Paul von Hindenburg

The year is 1931, the place, Berlin, and here we see the entrance of a young American writer, Clifford Bradshaw. Later we see the entrance of his love interest, and main attraction of the Kit Kat Club, Sally Bowles. Throughout the play we follow the romance between the two as it grows and develops, and finally fails. We also follow the tragically doomed romance of German Boarding House owner, Fraulein Schneider, and her Jewish suitor Herr Schultz. At intervals every so often we see the Emcee…

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…

to 1934. This will include exploring its significance in terms of unemployment political crises, the rise of Nazis as the largest party and ultimately both the enabling act and the early stages of Gleichschaltung, up to the NOTLK and the death of Hindenburg as well as the Army oath and how this affected the German people. I will also contextualise the WSC by briefly examining how it was significant to ending the Stresemann Years, in 1929. The Weimar government faced many problems through 1919…

“A fundamental problem which faced Weimar Germany was the need to come to terms with the post-war world, at a time when a large proportion of the population was determined not to do just that” (Bessel and Feuchtwanger, 1981, p.15). On the 11th November 1918, Germany surrendered, marking the end of the First World War. They had played a major part in WW1 and when they were defeated this was a huge shock for the country. Those who signed the Armistice were to become known as the ‘November…

(Chancellor) would assume the office (and crucially then possess its powers) pending the election of a new president. This allowed Hitler to unite the offices of Reichskanzler and Reichspräsident after the death of Hindenburg in 1934. However, by this time, the dictatorship had already been firmly installed, and this clause alone can probably not be blamed for Nazism in general. On the other hand, the Weimar Republic inherited serious…

for power and ability to manipulate people was crucial for his success. Meeting with Von Papen in December 1932, he resolutely demanded the Chancellorship. Whereas Strasser faltered in making botched agreements with Von Schleicher for a lesser position, Hitler held out against odds. Additionally Hitler’s chameleon nature meant that he was successfully demanding with Von Papen, yet very respectful with Hindenburg, bowing down to him publicly. Popularity got Hitler through the door, but Hitler’s…

established a national party organization and growth of the party had increased since the reorganization. By 1929, the party had about 108,000 members in the party. In 1926 the Sturmabteilung (SA) was reestablished under a new leader named Franz Pfeffer von Salomon. In reorganizing the SA, Hitler emphasized that it was no longer connected to other paramilitary groups. Its main function was to start war on Jewry and Marxism in mass demonstrations. The SA growing made it possible for campaigns of…

step further and win her title back? Through all of the sources that have been gathered, the truth would be made clear. In Source A it was evident that Coco Chanel had a sneaky affair with a German Military Intelligence Officer Baron Hans Guenther Von Dincklage. Because of this affair, there were allegations that she had committed treason against her own country. In this source it states that Coco was so passionate about her fashion that she became a Nazi agent in order to gain…

During a time of Nazi oppression and tyranny, the Jewish people decided to resist Hitler by either using passive or active resistance. The Jews that used active resistance chose to sacrifice their life to actively fight against Hitler’s party and avoid dying in humility in the gas chambers; whereas those who choose passive resistance choose to try to save their family, themselves, and the identity of their culture by hiding and keeping diaries. In the “The Diary of Anne Frank” and “Violins of…
