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.
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.
When And Why Did The Second World War Turn Against Hitler And His Allies? In September 1939 the world descended into the most violent conflict in its history. This was as a result of many years of poverty stress and anger at other countries (from Germany). Hitler took this downfall of the country to become the prime minister, as he often said that if he became the leader of Germany he would sort the country of all its problems. Hitler then took away the “Power of the People” by replacing parliament with a self proclaimed dictatorship, which most Germans welcomed.
Another example of this is Adolf Hitler during World War II. He had ambition for power as well as making Germany free of Jews, whom he saw as the enemy. He order millions of Jews to put into concentration camps and many of them died as a result. Because of Hitler’s ambition, millions of Jews died. A third example could be The United States as a country and the war we’re in with Iraq.
Hitler, Stalin, and the Bomb Hitler and Stalin both share the dubious distinction of being two of the most destructive figures throughout all of history. The atrocities committed between the two of them against innocent people runs up into the millions. With Hitler, his rage was derived from his disdain to any Jewish person around believe that they truly were inferior to him. Stalin had a deep fear of people rising up against him and killed a mass amount of his own people just to suppress that fear that the people in his country might soon rebel against him. During the time period in which their reigns each occurred, nuclear science was starting to make some of its biggest discoveries in history.
This is evident when David held her tightly and whispered “God, I’m sorry”. ‘ What could have made him want to hurt the girl, the one he really still loved?’ Therefore characters in the wave saw the positive and negative effects of The Wave but still they chose the wrong path and peer pressured those who weren’t members with incensement of social pressure they managed to get the whole school. Initially, Morton Rhue indicates the reader to the policy of social pressure in Nazi Germany. To kick off the novel , Mr Ross exhibits a video of the German Nazi and how they killed millions of thousands of Jews, taking them to concentration camps and killing them with no accurate reason just out of anger and furious. “They could see gas chambers now, and the piles of bodies laid out like stove wood”.
“Nazi Germany gave us a big ungainly word, yet one that we still use: totalitarianism. We may even throw it around too loosely, applying it to a lot of foreign leaders whom we don’t like. But heres what it meant in the context of Nazi Germany: the destruction of all persons and groups that would challenge Hitler’s supremacy. This destruction singled out not only the Jews but also most intellectuals, the Communists and the Socialists, the labour unions, the Catholic Church, parts of the Lutheran ministry and even elements of the Nazi movement itself. Nazism was a revolution, and revolutions tend to devour their own.” The words of Robert Smith Thompson (2003, 141) have just described the crisis that was facing the Weimar Republic in the years 1933-1939.
The police, helped by the SS and the Gestapo, tried to prevent all open opposition to the regime. (Lowe, 2005) Hitler ordered the SS to murder suspected SA officers on the Night of the Long Knives on June 13 1934 to ensure his absolute control of the party. The judges of the courts were Nazis, and they were not fair and impartial to the trials. Hitler’s opponents, mainly comprised Communists, Social Democrats, Catholic priests and Protestant pastors were arrested by the Gestapo and many of them were sent to concentration camps. In Nazi Germany the police were allowed to arrest anyone they suspected to be a threat to the party and anyone who openly opposed Nazi in public would be tortured, even to death.
The Night of the Long Knives was the name Hitler gave to his purge of the SA. Hitler found out about a conspiracy to have him removed because the SA had the power to remove him. So with that Knowledge he called for a meeting and there he arrested the leader Ernst Roehm and also arrested 200 other senior officers. Many were shot as they were captured and in the end he also had Roehm killed. He made sure the next leader for them was weak so in the end they lost their power.
It is just those selfish, greedy people who decide that they want more than what is rightfully theirs. There are also other factors to war but it will always be that the side that attempts to harm as little people as possible, who will be peceived as the ‘good side’. The greedy individuals create fear and anger and feed it into the minds of the people by controlling their emotions and twisting their opinions, for example: Adolf Hitler managed to persuade hundreds of people to dislike Jewish people, friends became enemies, colleagues became strangers. He also fed them images of the ‘perfect German’. This is an example of how people can be trained to do anything just like animals.
