Answer 2

Nazism

Nazism, the word for National Socialist Party, effected Germany when Adolf Hitler came into power. When President Hindenburg fell ill, and died, he appointed Hitler as chancellor of Germany. Little did he know, Hitler was an experienced soldier, and believed the "aryan" race of "blonde haired, blue eyed people" will "rule Germany".

In the years that followed his superiority grew as he claimed: "Homosexuals, Specially Challenged People, Gypsies, and the most, Jews, enemies of our (Germany) Motherland...". He, in the year of 1939, Hitler had the famous: Nuremberg Rally. This rally was held to bring all of his people together with his NAZI Force. His Propaganda ideas spread saying "Support the Hitler Youth"(He drafted 12-16 year olds as morale bands or child soldiers). His reign lifted each victory.

When the Nazis invaded Poland, and rounded up the enemies for his destiny of The Holocaust, his reign grew too empowering over the Nazi-Germany people. When he lost in the Battle for Stalingrad when Russia fought back and the French Undergorund took out his strongholds in France, the people also saw the horror of his ideas. Their feelings towards a Racist and True Aryan Empire, was total Hell, and fought back.

The Allies invaded Germany freeing thousands of Prisoners during the Holocaust including Auschwitz, and other areas of trapped people. When the conspiracy of Hitler's death spread, the whole Nazi movement changed the lives of the people. They now hated him murdering several of Hitler's men and followers including: Heinrich Himmler, Herman Goering of the German Luftwaffe, and many others.

The effects Nazism has today also in Germany was many hatred amongst races of people. But also the people whom hate Nazism are similar to those that were Anti-Nazis during Hitler's reign. Neo-Nazis who are Nazis but American/Believers in Nazism including the White Wolves all believe in KKK doings and anything against African-Americans, Jews, Homosexuals, and many other people mostly now Middle East-Americans.

Answer 5

1 Nazi Party members

were especially happy - they got all the best houses, preferential treatment, good jobs in the government and power over other people.

2 Ordinary people

For ordinary people, life was good, and many Germans even today look back and remember the years before 1939 as happy years:

Nazi economic policies gave full employment (work programmes/ Strength through Joy), prosperity and financial security - many observers stated that there seemed to be no poverty in Germany,

the Strength through Joy programme (KdF) gave some people fun and holidays.

the 'Beauty of Work' movement (SdA) gave people pride in what they were doing.

Law and Order (few people locked their doors),

autobahns improved transport,

frequent ceremonies, rallies, colour and excitement,

Nazi propaganda gave people hope,

Nazi racial philosophy gave people self-belief

Trust in Adolf Hitler gave a sense of security (one German woman told the American reporter Nora Wall: 'He is my mother and my father. He keeps me safe from all harm.')

There were few drawbacks: Wages fell, and strikers could be shot - the Nazis worked closely with the businessmen to make sure that the workforce were as controlled as possible.

Loss of personal freedoms (eg freedom of speech).

All culture had to be German - eg music had to be Beethoven or Wagner or German folk songs - or Nazi - eg all actors had to be members of the Nazi party/ only books by approved authors could be read.

3 Women

The Nazis were very male-dominated and anti-feminist. Nazi philosophy idealised the role of women as child-bearer and creator of the family:

The Law for the Encouragement of Marriage gave newly-wed couples a loan of 1000 marks, and allowed them to keep 250 marks for each child they had.

Mothers who had more than 8 children were given a gold medal. But not all women were happy with the Nazi regime:

Job-discrimination against women was encouraged. Women doctors, teachers and civil servants were forced to give up their careers.

Women were never allowed to serve in the armed forces - even during the war.

4 Youth

Most German young people were happy:

Nazi culture was very youth-oriented.

The HJ provided exciting activities for young boys.

The HJ and the BDM treated young men and women as though they were special, and told then they had knew more then their parents.

Many parents were frightened that their children would report them to the Gestapo, which gave young people a power that they enjoyed. But not all young people were happy with the Nazi regime:

SOME girls were unhappy with the emphasis on the three Cs (Church, children, cooker).

Girls who were regarded as true Aryan girls were sent off to special camps where they were bred (like farm animals) with selected 'Aryan' boys.

Towards the end of the war, youth gangs such as the Eidelweiss Pirates grew up, rejecting the HJ and Nazi youth culture, drinking and dancing to American jazz and 'swing' music.

In Cologne in 1944 they sheltered army deserters and even attacked the Gestapo.

If they were caught, they were hanged.

5 Opponents

The Nazi's used 'fear and Horror' against anyone who disapproved of their regime:

Hitler banned all Trade Unions on 2 May 1933. Their offices were closed, their money confiscated, and their leaders put in prison.

Communists were put into concentration camps or killed.

Many Protestant pastors such as Dietrich Bonhoffer were persecuted and executed.

Each block of flats had a 'staircase ruler' who reported grumblers to the police - they were arrested and either murdered, or sent to concentration camps.

Children were encouraged to report their parents to the Gestapo if they criticized Hitler or the Nazi party.

But remember that: Many Germans welcomed this because it brought political stability after the Weimar years.

6 Untermensch

The Nazi regime despised many groups which it thought were racially or socially inferior (untermensch = subhuman) - people they called the 'germs of destruction'.

Groups which were persecuted and killed included:

Jews, such as Anne Frank, whom the Germans systematically persecuted, were forced into walled ghettos, put into concentration camps, and used for medical experiments. In the end the Nazis devised the Final Solution of genocide - it was the Holocaust.

Gypsies were treated almost as badly as the Jews - 85% of Germany's gypsies were killed.

Black people were sterilized and killed.

5000 mentally disabled babies were killed 1939-45.

72,000 mentally ill patients were killed 1939-41.

Physically disabled people and families with hereditary illness were sometimes sterilized. 300,000 men and women were sterilized 1934-45.

Some deaf people were sterilised and put to death.

Beggars, homosexuals, prostitutes, alcoholics, pacifists, hooligans and criminals were also regarded as anti-social, and they were put in concentration camps.
