Hitler’s Rise to Power Hitler was the intelligent son. He knew his way around, knew the people he should become close to and what he had to do to become close to them. One thing Hitler did was he started to establish the Nazi party while Hindenburg was still in office. He knew that he needed to get a head start if he was going to make this work. To his advantage Germany lost the war. This made the support of Hindenburg drop dramatically. Hitler fought in the war but as a very low rank. His regiment only trained for less than two months before seeing their first battle field. Hitler escaped death multiple times, more than anyone else. He was awarded two Iron Crosses for bravery.

Basically Hitler was in charge of the press and propaganda. He was told to keep track of the German Workers Party.

Not many people read the book, but for the ones who did it greatly inspired them. Stage 5: German Referendum, 1929. German nationalists wanted Germany to continue paying for its faults in the war.
