These relationships enabled him to take advantage of the German occupation program to “’Aryanize’ and ‘Germanize’ Jewish-owned and Polish-owned business…” (Crowe). In 1939 he secured a run down, bankrupt enamel factory, which he named Emalia, and was provided with Jews to serve as slave labor (Crowe; Karesh). Through his ability to charm and manipulate people, and through his various connections, he was awarded numerous contracts to supply the German military with pots and pans and kitchen accessories manufactured by his factory, and his business became extremely profitable (Vashem). It was during this time that he began to realize the seriousness of the situation and the grave danger his Jewish workers would probably be facing. He began to truly care about
As a ruler, Adolf Hitler of the Nazi party had numerous successes but he also had he fair share of failures. At the beginning of World War II, Hitler was seen as a savior to the German nation because of his oratory skills, appeal to the people and his successes. One of his first successes came when he fulfilled his promises to the German people and reversed the Treaty of Versailles. After the death of Hindenburg in 1934, Hitler was seen as the successor. The German public saw Hitler as god-like with his vast power and glorifying the German race as being the “master race.” When he finally reversed the power of the Treaty of Versailles and rebuilt Germany’s armed forces, the German nation basically did as he told them to do.
Hitler was a great leader in a horrible way. These days most people believe that Hitler was a nasty person because of the holocaust he created but what did people think about Hitler during his days. Powerful, a person who spoke out his thoughts, which all were good ideas to the Germans and so eventually he climbed up the hierarchy ladder and reached the top and in 1933 he became the Chancellor of Germany. Hitler was strongly against the Treaty of Versailles. He didn’t like the fact that 15% of their land was taken by all the winning countries.
How important was Hitler to helping the Nazi Party come to power in 1933? In this essay I will be answering the question ‘How important was Hitler to helping the Nazi Party come to power in 1933?’. To do this I will split it into 4 paragraphs: How Hitler was important in the rise of the Nazi Party, How the other Nazi leaders were important, How the Depression helped the Nazis and How the weakness of the Political System helped the Nazi’s. Before the 1920’s, the Nazi Party were a new extreme right wing political party called the German Workers Party. The party was created in 1919 by a railway mechanic called Anton Drexler.
The Night of the Long Knives Describe and explain how and why Hitler consolidated his power by eliminating opposition and accommodating support in this event. Between 1929 and 1933, a series of events brought Adolf Hitler to power in the crumbling Weimar Republic; now facing economic crisis and political disunity. Although encountering great opposition from the general public and, particularly, the left wing, within a year of his appointment Hitler had already removed most, if not all, of the surrounding disapproval. However, even though opposition from the outside had been terminated, there still remained dangers from within the government and the Nazi Party itself. On one side, Hitler needed to gain the approval of the Reichswehr and, on the other; he had to reassert his power by eliminating any threat of opposition from the SA and its leader, Ernst Röhm.
This new born and growing reputation speculated among the Nazi officials and Hitler himself, and ultimately served as a starting block for Speer’s rise to prominence. The death of Paul Troost in 1934 combined with Speer’s appointment of Reich Architect continued his climb to prominence. After Troost’s death, Speer was commissioned to design the Nuremberg Rally. Speer used this opportunity to show off his talent to its extreme and created a display that is widely remembered and admire today for its mass propaganda use. The Rally designs including black, white and red Nazi flags, each ten metres high, which hung virtually, which created a column effect, portraying an element of Neo-classical architecture.
Albert Speer was an intelligent, affluent and well-educated man, in many ways he was an atypical Nazi. Albert Speer claimed to be apolitical as a young man; however he himself like many others, were converted to the Nazi Party after attending a rally and hearing Adolf Hitler speak. The second of three sons to Albert Friedrich Speer and Luise Mathilde Wilhelmine Hommel, Berthold Konrad Hermann Albert Speer was born the 19th March 1905. The Speer family lived in Mannheim, Germany and were quite wealthy. At school Speer excelled, particularly in mathematics.
The Return of Hans Staden: A Go-Between in the Atlantic World by Duffy and Metcalf is a thrilling tale of the Atlantic adventures of the German born Hans Staden. This book pieces together history in an attempt to navigate the reader through the life and many journeys of Staden. I was amazed by the incredible story of Staden while reading this book, but some parts of this story seemed to be too good to be true. Regardless, the story of his travels, capture, and ransom are still fascinating. There was one major movement that caught my attention while reading, and this movement has nothing to do with sailing.
* He believed Germans belonged to the master race.

Oskar Schindler was a German industrialist and a member of the Nazi party during World War II. He journeyed to Krakow and obtained a formerly Jewish-owned enamelware factory. Schindler was initially interested in the money-making potential that the business had, especially since his staff consisted of Jewish workers from the ghetto that worked for very little payment. He later on realized that by employing the Jews, he was saving them from certain death at concentration camps. Schindler continuously saved many Jews from the brutality of these camps through diplomacy and bribery with SS officers.
