Hitler's Rise to Power

Paper Summary:

This paper traces Adolph Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s, noting that Hitler was a great public speaker, which is one of the reasons why he was able to rise to power so swiftly.

Finally, the paper relates that in 1933, a law was passed that made the dictatorship of Adolph Hitler legal.

From the Paper:

"Adolph Hitler's rise to power began in 1930 when the Nazi Party began its campaign, traveling all over Germany making speeches and meeting the citizens. This hands on approach was something different for the German people, as the ruling party had not done these types of things. One thing that Hitler's speeches did was give the people hope, as the country was locked in the grip of the Great Depression and poverty and hunger were widespread problems. Hitler's speeches were vague and they did not really promise anything specific, but Hitler's great power was his ability to control an audience through his speeches. He was a great public speaker, which is one of the reasons why he was able to rise to power so swiftly."
