Rise Of Hitler.

Question: Rise Of Hitler Hitler was a very good public speaker, which inspire many supporters. We wrote the party first political statement, the twenty-five points programs, some of the points were doing away with Versailles Treaty, expanding Germany to include more land and people, setting up a powerful central government and taking Germans' citizenship away from the Jews. All of the above, were enough to achieve people supports for him especially the businessman as they were worried that they will end up like the upper class in Russia. Weimar Republic was a democratic government, so people were so used to a strong government but not a democratic one. Many people blamed the Weimar Republic for signing the armistice to end World War I, so Weimar Republic was associated with failure right from the start. When they accepted the Versailles treaty, the public opinion became very low. In the government, no party got an overall majority and government was made up of coalition government. Weimar Republic was a weak government so it gave a chance for Hitler to rise up in Germany. Furthermore, Weimar Republic had many determined enemies instead of supporters. People felt betrayed of the war effort and many put the blame on Weimar Republic causing unpopularity In Germany. There were many attempts to overthrow the republic. For example, the most famous one was led by Hitler, though

Hitler before 1929.

Hitler before 1929 Hitler was born in 1889 in Austria. He disliked his father, but adored his mother. His father died when he was 14 and his mother, 18. He was a failure at school and when his mother died, moved to Vienna to become an artist. During his time in Vienna he picked up many of the political ideas which later shaped the politics of the Nazi Party. IN particular he developed the violent hatred of Jews (Anti - Semitism). When WW1 broke out, 1914, Hitler had moved to Munich and joined the army. His officers noticed what a good speaker he was. He was given the job of countering enemy propaganda whenever leaflets were showered on German trenches. In 1918 he was badly gassed and was in hospital when the armistice and the German revolution took place in November 1918. He was extremely bitter about Germany's defeat. Like many other soldiers he blamed their defeat on Communists and Jews who he felt 'stabbed them in the back'. After the war he remained in Munich and stayed in the army. His job was to run political education for the army. In September 1919 Hitler was sent by the army to a meeting of small, extreme nationalist group called the German Workers' Party. It had only 6 members and his first impression was not at all favorable. However, Hitler also found he agreed with many of the group's ideas. Only weeks later he himself became a member. The leader of the party

The Hitler Youth.

The Hitler Youth The Nazis wanted all youths to join a group called the Hitler youth. Many children thought this to be a the best thing that could happen as it was free and was very useful towards them; other has better things to do with their time. The children who did not like or appreciate the idea of the Hitler youth came to make their own groups or clubs. The Nazis succeeded in killing off other official youth organizations, such as those, which had once been attached to the SPD. In the late 1930's, and during the period of the Second World War, several new youth groups developed in Germany. Their members were rebellious and behaved in ways, which the Nazi officials saw as a real threat. The main groups were the Navajos Gang, the Kittelbach Pirates and the Edelweiss Pirates. These groups were dead set against the Hitler youth. Their main activity was to ambush and beat up Hitler Youth patrols. The Nazi authorities were not too anxious to publicize this and therefore needed to be sorted out. The only real way of destroying these gangs, were to kill them. The Gestapo made examples of gang members by hanging them in public. The SS also were known to execute and arrest some of the opposition. Many of Germans youth opposed Hitler's idea because they didn't agree with it. It took the fun out of life for them and therefore opposed the Nazis and made their own way of life. They

Rise of Hitler.

GCSE History Revision notes: Rise of Hitler Origins of the Nazi Party The Nazi Party was formed in January 1919 by Anton Drexler. Originally it was named the German Workers Party (DAP). Hitler joined in Autumn of 1919. He quickly rose to become the leader of the party. The party was transformed by Hitler and became a political party rather than the discussion group that it had been when he joined. The SA (Brownshirts) was formed to protect Hitler and other party leaders at meetings. It also disrupted the meetings of the Nazi's political opponents. Appeal of the Nazi Party The military uniform of the SA appealed to many former soldiers. The aggressive berating of the Weimar leadership for signing the treaty of Versailles appealed to the disaffected and to former soldiers. Use of force and the parties strict discipline appealed to those who longed for a return to the old, militaristic rule that had preceded the First World War. Munich Putsch The party attempted to take control of the government by force. This failed as the Nazi's did not enjoy widespread support at the time. The government was capable of controlling the armed forces and police. Hitler was imprisoned as a result of the Putsch (Uprising). In Prison Hitler thought about the methods he had used to try and take control. He realised that the Nazi's would need to use legitimate, electoral means to assume power

The littlest Hitler

The littlest Hitler To see how far you can go and to try out limits can be fun. Just not when you take it too far. Children do not always know the consequences of their actions, but life among children can be fun. Just not when bullying is a theme and the power of popularity enters into it. In this short story, the main character is a boy called Davy. The story is written with first-person narration, and we follow Davy's point of view. He is an unspoiled and innocent child, who goes to a public school in 4th grade. He is naive and lives alone with his dad. Davy does not like conflicts and especially not to cause them. When he goes into the school bus in his Hitler costume, all the trouble starts, and he feels guilty about it. He is a sensitive boy, and as he says, it did not take long for Lisette's friends to make him cry. He is also thoughtful, which we see on the bus, when he notices, that there is not a single Jewish person on it. It also shows that he does not want to hurt anybody. At home at the end, he thinks about throwing all his candy into the fire, but again he is thoughtful and remembers the rule, and anyway he would not want to through an entire Snickers bar away. He fells sad for Hannah and Mike Friedlander, because they are not aloud to go trick or treat as he. He is very sympathetic and wants to give them his whole bag of candy. In spite of all this being

Hitler and Rohm conflict

Essay on Hitler and Rohm coming to conflict. In this Essay I will be discussing of Hitler and Rohm coming to conflict and how the two came to a point from two powerful men who helped each other to power, to two men who saw each other as threats for power, as it was clear that both fought for power and that at some point one of the two would plot to stop one another from getting to power. As Rohm showed signs with the SA to take Hitler's power and with Rohm not agreeing to Hitler's terms it was likely that the two would have conflicted. First of all we learn that as Rohm was in charge of the SA he wanted to join the SA with the normal army, which suggested to Hitler that the merging of the two armies could possibly make Rohm the most powerful man in Germany. Hitler would have done whatever he wanted in order to keep his power, as this was very important to him, so there would be no surprise if Hitler arrested or killed a threat to his power such as Rohm even though Rohm helped him to power and was good friends with Hitler. Moving on Rohm also saw Hitler as someone that got in his way for power as shown in source five, as he is publicly declaring in a newspaper article his feelings about Hitler. He also called Hitler a "swine" or a selfish person that did not want anyone to take over him in power and that Hitler was not Rohm the chance to take over his power even though Rohm

hitler and the holocaust

INTRODUCTION Adolf Hitler, (1889-1945), was a German political and military leader and one of the 20th century's most powerful dictators. Hitler changed Germany into a fully militarized society and launched World War II in 1939. He made anti-Semitism a keystone of his propaganda and policies and built the Nazi Party into a mass movement. He hoped to conquer the entire world, and for a time dominated most of Europe and much of North Africa. He instituted sterilization and euthanasia measures to enforce his idea of racial purity among German people and caused the slaughter of millions of Jews, Sinti and Roma (Gypsies), Slavic peoples, and many others, all of whom he considered inferior. THE RISE OF HITLER -Early Days- Adolf Hitler was born in 1889. His father was a customs officer. In his childhood days, Hitler disliked his father quite a lot, as they strongly differed about career plans, giving Hitler no options of what to do in life and the respect of love. His father wanted him to work hard and get a good job, so he would have future, like him. Adolf was quite clever in school, but then, after being sent to another school, which was approved by his father, he distorted himself. He became lazy and often got into trouble because he did not do his work. He wanted to be an artist, as he was very good at art, but his father did not approve of it. But, anyway, Hitler still
