Hitler's Loyalty
“Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.” - Mark Twain. During the Holocaust, people followed Hitler seeking help because he told them he would help them out of the Treaty Of Versailles. Hitler kept most people not informed about the bad things he was doing so they followed him blindly thinking he was helping them. The bad things the people were kept oblivious about were Hitler killing Jews and restricting them from everyday things, even though the hurt and discriminated people still followed him. Before you are loyal to someone, make sure you really know them so you don’t blindly follow

    1984 Quotes

    Germans in the Hitler era were too patriotic to Hitler because they thought of him and his Nazis as Gods. Before Hitler became into power Germany was suffering extreme debt similar to the Proles. The Jewish people were being taken and never heard of again similar to the rebellious comrades. The Germans were easily manipulated by the food and the “services” that Hitler and his Nazis provided for them exactly like the Proles in 1984. The German citizens easily outnumbered the Nazis but they were too ignorant and naïve to see the larger picture of the real evil that the Nazis were creating in the concentration camps. The Germans were oblivious to looking at the bigger picture of the Nazis’ real evil even when the concentration camps were down the street, in their backyard, or even in plain sight…

    The Holocaust is perhaps one of the most gruesome events that has ever taken place. Adolf Hitler was the mastermind behind the systematic, bureaucratic, and barbaric persecution that murdered six million Jews for no reason. When he became leader he had only one mission and that was to have an exceptional race and he would do everything to achieve it. The Nazis who came into power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were racially superior and that the Jews were inferior and posed as a threat to the German community. Adolf and his “loyal” followers managed to instill fear in many Jews causing many to flee to safer havens. Other that weren’t as lucky fell into the hands of that Nazi regime. Those Jews that were persecuted and captured…

    How was Hitler able to capture the hearts of so many people? Through propaganda. Through a detailed, psychologically advanced, and twistingly genius comprehension of what the German people needed. In the middle of the grim, gray, and gloomy society in Germany, he stood out as someone who was young and enthusiastic--a man who was genuinely interested in the well being of his country. He rose to power very strategically, first getting the Nazi name out there and then eventually using the good guy image to propel himself to the very top.…

    Looking back at the events that occurred during our history, particularly during World War II, many of the people often reflect back and ask the question, ‘Who let a man like Hitler come into power or what made the German people decide to follow him? The seeds of Hitler's rise to power were planted following the outcome of the First World War. Hitler’s rise to power was not inevitable. It depended heavily on a range of factors, events and circumstances.…

    From the September 1st 1939, the start of the war, loyalty was crucial to the Nazi regime in order to maintain the war effort back in Nazi Germany, especially until the point of early 1943, when they were defeated in Stalingrad. This question is difficult to answer as you can’t be certain whether or not people really supported the regime, or just pretended to, in fear that if they didn’t then they would be reported to the Gestapo. This is also makes the support the Nazis had difficult to measure as civilians may have just been ‘reluctantly loyal’, and in fact didn’t actually support what the regime were doing. The word ‘support’ in relation to the question, means to me that a particular social group conformed with the Nazi regime, with no protesting and no opposition, by early 1943. I will refer back to this when answering the question in relation to each social group.…

    Hitlers Tactics

    • 316 Words
    • 1 Page

    Hitler was a gifted orator who captivated many with his beating of the lectern and growling, emotional speech .One of the tactics used by Hitler was inspirational tactics. Hitler often praised Christian heritage, German Christian culture, and professed a belief in Jesus Christ. In his speeches and publications Hitler spoke of Christianity as a central motivation for his anti-Semitism. In Hitler's conception Jews were enemies of all civilization. So, in his public speeches, he influences others emotionally by stating that Jesus is a fighter against the Jews. He became adept at telling people what they wanted to hear for example, the Jewish-Marxist plot to conquer the world, and the betrayal of Germany in the Versailles treaty. By the reason of hatred on Jews, Hitler had killed thousands of Jews throughout his ruling.…

    -It was possible for many perpetrators to avoid killing Jews-not a single German perpetrator was ever seriously punished for refusing to kill Jews (yet chose to destroy them anyway)-It has been the unspoken practice of so many scholars to all but ignore-Germans’ cruelty towards Jews was voluntary, widespread, sustained, incentive, and gleeful. Such gratuitous cruelty could have been produced only by people who approved of what they were doing-ordinary Germans degraded brutalized and killed Jews willingly because of their hatred of Jews-27% of those at the end of the war admit that they knew the extermination of Jews was taking place-Germans expressed different degrees of dissent to different policies yet virtually no dissent existed against the eliminationist persecution of the Jews-If Germans had been genuinely opposed, Hitler would have never been able to continue the murder mass-German perpetrators were like the perpetrators of other mass slaughters; the vast majority of them were willing executioners NO-old belief is made of abstract faceless structures and institutions greatly exaggerated -any people from any era with any set of beliefs about Jew (even non anti Semites) would have acted in exactly the same manner with the same brutality, zeal, and laughter-those who acquired Jewish property generally did so innocently -they disapproved of what they were doing but were forced-blindly obedient pressured to act as they did -did not know that their countrymen were killing…

    No serious thinker has done more unintentional harm to the Jewish people than Friedrich Nietzsche. Following his death, Nietzsche’s writings served as an inspiration and philosophical justification for Adolf Hitler and Nazism. Quite paradoxically, Nietzsche was far from anti-Semitic; in fact, many considered Nietzsche to be one of the more pro-Jewish philosophers of his era. Although Nietzsche’s position against anti-Semitism seems clear in the second and the third essay of The Genealogy of Morals, it is possible to misconstrue comments within the first essay as anti-Semitic. Yet considering the totality of Nietzsche’s writing in his The Genealogy of Morals, the Nazis wrongly regarded…

    As a Nationalist, Hitler believed that Germans were superior to others. In his beliefs if he molded Germany to be a perfect race, they would be far more superior then anyone in the world. In order to have his perfect Aryan race, he wanted to get rid of anyone that stood in his way. The large populations of Jews were like lice to Hitler and he wanted them all gone. “And we say that the war will not end as the Jews imagine it will, namely with the uprooting of the Aryans, but the result of this war will be the complete annihilation of Jews” (The Holocaust, Hitler). Being persuasive with the people of Germany, it was no problem for him to gain loyalty from his officers. Hitler was able to gain officers that respected his orders and never dared to break them.…

    Loyalty was a major issue in the United States during World War II and the subsequent years following. This was especially true in California, where Japanese Americans were held in internment camps during the war because many felt that their loyalty was to Japan and not the United States. This caused many problems for the Japanese American citizens, as they were subjected to loyalty tests and forced draft programs into the armed forces. Those who opposed the American Government and their tactics were sent to work camps and their families were broken apart. This also raised issues as to how our government operates. Since the Army was now able to arrest and punish these people, it took away power from our more diplomatic…

    There is no individuality, no uniqueness in a sense, every one follows the people around them. “But still more it was an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise… Of course he chanted with the rest: it was impossible to do otherwise. To dissemble your feelings, to control your face, to do what everyone else was doing, was an instinctive reaction” (11). By doing this, it made people think they believed something that they may not. Similarly, Hitler had his own rallies in which he convinced the people that Jews were the cause of all the problems. Even though one person might not have believed it, he saw the people around him all worshipping Hitler, and he just wanted to fit in. Clearly, in a totalitarian government, fitting in is not always the best idea, because the default characteristics will most likely be…

    In an idealistic world we would use our negative liberty and given right, to speak freely without consequence; yet, the right to speak freely should be imposed on by positive liberties and considered in terms of the potential to elicit harm or offence to others in society. Restricting individuals on their speech based on their level of social influence is practicable, as the more influence they have, the greater the potential for harm and offence to others. There is a need to not just preserve society, but also to protect those not yet matured; at the same time, individuals, of any level of influence, have the right to express their own opinion. Expression of opinion is important in the growth of both individuals and society; as in effect,…

    Hitler made it almost impossible to say anything against the Nazi party without it getting reported. The public was fearful of the consequences of speaking out. The Nazis gave many awful incentives to follow what Hitler wanted. Parades were held where German citizens were beaten, covered in white powder, drug down the street, and mocked. These parades would be done to someone who did nothing wrong, however they may have done something such as marry a Jew. Anna Rath is was the victim of one of these parades; yet seeing the brutalities she was facing, no one helped her even though all she did was marry a Jew. (Teaching a Lesson, 82-84) Another example of obedience Hitler inforced is the Hitler Youth. “Heil Hitler” was a saying that was constantly reinforced around children. Some parents taught their babies how to say “Heil Hitler” before “Mama”. Young children were sent to camps to learn how to be good Nazis. Parents were expected to send their children to these camps and if they did not they could get reported. Once the children came back from the camp, they were conditioned as a Nazi and if they reported bad talk about the Nazis, they would get rewarded. Often times children would report their own parents. (Models of Obedience, 111-118) This started a spread of fear among the German public. The fear maintained the obedience of the public and gave Hitler a large amount of power. I believe that…
