followers; however, the ability to initiate process through tactics is crucial. In this case, Hitler used a substantial variety of propaganda to campaign his military and enforce power onto his nation. Nazi propaganda became a crucial element for obtaining and maintaining the German power. There was a vision enforced and to carry out that vision, he must keep his followers interested and increasing in numbers. Evidently, from a study regarding Hitler on
