Anyone that he didn’t want alive, didn’t have much of a chance to survive. He used his influence to start World War II and influenced the Germans to fight for their country. Other ways that Hitler influenced the German citizens included making many appearances in front of large crowds by using military music. He had “elaborate ceremonies and dramatic speeches to demonstrate the glory of Germany and of his own leadership” (“Hitler, Adolf”). It is generally accepted that once someone is famous or popular, they can become influential and so it
Speer had substantial power and was also said to be the second most powerful man in the Third Reich after Hitler. His contribution were significant and included the possibility of prolonging Germany's defence as Minister for Armaments and Munitions, as consequently due to that it allowed the continuation of the racial policies, also using his architectural ability to endorse Nazism and nationalism, being given the chance to build ˜Germania' and whose designs of the Olympics gained recognition for Germany
The radio was a particularly effective device due to the fact that it was already a big source of entertainment. The Nazis produced cheap radios called the Volksempfänger (People’s radio) affordable to every household, and set up loudspeakers in public places making broadcasted propaganda unavoidable. Posters were another effective form of propaganda because they were visually striking, inexpensive to produce, and overall difficult to avoid. The press was also to be strictly controlled, non-Nazi newspaper and magazine companies were to be shut down, and editors were told what they were able to publish. This only gave the public the option of reading texts that praised Nazism.
Assess the view that the most important element in maintaining Hitler’s regime in power between 1933 and 1945 was the consent of the German people. Interpretation D and to some extent A argue that the German people supported the regime while B and C suggest that other factors such as repression, propaganda and economic conditions played a vital role in Hitler’s maintenance of power. The German nation as pointed out in source A (“A”) had a “long tradition of obedience to authority” so we can assume that the circumstances that were created in the 1920-1930s led to the willing establishment of a new regime. This is supported by the argument that the people gave their vote to Hitler and his followers repeatedly, as argued by Flenly in “A.” Historical evidence has shown us that Hitler gained support even from Germans living outside Germany. His occupation of Austria was an outstanding achievement as Austria welcomed their German neighbors and 200,000 Austrians gathered to welcome Hitler and hear his speech.
It may be good to have power based on arms but it is better and more joyful to win and to keep the hearts of the people.” Throughout Triumph of the Will, adoration and approval for Hitler is clearly shown on the faces of those in the crowd. The documentary itself is propaganda because it portrays Hitler and the Nazi party as the good guys rather than exposing the evil and corruption within their regime. Nazism’s ideal of the power and purification of the race is predominately shown in The Triumph of the Will. Of the thousands of German citizens shown throughout the film, none are of Jewish decent. In the film, a Nazi leader states that “A people which does not hold with the purity of its race will perish”.
How successful was the Nazi attempt to create a ‘Volksgemeinschaft’ in Germany between 1933 and 39? The Nazi’s needed all the people to unite together to make a community that had the same ideas and thoughts. They referred to this as a ‘Volksgemeinschaft’ which means peoples community in German. Volksgemeinschaft aimed to make everyone work together. Many factors contributed to this such as contributing Nazi teachings into education and youth activities.
His powerful speech was influential and enabled the German public to feel more optimistic within the war as well as regime. Another reason why the Nazis proclaimed to total war was because Hitler was keen on establishing Germany as a strong nation. The defeats
Those companies couldn’t survive without and just like those companies who relied upon the automobiles success couldn’t grow without the radios growth. By 1930 40% of all Americans owned a radio. Listeners would gather in their living rooms and tune into sporting events (Baseball and Boxing were very popular during this time period and also helped weigh in on the disparity of wealth in the 1920s), concerts, sermons, and the widely popular “Red Menace News”. Advertisements also became very dependent on the radios growth advertising all over the radio to appeal to the listeners. The radios and automotive industry were widely popular because of the use and need for them during World War I.
With his use of the Lebensraum, he said he needed living space in order to give this Aryan race power and dominance. Just the term living space sounds much nicer than a domination or conquering of people. Hitler kept true to his goal that an Aryan race was needed in Germany and all over the world. He doesn't so much at first attack other races, but shows the superiority of his race, which excuses his extermination of other people. For our group work, we talked about the totalitarian regimes.
Choices were few in the information was scarce. Then came the radio and about the same time World War I started. Use of this mass media was censored by the government and not until the end of the war public was allowed to own and use a radio. When the war ended and the radio became the main source of information, it was joined by another technological marvel – motion picture. Even though this mass media was also heavily censored once the World War II started, it proved to be an invaluable resource for all sides.
