11
Discuss in your groups GIVE ME THREE THINGS YOU KNOW ABOUT HITLER
13
Adolf was the son of Alois and Klara Hitler His Father’s original family name was “Schicklgruber” but changed his name when he was 40 Adolf was born on April 20, 1889 in Braunau, Austria He had a step-brother and step-sister from his father’s previous marriage. He also had 5 siblings, all except one died in childhood. From an early age, Hitler though he was special, being the only surviving boy of the family.
14
High school dropout Father died when he was 14 Mother died when he was 18 Aspiring artist but rejected from Vienna Art School
16
Never held a job, inherited money from the death of parents and wealthy aunt Moved to Vienna and lived in flophouses and hostels -> What are they? Spend his days daydreaming, going to the theatre, and drawing at street corners for extra cash
17
Hitler became fascinated with the radical Nationalist and anti-Jewish philosophies that existed in Vienna (anti-Semitic) This is where the foundation of his beliefs in war and racial hatred were built He made crazy plans and dreamed of greatness Constantly talking to anyone who would listen to him When WWI started, Hitler was very excited He moved to Germany and sought special permission to fight in the German Army
19
Spent 4 years as a Communications runner (Passaging msg’s between fronts) Promoted to Corporal and received 2 medals for bravery However, he was a misfit and had trouble making friends with the men in his unit Wounded twice – grenade shrapnel in the leg and a gas attack that left him temporarily blinded
20
This is a Shrapnel shell
22
Hitler was devastated when he heard the news of the German surrender He was appalled at the anti- war sentiment among the German civilians Believed there was an anti-war conspiracy that involved the Jews and Marxists (Thought they were influencing the Germans to surrender) Also, felt that the German military did not lose the war, but that the politicians (mostly Jews) at home were responsible for the defeat. The ALLIES
23
Hitler remained in the German Army and became an “educational officer” His main job was to spy on the political organizations popping up all over Germany As part of his job, he came across a group of men who called themselves the “National Socialist German Workers Party” or NSDAP Hitler was so impressed with these men, he left the army and decided to join them Within months Hitler became the leader of the party Hitler was a great speaker and had a clear vision for Germany-> This is important
24
HE’S ANGRY HE FOUND THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY AND BECOMES ITS LEADER GERMANY IS UNSTABLE (politics and economics) What do you think happens?
26
Hitler began to think big for the German Worker’s Party Began placing ads for meetings in anti- Semitic newspapers Hitler changed the name to National Socialist German Worker’s Party or the NAZIS
27
Hitler drafted a platform of 25 points which: Revoked the Versailles Treaty Revoked civil rights of the Jews Confiscated any war profits
28
Revenge on France and Britain Breaking the Treaty of Versailles German’s were not responsible for losing the war, they were stabbed in the back by traitors at home (Jews and Communists) The meaning of life was the struggle between races Conflict is the natural state of man
29
Germans were the greatest of all races: “Aryans” - tall, blonde, blue-eyed and strong - supermen Racial Purity should be preserved Jews were the lowest of all – an anti race – put on earth in infect pure races – they should be destroyed Christianity was invented by Jews to keep people weak Children should be raised to be like wild animals Women were little more than baby machines
31
REICH MEANS NATION or REALM
32
WITH MORE THAN GERMANY, HE WANTS WHAT THEY LOST
33
SO HE TRIES TO TAKE POWER BY FORCE
34
The Nazis try and fail to take over the government in 1923 (Beer Hall Putsch, 2000 men) Hitler was arrested and put on trial Hitler used the trail to attack the government and promoted his philosophies His speeches were published in newspapers and he soon became a national hero Hitler was convicted and sent to jail (served 9 months of 5 years) While in jail, Hitler wrote his book “Mein Kampf” or My Struggle It became a national best seller
36
HIS BOOK MAKES HIM EXTREMELY POPULAR What happens next: A)Goes back to jail and writes another book B)Goes back to school, becomes an artist C)He becomes more popular and takes power
37
He re-gains popularity after to Germany economy collapses again in 1929 He forms the “S.A.” a street gang of over one million men and battles communist for control of the streets (Brown shirts) The Nazis win the most seats in the elections in 1930 and again in 1933 Hitler is appointed chancellor in 1933 In 1935, the President dies and Hitler combines the two positions and become the “Fuhrer” or Leader He makes all other political parties illegal and stops further elections
38
I THINK IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT HITLER HAS ABOSOLUTE POWER But why was the NAZI PARTY SO APPEALING? Equality Progress Community Promises Belonging Greater cause Order Symbolic He really does…
39
