The Rise of Nazism in Thalburg
In 1930
When Hitler got released from prison on December 20, 1924, I was optimistic that things would change. The major event that made most of us change perceptions on the potency of this party is the fact that Hitler managed to convince the Bavarians to lift the NSDAP ban. It was also apparent on the intentions of the party since the new leader, Hitler, disavowed plans of grasping power through force. I have been confident in the leadership of Hitler from as early as 1925 when he assured political and economic stability of the nation. However, the most essential factor that accelerated my trust on the party is the fading of extremist upsurges thereby, promising the reduction and ultimate seize of upsurges of revolutions or adventures of such kinds (Chris, 2011). Currently, the leadership structure of the party shows how potent and visionary it is. After Hitler, there is the nominal Deputy Party Leader called Rudolf Hess. However, it is surprising that he has no particular role designated for him in the party. However, other senior leaders in the party include Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, and Hermann Göring (Richard, 2018). Under the so-called “Leadership Corps” are regional leaders known as the “Gauleiters.” Every Gauleiter commands the party in his region, also known as the “Gau.” As I have described, it is noticeable, how strictly hierarchical the party’s structure is. Orders come from Hitler himself and the subjects portray uttermost loyalty. Currently, the “Hitler salute” – “Heil Hitler!” can be resonated whenever political endeavors become a subject for discussion (Allen, 1965, pg. 50).
I might be quiet uncertain about the intentions of many opponents towards the achievements of the Nazi party. However, I am sure that the ascent of the party to power shows how hopeful individuals are towards the leadership of the great Hitler. I am convinced that the administration of Hitler will whip out the streaming depression in the communities and boost the economy by employing most jobless men (Marc, 2016, pg. 226). Businesses will also find means of rising again under such able leadership. Otherwise, I give credit to Hitler who, for so long, has proved to be an active campaigner, a champion for peace and prosperity, as well as a pioneer for cooperation in stressing moments. Those who work with or under him are loyalist who only advocates for the betterment of the country and the strength of the party under the able leadership of Hitler (Chris, 2011).
In 5 years, I have witnessed two different life-changing elections in the history of Germany. Those who oppose truth create political coalitions and parties in an attempt to disorient the development agendas of the Nazi party. Hopefully, such parties have been dissolved or outlawed. I believe that by introducing the law of securing party unity, in 1933, a continuous intertwining of the structures and components of the ruling party was developed as well. I am also aware of the fact that the “Night of the Long Knives” happened in 1934 in which Hitler was engaged disempowering SA’s leadership.
Factors Contributing to Nazism’s Sudden Success
Most importantly, it is worth noting that the leadership belonged to the “Strasserist” faction of the NSDAP (Martina & Bernhard, 2018, pg. 91). Even if Hitler ordered for their slaughter, it would arguably be proved that they were involved in staging an attack on the government, or rather, a coup d’état. However, those that oppose such courageous actions of Hitler on the grounds of justification pretense with the aim of suppressing intraparty opposition may be ill-natured. The death of Kurt von Schleicher, an anti-Nazi conservative, should not be tied to being actions of the Nazi loyalists as such would be considered political assassination (Kuntz, 2011, pg. 74).
I also witnessed the death of President Hindenburg last year. Though the circumstances of his death are intriguing, and we pray that his soul may rest in peace, I am confident that the Nazi party will restore order and prosperity in the country. By merging the offices of the party leader, chief of government, and head of state, then entitling it as Führer und Reichskanzler, it is clear that we mean business (Ingrao, 2010). Führer’s Chancellery took over as an agency of the government not to blur whatever distinctions exist between state and party structures, but to create cohesiveness and responsiveness towards meeting the needs of the people. Next year, we shall give more power to the police and increase their functionally through a formal document from the Chief of the German Police and Reichsführer-SS offices (Wildt, 2012, pg. 99).
I have dedicated my life towards the success and downfall of the Nazi party, including that of my people as well. I want to acknowledge the fact that we have had a long struggle. We opted for the best out of what we created but ended up destroying ourselves alongside those we ought to protect. On behalf of Nazi supporters with the same opinion as mine, I would sincerely appreciate the fact that we have signed the first Instrument of Surrender in the history of our country. We led our people to war, we lead kids to death, and we created fear. For that, I have no further excuse on the potency of our leadership other than the fact that the Nazi party is no longer fit to lead the people (Evans, 2015, pg. 98). As I mentioned some years back, I have witnessed life-changing processes in the history of Germany. Some of such operations I am responsible for in a way or the other. There were no reasons for dissolving parties based on personal interests. The greatest sin a country could ever have committed is jeopardizing democracy. The party at large has been destructive. Starting with the “Night of the Long Knives” in 1934 – in which innocents were slaughtered, to the killing of former president Kurt von Schleicher who believed in true democratic doctrines. Then now in a few years, the epidemic killings of innocent citizens because of greed for power. Most of the allegations would then be true (Beck, 2013, pg. 259).
