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 […]

How Hitler Took Power

Hitler has full power.  How could this happen?  What lead to his appointment to almost supreme power in the government?  What increased his popularity so much over such a short time?
Its simple really, but there were a few contributing factors.  First he eliminated other governments.  Of course you have power, popularity, and other things when […]

The Effects of WWI on the Nazi Campaign

Many of the people alive at this time had lived through the First World War, and I would certainly bring this as a message. Hitler was not seen as a peacemaker, he was the tough guy on the block. No one wanted another war; they had their fill some years ago.
Another front the […]

How the Germans Fell Into the Nazi Trap

During the depression the rich were poor, and the poor were really poor.  Where was there to go except up?  Why were people willing to join the Nazi party?  There are really two main reasons.
First of all they wanted to believe that the Nazis could help.  They said sure the Nazis can create financial balance.  […]

Hitler’s Positive Traits

If nothing else Hitler was a great politician. He blamed everyone else, quite convincingly I might add. He could do no wrong. If something he planned went wrong then someone screwed it up, probably the Jewish people. If someone else screwed something up it was their fault and they were a […]

My Random Thoughts on Hitler, the Nazis, and the Holocaust

I think the Nazi’s in general are awful people. They are racist. The only thing they seem non-discriminate in is their hate for foreigners. No matter where you are from they think you are weak unless you are from pure German blood. The only people they hate more than foreigners are […]

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 […]

Hitler and Opinion of the Jews

Hitler was excited about the beginning of World War I.  He believed that Germany was superior to other European nations, and probably saw it as their right to control them.  He was very patriotic and because of this he saw the war as a great opportunity.
During the war Hitler seemed to still strongly believe in […]

Hitler and the Holocaust

Adolph Hitler is a name that almost everyone in the world recognizes.  People these days seem to know a lot about Hitler and what he was like during the Holocaust.  We know he had a deep hatred for Jewish people and other minorities, but why was he this way?  What influenced him to do the […]

Negative Effects of the Holocaust on Germany

During Germanys times of financial hardship the people must have been very unhappy with the government. Some Devaluation of the German Mark could have been accepted, but when in nine years it is worth 1/0.000000000001 of its former value it is completely unacceptable.
Who would I blame had I lived at the time? I […]
