Nazi Ideology And The Nazi Party

At the end of WWI, Germany was directly blamed for causing the great conflict. Many Germans could not accept this blame, and believed designed by the Jewish people as part of a greater conspiracy. Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. The Nazi rise to power ended the Weimar Republic, the German democracy that was established after World War I. The Nazi state, also called The Third Reich, quickly became a regime in which citizens had no guaranteed basic rights. Hitler’s first objective was to eliminate political opposition. The assault against the Jews began with a boycott of Jewish businesses. A week later the Nazis dismissed Jews from civil service, and by the end of the month the participation of Jews in German schools was restricted. In May 1933, thousands of Nazi students and professors stormed university libraries and bookstores in cities throughout Germany to

Throughout Nazi Germany in the period 1928 through to 1941, racism was utilized by Hitler, and in turn his Nazi party, firstly to secure Hitler’s position as a dictator, and secondly to unite the German people against a common enemy, which would lead to a united powerful state, ready and able to exert its national will. Whether or not his aims were oppressive in nature is debatable but, his aims for racial purification and domination over Eastern Europe are made obvious before Hitler’s assumption of power, primarily in the racist crude writings of Mein Kampf, and even from Moellers Des drittes Reich from the 1920s. It can be said, therefore, though Hitler may not have been successful in achieving an oppressive state, he may certainly have desired it. Constantly, it is made obvious, through his use of racism in both Domestic and foreign policy that Hitler’s ultimate aim, was total power, both for himself and his master race - the Volksgeminschaft. Hitler 's use of racism is continually evident from the beginning of his comings to power, through till his attack on the Soviet Union in June of 1941. Racism, was initially used by Hitler to identify his sympathizers, and most predominant to unite the German people again public internal enemy number one - The Jews. Anti-semitism, anti-communism and attacks on several other minority groups ranging from slaves to democrats, provided Hitler with the Stab in the back theory post World War One, and provides and excuse for defeat with

Within Germany, a country torn between the rise of a totalitarian party that determined a superior race, Nazism, and the survival of the oppressed, young Germans face a test between a sense of self and society. Individuality would be suppressed within this new type of society, and being different would be the deadliest obstruction to life. The violations of the rights to life, religion, and speech are relived through the stories of the German youth that lived through this haunting time, whose name would be tarnished in their struggle to survive. In their fight, their morals would be challenged and influenced until the Nazi regime ended, and the violation of human dignity would leave them wondering if life was worth living after all. The Nazi Party grew under its leader, Adolf Hitler, which struggled not to use violence against those that disagreed with their views, starting with armed groups known as the Strum Abteilung, who pledged to be ready to sacrifice their life in the aims of the Nazi Party and absolute loyalty to their leader. Their cruel intolerance began by their strong nationalism and their hatred of democracy and communism, and they gained power through the economic depressions around the world, controlling the media by instilling fear and propaganda that influenced a strong belief in their leaders. This belief in the leaders would soon seem to override Church influence when the official body of the Church failed to do anything significant

The Nazis came into power on the 30th of January, 1933. By that year Hitler had total control over the country. Hitler possessed a dominant presence and was able to get people to listen to him, he was very persuasive in making the Germans believe that the Jews were the problem of Germany. He vowed to use his skill in public speaking and his position in authority and gain political power the right way. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler believed that Jews were an inferior race, alien threat to German racial purity. Anti- Semites such like Hitler believed that the reason for their country’s loss in 1918 were the Jews. Many Jews were killed during the Holocaust, the Nazis tried to keep this operation a secret but was made virtually impossible due to the amount of

After Germany lost World War I, it was in a national state of humiliation. Their economy was in the drain, and they had their hands full paying for the reparations from the war. Then a man named Adolf Hitler rose to the position of Chancellor and realized his potential to inspire people to follow. Hitler promised the people of Germany a new age; an age of prosperity with the country back as a superpower in Europe. Hitler had a vision, and this vision was that not only the country be dominant in a political sense, but that his ‘perfect race’, the ‘Aryans,’ would be dominant in a cultural sense. His steps to achieving his goal came in the form of the Holocaust. The most well known victims of the Holocaust were of course, the Jews.

Hitler’s rise to power was the result of many factors, but Hitler’s ability to take advantage of Germany’s poor leadership and economical and political conditions was the most significant factor. His ability to manipulate the media and the German public whilst taking advantage of Germany’s poor leadership resulted in both the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Hitler and the nazi party. During the early 1920s, Germany was struggling with economic instability and political uncertainty. Germany, after being defeated in the Great War, was forced to sign the unforgiving treaty of Versailles, which the Weimar Republic was held responsible for. This brought forward feelings of fear, anger and

In response to the factional society of the Weimar Republic, Nazism endeavored to create a new, more-unified society; an ideal national community, populated by an ethnically and culturally homogenous citizenry dogmatically obedient to the theories, laws, and policies of the central governing apparatus (the Nazi Hierarchy and ultimately Hitler). To attain its aims, Nazism employed a variety of tactics: laws were enacted to ethnically purify the population (e.g., the 1935 Nuremberg Laws), sentiments were propagated with the intention of uniting the population behind its leadership (i.e., the Führer Principle), and policies were

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.

In the time just before the Nazi regimes rise to power, the German people were still paying back war reparations and forced in the treaty of Versailles to accept the full blame of causing World War One. Being German was not at this time to be proud; there was guilt and shame amongst the population. The Nazi ideology appealed to the German people because it advocated unification, equality, power, and put the blame of their suffering on the Jews. The Nazi way was attractive and no one at the beginning of the rise of the Nazis could have foreseen just how extreme their beliefs and actions would become.

It all started when the rise of the Nazi Party came. It was under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, and founded in 1919, and the group was known fully as the National Socialist German Workers Party, or Nazi Party for short. As time move on, it went on to be much more than a meeting, but into a mass movement. The movement itself was Anti-Semitism. It dealt with much turmoil with the Treaty of Versailles, which had helped put an end to the first World War. Once Hitler was given power over Germany, he began to persuade the people against the Treaty. In 1929, Germany was in a state of economic depression, and had much unemployment problems for its people. The unemployment rate had started to increase without any way of controlling it, but once Nazi power hit, it had sworn in most of its members, this lead them to get 230 out of the 608 seats, which is located in Reichstag. January 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor, and quickly banned other parties but the Nazi Party. This made him start to think of ways to eliminate the competition and he created the first concentration camp for political prisoners in Dachau, Germany, in hopes of controlling his power.

The Nazi Party, also known as the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, was a mass movement under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. This movement ruled Germany between 1933 and 1945, and promoted German pride and anti-Semitism throughout the German Nation. The group was founded in 1919 and clearly expressed their resentment and anger towards the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Because of the treaty, the Germans had to take full responsibility for the war, as well as pay reparations, their army was minimised and they lost a tenth of their territory, and the Germans believed that the treaty was an attempt to ruin their economy. The Weimar Republic, which was the democratic government founded in Germany, was suffering by violent uprising and economic difficulties. The treaty was one of the main motives of the Nazi Party, as well as

In 1933 Adolf Hitler was chosen as Chancellor of Germany by president Paul von Hindenburg. With this, the Nazi party came to power. Originally called the National Socialist German Workers party (Nazi for short), the Nazi party emphasized how Laissez-faire capitalism, economic liberalism, and democracy failed in government. The National Socialists stressed the importance of the impeccability of the German race. Although they had very determined ideas, The Nazi party began as a relatively small group in 1918. But coming into the 1930’s this was not the case. The widespread use of propaganda and radio broadcasting were instrumental to the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party.

The Nazi party became more aggressive towards the Jews living in Germany. Their property was destroyed including their shops, houses and the year stars which were painted on their windows and door fronts. At the time Rudy and Liesel were needed to join the Hitler Youth and the Band of German Girls. When it came to celebrating the Fuhrer's birthday, Most of the people in Molching came together for a bonfire. In the course of the event, they burnt what they believed were enemy propaganda including books. During the event Liesel noticed a book which had survived fire and hide it. After a while Liesel began to notice that it has no one also but Hitler who was responsible for the absence of her mother and the death

From 1933 to 1945, Germany was under the leadership of Adolf Hitler and the Nationalist Socialist German Party, or Nazi Party. The group promoted German pride and Anti-Semitism, hate towards Jews, and expressed disgust towards the Treaty of Versailles, a peace document signed between Germany and the Allies at the end of World War 1 (History.com Staff). In order to grow his movement, Hitler recruited Germans for his armies, his factory workers, and his death camp guards. Because of this, it was easy to assume that all Germans supported the Nazi dictatorship and the ideas they preached. However, throughout this time period many Germans of different political and religious beliefs came together to protest against the regime.

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.
