Hitler knew that all he needed to do to conquer Europe is take England, the only real power at the time. He knew also that they would join the war almost immediately. He didn’t want to divide his forces by fighting on two fronts so he aligned himself with Stalin and Russia to protect his back. Once he conquered the weaker European countries he planned on mobilizing against France and once he had taken that he would move on England. Finally his last real adversary in Europe was Russia, who he didn’t expect to hold out for very long. He then would have conquered all of Europe, and effectively the entire world.

To his enemies he showed no mercy and gave them no quarter. Since he had the complete loyalty of his troops there was really no threat from within, although his paranoia often kicked in and he felt the need to have a commanding officer shot.

The real loss to Hitler’s reign came in two parts. First his loss to the Allies came in Great Britain when his air force was decimated, giving the Allies the new advantage in the air, but he still have the most powerful army in the war. His second and probably most foolish loss was to the “weak” Soviets. He miscalculated terribly and sent his troops into Russia not realizing that they had a great advantage, the winter. Hitler’s men froze to death, food was scarce, and morale was low. After these events the war was not looking so good for the Germans, so Hitler did what he has always done best pass the blame. He blamed the Jewish people and foreigners for the loss and went after them with a renewed passion.

Smart people do dumb things. Napoleon did it as did Hitler. One miscalculation can holocaust concentration camps throw off the whole picture no matter how clear it is. History also does repeat itself. Like a caring mother, it keeps telling us things until we learn.

The Nazis were very modern with their use of the media in that they used radio, posters, and used planes to transport their message. These new methods appealed to people, as they hadn’t been used a lot before this. These also appealed especially to the youth because of the modern forums that the Nazi’s techniques were taking.

Germany is a big place with a lot of people, and a radical party, like the Nazis for example, needed the backing of the majority of the people. They did their best to reach and appeal to everyone of German blood.

The Nazis had a lot of things going for them. The economy was thriving, unemployment was almost nonexistent, and everyone was happy. Holocaust time What more do people want from a government, the Nazis had it all covered. People wanted the Nazis and that’s why they were so strong. The Nazis didn’t take the power from the people. The people gave it to them.

Through the depression Hitler just did what politicians do best. He told people what they wanted to hear. If you were a farmer, you were doing a great service to your country. If you were a worker, how marvelous your part in the shaping of Germany was, and the only thing standing between you and riches was the government. To the rich he promised more riches, to the hungry food, and so on.

He convinced the un-employed people that he could help them get jobs. The Jewish people are taking your jobs, he probably would have said. How can someone hungry and unemployed not want to believe him? For them he really couldn’t make things any worse. He played to people’s desires and when you tell something they want to believe, a lot of the time they do believe it.

No one really had economic reasons for following Hitler, the American stock market had collapsed, and he couldn’t do anything about it. It just happened. People just weren’t educated enough to realize that. They had been told all their lives to follow without question, and there has never been such a blind faith than people of this time had in Hitler.

Hitler is man that you have to respect, even if you do think he is evil. His ideas have shaped the world more than anyone before him. He could have done the holocaust timeline world a great service but instead he chose evil. What is it that makes evil so attractive, I think it’s the mirage of power that is has. People want what evil has to offer they simply don’t realize that that power is unattainable.

Now Hitler, there was a bad guy. I mean the if the Nazis were jerks then Hitler was the King of the Jerks. What person has ever had so much hate for a group? I think Hitler probably even convinced himself that he was in the right, but I’m sure deep down he knew he wasn’t, I mean he wasn’t stupid. Everyone knew that his ultimate goal wasn’t to bother the Jewish people, or make them feel bad. No, he wanted them dead, and if given the power, and opportunity, then he probably would have killed them all himself. When they arrested him they had many things to look at. Would he threaten the Government through a show of military power? Maybe, he hadn’t done so as of yet, but that doesn’t mean it was beyond him if it came down to it.

There are a few things that could happen if they kept Hitler in jail. Holocaust timeline His radical friends and colleagues could rebel and try to free Hitler from prison. Also if he is jail he could continue to aid the Nazis, even from the inside of a cell, telling them it’s the Jewish people fault he is in prison. No I think the only really good solution is public execution. What’s the worst that could happen? His closest friends might rebel, but not all of them as his death would be very disheartening. I think this would have been the best avenue for the Weimar Government to take.

Things here in Germany are growing worse by the day.  The Nazi’s hate propaganda, and meaningless acts of violence are horrifying, and what’s worse, their ranks are swelling steadily by the day.

Today I witnessed a speech by a man by the name of Hitler.  It was truly horrifying.  There were thousands of people congregating and so I decided I’d go see just what was happening.  As it turns out I had stumbled in on a Nazi rally, where the man I mentioned, Hitler, was going to speak.  At first it was fairly peaceful.  Hitler spoke some on his 25-point program.

The 25-point program is something Hitler is trying to implement in Germany, basically striping foreigners and Jewish people of many of their freedoms.  Saying that no person not of German blood can be considered a member of the state.  This accordingly takes away basic necessities.  For example things like food, in times of famine will not be given to foreigners or Jewish people.

After Hitler had finished this he grew a little more passionate when he got on the topic of the war.  He said it was a disgrace to Germany, and pinned the blame for the loss on the non-patriotic nature of the Jewish people.  He said had they fought along side of the Germans instead of aiding the enemy victory would have been inevitable.  I later asked around and no one could think of any Jewish people who had aided the enemy, the people I asked said they just knew the Jewish people did.

The roar of the mass of people grew almost deafening when Hitler began to scream about how the Jewish people hated the Germans and how they were all plotting behind the backs of the people of Germany.  He called on the people to try to “convince” the Jewish people to aid the land that they were being “allowed” to live in by any means necessary holocaust dates.  Everyone was yelling and screaming, chanting Hitler’s name over and over.  I felt quite fortunate to escape with my life.

Things in Germany grow worse by the day and if I had the money I would return home immediately.  I fear soon there will be complete chaos and they will sweep through the towns killing anyone not of “true German blood” that they can find.  This frightens me immensely.

In Love,

During the war Hitler seemed to still strongly believe in the cause, although his sprits were as dampened as his boots.  He didn’t find it enjoyable or fun, merely something that had to be done.  He writes of the miserable conditions but doesn’t seem to really complain about them.  I think this is because of his patriotism.

The end of the war and the surrender of Germany came as a hard blow to Hitler in his hospital bed on November 10th 1918.  He, as many people, had become comfortable in the trenches, and almost went crazy at the thought of returning home.  Like many Germans, Hitler didn’t see the war ending so abruptly and it tore him apart inside.

At then end of the war I’m sure Hitler’s hate for the Jewish people had intensified, but now he probably began to resent all foreigners, blaming them for the loss of the war.  I think before the war he hated Jewish people and outsiders at like a 7/10 but after the war it was almost a blinding hate, like a 10/10.
