Nazi Germany Beliefs

After eliminating the previous government, he discovered that he could tap into basic human nature. Human nature, namely herd mentality, can be used as a foundation because of its natural occurrence. (Jowett 42). Humans will always inevitably revert back to their basic nature. Therefore, basing his efforts on such a stable foundation provided him an anchor. Not only that, but he could easily and efficiently persuade a large group of people, knowing that once he had enough support the other citizens would follow suit. In time, societal standards grew to accommodate the new Nazi mindset. Whether people supported these news ideals or not, many lacked the audacity to revolt against the government and demand change (“Causes” 1). Hitler silenced opposing views through societal pressure; people’s need to conform prohibited them from harboring different ideals, which would cause them to stand out. The citizens of Germany were left with the choice to conform or to stand up against the government. Many people ended up conforming, therefore lending Hitler the power and support he needed to further his

Superficially, Hitler's economic policies were extremely successful. He appeared to have virtually eradicated unemployment, something no democratic Western power was able to achieve in the 1930s and within three years of gaining office. Yet beneath the "economic miracle", as Ian Kershaw points out, Hitler was pursuing economic policies in those early years which could only lead to war or a loss of power. The reality was that Hitler understood little about economics and seemed to care even less. His aims were to create full employment without inflation, to make Germany self-sufficient and to create Wehrwirtschaft, a defence economy, but in pursuing these policies he created

Hitler had shown unwillingness to tolerate the Jews and once he was appointed Chancellor, he started to take elimination measures like deportation, forced emigration, and isolation to enforce his belief. He took advantage of Germany’s weakness in World War One, then used it as an opportunity to blame the Jews for Germany’s defeat. Hitler’s political party was the largest political party in Germany thus allowing them to draw very large crowds to gatherings. He had very good oratory speeches with hand gestures that easily manipulated people to adhere to his views. Hitler constantly targeted the Jews because he knew people believed in these speeches. People in Germany were already anti-semitic but Hitler made it worse by constantly consuming them in his speeches. From the way he spoke about the Jews, we could clearly see the possibility of genocide. Hitler wanted Germany to be free of any humans that anyone other than his ideal master race so he personally selected bodyguards to be part of a group called the SS. Hitler was responsible for ordering the SS to carry out the extermination of anyone who did not fit this ideal. The SS handled oppositions using force and as a result of which people were forced to give into the idea of violence. Sometimes people purposely went along with this Holocaust ideal due to the fear of getting killed. These terrors allowed the holocaust occur

His priority was to rebuild the economy. He knew that people would follow him if he gave them a reason to believe in someone that would help them. At the time Germany didn’t have much of a choice, and having someone like Hitler who who promised to rebuild Germany and its economy was their best alternative. His specific intentions to reach the goal included, increasing employment, creating jobs through rearmament, and creating a self sufficient Germany. The entire economy was in a state of disarray when Hitler was elected chancellor. Unemployment was at six million during this time, and his promise was to make it better. Hitler succeeded, and the amount of unemployment dropped significantly to nearly 350,000 people. Unfortunately, Hitler made some questionable decisions which presented success to many, but not the Jews. Women did not count, because they were not accountable, or allowed to work. The unemployed were given choice; do whatever work is given to you by the government or be classed as “work-shy” and be put in a concentration camp along with the Jews. Part of why the number for unemployment dropped prodigiously because the Jews lost their citizenship in 1935, and therefore were not included in unemployment. Hitler and the Nazi party started the widespread persecution of the Jews. Jews were banned from all government jobs in teaching, banking, broadcasting, newspapers, and entertainment.

Hitler was in many ways a great leader and his influence on the German people was immense; he used his motivational and powerful speaking abilities to gain support and popularity. Hitler knew how to appeal to people's baser instincts and made use of their fears and insecurities. He could do that,

Hitler once said, “through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.” For example Hitler put up many posters that were used to show how the Jews were “sneaky” and how they fed off of other people that were in trouble and in need. Furthermore he put up posters showing him as a great leader. These two combinations of putting down Jews and showing how he is a great leader attracted more and more people to vote for him. Along with these posters came his uniforms. These made people look the same and made his party look more formal. Furthermore, looking more formal made him different from other parties. Also it made all the people in the party follow one dream and think very similarly. Having all this one sided information put towards them the German people knew only what was show, Hitler was a great person to have as a

Hitler was seen as a savior to many Germans, hoping Germany would be saved from its severely depressed condition following World War I. Hitler used his power to create laws in order to exclude and dismiss Jews from everyday affairs. Hitler was an excellent writer and public speaker, further aiding in his success in persuading hopeless individuals to abide by his rule, while ultimately grasping complete power over the German people.

“Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes” (34, Wiesel). After World War II, Germany’s economy was horrible. A man named Adolf Hitler was voted to rule after he promised a better economy. Once he was in power he had the goal of conquering other countries around Germany and exterminating Jews. Hitler used concentration camps that used gas chambers and weapons to kill Jews.

Hitler capitalized on Germany's feeling of having been wronged. The loud projection of his voice and emphasis really invoked a feeling of dedication among the audience, so many believed that he was the solution to the economic and political problems Germany faced. He told them they deserved their land back, that they hadn't deserved the unfair treatment they got, and that he would lead them back to greatness. He told Germans what they wanted to hear. He restored the spirits of many Germans were were depressed and angry from WW1 and the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler promised to improve the economy and make Germany just as powerful, if not more, as it used to be. This appealed to many Germans because they were suffering greatly and wanted out. The Germans hated the Jews and Hitler promised to get rid of them because they were blamed for losing WW1. His public speakings made his followers increase in numbers and the wealthy gave money and supported Hitler to run his propaganda and election campaigns. He promises Germany a better future by overturning the Treaty of

Hitler was obsessed with the racial superiority he believed the German peoples had over all other inferior peoples. He wanted to rule the world, but in order to carry out his solution, he needed to convince the German people to listen to him. Perhaps Hitler would never have been able to do what he did had World War I never occurred. As Resnick said in his book, The Holocaust; After World War I, Germany was trying to rebuild and recover…Both the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression severely afflicted Germany. "In many respects, these terrible conditions made Hitler's rise to power possible." (Resnick p. 15) People in desperate situations will listen to anyone offering a way out. Hitler offered not only a way out of Germany's turmoil, but also someone to blame for it; he pointed at the Jews.

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.

Germany’s defeat during World War 1 left the country with unstable government and uncertain people. Adolf Hitler was a man with confidence, charisma, and the ability to make friends and influence people. Hitler tried to establish a sense of community in the recovery and targeted young people, the unemployed, and members of the lower middle class. Hitler’s ability to gain followers and rise to power was a positive thing for Germany until he began using that power to convince others to take part in the Holocaust. Although Hitler was influential in the Holocaust, his intentions were to make Germany a better, brighter place. Hitler gained followers by spreading a message of hope in a positive way, substantially helped the German people out of an

Hitler’s overall goal, when he initiated the Nazi regime, was to take over the world and it kick-started when he came into power. The way that Hitler came into power was through gaining popularity in Germany. He executed this by granting the German people with what they wanted, which was: A leader that gave Germany hope, opposition towards the Treaty of Versailles and all the big power’s, in order to focus on Germany itself, and an outline on how to better German life, economy, and government. Along with Hitler’s popularity, the economic, social, and political aspects of Germany were at an all-time low and both of these factors constructed the perfect foundation for a fascist regime. This fascist regime had many different mechanisms that made the genocide possible. Some of these operations included: ghettos set up around the country, specifically for people who weren’t pure Aryan, organized death camps for people who were looked at as inferior, systematic killing within these death camps, keeping food supplies very low, which resulted in health issues and starvation, and finally the work that had to be done in these camps usually exceeded most of the prisoners physical capabilities. These death camps were designed to make sure that none of the prisoners were healthy enough to do the work they were set out to do, which is why a common result of this would be execution. The most twisted aspect about these camps is that even if you did nothing wrong you could be randomly

Hitler cultivated his own army to destroy selective demographics, he wanted to create a world where his concept of ideal was the only one that existed. As a dictator he was able to constitute laws, anyone who chose to disobey these laws would be executed. The laws that are put into place can define success through evil acts. The Holocaust is a direct example; Hitler knew he would be able to brainwash human beings to obey his commands contributing to the success of his dehumanizing scheme.

The leaders of the Nazi party made it one of the most infamous groups to lead a nation in history. The horrible things done under their rule and with their stamp of approval has made the term Nazi one of the worst possible. The amazing thing about the Nazi party is that many of the main aspects of their ideology existed in Germany even before they formed or came to power. Some of the major aspects of Nazi ideology such as antisemitism, the desire to expand the German empire, and the belief in the strength of the Aryan race existed in Germany years before Adolf Hitler was a name anyone in Germany would recognize.
