The Rise And Fall Of Hitler 's Nazi Party

especially noted when he earned the First Class Iron Cross, the highest military honor a German

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

During the hardship of the 1920s and1930s, political incompetence was highlighted, the Weimar Government proved its incompetence time and time again. .The instability of the Weimar Republic was so great that the average life-span of Reich cabinets was from 6-7 months. Their incapability of providing justice to outbreaks of violence, such as political assassinations is one example of the incompetence of the Weimar Republic. When Germany found its self in undesirable economical situations due to the Treaty of Versalles, they printed money to pay off reparations, which resulted in super-inflation. During the period of super-inflation people’s life savings became worthless which contributed to the downward circle of a reduction in standard of living. As unemployment rose and people began to afford less and less with their money, people commenced searching for a better alternative to the Weimar Government. Hitler’s ability to build upon these feelings whilst offering security, prosperity and full employment, convinced Germany, in a state of disillusionment, to support the nazi party. The Weimar’s instability contributed to the collapse of the Weimar republic provided perfect conditions for the nazi party to rise to power.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich was a summary of Adolf’s journey from his boyhood to his final decision to end his life. Shirer successfully made his case as he laid down many points that proved the foolishness of the German citizen in becoming aroused by Hitler’s power and not reacting to stop him from getting any more powerful. The point of view must be addressed. Based on the author’s choice of words and writing, it was clear that he had found Hitler distasteful as he uses the words restless, bitter, demonic, and ruthless to describe the Fuhrer throughout the book. Therefore the writings in the book could have been influenced by the fact that he lived and worked in the Third Reich and witnessed Adolf Hitler’s rise of power first hand. The audience of the book, based on the difficulty of reading and the content, should be for young adults and older, historians, and for anyone interested in this topic. The book could be used for further research into this subject or simply for the pleasure of new information that have never been seen before in other famous Holocaust stories such as The Diary of Anne Frank. This book will definitely stimulate further conversation among historians and history lovers and historiography on this subject as the author’s thesis is quite controversial. Overall, I have liked the thoroughness of this book and all the interesting insights in which I have never come upon with other books talking about the Third Reich, I don’t recommend taking this

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.

Upon the rise of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party (the Nazi Party) in Germany, homosexuals, were one of the various groups targeted by the Nazis and were ultimately among the Holocaust victims. Commencing in the early rule of Hitler, homosexual organizations were expelled, scholarly books about homosexuality, and sexuality in general, were destroyed, and homosexuals within the Nazi Party itself were detained or executed. The Gestapo assembled lists of homosexuals in Germany, who were obliged to sexually obey or conform to the "German norm or expectations." This is evident in direct reference to the memoirs of Pierre Seel and the atrocious suffering he endured due to his sexuality in Nazi Germany. “I, Pierre Seel, Deported Homosexual: A Memoir of Nazi Terror” provides historians with an insight into the Nazi regime and the miseries endured by the minorities of that time. This response will consider the context, content and importance of these texts, as well as the difficulties that it poses as a primary source to historians.

World War 1 left Germany with a damaged economy, a leaderless country and people’s savings had dwindled. The central government was very weak and the people of Germany were desperate for some economic relief. The morale of Germany was low and the people needed something to be proud of. Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) seemed like an answer to their economic troubles and low morale. Hitler convinced the Germans that the jews had benefited from the war and were economically more successful than the starving Germans. He convinced them they were a master race and they had been betrayed by the Jews and the Communists. Hitler organized the military, he used propaganda, and he presented the Jews as the problem

The result of the November pogroms was that many Jews looked to emigrate from Germany to a safer, less racial prejudicial country. Jews now believed that they either had to emigrate or face certain death. As Jews attempted to immigrate to other countries, this sparked a world controversy of what to do about Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany. Many countries still refused to accept substantial number of Jews , which led to a world convention to discuss the negotiation with Nazi Germany to find places for Jews to live. This world controversy of what was happening in Germany caused Hitler to give a speech on January 30 1939. In this speech, Hitler spoke to the Reichstag about his foreign policy and the Jewish question. During the speech he

When The First World War finally ended on November 11th 1918; Germany were labelled the losers. It was a terrible time however it was very good for extremist parties as people living extreme conditions are more likely to listen to extreme ideas. The Nazi’s were extremes with their leader Adolf Hitler. Hitler's rise to power can’t be pin pointed down to one event but many including; Germany’s economic state, the main factor, that Hitler was a charismatic man and The Treaty of Versailles. Hitler used all these factors to his advantage which meant finally in 1933 he become Chancellor.

The Weimar Constitution was a genuine attempt to create a perfect democratic country. In his book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (1960), American historian William L. Shirer described the Weimar Constitution as "on paper, the most liberal and democratic document of its kind the twentieth century had ever seen ... full of ingenious and admirable devices which seemed to guarantee the working of an almost flawless democracy.” The constitution guaranteed equal rights to the German people, yet also contained the fundamental structural flaws that would play a major part in the Republic 's downfall (and thus the Nazi Party’s rise). Two clear examples of such weaknesses were the use of an excessively proportional electoral system and the

The Holocaust is one of the most famous events in history because of how large scale the destruction was. Over a course of twelve years, Hitler and the Nazi party developed a comprehensive solution to the Jewish problem. Through a series of three solutions, Hitler and his party sought to eliminate European Jewry. Through a series of calculated actions over a decade, Hitler used political, situational, and physical violence to break down the European Jewry. In order for Hitler to win his war against the Jews, he had to break down the autonomy of the group into docile individuals where no collective could fight back. Many people who do not understand the history of the Holocaust often ask why did nobody fight back? Why was there no resistance to what was happening? Though it is absent from mainstream textbooks, the European Jewry did put up a resistance to Hitler’s war. European Jews fought back against Hitler and the Nazi party in ways that corresponded to each phase of Hitler’s Solution to the Jews. Throughout these three phases, European Jewry responded to the conditions created by the Nazi party through individual responses, organizational responses, and armed responses. Each response exhibited by European Jews is completely dependent on the social atmosphere and legal practices of the specific situation.

In the early years when the party was called the DAP no one would have thought it would become any major driving force but only a short lived Stammtisch creation. When there greatest gem in the form of Hitler resigned and was put in jail it looked bleak for the now new NSDAP. When he was released the party was in shambles, there were divisions among the party itself and membership was on the decline and Germany found itself in political and economic calm.

How can a lowly Austrian man, born a peasant, rise to become a dictator in a mere 33 years? Adolf Hitler, the late chancellor of Germany, achieved such an accomplishment. Following Germany’s loss of the first World War, Hitler amassed power through blaming the country’s economic depression upon non-white “Aryan” peoples. Consequently, under Hitler or Der Fuhrer, German society changed drastically. The country changed, for both better and for worse, economically, socially, and politically under the tryinal reign of Adolf Hitler.

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

One way that they are represented within many is how virtually all authority figures are always in a tug-of war, from beginning to end. An excellent example of this would be when Hans, a father and so thus an authority figure, fights with a social and potentially physical death. Soon after, Hans gave some bread to a Jew who is parading on a death walk; he, “[is] whipped on the street” (266). Now, while this whipping causes physical pain, it leads to a social death, it almost immediately causes him not to be accepted into the Nazi Party, thereby losing many valuable work opportunities. With fewer opportunities the less money goes into the family’s coffers, forcing them to use the dredges of the money that they have left from the better
