The rising of Hitler and the NSDAP

"Handel en herdruk van Mein Kampf zijn in Nederland nog altijd verboden, hoewel onder de titel Mijn strijd enkele jaren geleden wel een wetenschappelijke editie verscheen. Ieder origineel hoofdstuk wordt hierin voorafgegaan door een inleiding waarin historici de tekst van Hitler in historische context plaatsen."

What do you think about a book being forbidden?

The rising of Hitler and the NSDAP

The NSDAP was a  authoritarian and nationalistic party that did not believe in democracy. 

Hitler wanted a strong Germany. His main political points were:

1. Getting rid of the Treaty of Versailles 

2. Getting rid of the Republic

3. No more unemployment 

The rising of Hitler and the NSDAP

The NSDAP became very popular, not only among workers, but also young people. Why?

1. Hitlers speeches were very impressive

2. Propaganda > Joseph Goebbels

3. Intimidation and violence in the streets

The struggle of Germany

Hitler blames all his political opponents. 

The NSDAP intimidate the other political parties so that they agree with the enabling act (Machtigingswet.) 

This law gives all the power to Hitler and the NSDAP without having to discuss with the parliament.
