“To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens”- Adolf Hitler.
From 1933 to 1945 Germany was under control of Adolf Hitler, a man who denied his citizen’s their basic human rights and instead controlled all aspects of their lives with violence and fear. Adolf Hitler, Fuhrer of Germany was a ruthless tyrant during his term in office from the 30th of January 1933 to the 30th of April 1945. Hitler used education, bribery, rewards and campaigns to control his people and to benefit his ideals and beliefs.

Hitler used the Education system to control the German public and instil fear into all of the citizens that did not fit into volksgemeinschaft. In Nazi Germany education was the main tool by which Hitler could implement his racial policies and isolate the Jewish population. In order for Hitler to have his perfect Aryan Race all Jewish and other racially undesirable teachers were sacked along with children being banned from attending schools that pure blooded German children attended.

It is easy to understand how the non-Jewish citizens in Germany were manipulated by Hitler’s rewards and bribes because of what state they were left in after WW1. The First World War saw Germany’s economy in chaos and her people desperate for a leader that would pull them from the depression they were experiencing. Hitler offered the people of Germany hope and a brighter future if they simply followed the rules and did as they were told. Many of the rewards the Nazi party created were linked to marriage and children. Hitler wanted a strong Aryan youth so in order to achieve that goal men and women would be given loans equivalent to half a year’s pay and if the couple had more than four children they would not have to pay back the money. Mothers would be awarded with a bronze medal if they had four children, Silver if they had six and Gold if they had
