Nazi Party

some were, there were many trials across Europe, but it was hard to find evidence about specific people. Also as they could not be found guilty for only 'following orders' evidence had to be found that they did more, or took glee in their actions.

All rights including the right to live or exist

Only one concentration camp was converted into a death camp, or rather it was expanded and a death camp was added, this was Auschwitz. The death camps that were had served their purpose, they were created to murder those Jews in the ghettos, when this was done, they were dismantled. There was still a need for a killing centre and with good rail connections and access to coal, Auschwitz was a good location.

The Nazi's strongly believed in evolutionary racial heirarchy. With the Northern European races (particularly Scandinavian) being the most superior and advanced and the Jews at the bottom of the racial heirarchy. The Nazi's tried to use science to back-up their theories. The Nazis finally decided that they wanted to wipe out the lowest races which led to the murder of millions of Jews in the holocaust.

The word "Nazi" is a political term, meaning someone who belonged to the National Socialist German Workers' Party before or during World War II. The extent to which this influenced one's life would depend upon whether he was a member of Hitler's administration, or a Brownshirt, or an SS soldier. All of these were Nazis.

nazis (the national socialist german workers party) were an anti-semetic, anti-marxist, and anti-democratic party led by adolf hitler. they were the fascist party that ruled germany both militarily and politically from 1933 through 1945

Nazi's had a few different uniform types. They came in tan, khaki, and dark blue. There were also a few different hat types, the main ones being a hat resembling that of an airline pilot or a round helmet. They also used various symbols on their uniforms, the most recognizable being swastikas and skulls.

The S.A. was the Nazi party's secret police. They went out and assassinated MANY political opponents of the Nazis up until 1934, when Hitler felt that they were getting too powerful and led a miniature civil war of sorts against them to squash them.

They used the word Euthanasie. As a result the word is 'tainted', and in current contexts the Germans use the word Sterbehilfe - assisted death.

Yes, government officials were paid by the NSDAP and workers were paid through the companies that worked for the benefit of the Reich. Think of it as any modern system of government with the exception of strict government control and policies.

There were many Nazi camps, you need to give the context of where you lifted the question from.

The party headed by Hitler from 1921-1945 was disbanded by the Allies in 1945.

Unfortunately it is still very much in existence. It goes through periods of growth and shrinking...and from recent reports, may well be becoming more popular again.

The American Nazi party has many branches aound the country, and occasionaly has public rallies or tries running a candidate for office someplace. It is also a major gang type group among inmates in the Prision system.

The Nazis may have been defeated in WW2 in Germany, etc., but that does not mean all those supporting it changed their ways by any means. In fact, many of those who led the most terrible aspects of the WW2 era Nazi, were given help and hiding and even an esteemed place, by others throughout the world. It's fair to say those that supported them and helped them, while maybe not war criminals, still believed in what the goals were.

In my own travels through Germany/Austria/etc., I would frequently meet people, (owners and patrons of little B&B type places, restaurants, bars, etc.) who were still happy and fervant in expressing their being a Nazi, and if they were older generation, still upset that the war was lost. While not all follow along, its reasonable these people would teach their children the beliefs too.

No, the idea(s) didn't end with the war...and those with the belief are still ready to force it upon us all again....as soon as we forget and look away.

No. Originally he was sent by the German Army to spy on its immediate forerunner, the Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei (DAP). It was renamed in 1920, and Hitler made himself leader of the party in 1921.

The Nazis took people like Jews, gays, blacks and who ever was against them and threw them in concentration camps. The Nazis also took anything that belong to those people like gold, jewelry, and clothes and then sold them to the German public for cheap prices.

A Nazi is a member of the National Socialist Party in the years of 1929-1945 plus all those that were sympathisers/supporters/informants.

The number of members increased heavily from 1933 onwards because in the Dictatorship under Adolf Hitler, members got preferential treatment and many professions you could not get into if you were not a member.

Therefore some of the people in the Army/Navy/Airforce were Nazis, but not all, many bureaucrats and mayors, were Nazis, many teachers, entrepreneurs etc.

The general membership of the Nazi Party, known as the Parteimitglieder, mainly consisted of the urban and rural lower middle classes. 7% belonged to the upper class, another 7% were peasants, 35% were industrial workers and 51% were what can be described as middle class.

When it came to power in 1933, the Nazi Party had over 2 million members. Once in power, it attracted many more members and by the time of its dissolution it had 8.5 million members. Many of these were nominal members who joined for careerist reasons,but the party had an active membership of at least a million, including virtually all the holders of senior positions in the national government.

No, Nazi Germany never invaded Sweden.

Resistance organisations in Nazi-occupied Europe did different things. Actions ranged from the distribution of anti-Nazi propaganda and hiding of Allied personnel and refugees to espionage and armed uprisings in occupied areas and extermination camps.

There are three possible answers that fit like a matroshka doll in that the answers to each should be reiterated in subsequent lists. The answer to this question depends on whether Jew-killing was 1) strictly genocidal attacks on civilians targeted intentionally because they were Jewish 2) could be Jewish Civilians or Jewish soldiers who were killed intentionally because they were Jewish or 3) any conflict or engagement that resulted in killed Jews.

1) Other Jewish genocides, progroms, and attacks against innocent (or politically and militarily inactive Jewish populations) included: the Spanish Inquisition, the Russian Pogroms (like Kishinev), the British Expulsions, the Modern Iraqi and Syrian Pogroms, the post-Algerian Independence Pogroms, the Assyrian Invasions of the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah, the Crusaders' Invasion of Jerusalem, and numerous others.

2) Attacks on both civilian and militant Jews who were targeted on account of their Jewish heritage included: All of the Israeli Engagements, Inter-War Algerian Independence Attacks, Alfred Dreyfus Affair, and several others. The reason that this category is not terribly populated is that Jews did not often have the right to carry weapons.

3) Attacks that resulted in Jewish deaths where Jews were not specifically targeted included: the Mongol Conquest, French Revolution, Russian Revolution, the American Civil War, the Sepoy Mutiny, and numerous others.

NAZI was the German acronym for "National Socialist Workers Party". Since the words were all in German, the acronym came out "NAZI".

They got deafeted at the end of world war two because many parties turned against them

No, after Hitler got back from fighting in World War One, he joins the National Socialist German Workers Party which was called NAZI as a slang term. Hitler joined the party and quickly became an important member of the party.
