19. Jan 1919 Anton Drexler sets up the German Workers’ Party or DAP (Nationalist; anti- ToV; anti-Weimar Government) Hitler attends his first DAP meeting. Sep 1919 Feb 1920 Hitler becomes Drexler’s deputy. Together they draw up the 25 Point Plan… The birth of the Nazi Party 1919-1921 Spring/Summer 1920 Hitler becomes an excellent speaker. He exploits people’s anger toward Ebert and the Government. DAP membership grows… Summer 1920 Hitler leads: (i) name change to National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP or Nazi Party for short); and (ii) adoption of swastika as party emblem.

22. A Stormtrooper… from the Star Wars films…

23. Nazi “Stormtroopers” (Sturmabteilung or SA) Why did Hitler want his own army? Who do you think signed up (what types of men)? What do you think Hitler used them for? 2:001:591:581:571:561:551:541:531:521:511:501:491:481:471:461:451:441:431:421:411:401:391:381:371:361:351:341:331:321:311:301:291:281:271:261:251:241:231:221:211:201:191:181:171:161:151:141:131:121:111:101:091:081:071:061:051:041:031:021:011:000:590:580:570:560:550:540:530:520:510:500:490:480:470:460:450:440:430:420:410:400:390:380:370:360:350:340:330:320:310:300:290:280:270:260:250:240:230:220:210:200:190:180:170:160:150:140:130:120:110:100:090:080:070:060:050:040:030:020:01End

24. THE SA (STORMTROOPERS) The SA were the Nazis’ private Army – created in 1921 … recruited from ex-soldiers, unemployed and students… … provided security at Nazi meetings and bodyguards for Nazi leaders… … they broke up meetings of opposition groups… Germany was a democracy after WW1, with a national police force and national army (albeit only 100,000 men after ToV). How then did I get away with having my own private army?

25. FROM THIS SOURCE, WHAT DO YOU LEARN ABOUT THE SA (STORMTROOPERS)? The trouble began when my Stormtroopers attacked. Like wolves, they flung themselves in packs of 8 or 10 upon the enemy. After only 5 minutes I hardly saw one of them who was not covered in blood. The Hall looked like a bomb had hit it. Many of my supporters were injured. Others had to be driven away. But we had won the day.
