empire, and provide clear evidence that Hitler did indeed intend to create a war and was primarily motivated by his racist ideology and desire for the expansion of Germany. Indeed, as acknowledged by Taylor, the Hossbach Memorandum was used against the Nazis at the Nuremberg trials (Taylor, 181). In Mein Kampf, Hitler lays out his plan for Lebensraum (living space): “Only an adequately large space on this earth assures a nation of freedom of existence … we must hold unflinchingly to our aim in…

When people talk about world war two and the Holocaust, they would usually think of Adolf Hitler as the dictator behind it all. There is a lot more behind it than just one man. Most German citizens knew about and supported the slavery and death of millions of Jewish people. There are many ways that the citizens of Germany contributed to the Holocaust. People might wonder why they did this, but there are various explanations to that question. People may also have the question of how so many…

INTRODUCTION Joseph Goebbels the Director of the Nazi Party propaganda under the Nazi Reign is considered to be the Master of Nazi propaganda.

to live their lives. The effect of WWII on humanity was that it turned a large group of people, the Nazi soldiers, into desensitized, mindless drones that simply did what Hitler had ordered them to.

consisted of a cocktail of different groups the Nazis deemed “inferior”. Romani, Slavic peoples, African-German children, disabled people, Jehovah’s Witnesses, opposers to the Nazi regime, including communists, socialists, and members of the anti-Nazi Confessional Church, homosexual men, and other people the Nazis believed for various reasons didn’t have a place in their society they called “asocials” were all seen as sub-human to the Nazis and…

During the early 1930’s, at a time of high unemployment, poverty, famine, and governmental chaos, the Nazi Party in Germany gained growing support. Adolf Hitler was the leader of this extreme right-wing political party, the National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party. The Nazis persecuted Jews, Roma Gypsies, political opponents, and many others, blaming the failures of Germany in the past as attributable to the Jews (Rothman). Hitler and his regime promised hope of a “new Germany” to those…

The creators of Der Untertan aimed at explaining the seemingly unlikely turn of events which resulted in the devastation of World War II and the Holocaust, and the Nazi party was obviously driven to promote their cause and to gain more member’s for Hitler Youth. Though it is clear that they promote…
