Nazi Success and Failure in WWII

There are two reasons for Hitler and the Nazis success, and just one for their failure, in World War I.
The first reason for success is one man, Hitler.  Hitler single handedly formed the Nazi party.  He was all that they had.  In a time when people were thought to follow, he chose instead to lead.  […]

Who to “Blame” for the Holocaust

Who really is to blame for the Holocaust?  The truth be told you really can’t blame anyone specifically.  You could blame the people of Germany at the time who sat idly by as the Jewish people were killed by the millions.  You could blame the soldiers who carried out these acts of malicious violence.  You […]

Hitler’s “Reasoning” for the Holocaust

Realistically Hitler had no reason for killing the Jewish people other than he didn’t like them, but he himself was fully convinced of the validity of his reasoning. He had four main reasons that would be logical were they true.

Winston Churchill and the Holocaust

Winston Churchill was the first man, and one of the few men, who saw Hitler’s Germany for what it really was, and took it for what it was worth. He saw Germany as a great threat and it certainly was.

Propaganda and the Holocaust

Propaganda was probably the most widely used tool of the Nazi party. They brainwashed people with their messages. They said things so many times that people began to believe them, and people wanted to believe them. Why wouldn’t they? The Nazis were promising everything good, and asking very little in return. […]

Policies of the Nazi Party

The policies of the Nazis were designed to help them maintain control over Germany.  There are really two types of policies; your place in the nation, and absolute power.
First your place in the nation.  The Nazis made it clear that men needed to work and fight for the glory of Germany.  If you weren’t in […]

If I was There - Letter to Mom

Dear Mom,
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 […]

Argument For and Against Ally Compromise

For:
1) The Allies were more than fair by not taking complete control of Germany and it’s economy
2) The Allies are allowing Germany enough military force to maintain order, and protect the independence of Germany
3) The Allies forced Germany to compensate only civilian damages, not military, as […]
