How did the Nazi the party form and evolve?

Answer 1

The Nazi party was formed in 1918 and grew out of smaller political groups which formed in the final years of World War 1, all with a nationalist orientation. The party was intially called the German Workers' Party (DAP), but changed its name to the National Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (Nazi) in 1920.

Anton Drexler formed a branch of the Free Committee for a German Workers' Peace on 7 March 1918 and on 5 January 1919 a new political party, which became the Nazi party, was formed out of this branch. This political party was based on ideas of opposing the Treaty of Versailles, being anti-Semitic and viewing Germans as part of the Aryan or master race of the world.

Initially the DAP was a very small party with fewer than 60 members. Nevertheless, it still attracted attention of German authorities and a young corporal, Adolf Hitler, was sent to investigate the DAP. Hitler then got involved in a heated argument while attending one of DAP's public events and made an impression on the DAP members because of his oratory skills. Hitler was then invited to join DAP by Drexler and he became the party's 55th member. Hitler then started to do a lot of propoganda work for the party and eventually became its main speaker. He became the chairman of the party on 28 July 1921.

During 1921 and 1922 the Nazi party grew significantly and after Hitler was released from prison in December 1924, afther the beerhall putsch, the Nazi party became less of a paramilitary organisation and eventually rose to power in 1933 with Hitler becoming the Chancellor of Germany in 1933. The Nazi party was the ruling party in Germany from 1933 to 1945.
