The third Reich
Hitler was a veteran of WWI who fought under the German army.
Hitler expected the German army, or Wehrmacht, to be the backbone of his aggressive foreign policy and conquest of territories. He believed that the army would secure and expand German living space, or "Lebensraum," through military force. Hitler viewed the army as vital for the domination and control of Europe under Nazi Germany.
After WW1, Germany was going through very hard times. Recall: the treaty of verailles. Hitler became a German dictator when he wrote the book: Mein Kamf. He became Chancellor of Germany as German people were desperate and Hitler claimed he could bring Germany back to 'greatness'. A group of German people that were very desperate and thought Hitler was their answer, were the Nazi's. They took control of the government creating a Facist Germany. They believed they could turn Germany into the greatest country under Hitler. Hitler stated in Mein Kampf that groups but mostly the Jewish group were their enemies. This resulted in the Holocaust. They wanted to make Germany great, creating a sense of purity and the Jewish people were supposedly considered the enemies that would stop them from doing this.
