  1. Nazi Germany Year 11 History – Semester 1, 2011

  2. What were Hitler’s main aims? • Anti-Semitism • Hitler blamed the Jews for many of Germany’s problems • “Scapegoat” • The enemy of Germany

  3. Social Darwinism • A belief that some races were superior to others, and that this was the result of a long and continuing struggle • Hitler referred to this ideology in his speeches • The strong now became ‘culture creators’ with a duty to overcome ‘culture destroyers’ • Aryan’s were the master race and had every right to take what they needed from the ‘inferior’ races

  4. The Nazi Party • Nationalist policies = emphasised race, expansion, the army, power, and relations with other countries • Socialist policies = to do with state controls over the living conditions of the people and the economy

  5. Extracts from the Twenty-Five Point Programme of the Nazi Party – drawn up in 1920

  6. Following the failed ‘putsch’ • Hitler realised that he would have to attempt to win power legally through elections • He realised he would now have to compete with other parties for support of the electorate • The Nazi revolution would be introduced after he had come to power, and not be the means by which he would achieve power

  7. Refounding the Nazi Party • Whilst in prison the Nazi Party had fallen in decline • Re-organised the party to have a Party Official in charge of a particular region • Hitler implemented the SA

  8. The SA (Sturmabteilung) • The Stormtroopers of the Nazi Party • Attracted ex-soldiers, thugs and criminals • Their job was to break up other party’s meetings using force • Also known as the brown shirts

  9. Nazi Propaganda – Joseph Goebbels • Joseph Goebbels became the Minister of Propaganda and Enlightenment for the Nazi Party • Propaganda became very important to the Nazis - indoctrination

  10. THE STOCKMARKET CRASH - 1929

  11. The social and economic consequences of the crash greatly increased the Nazis hold on the electorate during this time • People needed someone to believe in, and Hitler was making them promises

  12. A Nazi anti-Jewish poster, published before Hitler came to power in 1933

  13. A Nazi election poster of 1928. It says the sacrifices made by Germany in the First World War were in vain.
