Adolf Hitler Research Paper

Hitler had absolute control of Germany by 1934; therefore, he had established dictatorship by 1936 to a total extent. By definition, a dictator is an individual who has complete control over a nation’s religion, beliefs, has physical obedience of their subjects and has no opposition. This description is correct in describing Hitler, because he had the power to make laws, dismiss the Reichstag, control education, the media, books, and to eliminate opposition. He established compulsory youth groups and trade unions in order to present and impose his racist and supremacy ideology. Hitler’s idea of ‘Gleichshaltung’ (co-ordination) was established in order to co-ordinate all aspects of political and social life. Hitler achieved this by eliminating
In his speeches, he addressed every socio-economic group and promised answers to their problems. One such example was unemployment. Hitler fulfilled his promise by forming the National Labour Service in 1934, where it was compulsory for men from the ages of 19 to 25 to perform public works for six months, such as building the O-Bahn, which was a road that allowed the transportation of ammunition and troops. By creating the National Labour Service, the number of unemployment, decreased from 6,000,000 in 1933 to 302,000 by 1939.

They were supposedly doing this by controlling the largest political party in Germany, the German Social Democrat Party, which controlled many of the leading companies and several of the country's newspapers. Hitler was able to establish a dictatorship in Germany by 1936 to a total extent by enforcing his ideology of Germany being a supreme, strong, superior race. This was done by anti-Semitic activities, as previously mentioned, and by passing the Nuremberg Laws in 1935, which outlawed any relationships and marriages between Jews and Aryans, as they threatened the preservation of ‘pure Aryan blood’. The laws also abolished the citizenship of Jews, whether or not they were born in Germany, and genetically
