  2. Overview How Hitler came to rule Germany and the Nazi’s gain of power.

  3. Who, What, When? • Hitler and the Nazis • Their power over Germany • Early 1930s

  4. Why Did They Conquer Germany? Germany was easy to control because of their weak and shattered economy.

  5. Significance to the War Hitler was trying to unite Europe under himself. He believed he could work Europe better than anyone else. He killed millions of people, and had absolute authority over the German Reich.

  6. Start of Hitler’s Power • From the time Hitler came to power, his focus was to persecute Jews. Hitler joined the Nazi Party after World War I and soon gained control.

  7. Hitler Rules!How did he do it? • The power Hitler and the Nazi power gave them the ability to take over Germany. • His secret police, state-controlled press, and state-controlled educational system helped him.

  8. It All Begins… • When Hitler and the Nazis tried to attempt a rebellion, Hitler was sent to prison. While in prison, he dictated the book Mein Kampf (meaning “My Struggle”). • In this book, he stated his explanations for the problems facing Germany. • He criticized many people, political programs, ideologies, and especially against communists and Jewish people.

  9. The Voice of Germany • Hitler soon became chancellor of Germany in 1933 by the president of the Weimar Republic & also due to the Nazi’s power and strength. • In the next two years, he also added to his power by becoming president. He ruled unchecked by the German parliament. • By 1935, the democracy of the Weimar Republic was silenced, and Hitler spoke alone as the voice of Germany.

  10. In the late 1930s, his economic policies had ended the depression in Germany. Many Germans followed his lead and cheered for him at Nazi rallies. His political initiatives soon restricted freedom, and he openly attacked Jewish people, communists, and socialists. He’s The Man!

  11. Quote There stood Hitler in a simple black coat and looked over the crowd….how many look up to him with a touching faith! As their helper, their savior, their deliverer from unbearable distress-to him who rescues…the scholar, the clergyman, the farmer, the worker, the unemployed, who leads them from the [jumbled political] parties back into the nation. –Louis Solmitz, Schoolteacher witnessing the Nazi Rallies.

  12. The Nazi Party • Opposed socialism, communism, or any other ‘ism’ that promoted class interests or workers’ rights above German ethnic solidarity. • When Hitler made his speeches, the Nazis used street violence to scare their opponents, beat up the Jews on the street, and break up their political meetings.

  13. Stormtroopers • Also known as “Nazi thugs” • Grew very rapidly • In 1931, there were 170,000 stromtroopers • In 1932, there were over 400,000. • Glorified violence as a symbol of strength.

  14. Facists/Facism • Example of stormtroopers and Nazis • A political movement marked by extreme nationalism, celebration of military strength, strong anticommunism, and a belief in a single all-powerful leader. • They are honest about their view on democracy, as they feel it’s weak and old.

  15. True colors on the Nazis • During the election campaign between Hitler and Hindenburg, stormtrooper violence increased. • There were 461 political riots in Prussia. Over 80 people were killed, and hundreds were injured.

  16. More Elections, More Violence • Hitler held an election in March 1933, the third in less than a year • He used power to ensure a win from the majority in Reichstag. • On February 27, the Reichstag building was set on fire.

  17. He Unfortunately Did It… • The next day after the fire of the Reichstag building, Hitler issued an emergency decree signed by Hindenburg, giving Hitler special power to “protect” the nation against “Communist acts of violence”. • This concluded the end of democracy in Germany because Hitler could do just about anything he wanted.

  18. The Nazis Are In Control • The Nazi police arrested over 10,000 people the night after the Reichstag fire. • The leaders of the Communist Party were jailed and sent to concentration camps. • 40,000 Nazi stormtroopers were made special police officers. They made terror everywhere and acted legally. The regular police sat back and watched.

  19. It’s MYCall! • Only pro-Nazi political meetings were allowed as the election campaigns continued, and still a majority of Germans didn’t vote for the Nazis. • Enabling Act (March 1933)-Allowed government to issue laws without approval of the Reichstag for four years. They could violate the constitution. • The “law” by this time was whatever Hitler wanted and could “legally” do what the Nazis wanted. Almost every opposing organization against the Nazis were destroyed.

  20. Requirements & Restrictions Requirements Restrictions • Practicing law, journalists, radio broadcasters, musicians, & theater work required Nazi approval. • All workers had to belong to the German Labor Front. • Jul. 14, 1933-Nazi Party constitutes only political parties in Germany. • Jan. 1934-Nazi Party was the only legal political party. • The Social Democratic Party was banned. • Nationalist Party was taken over. • No voice from the people. • Any leaders of anything else or an attempt to go against Hitler was sent to prison.
