The Nazi Party And The Nazis

The root and future of your society is the youth. To have them follow you is to have definite power in the future. Hitler seems to have been aware of this when molding his perfect community, therefore he did many things to have his ideology accepted by

When Hitler became Chancellor of Nazi Germany, in 1935, he proposed many changes in education and throughout the country. He believed that these changes would influence people and indigenise them of his beliefs and reforms that should happen in the country – to praise his glory and make Germany the most powerful country and its rule to continue forever. One of these integral changes was education. Hitler strongly believed that, younger minds were easier to infiltrate and indoctrinate, as they were developing and imposed this sudden change amongst schoolchildren to provoke stronger Nazism in the future generation of Germans. Older generations, could oppose and have

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

The education of the children was key in perpetuating the beliefs of the Nazis and the Party. In Nazi Germany, children were taught to relish bloodshed and violence and to hate Jews ("Modern World History: Nazi Germany"), and the Party used this technique as well (Orwell 23). If children were taught to delight in bloodshed, they would be more accepting of violence aimed at a particular group; the children would not protest against this violence because of their morals or values. Instead, they would go beyond accepting the violence to cheering on the violence and enjoying it immensely.

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

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 people of Germany were forced to look up to Hitler and to strive for the Aryan Race. Hitler was idolized and thought of as a hero or savior. They were brain-washed into thinking they were the best of the best and that all other races were not. They were taught what to do, what to think and to point out behavior out of the Nazi-idealism. The young men of Germany were made into Nazi soldiers and leaders. “Hitler realised that by controlling the youth of today he would completely control the future Nazi people.”(marked by teachers

The Nazi Party of Germany aimed to create a ‘racially pure’ society between the years 1933 through to 1945. This society, or Volksgemeinschaft, was to contain Hitler’s ideological view on what a pure person, or Aryan should be. It also involved the exclusion of anyone who did not fit this mould. The Nazi party was extremely successful in achieving their highly aimed goal. Through the Nazi’s control over youth groups and in children’s education, the Nazi Party and Hitler were able to reach this goal in the years 1933 to 1939, and this continued through World War Two till the end of 1945. The Nazi Party convinced children about their ideologies and by doing so paved a path for the new generation to be followers of the Third Reich. Not everyone supported the Nazi regime, but overall it was accepted by society, and the youth groups helped the Nazi party form their ideal society leading up to and during the war. When Hitler became Chancellor and passed the Enabling Act in 1933, it allowed the Nazi Party to have control over Germany. The controlling of the education system allowed the Nazi’s to implement their beliefs and ideas in subjects. The Hitler Youth organisations were a way for the Nazi party to groom future supporters and members of the Nazi party. This included future SS members and the future perfect Aryan Nazi family. The policies they implemented in the schools and youth groups were what ultimately helped the Nazi party be successful in forming their idealistic

Under the power of Adolf Hitler, Nazism ruled Germany from 1933 through 1945. In 1919, Adolf Hitler joined the German Workers Power, which was founded by Karl Harrer and Anton Drexler (“Nazi Party”). The party though that the Treaty of Versailles which ended World War I was unfair to Germany and felt they were given jobs that could not be paid. Hitler then became a very famous leader by blaming the Marxists and Jews for the economic problems that Germany faced after the war. In 1921, Adolf Hitler gained power of the Nationalist Socialist German Workers, also known as the Nazi Party (“Nazi Party”). In 1923, Hitler led a failed attempt to take over the government in Bavaria. He was sent to prison for treason and was sentenced five years, but only served one (“Nazi Party”). In 1921, the Nazi Party gained more power every day because they blamed the current ruling government for the country’s huge economic depression.

History was a study lesson on how the Jews tried to "undermine the great achievements of the Germans". In the eugenics class this idea was backed up by models which showed that, like in nature, a germ can harm your whole body, so in Germany the Jews could damage the whole country. In schools, all teachers were part of the Nazi Party and textbooks were rewritten to pass on the Nazi message. In mathematics boys learnt how to work the trajectory of missiles and girls were being taught to look after their families and to bring up children. Only boys studied science, foreign languages and mathematics as separate subjects.

Hitler’s rise to power in Germany took more than his inspirational speeches and brute strength. The Nazi Party embraced the use of a powerful weapon and used it carefully to win over the minds of the German Population: Propaganda. They convinced a substantial portion of the German population that they were the superior race and that the Jews were the cause of their destruction. To discover how this was done, one must explore the intricate tactics used by Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda. The main goal was to institute the value of Volksgemeinschaft, or people’s community, into the German culture. He made sure that the Nazi philosophy was infused into all cultural mediums, making it practically impossible to

This Jewish girl was one of the many orphaned during the Holocaust, forcing her to live on the streets of the ghetto amongst the filth and grime. She lies on the street, holding her sister who is dying of starvation and disease. Many walk past and neglect to help the girl; for fear that they will draw unnecessary attention to themselves and attract the Jewish Ghetto police. This picture only illustrates the suffering of two girls, but acts as a representation of the many millions of Jews that were discriminated against and murdered during the Holocaust since the Nazi Party’s rise to dictatorship in Germany in 1933.

To begin with, ideological considerations alone do not explain the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, an even less do they clarify the methods and terrors involved in the Final Solution. The Holocaust is viewed against the historical backdrop of European anti-Semitism in earlier centuries, which fed immoral racism that we associate with the German Third Reich. This essay explores the economic, social, political and cultural differences that characterised the rise of extremist parties, such as the Nazis. Such political groups flourished in times of turmoil and extreme dissatisfaction, but it is important to remember that the Nazi Party was more effective than others in appealing to the discontented and in capturing popular support. Much of the Nazi warfare success was due to the leadership of the Austrian provincial, Adolf Hitler, who was convinced of his own greatness. The key aspect of the Holocaust is identified to illustrate an understanding of Nazi racial ideals and the emergence of Hitler’s personal plan according to German culture.

The Nazi youth played a large part in the racial state and World War II. Hitler took to extreme lengths to mobilize this particular part of the population. The Nazi youth as well as the rest of the “pure” German population felt that the country was in need of a restoring to national prominence. This restoration of German pride and unity was called “Volksgemeinschaft”. Some techniques that Hitler used to restore this pride and to mobilize the youth are common practice amongst politicians but some are more cruel and illogical. These techniques include adjusting his appearance specifically to his audiences, pervading a responsibility to the German youth that they must serve their country, and finally through harassment by the Gestapo and other members of the Nazi party and youth. All of these techniques were used in order to reach an ultimate end goal, however.

Brainwashing and creating a false sense of hope was a major key in the reason why the Hitler Youth was such a successful movement. Hitler’s claims of reasons for joining his organization of youth was that the children would become “masters of a new world order”, create a better and stronger Germany while supporting nationalism, and prosper as Nazis (Epstein 73). These children were brainwashed to believe that by joining they were individually contributing to the cause, “but just as the times themselves were uncreative and without a style of their own, so the youth movement itself had no ideas of it’s own” (Rudiger in Moeller, 84). All young boys wore brown shorts and shirts, brown shoes, brown caps, leather belts and black kerchiefs shortly after enrolling to immediately strip them of their individuality. Girls wore long blue skirts, white shirts, and their hair in braids or rolls (Maschmann 74). Hitler brainwashed children in ways other than attacking them as individuals. He created
