HITLER'S RISE TO POWER
NSDAP
-
Key points of the NASDAP
point 23
We demand legal warfare on deliberate political mendacity and its dissemination in the press. To facilitate the creation of a German national press we demand
(a) that all editors of, and contributors to newspapers appearing in the German language must be members of the nation;
(b) that no non-German newspapers may appear without the express permission of the State. They must not be printed in the German language;
(c) that non-Germans shall be prohibited by law from participating financially in or influencing German newspapers, and that the penalty for contravening such a law shall be the suppression of any such newspaper, and the immediate deportation of the non-Germans involved.
The publishing of papers which are not conducive to the national welfare must be forbidden. We demand the legal prosecution of all those tendencies in art and literature which corrupt our national life, and the suppression of cultural events which violate this demand.
point 4
Only members of the nation may be citizens of the State. Only those of German blood, whatever be their creed, may be members of the nation. Accordingly, no Jew may be a member of the nation.
point 2
We demand equality of rights for the German people in its dealings with other nations, and the revocation of the peace treaties of Versailles and Saint-Germain.
Point 1
We demand the union of all Germany in a Greater Germany on the basis of the right of national self-determination.

The trial
After the kapp putsch, hitler and the other members of the nazi party who assisted in the putsch were arrested for high treason.
during the trial, Hitler gave a speech justifying the violence of the putsch
Hitler justified the violence of the kapp putsch by giving excuses for example: Hitler said that he (they):
- wanted to create order in the state
- wanted to take up the fight against international stock exchange slavery
- had a growing army
- were germans that wanted the best for their people and their fatherland
mein kampf policies
The Reichstag principle
Hitler argued that rebellion would never destroy the system, instead it would be necessary to enter the Reichstag - in other words- get elected then destroy the system from within
however the nazis remained a splinter party. In 1924 they had 5% of the seats in the Reichstag, in 1928 they had less than 2%! Even the communists had 4 times as many seats. The Stresemann prosperity was killing them.
The Fuhrer principle
to be successful, his party needed one all powerful leader - in other words - Hitler himself

Policies
propaganda was only effective if it's publicizing popular policies. The Nazis came up with policies that appealed to many ordinary Germans

propaganda
it was during the depression that the Nazis really started using propaganda - political advertising - effectively
this was particular to 1932 when Hitler ran for president and came a very close second to Hindenburg.
- Posters were made depicting Hitler as 'Germany's last hope'
- Planes were used to help him travel all over Germamy to deliver rousing speeches
- Radio was used to help him reach an even wider audiece

miscalculation
As well as persuing unpopular policies, the weimar republic made the terrible mistake in appointing hitler as chancellor in January 1933 - even though he had made it clear that he hated democracy. What makes this decision even more surprising is that
- support for the Nazi Party was declining
- Germany was coming out of the depression.
- President Hindenburg had nothing but contempt for hitler
