Nazi Germany

During most of World War II, Nazi Germany was at the height of power. By this time they had conquered most of Eastern Europe. However on June 22nd 1941, Hitler began the largest military movement in history, the invasion of the Soviet Union. Even though Hitler had signed a Soviet-Union Non-Aggression pact he began the invasion. Hitler had always showed his hatred of the Jewish people in his book Mein Kampf. Although the invasion of the Soviet Union was the largest military movement in history, it

Through speeches, newspapers, magazines, and posters the Nazis disseminated their views as well as their opposition to anyone who could not fit the mold of Adolf Hitler’s ideal Aryan Race. Hitler viewed this racial group as the dominant race above all others and excluded the rest of the nation as insignificants

Mothers and Their Roles in Nazi Germany I am here today to discuss how gender played a critical role in the construction of the Nazi State, prior to 1938. Specifically, I would like to focus my analysis on how and why the Nazis constructed a conception of motherhood that defined the mother in relation to the state. For our purposes today, we will examine two ideal German mothers and explore their similarities in order to understand how and why the Nazis perceived mothers as public agents

In Nazi Germany, during Adolf Hitler’s reign, from 1933-1945, Jonas Müller was a prominent member of the Nazi party. His peers considered him a leader because he was Hitler’s right hand man when it came to tactical plans and military strategies. Jonas, so dedicated to the cause, would kill himself in the end after learning of his commander’s own suicide. The story of his life is one of dedication and passion for a political party that was taking over Europe by brute force. Jonas Müller, best known

Also it is a representation of censorship. The drive behind such acts can either be political, cultural, or religious resistance to the material in question. The purpose of the Nazi book burning was to destroy all ideologies that were considered to be un-German. In 1933, university students were on a mission to cleanse Germany of Jewish intellectual ideas (Fishburn, 2007). They believe that the book burning would keep the German literature and language from external influences. The majority of the

The decrease in the unemployment rate that Germany presented, however, was misleading. Dan Silverman talks about this and how they manipulated the statistics to be more presentable to the world. He talks about a theory that suggests that Hitler counted relief workers as “employed” which makes the statistics skew towards a decrease in unemployment where that isn’t actually the case. This statistical manipulation was thought by the Nazi party to change the spirit of the people, and it did exactly that

When a country, like France, experiences freedom and it’s taken away, they want it back. They long to have that freedom again. The Nazis took it away, so some of the French people resisted. They decided to maintain “a positive attitude toward a country that, more than any other, offered freedom and the chance for a decent life.” People didn’t want to give up the opportunity for a decent

experimentation is ethical and happens under supervised, and controlled conditions with the consent of the person. This wasn’t the case in Nazi Germany. The Nazi’s performed some of the most inhumane, disturbing human experiments documented by man. The Nazi’s saw their extermination camps as a prime place for scientific experiments to advance their military and Nazi racial ideology. Prisoners were forced to participate in the experiments and usually died as an effect. If the subject lived, the results

Societies flourish and fall, all of them do. They fight and suffer and even kill to keep their society alive. As a result, societies like ancient Rome and Nazi Germany, eventually fall and crumble. Over time some of these societies recover, but are never the same again. Societies fail due to political corruption, loss of resources and war. These obstacles are hard to overcome, but not impossible. These obstacles weaken and tear at societies, until they finally break, turning them into a piece of

how the Nazi Party retained its almost paradoxical hold on the populace through paranoia and fear and how years of scapegoating fed a parasitic internal distrust embedded deep within Nazi Germany. To adopt the economic perspective required for viewing 1940s Nazi Germany through the lens of Marxist alienation, the Nazi regime must be abstractified and analyzed as a business, and its subjects as laborers. The Nazi regime, like a business, has only one purpose: obtaining value. For the Nazi regime
