Nazi Party

Men may hate us. But, we don’t ask for their love; only for their fear,” Heinrich Himmler, leader of the Waffen-SS and prominent member of the Nazi Party. The Nazi Party was founded after WWI by veterans and revolutionaries hoping to see a change in their countries’ civilian-led government. Led by Adolf Hitler, the Nazi party became the only political party in Germany from 1933-1945 using religious like nationalism, racism, and taking advantage of a loss of hope felt by the German people during…

usage of mass media and propaganda by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. Germany was ruled by a dictatorship under the control of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, under Hitler's instruction, Germany was transformed into a totalitarian state in which the Nazi Party controlled nearly all aspects of life. Nazi propaganda had a supreme director, Joseph Goebbels, and a supreme star, Adolf Hitler himself (O'Shaughnessy, 2009). Propaganda…

undemocratic, but unworkable in a time where no party other commanded such a mass movement. Rallying voters from other nationalist parties, the Nazis in 1930 took half of the DNVP’s seats and a third of the DVP’s. It signified unity and support behind a cause – unseen since the beginning of the Great War. No longer were nationalists vying for the implausible return of a Kaiser, but joining behind Hitler.Furthermore Nazi support far exceeded that of the parties on the fragmented Left. Whilst in…

What prompted millions of Germans to join the Nazi party? An extremist party described as “[It] gave new meaning to the human capacity for evil and whose contributions to the new 20th century included genocide, massive physical destruction, racial and religious bigotry of the Nazi constituency.” (xi Brustein) How did Germany arrive at that point?

Bavaud planned to follow Hitler around Germany with a…

When Hitler joined the Nazi Party, he felt that the leadership was divided and ineffective, paving the perfect path for him to take over. While there were many in the party who disapproved of his personal ambition, most recognized his abilities to generate public attention for the party; therefore, when Hitler threatened to resign in 1921, the other members decided to grant him overall leadership because they knew they…

wondered why the german people were so willing to join the Nazi party. They were killing off the Jewish population and taking over countries. Was this really that appealing to the german people? Then I learned a small part of the game the Nazi party was using in order to convince the german people. The german leaders used propaganda, terror, and the german people’s suffering to convince them to join the Nazi party. In order for the german Nazi leaders to convince the german people that they were…

for a more authoritarian direction, one that they found in Hitler and his National Socialist Party. From 1929 to the early 1930’s, Germans experienced the terrible economic and social effects of the Great Depression, during this time the people lost trust in their government. Adolf Hitler took advantage of this opportunity, and while public discontent was soaring Hitler rose to power, with the Nazi Party winning majority membership in the Reichstag. Hitler became Germany's saviour, his…

got the Nazis to a powerful position in the Reichstag, however when the economic depression declined the amount of votes that the Nazis obtained also decreased in the Reichstag elections. Therefore the economic depression did not make Adolf Hitler Chancellor but other main factors including the oratory skills of Hitler, the propaganda campaign of Goebbels and the fact that Hindenburg and Von Papen thought that they could control Hitler once he was Chancellor. The smaller extreme parties also…
