To what extent did the survival of Nazi rule in Germany from 1933-39 depend on their solving Germany's economic problems?

Soon after Hitler was put in power he processed a domination over Germany called Gleichschaltung (co-ordination) a process designed to bring the nation under total Nazi rule and control. Under this process Hitler took control of the entire nation by; dismissing Jews and anti-Nazis from their posts in the civil service and courts,arresting priests and ministers and eradicating religion from being taught in schools.The only other thing that seemed to stand in his way of his aims was the other political parties. Having already dismissed the Communists, the Social Democrats dissolved,the German National People's Party became disbanded along with the Catholic Bavarian People's Party. Following these actions the remaining Parties of the Catholic Centre Party and the NSDAP folded and every member of the Reichstag was soon a Nazi. Within a couple of months the Nazis had turned the entire country into a one party nation. Hitler had layed all of his foundations for dictatorship. This process virtually guaranteed the Nazis would remain in power for the foreseable future.

The Nazi revolution completley destroyed democracy  and a number of people from the Nazi Party became more annoyed and started to make their issue of strong anti-captilast views known. Many of them expected the socialist aspects of the National Socialism to be implenmented, particularly in the SA(.......................................................................................). On hearing this Hitler seen that it would be best suited to dismiss this. So on the 30th of June 1934, otherwise known as 'The Knight Of The Long Knives'  the SS  were commanded by Hitler to round up anyone who associated with the SA and Hitler's other rising opponents were to be shot. Hitler proclaimed the slogan 'Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer' ( one people, one government, one leader) that night. Everyone in Germany became aware that the authority of Adolf Hitler was to be absolute and that everyone must obey him, otherwise face the wrath of the SS.

The SS began in 1925 as a personal guard for Hitler. When Himmler became commander in 1929 he ensured it was made an elite foce within the SA. It was strictly disciplined unlike the SA. In 1933 Himmler controlled the secret police in most of the German states and the Gestapo by 1934.  After the 'Knight Of The Long Knives' the SS became independent of the SA  and was made only answerable to Hitler or Himmler. They had the power to arrest whoever the two wished. This was known into frightening people into supporting Hitler's policies and Party.

With everything in place and no-one having the ability to speak out the Nazis continued to grow in stature and strength. Since Hitler and the Nazis aspired to take total control of society within Germany it was inevitable that the creation of its Youth Policies were crucial. Hitler was a smart indivdual and a great speaker however he always knew in his conscious that he would not win over the older generations, so, with the young being the future of the nation he would assure all youths would be brought up to be loyal to the Swastika ( Nazi badge). Young people were then told to attend Nazi Youth Organisations and that only. This would be the place were they would be brainwashed with Hitler's views and beliefs. Boys were told to attend Hitler Youth where total obedience to the Fuhrer will be stressed. Older girls had to join the League Of German Maidens in which they would be taught how to be good housewifes and learn Nazi in order to bear their children that way. Hitler had basically achieved his aims of creating an 'Ayrian Race' this being people who believed totally and entirelly in Nazi methods.

The chance to deal with the Jews was an appealing prosepect offered to Hitler via the Nurenburg Laws of 1935( Law for the Protection Of German Blood and Honour).  Persecution of Jews was not an original idea by Hitler as it was well known for happening in Russia, but Hitler did not mind as long as he got his way. As I have previously stated Hitler expelled many Jews in 1933 from their jobs, this being because Hitler, set in his ways, believed the Jews were the root of all of Germany's problems.  In 1935 he took away the Jews German citizenship and forbade them from marrying non-Jews particulary Germans. So on the 9th of November 1938 the SA, .................................................................................................,                                                              

were let loose to burn synagogues and wreck houses this was better known as Kristallnacht ( The Night Of Broken Glass). Worse was yet to come for the Jews. An awaited decision was made clear on 1939 when Hitler ordered that all Jews were to be put in concentration camps were they would do slaves work or be exterminated upon arrival if seen to be inadequate. Hitler's 'final solution' had murdered over 6 million Jews. By the end of 1939 Germany had become a totalaterian state which controlled many aspects of peoples lives. Hitler's methods became more brutal and ruthless throughout this period.

In conclusion, there are many reasons why the Nazi were able to stay in power in Germany between1933-39. Many Germans were easily convinced by the Nazis that there economic policy made Germany a stronger country once again.The use of propaganda proved to be important in brainwashing the people of Germany into believing that the Nazi policies were successfull. It is also very important to note that the entire nation did not benefit economically, especially the working class. The Nazis quickly changed Germany from a democracy to a autocracy by eliminating opposition within and outwith the Nazi Party. Many Germans seen the Nazi regime as a step forward as it was what the German people were used to under Bismarck and the Kaiser William. The policy of Gleichschaltung ensured that every place was dominated and controlled by Nazis. Fear and intimidation by the SS and the Nazi Storm Troopers ensured that Germany compiled with Nazi rule. Otherwise those individuals faced prosecution.The most sinister aspect of the Nazi regime was that it whole heartidly believed in the 'Ayrian Race' and that they were superior others of whom were not were simply executed.
