Stronger Point Of The Nazi Party example essay topic

We learn from document (a), written by a petty tradesman, that people in Germany were starving, -.".. I made a living like a peddler... ". -, and cause of this famine were the taxes, inflation imposed by the communist government that as doc. (a) says "deprived me of all means of livelihood, also this man of the document, like many other mans in the same conditions, was a soldier that fought in front line during the WWI and be treated like this now, after they defended their country so bravely, is to them unacceptable. So this class needed employment ("I moved to Shoenbeck where unemployment forced me on the dole") and Hitler's government promised them a job as the 7th point of the German Worker's party (GWP) says: we demand that the first priority of the state is to ensure that its citizens have a job and decent life and this was very attractive in an unemployment and starvation period! Also we understand that the problem of the food was very big and the Nazis party pretended back their colonies and promised to do efforts to: .".. provide food for our nations and settlement areas of population surplus "; we can also say that as a reaction to the horrible way of life in that time, people started to be afraid of communism, afraid and irritated against this government that kept them unemployed and starving, so the normal instinct they had was to vote for a party at the extreme opposite.

At last but not least point we have the national pride that during that time was under their shoes and is vital for a citizen to be proud of his country, to hope that his country would become the best... so they needed national pride? ... and Hitler promised them national pride. ". a number of us welcomed the patriotic groups, particularly those of the Hitler movement". Other reasons for the great number of supporters of the nazi party are suggested by source (b) written by a PHYSICIAN! Is always important to underline the author of the source because it gives us an idea about the category of people to which the party talked to! In this case we have a Physician, representing the higher class and the culturally elevated one, previously we had a petty tradesman representing more the lower classes; so we see that the extreme right party had for target more than one category of people!

Butt to attract to attract a certain class... we need someone from the same class and this is well explained in source (b) because our physician went to a meeting where Dr Ley (so another scientist) "gave remarkable analysis of governmental responsibility for the plight of Germany, at the same time outlining the aims and purposes of National Socialism" and the words of this person of such a high culture where so well said "that he seemed to be expressing my own thoughts and desires"; and this is precisely what you need during the election period so with no delay our physician as many other scientists like him joined with no delay the party. So we have underlined this technique of the nazi party that consisted in let the people think that that party was the one expressing their ideas instead of pushing the electors to a new way. The stronger point of the Nazi party was always the enormous national pride that was in many German citizens, especially in the workers that where in the army. In source (c) we find a railway worker that is horrified about the idea of leaving Germany in the hands of Bolshevism because his social class (and again we find the party targeting to the different social classes) is the one that offered to the country the best soldiers and now this class is alienated from their country and this, for him, would be a catastrophe for Germany because if the country loose his supporters... there is no more country! So the socialist slogan "workers of the world unite " made no sense for them; but, instead, attracted him very much the promises of the Nazi party of a community of blood, meaning all from the same country (and here it refers basically to the first 10 points of the GWP) and also of course the "barring of all class struggle attracted him very much too because his class, the workers one, is one more hit by this struggle who is talking about. In source (d) we have some motivations about how could the anti-Semitic aspect of the nazi party be a good thing for some people!

The Jews where the ones who practically owned the money because they where traders and business mans so they gained fortunes, and often farmers, when they had a bad year, they asked them to borrow money with astronomic interests so the debt became bigger and bigger month after month; in that period, just after the war, many people where in this condition so they had all motivation to approve the 4th point of the programme of the GWP about considering Jews as strangers and chase them from the country! And here source (d) is written by a farmer so someone of a high class because a farmer, in period of war, could gain an enormous fortune because during the war the prices for goods rises steeply. We know that the writer of source (d) is not ignorant because the document says "I left the gymnasium... ". so he has a certain instruction and this give more credibility to doc. (d). In the second part of the source the author is very in favour of another important point of the National socialism: the stop to the class struggling and so stop the prejudices of the lower classes concerning the upper ones. There is another aspect of the NS party that I haven't developed but that emerge from source (e): the leader of the party; to attract people doing promises is never enough, we also have to give an image to the Party you represent, and the image of the Nazi one is Adolf Hitler!!

Is the image that the people of all social levels needed to see: a proud, strong, virile man capable to gain respect, capable to rule a strong nation and a strong army!! This is what source (e) is talking about, a man able to give the citizens their pride back, but most important a man that could represent the ENTIRE nation, a man who is a soldier, a worker, a politician... someone who had the same experience of the citizens and so able to understand them and give them what they need! People felt that Hitler was very near to them! -- "Hitler you are our man, you speak as a soldier of the front and as a man you know the grind you have been a worker man; you have lain in the mud EVEN AS WE-no big shot but unknown soldier"-and people in Germany where sure that he was the correct man to rule the country and he couldn't do nothing than bring good things -"For your innermost heart will not let you do otherwise"- Source (f) remember how Germany was strong long time ago and how unconquerable Germany was when was strongly unified, and this was the secret of national socialism. Germany had suffered a lot in the past and the will to come back stronger than before was very strong in Germans hearts -source (g) "As a result of lesson of history and my own experience both during and before the war I became National Socialist".

Like this, for a combination of all those reasons that I gave in the elections of 1932 the Nazi party ruled by Hitler was able too attract over 13.000. 000 votes!
