To understand Triumph of the Will, one must understand propaganda, documentary, and the tumultuous time Germany was going through.

Hitler and the Nazis were attempting to take over Germany as the first step to creating an empire. In prior months Hitler “combined the offices of President and Chancellor”,…

Many people wonder how Adolf Hitler, a man blamed for the start of WWII and characterized for his fascist policies that resulted in millions of deaths, could have come to power in Germany during the 1920-1930s. Hitler rose to power in German politics as leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, also known as the Nazi Party (or NSDAP). He was elected chancellor of Germany in 1933, and served as dictator from 1934 to 1945. Even at a young age, Adolf Hitler had a strong passion for…

1) Before WW1, Germany was bellicose, absolutist and arbitrary; a country striving to proclaim its position in the world. By 1914, Germany was Europe’s most dominant nation both in economics and in military force. But prior to the Welfare in 1918, Germany was impotent to import or export goods which confined various commerce. Raw materials and foods were really limited as the war continued. As a result of WW1, Germany was financially broke; they had to pay off utmost compensation to Allies…

Selling A Totalitarian System Adolf Hitler is well know for having complete control over Germany and the death of millions of Jews, but no one has gone into great detail on how he gained so much power during this time period? Adolf Hitler was the dictatorship in the present period of modern technical development, a dictatorship, which made complete use of all technical means for the domination of its own country. Many German citizens were deprived from independent thought due to the development…

Two courses of action, it was argued, were required. First, crypto-Judaism could only be overcome by the introduction of an Inquisition; second, Jewish influence over the conversos could only be overcome by their expulsion. These ideas, adumbrated in works such as Alonso de Espina's Fortalitium Fidei, continued to gain ground, and on 27 September 1480 the Catholic Monarchs appointed Inquisitors in Castile who began their work in Seville shortly after (1481). Conversos, often subjected to torture…

treaty, Germany had to pay reimbursement for all civilian damages caused by the war. In the crisis, people wanted someone to blame, and looked to extreme solutions – Hitler offered them both, and Nazi success in the elections grew Germans turned to Nazism because they were desperate. The number of Nazi seats in the Reichstag rose from 12 in 1928 to 230 in July 1932. Before Hitler won control of Germany, he wrote volume one of Mein Kampf which was published in 1925. This was one of the…

Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini were like each other in many ways. Both were devoted Fascists, and both became dictators of their countries at similar times using similar strategies. This was not surprising, as Hitler had seen the success of Mussolini’s rise to power and was inspired to do the same in Germany. The two shared a common, clever strategy in taking power in a completely legal fashion. Their arrival in their governments and the laws they made that allowed them to run legal…

This paper will consider the philosophical question “Did the Nazi’s have Law?” by drawing off of H.L.A Hart’s conception of law. Hart, being a positivist, believes that law and morality are conceptually separate; law is simply what undergoes the judiciary installment and is enacted by the law-making agency of a society. He concludes that morality is a statement of values which are subjective, hence the reason they can’t be compared to the law which is a statement of facts. I shall argue that the…

Justification was a moral theology that Germans used to validate their actions, or lack thereof. After Hitler’s appointment to chancellor, an internal purge of political opposition destroyed any possible objection to Nazi policies. The Nazis began implementing the “Fuhrer-myth,” to spark the idolization of Adolf Hitler by citizens. This myth served as a justification for the Germans and their actions against racial minorities any verbal or physical assault was done in the honor of Hitler and…
