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.…

Adolf Hitler’s quest for totalitarian power over the whole world set in motion conquests that led to the Second World War, the effects of which are present to this day. Using the insult of Treaty of Versailles on Germany, the chaotic political system in Germany and the economic depression as a stepping stone, Hitler became the ultimate dictator of Germany. His greed for world domination also caused his defeat, forcing him to kill himself before the brink of defeat in the Second World War. Hitler, the ruthless dictator of Germany, began his rise to power during the period after the end of the First World War. It began with the rise of the Nazi Party, which was founded in March 1921, and whose symbol was a swastika.…
Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a political system where the state recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible.[2] Totalitarian regimes stay in political power through an all-encompassing propaganda campaign, which is disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, a single party that is often marked by political repression, personality cultism, control over the economy, regulation and restriction of speech, mass surveillance, and widespread use of terror.…

The Nazi Party had as its expectation the formation of what we would see as a totalitarian tyranny, yet the vital inquiry is the means by which far they accomplished this objective.…

The old view (historians in the 1950's) was that NAZI Germany was a "totalitarian" state. Hitler was the all-powerful dictator. Orders flowed downwards from Hitler. The system of government was like an efficient, well-oiled machine.…
In 1933, Adolf Hitler made his first move of his plan to conquer all by being appointed chancellor of Germany. Hitler left a mark on Germany, and other nearby nations, and therefore the nation’s history had been forever and vastly changed with one word that may be used to describe it at the time: dystopia. A dystopian society is the imbalance in which the government, more specifically, in Nazi Germany, and their leader, Adolf Hitler, made decisions that instilled fear towards their citizens. In analyzing this specific dystopian nation, one must evaluate the changes that Hitler enforced that were very influencing and controlling, the effects and impacts towards Germany and other allied countries’ people, and the genres of literature that may…

Adolf Hitler ruled Germany as her Führer for eleven years. For many, the Nazi Party’s relatively long time in power is surprising, or perplexing at best, due to their intense prejudices and barbarism. The most frequently applied reason for this is that the party stayed in power by using force. The late political scientist, Carl Friedrich, once described six major features of a totalitarian dictatorship- an official ideology, a single party, terroristic control by the police, monopolistic control over the media, a monopoly of arms and central control of the economy- which he believed were evident in Nazi Germany. However, historian Geoff Layton appears to disagree. He states that “Although the idea of Nazism as a form of totalitarianism held great sway in the 1950s, such a view is not now so readily accepted.” However, he also said that “there emerged in the SS an organisation which was the mainstay of the Third Reich” which would supports the view that force was the main factor in keeping the Nazi Party in power. This essay intends to analyse the significance of force as a tool to stay in power, through their creation of a Police State, the reformation of the German Courts as well as their elimination of both external and internal political opposition and their indoctrination of the German youth. It will also be necessary to analyse the various other factors which were employed by the Nazi Party between 1931 and 1939 such as control of the economy.…
