Hitler's Hidden Treasures
Kyle McCall
2/20/13
During war times, nations hold the weapons or technology needed to win in high regard and closely guard them by keeping them secret from their enemies. Hitler was a charismatic leader of the Nazi regime with the pipe dream of world supremacy by the “superior race,” Aryan, that had multitudes of secret programs, projects, and covert operations that he held very close as to avoid discovery from opposing nations. It has been concluded, from documents and evidence found post World War II, that Nazi Germany was technologically ahead of the United States by at least ten to twenty years. These Secret programs and projects ranged from military advancement to advancements in everyday life and racial purification. One of the most hotly debated secret operations of the Nazi regime is a secret base in Antarctica. It is believed by some that the Nazi party discovered a cave in Antarctica the extended for miles flowing into an underground river far into the caverns. It is believed German’s found the cave after sending multiple reconnaissance flights over the land of Antarctica. This base is believe to be where the Germans were making leaps into aerospace technology by initiating research in the area of anti-gravitational technology to be used in “hovercraft” type vehicle. Even though this is possibly the most interesting and speculation filled secret Nazi project of all, Germany is responsible for much more advancements into technology and war strategies. Through thorough research, it can be concluded that Nazi Germany focused most of its time and money into researching viable types of new energy sources and enhancing energy sources that already existed. One of these is the diminutive generator. This generator was a mere 5 inches across and could raise the current from a simple flashlight battery up to 15,000 volts and last for 3,000 hours. Nazi Germany was far greater advanced technologically, giving them the needed boost to be able to conquer

    In my essay I will assess how significant Albert Speer was to the running of the Nazi war machine and the Nazi regime. I will look at how such an intelligent, well-intentioned, principled person like Speer could become such an integral part in the Nazi party, so captivated by Hitler’s charisma and influence that he could ignore all the atrocities, the concentration camps, the slaughter of the fuehrer’s wars and devote all the country’s resources to keeping the regime in power. Albert Speer was appointed as minister for Armaments and munitions in February 1942. Speer played an invaluable role in the Nazi War Machine during the next three years of the Second World War. His effectiveness as minister for armaments and munitions led to phenomenal increases in the production of armaments, and ultimately prolonging the war for another one to two years which greatly impacted on the functioning of the War Machine. Speer’s major accomplishments as minister for armaments and munitions were the standardization of weapons and specialization of factories. Implementing a Total War policy in Germany. The mobilization of the workforce in relation to the armament production.…

    Essay On Albert Speer

    • 612 Words
    • 3 Pages

    When measuring the extent to which Albert Speer had a positive impact on his time, it is essential to identify all the contributions made by Speer that had both a positive and negative effect on Germany and the broader global world. The positive contributions made by Speer include his work as the “First Architect of the Reich” — consisting of the Germania project and the Reich Chancellery; and as Armaments Minister which significantly strengthened the Nazi war effort. However, all this was negated by his involvement in Anti-Semitic activities, the use of forced labour and his knowledge of the concentration camps. By identifying both the positive and negative contributions, one can thoroughly deduce the magnitude of Speer’s positive impact on his time.…

    During World War II in Nazi Germany, the only thing considered more imperative than committing genocide against the people of Jewish descent, was devising ways to inevitably defeat their foes. The merciless German researchers would stop at nothing to try and enhance their chances at constructing the "super race". Along with all the pharmaceutical help, researchers needed to experiment with these new drugs to ensure their effectiveness. Prisoners of concentration camps were forced to take these experimental drugs and have their limits tested. While the Americans' secret weapon was the atomic bomb, Germany tried to win the war with their own secret weapon—drugs.…

    Shortly after the end of WWII, British Intelligence officer Hugh Trevor-Roper was given the task to establish the facts of Hitler's end, and thereby to prevent the growth of a myth. His report, later published as “The Last Days of Hitler”, draws on Allied intelligence's interrogations of survivors who spent time in the bunker during the last ten days of Hitler's life. Trevor-Roper organizes his book chronologically, but it's more a series of character sketches than a strict time line of events. We see a raving, physically broken, nearly insane Hitler contemplating both his heroic death and the complete and intentional destruction of his Reich, while his "flatulent clowns" (as Trevor-Roper calls them), even at this late date scramble to betray their leader, and one another, in their quest for power. Remarkably, each of these "flatulent clowns" considers himself entirely fit to govern a new Germany and expects to retain power after surrendering to the Allies. But his report- cutting, detailed, and well supported- effectively stifles any thought of a popular revival of Nazism.…

    The Holocaust is perhaps one of the most gruesome events that has ever taken place. Adolf Hitler was the mastermind behind the systematic, bureaucratic, and barbaric persecution that murdered six million Jews for no reason. When he became leader he had only one mission and that was to have an exceptional race and he would do everything to achieve it. The Nazis who came into power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were racially superior and that the Jews were inferior and posed as a threat to the German community. Adolf and his “loyal” followers managed to instill fear in many Jews causing many to flee to safer havens. Other that weren’t as lucky fell into the hands of that Nazi regime. Those Jews that were persecuted and captured…

    Another reason Germany were so successful was because of their advanced military tactics. They employed a strategy called Blitzkrieg meaning "lightning war." The central ideas behind this tactic were co-ordination and speed. The tactic consisted of rapid thrusts by motorized divisions and tanks supported by air power. When the German's employed this tactic against their enemies, they were all defeated in a remarkably short time. Holland only survived 4 days before surrendering. Belgium went on a bit longer and survived about 20 days. And the ‘almighty France' fought for just 43 days before surrendering. With superior tactics like this, it is little wonder why Germany was so successful in her conquests.…

    Hitler was a gifted orator who captivated many with his beating of the lectern and growling, emotional speech .One of the tactics used by Hitler was inspirational tactics. Hitler often praised Christian heritage, German Christian culture, and professed a belief in Jesus Christ. In his speeches and publications Hitler spoke of Christianity as a central motivation for his anti-Semitism. In Hitler's conception Jews were enemies of all civilization. So, in his public speeches, he influences others emotionally by stating that Jesus is a fighter against the Jews. He became adept at telling people what they wanted to hear for example, the Jewish-Marxist plot to conquer the world, and the betrayal of Germany in the Versailles treaty. By the reason of hatred on Jews, Hitler had killed thousands of Jews throughout his ruling.…

    Until now only the importance of mementos on a more individual basis has been discussed, but many individuals are looking beyond just the personal survivor stories and looking into exhibiting these objects to educate others. Museums take mementos to tell a survivors story and put them in a place where copious amounts of people can view them. Here are a few examples of powerful mementos to be displayed in a museum. Many people keep a box full of mementos in their attic or basement like baby pictures, ornaments, blankets, cards, etc. Shifra Katz, a victim of the Holocaust, has a powerful story about a blanket that holds a lot of history.

    Adolf Hitler surfaced in 1919, joining the Nazi party as a minority. However, by 1933, Hitler surprised everyone by becoming Chancellor, which was seen as a remarkable achievement. Yet many people underestimated his abilities, and thought that he would be removed from power. Even fewer people would have expected that by mid-1934, Hitler would become the sole leader of Germany, establishing a dictatorship. This essay will show how Hitler cleverly consolidated power, using a mixture of legal, illegal, and violent methods to remove any hindrance and oppositions in the way; and how Hitler, viewed by some as an opportunist, others a planner, made use of six major factors including the Reichstag fire, Emergency Decree, the Enabling act, the Night of the Long Knives, death of Hindenburg and the Army 's oath of Loyalty, which lead to his role 'Fuhrer ' and Reich Chancellor, securing his position between the Nazis and Germany.…
