mind and thus vigorously advocated the shootings of Jews’” (77). Kay is able to present here that while what Filbert said is court held some truth, the truth behind his actions were that of a man looking out for the needs of himself. The exact actions causing him to fabricate portions of his testimony. Kay also provides a few instances outside of Filbert 's life in the SS in which his need for recognition and admiration change his perception of actual life events. With image being a concept that was extremely important to Filbert his title as Doctor of Laws made up his identity. For even when using a fake name, Dr. Selbert, he still kept the title Dr. in his need for admiration and recognition. Thus, Kay shows, that in 1964 when the Justus Liebig University of Giessen resolved to strip the title from Filbert for the unworthy use of his title he filed an objection. Filbert held to the claim that "He had been appointed the head of the EK 9 as retribution for the conduct of his brother... and furthermore claimed that refusal to carry out mass shootings... had been punishable by death" (104). Again for the sake of his image Filbert cast himself as the victim when kay has clearly shown that Filbert 's actions as an enthusiastic perpetrator were done on his own accord in order to feed his ego and advance his career. Especially seen when Filbert took on a role in the film Wundkanal, Filbert 's ego was vastly inflated. He practically took on a role playing himself, believing that…

fragile Weimar republic.”(Treaty) These were the foundations of Adolf Hitler’s rise to totalitarian power. The Reichstag was the Parliament of Germany from 1871 to 1918, which was the imperial council of the German state. In 1924, Nazi party took 3% of the Reichstag vote. However there was over 50 parties in the Reichstag, therefore not one single party could take the leading vote. By 1930’s“The traditional right and center of German politics collapsed, and millions flooded to support National…

by certain events like the Great Depression Hitler and the Nazi Party would of most likely have remained in the margins of Weimar politics. Between 1924 and 1932 Hitler and his agents worked hard to reform the Nazi Party to become a legitimate contender for Reichstag seats. They turned down their anti-Semitic and anti-Republican ideals and recruited new members to increase their party membership and changed into a national party. Hitler chased after groups such as the industrialists, wealthy…

Since the end of World War II, many have questioned what exactly led to the rise of Hitler and Nazi power. Some give Hitler a lot of credit by claiming it was him and his charismatic speeches that led the way, while others claim that racism and propaganda fueled inherent racism already in Germany. It is most likely that the NSDAP (the Nazi Party) and Hitler rose to power due to external social conditions setting the stage for Nazi ideology to gain support. Germany’s participation in World War I…

attacks and defenses accordingly. Over the years as many changes were made, the Ultra became what is known today as the Colossus. The Colossus was “the world’s first digital, all-electronic computer”(Miller 41). The Colossus made weeks of computations available within just hours. “Colossus reduced the time to break Lorenz messages from weeks to hours and just in time for messages to be deciphered which gave vital information to Eisenhower and Montgomery prior to D Day”(Rojas First, 355) The…

in ideology, this made a coalition government very difficult to run. The death of Stresemann left President Hindenburg in a difficult position as Stresemann was the only person that kept the government running. Hindenburg could not find a chancellor who had a majority in the Reichstag, thus he appointed Heinriech Bruning and that ended parliamentary democracy in Germany. In order to gain a majority, Bruning held elections and in 1932, he was able to persuade Germany’s allies to drop reparation…

the life of a kingdom of lions in Africa. However its not the story of The Lion King that is related to Adolf Hitler is one song, one part of the movie that is related to Hitler. The song “ Be Prepared” is performed by Scar. The song is about Mufasa dying and Scar becoming the King over Pride Rock. In this scene Scars isn’t companioned by Lions, instead Hyenas who are known for their aggression, which is similar to the aggression of Hitler’s army. The way in which this is related is simple.…

and Pridham, 1998, p.70). Josef Goebbels was in charge of their propaganda from 1928 onwards. The films, posters and newspapers presented a clear message and told the people what they wanted to hear. The Nazis held huge rallies every year in Nuremburg from 1927. This was a chance for Hitler to speak about his ideologies to mass numbers of people. However Goebbels could not trust that propaganda alone would win people over. He had to use the idea of censorship to ban ideas which would be…

value of power and the impact that it can make on a person. The Holocaust can be attributed to Hitler’s ideology formed in his early years as a result of his role models and the amplified hatred of Jews shared by Germans. Adolf Hitler’s childhood was marked by small events that explain his racial thinking and the notion of an ideal race. Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 in a small town in Austria called Braunau am Inn. While growing up Hitler had very few close personal relationships and was…

the German people divided. At the Peace of Westphalia, Richelieu accomplished this using raison d’état. This belief, that anything that protects the nation, no matter if it I moral or not, is the correct course of action, was used by Richelieu to keep Germany disjointed. The Holy Roman Empire was broken into over 300 sovereigns. For over 200 years Germany would be divided. In the early 1800s Germany consisted of dozens of individual states. Some were small and weak, but others were…
