Hermann Göring

While I’m sure we can all agree that Adolf Hitler wasn’t the best human being ever, Hitler may have been one of the best leaders of the twentieth century. Born April 20th, 1889 and died April 30th, 1945, was an Austrian-born German politician who was a leader in the Nazi party, Germanys chancellor from 1933 to 1945 and Fuhrer of Nazi Germany from the year 1934 to 1945, (David 1998.) He can be attributed to be a good leader because of various reasons: He was a leader with visions; he was a strategist; he was a good orator; he had the interest of both his country and the citizens at hand; he was so convincing. Each of these attributes is explained below. A visionary leader Hitler was able to exploit the state of depression or recession and higher inflation rate that citizens of German were suffering under, (Keegan 1989). Being one of the conservative nationalist leaders that have existed, Hitler built a picture of prosperity to Germany as a nation by having an ample lebensraum, a living space to restore their national pride as a country and allow the whole society to grow perfectly, (Geoffrey 2000). This forced him to aim the living space which was coming from a Jewish controlled Russia, (Geoffrey 2000). He also had a mission of making his country a better place for all citizens, (Keegan 1989). What a leader, if he had visions for his country and people of which all were of good intention then it can be concluded that he was really a good leader. A leader with no visions does…

the year, since he failed his exams. Instead of repeating the year, he dropped out. When he was 18, Hitler moved to Vienna with the money he inherited after his father’s death in 1903. Hitler was going to use the money for a career in art, but his applications to Vienna Academy of Art and to the School of Architecture were denied. After this devastating news Hitler started to become interested in politics as a replacement. The anti-Semitic nationalist Christian-Socialist party really caught…

Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death, and Heinrich Himmler were the most infamous ones, as they had a major contribution to the Holocaust. One of the most feared men during the Holocaust, and especially in concentration camps, was Josef Mengele. Born on March 16, 1911, Mengele grew up and studied philosophy and medicine in college. He joined the Nazi party in 1938, and was sent to work at Auschwitz. Josef was the chief provider for the gas chambers and their crematoria. It was noted that…

focussed on decreasing dependence on other global superpowers by attempting autarky. The New Plan of September 1934 was introduced by Hjalmar Schacht a non-nazi who was president of the Reichsbank. The New Plan enforced government regulation on imports and the development of trade with less economically developed countries and countries in southeast Europe. This was very successful as it led to a series of trade agreements with in particular South American states that provided necessary raw…

the US 's system of preference (Linder, 2000). The adversarial system is a legal system used in the common law countries where two advocates represent their parties ' positions before an impartial person or group of people, usually a judge or jury, who attempt to determine the truth of the case (Adversary System, 2015). The way the Nazi officers were be charged, didn 't allow the defendants to use the defense of tu quoque and blame everything on their superior officers (Linder, 2000). The only…

In what ways, and with what success, did one authoritarian or single-party ruler deal with internal opposition? Existing internal political, military, social and economic opposition in Nazi german was dealt with by both legal and illegal means with varying degrees of success. Hitler’s exploitation of situations and use of violence allowed him to successfully destroy threats from other party’s as well as within the NSDAP as well as potential economic opponents. Violence as a method was mostly…

If a person was asked to illustrate a physical representation of stupidity they may form the shape of an upside-down cone and write in it, “Dunce.” Success has often been correlated with knowledge, but, measuring how much knowledge someone possesses is tricky. In Charles Dickens Victorian novel, Great Expectations, Pip starts off as a young “common” boy who yearns for a higher station in life. Also yearning, in Herman Hesse’s Interwar novel, Siddhartha, is Siddhartha who leads a nomadic life in…

Natural entities holistically substantialize an explicit secular imitation that is synonymous to the inner workings of the unfastened course of reality. These various actualizations impart guidance and externalize the innate channels that connect human psyches through a mirrored version of life. In the novel, Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, the ubiquitous river is a lucid encapsulation of the spiritual progression of the eponymous character, Siddhartha, while simultaneously providing a framework…

In the book Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, throughout the entire book Siddhartha is taking a journey to what he thinks would help him find enlightenment, peace, wisdom, and knowledge. Siddhartha is taking this journey because he is in denial of his Brahmin heritage, and the teachings of Gotama, which his father gave to him, he feels like there is nothing more Gotama teachings can offer him to reach enlightenment. Wisdom and knowledge are two of the most topics brought up in “SIddhartha By Hermann…

The Samanas are wandering ascetics who have given up every possession they own to find some type of enlightenment. The Samanas are organized beggars, who are barely clothed, and are perceived as holy men. While Siddhartha is with the Samanas his goal is to “to become empty, to become empty of thirst, desire, dreams, pleasure, and sorrow--- to let the self-die” (Hermann Hesse, 14). Although, Siddhartha did learn ways of losing the self with the Samanas, the self always came back. Siddhartha…
