Most Socialist leaders were Jews so he felt that the two had something to do with each other, which made him dislike both the Jews and Socialists. In May 1919, the German Army overthrew the Socialist Republic. Hitler being one of the people fighting, was arrested, held and accused of being a Socialist. To prove that he was not a Socialist, he agreed that he would help find Socialist soldiers to be executed. Through this experience he became a Political Officer. For this position, his main duty was to educate and lecture the soldiers on current politics. Hitler had a very large audience of people listening to him which was something completely new for him. Based on Hitler’s public speaking talent, he was asked to join a party called the German Worker’s Party by Anton Drexler. This party had Anti-Semitic views and a strong sense of German Nationalism which made it easy for Hitler to fall into the group. Shortly after joining the group, Hitler was named as the Propaganda Manager. Many people joined the group as a result of hearing Hitler’s public speeches. The GWP was later nicknamed the Nazi Party. When this nickname took place, Hitler became the new leader. Hitler took both the Nazi Party and Germany to many new levels. He became a dictator soon after gaining control of the Nazi Party. Just as before, he targeted the Jewish community. Hitler was the main person in charge of the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, millions of Jewish people were
Like Mussolini, Hitler had a hard life. After fighting in WWI he joined the German Workers Party, a socialist but anti-Marxist organization which favored nationalism and anti-Semitism. Hitler because a skilled speaker here. Leading a rebellion to take over, Hitler was caught and imprisoned. There he wrote Mein Kampf which detailed his policy of terror.
After World War I, Adolf Hitler was one of the dictators that arose; which then gained power in Germany in its Great Depression. Hitler rose to power using techniques such as propaganda, censorship, charisma and terror, but that was not all he did. Hitler started his own fascist party in Germany and called it the Nazi Party. Later, Hitler developed anti-semitism, or prejudice against Jews and dehumanized them. He viewed Jews as a separate race not a religion. This caused many changes particularly to the Jews. During World War I the Nazi’s treatment of the Jews caused political, economic, and social changes.
Adolf Hitler. When a person hears his name, not many good things will come to their head. However Hitler did possess one amazing quality that led to him be one of the most powerful men on earth: the ability to influence others through his rhetoric. Hitler used his speaking ability to take over a country in their time of need and lead them to infamy. The ways Hitler did this was by connecting with his audience, flamboyant motions, variation in pitch, using his charisma, and working his audience up before giving a speech.
After the otherwise embarrassing war, Hitler joined the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, most commonly known as the Nazi Party. His ability to manipulate the people by the means of charming them with
The Nazis came into power on the 30th of January, 1933. By that year Hitler had total control over the country. Hitler possessed a dominant presence and was able to get people to listen to him, he was very persuasive in making the Germans believe that the Jews were the problem of Germany. He vowed to use his skill in public speaking and his position in authority and gain political power the right way. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler believed that Jews were an inferior race, alien threat to German racial purity. Anti- Semites such like Hitler believed that the reason for their country’s loss in 1918 were the Jews. Many Jews were killed during the Holocaust, the Nazis tried to keep this operation a secret but was made virtually impossible due to the amount of
Before becoming Chancellor of Germany, Hitler joined the Nazi Party. In 1920, with the help of Hitler, the German Worker’s Party was constructed. In the agreement, it stated, “No Jew, therefore, may be a member of the Nation” (“Nazi Racism”). Because Hitler spread his beliefs of racial purity very forcefully, he ended up in prison.
Hitler started off as a soldier in World War 1 and stayed in the army working as a V-Man, his job was to go to political organizations and find out who were socialists and who were communists. Hitler during on of his visits went to the German Worker’s Party because it sounded like it would be a socialist party but Hitler found out they shared the same beliefs as him and joined. The party eventually changed their name to the National Socialist German Worker’s Party and was overrun by Nazis.
Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party and was the main oppressor of the Holocaust. Hitler became Germany’s Führer in 1921. After a ban on Nazis was lifted in 1925, the popularity of the Nazi Party skyrocketed in hopes of governmental development. Hitler believed that if he himself died, then all of Germany should be destroyed. The Führer ended his own life in 1945 (Wistrich).
In 1919 he had become the leader of that party and tried to overthrow the government that was in place at the time. This treason was the reason he had landed in prison for many years, in which time he created his autobiography which was called (My Struggle). He was released in 1924 and was starting to regain his popularity in Germany going after the treaty of Versailles and he also had started to promote the anti-communism with Nazi propaganda. As time had passed Hitler had started to become more and more popular with the people which intern helped his influence in the government grow and allowed him to give that extra push on being able to demolish communism. This also had given him and his party that he created the chance to become more powerful and greater political pull. This is the reason why they many propaganda against their opposing political parties who they had referred to as “the weak Weimar government and the Jews whom the Nazis blamed for Germany 's ills.” From this phrase you can tell how they think that anyone that does not flow their politics is no better than the Jews; who they think of as inferior, and see them as the problem to all the wrongs that happen to Germany. This is when the Nazi started using propaganda as an assault against the Jews. The most major propaganda tool that they used was the “weekly Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer (The Attacker)” Every week the
The organization Hitler was a member of was popularly known as the Nazi Party. Originally was a small group of people under the name of German workers party. Adolf Hitler attended the meetings and joined it in 1919. Soon after he became leader of the party and changed the name to National Socialist German Workers Party. Hitler increased the Nazi party’s political power steadily. Then in 1933 Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany. (3)
Hitler learned to hate jews with a passion, he saw them as a threat, he said they were the cause of everything. He didn’t just wanna just get rid of jews but also homosexuals, Roma and Sinti and the handicapped. His idea was to get rid of them all. Hitler was the cause of 6 million deaths getting rid of them was his idea of a perfect society. By Hitler doing this made people not feel safe, some hid from the Nazi’s.
Hitler and his parties rise to power were not as swift and decisive as many people think it to have been. Hitler’s political career started as a spy in a Munich Beer hall. According to “The Rise of Adolf Hitler” , Hitler went to a meeting in a beer hall in Munich thinking he was going to stamp out a communist uprising he actually ended up being persuaded to join the group after and outburst impressed several members( Hitler Joins German Workers Party). Although unimpressed by its disorganized and small workings, Hitler saw the party as something that could become a movement and agreed with there doctrine(Hitler Joins German Workers Party). After making many changes the party and its meetings grew in size. In 1921 Hitler was named the leader of the Nazi party. However this and the 55,000 members of the party were not enough. In 1923 on the cusp of a terrible inflation and mass hatred for the government Hitler planned a putsch to overthrow the new government and mimic Mussolini’s march on Rome(The Beer Hall Putch). It failed miserably and Hitler was imprisoned. In prison is when he wrote Mein Kampf. After serving 9 months of a 5 year sentence Hitler was released from prison with the goal of not making the same mistakes. He publicly stated that the only way the Nazis would seek power would be through the system(A New Begging). This would earn him much support and as future elections would ensue the Nazis soon gained a large seat in
Hitler had shown unwillingness to tolerate the Jews and once he was appointed Chancellor, he started to take elimination measures like deportation, forced emigration, and isolation to enforce his belief. He took advantage of Germany’s weakness in World War One, then used it as an opportunity to blame the Jews for Germany’s defeat. Hitler’s political party was the largest political party in Germany thus allowing them to draw very large crowds to gatherings. He had very good oratory speeches with hand gestures that easily manipulated people to adhere to his views. Hitler constantly targeted the Jews because he knew people believed in these speeches. People in Germany were already anti-semitic but Hitler made it worse by constantly consuming them in his speeches. From the way he spoke about the Jews, we could clearly see the possibility of genocide. Hitler wanted Germany to be free of any humans that anyone other than his ideal master race so he personally selected bodyguards to be part of a group called the SS. Hitler was responsible for ordering the SS to carry out the extermination of anyone who did not fit this ideal. The SS handled oppositions using force and as a result of which people were forced to give into the idea of violence. Sometimes people purposely went along with this Holocaust ideal due to the fear of getting killed. These terrors allowed the holocaust occur
Adolph Hitler became head of Germany’s National Socialists Party in July of 1921. By 1933 the once unknown Hitler was given dictatorial power. As his power grew the new dictator grew more restrictive and power hungry. Books were burned, Jewish-owned businesses were boycotted, the Nazi Party was made the only party, and concentration camps were opened, all in the first year of Hitler’s
After World War 1, Hitler joined a new extreme right wing party, the National Socialist German Workers Party(NSDAP), soon after he became the leader because of how he could inspire people with his powerful speeches. Hitler had a strong hatred for Jews, and he decided to put the blame of Germany's defeat in war towards the Jews. “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it” (Hitler). He claimed that Jews were not only responsible for the unfair German defeat but were also hindering Germany’s recovery. His hatred towards the Jews was derived from many previous events.
