The beginning of the Nazi Party
In the 1920's Hitler joined the German Workers party (anti-weimar republic)
He soon became its leader
Changed its name to the National Socialist German Workers Party (As far right wing as you get, yet they were appealing to the workers with this name, pretending they were a socialist party.) (NAZI)
This party created the browhshirts S.A. led by Ernst Rohm (pervert) a paramilitary fore designed after mussolinis blackshirts
1928, 12 Nazis are elected to Reichstag
didn't have a lot of support in 1928
but from 1928 to 1933, it took them 5 years to attain ultimate power.
Great depression hits. Huge cause in terms of them gaining support during the great depression helped the rise of nazism gain support.
Hitlers henchmen would force people or make voters vote and manipulate the elections.
Steps to power 1928 (12 seats)
1930 - 107 seats
1932- 230 seats (largest party although not majority)
President Hindenburg refused to give Hitler the Chancellorship
1932 (second election) Nazis fall to 198 seats
Hidenburg chooses Hitler as Chancellor as a tool against the communists
In 1933 the German parliment (reichstag) was burnt to the ground!! the person convicted of this crime was a dutch communist.
The Nazi's set fire to the parliment, blamed it on the communists.
The Enabling act afreed to by the Reichstag in 1933 under threats
The Night of the Long Knives: Hitler has a few threats within his own party. Hitler goes after anyone inside the nazi party who he thinks is a threat to him. Kills off ernst rohm. Used the S.A. (brownshirts to get to this point) then he makes his own group called the SS.
A month later Hindenburg dies and an 'election' was held which voted Hitler in as President. 99.9% people voted Hitler into power. He got rid of everything and called himself the Furer. Came into power legally as a totalitariansm empire.
The army was one over by the nazi's making hitlers election easier.
