A few questions about Hitler/Nazis/Germany <1945?

During the night of February 27, 1933, the Reichstag fire provided Hitler with a convenient excuse for suppressing his opponents. The following day, he persuaded President Paul von Hindenburg to sign an emergency decree suspending civil liberties and stripping the power of the federal German states. Opponents were imprisoned first in improvised camps (wilde Lager) and later in an organized system of Nazi concentration camps. On March 23, the Reichstag passed an “Enabling Law” which granted Hitler dictatorial powers. Unions were abolished and political parties, other than the National Socialists, forbidden.

The Nazis were determined to retrieve the territories that Germany had lost after the Versailles Treaty and create a powerful, German realm. They wanted this realm to include Danzig, which since the Versailles Treaty, the state of Poland had had limited rights towards. When diplomacy failed to secure Danzig's return to Germany, the Nazis got lucky. The communist Soviet Union, an unlikely ally, wanted a non-aggression pact and promised to assist Germany if there was war with Poland. In 1939, Germany attacked Poland and France and the United Kingdom declared war on Germany. Then, the Soviet Union attacked Poland from the east. Poland was defeated but the war continued.

In 1940, Germany attacked and defeated the French and British continental forces in France. France became an occupied country. The Battle of Britain followed, but Germany soon turned its attention to the East. Hitler believed that if the Soviet Union fell, the United Kingdom would come to terms with Germany.

In 1941, Germany and its allies launched Operation Barbarossa against the Soviet Union. In spite of its initial success, the Soviets were able to turn the tide.

As college instructor of political science, nothing unusual about the dominance of Nazi party. (I forgot what NAZI stands for unless I review my book). Hitler strategy has used the support of the common people and especially of the rebels in Germany. Through his speech writer, Himler ( forgot spelling) he delivered it before audience in remote places and speeches were emotional that caught the sympathy of the majority common people. Then they supported and joined him and form NAZI party. Hitler charisma, because he has weakling himself, is his speech writer. the rest is history. I think that is enough for i cannot review the story.

That is a huge question that really couldn't be answered adequately on this forum. I suggest you get hold of a copy of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L Shirer. That has all the information you need.

You might also try searching Google by inputting question s like Rise of Nazism.

Well Wilma I suggest you go back to school, do some heavy editing on your book and learn some basic grammar in the process.

The Fuhrer wrote all his own speeches dictating directly to shorthand then memorizing the text since he spoke without notes. For most of his speeches he simply spoke without any preparation at all.

Hitler was not a weakling or a coward as he was awarded the highest metal at the time for bravery the iron cross first class.

THere's many documentations and films about it. A good movie that explains it is called : "Hitler- The Rise of Evil" with Britsih actor Robert Carlyle. It's available on DVD.

the Nazi party was introduced to the people to help them get out of the mess they created in WW1 (troops were demoralized people were starving .. ext) and Hitler was named Chancellor. Boom they invaded Poland and the Allies kicked their butt!

hitler rolled his r's
