How Did Hitler Define The Third Reich?

You probably know about Nazi Germany and the infamous Third Reich, but do you really know what it took for the once poor Austrian painter to become a zealous leader capable of transforming Germany from a republic to a totalitarian state. Adolf Hitler built his Third Reich from from the remains of the past and used his power to influence every aspect of German life until he had not only the government's power but also the support of the people. While Hitler was the man behind the Third Reich, he does not solely define the Reich. While Hitler was capable of not only convincing a nation of people to believe in the Nazi ideals but also to follow him into war with not only the world but also their own neighbors. The Third Reich is best defined by
In articles published by the United States Holocaust Museum the end of the Republic is the result of the rise of the Nazis. The Weimar Republic fell thanks to a string of events that resulted in Adolf Hitler’s establishment as Fuhrer. The beginning of the end of the Republic was upon the appointment of Adolf Hitler as chancellor on January 30, 1933. After a mysterious fire burned down the Reichstag, Germany’s Parliament building, on February 28, 1933, a state of emergency was declared which allowed official decrees to be enacted without confirmation from the parliament (2) which resulted in the Enabling Act.

The Nuremberg Laws were the first hint of what was to come just a few years later in the form of the Holocaust. But it would not be until 1941 that Hitler would kick his genocide into full swing. For the time being at least, there was only growth and prosperity for Germany has a whole as Nazi Germany reached its peak around 1936. One major aid in the Reich's rise to power was its use of propaganda. Propaganda played a huge role in Hitler’s Germany due to it’s use in maintaining and growing the support of the German people for the Nazis. In 1936 Hitler found a platform upon which to launch the biggest Nazi propaganda campaign, the 1936 Olympic games. Hitler used the 1936 Olympic game to showcase Germany and all of its glory to the world.
