Rise and Effects Ot NazismEssay Preview: Rise and Effects Ot NazismReport this essayNazism, or National Socialism refers primarily to the totalitarian ideology and practices of the Nazi Party (National Socialist German Workers Party or NSDAPunder Adolf Hitler. It also refers to the policies adopted by the government of Germany from 1933 to 1945, a period in German history known as Nazi Germany or the “Third Reich”.
On January 5, 1919, the party was founded as the German Workers Party (DAP) by Anton Drexler along with just six other members.[1][2] Hitler, a corporal, was sent to investigate the party by German intelligence and was invited to join after impressing them with his speaking ability after getting into an argument with party members. Hitler later accepted the invitation and joined the party in September 1919,[2][3] and he became propaganda boss. The party was renamed the National Socialist German Workers Party on April 1, 1920, against Hitlers choice of Social Revolutionary Party.[4][5] Hitler became the party leader on July 29, 1921.[5][2]
Nazism was not a precise, theoretically grounded ideology, or a monolithic movement, but rather a combination of various ideologies and groups, centered around anger at the Treaty of Versailles and what was considered to have been a Jewish/Communist conspiracy to humiliate Germany at the end of the First World War. As Nazism became dominant in Germany, especially after 1933, it was defined in practice as whatever was decreed by the Nazi Party and in particular by the Fьhrer, Adolf Hitler. In 1934, after the Night of the Long Knives, Nazism split into two factions, the first was the nationalist-oriented faction led by Hitler which initiated and succeeded in violently purging the party of the socialist-oriented faction led by Gregor Strasser, his brother Otto and SA chief Ernst Rцhm, which later became known as Strasserism.
The Nazi group of Hitler’s NSDAP and the Workers’ Party of Germany began to reorganize themselves as the SS, NSDAP, and the SSW in August 1934. The National Socialist Workers’ and Allies, SSW, and National Socialist Union (NSU) merged under the title Red Army. During the first days of the war, the National Socialist Workers’ and Allies (NSW), which would become the NSDAP and the SSW in all their forms and identities, merged under the Nazi party that would become the Nazi party in 1933. In 1936, NSW announced their disbandment, and the NSDAP merged under the name Red Army. NSW became the NSDAP in 1949, followed by NSDAP in 1953, SSW in 1954, and NSDAP/SSW until the 1970s, when the two-party system was reformed and the party consolidated into the SS.
The Red Army and its affiliates organized a secret police force in the city of Cologne, while the NSDAP and its affiliates were still a small organization. They were led by Adolf Hitler, as well as by the ReichsfĂĽhrer, the infamous Nazi war criminal, and were known as “Hitler’s men in the streets”.[28] The Nazis could not afford the manpower to combat these men without making good on their promise to give women an in exchange for information. The NSDAP created a large number of local political police forces capable of taking over policing at local and state level.[29]
Communism and Nazism
The Nazi party, however, was actually a largely Catholic organization, and it was also very close with the Catholic elite during the war, and did not seek to establish relationships with other groups and factions. As a Catholic state, Germany would not allow the Catholic Christian Church to exist; Germany would only recognize their church as the only legitimate body for the protection and promotion of the state, thus forming a large Catholic Church. Hitler’s father ordered the construction of the German church.[30] In the 1920s, Germany sent some Christians to Spain for internment by Nazi regimes. Despite Nazi efforts to keep this information secret, the Jesuits and other Christians were not able to participate in the war effort or the Holocaust. The Jesuits were considered the first to escape from Nazi persecution, as their faith was very different from Catholicism. The Catholic church was also in the midst of a major civil war, and many Catholics believed that the Catholic state could prevent the civil war by keeping certain people out. Although Hitler himself did not approve of the Catholic faith in order to preserve a civil war, some of Hitler’s close associates and sympathizers saw an opportunity to protect Catholicism by keeping out Catholics. The Jesuits and other believers in the Catholic tradition were also part of the Nazi program.[31] Many Germans saw the Jesuits and all other Protestants as a threat to their survival as they viewed an expansionist state government in Germany and the Nazi state as an evil order of evil.
In 1943, Hitler appointed Catholic Cardinal Cardinal Franz Schuch. Schuch served as Hitler’s Cardinal in the United States during WWII, and helped shepherd Hitler’s efforts. He met with the SSW, N
