Nazi Party

When you hear the word Nazi, what do you think? Hitler? World War II? The Holocaust? That’s not what the Nazi party was supposed to be. It was supposed to be a political party to bring Germany out of the poverty of World War I and pride to the state of Germany.

The Nazis started off as an Anti-Communist and racist political party. After WWI the Nazi Party started to become big, they influenced a lot of the Germans then. One of the big people that influenced that growth of Naziism was Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, who was part of the Conservative Revolutionary Movement. He made the term “The Third Reich” and combined Socialism and Nationalism. It was created to keep the German workers away from the Communists.

Adolf Hitler was a World War I veteran who had received many awards. He joined the Nazi party in 1919 during a German labor party. However, he attempted to seize power in 1923, but failed and was put in jail. He was released in 1924. Then, he started to get higher and higher up until 1933 when he became the leader. Then, under the influence of Hitler, in 1939 the Nazis invaded Poland and the whole party went to war against UK and Poland. Meanwhile, the Nazis discriminated against those of Jewish heritage, even going so far as to kill and imprison them. This is one of the, if not the, most terrible things in history, known as the Holocaust. They also took over most of Europe unti the Russians and the other Allied forces closed them into their home land. WWll lasted from 1939-1945 and the most horrific things happened in history.
