By 1931, the largest political party in Germany was the Communists, with the extremist Nazi Party a close second. Dictatorship, militarism, a sense of unfairness and severe economic hardship eventually made the Nazi’s message of redemption attractive enough to set Europe back on the road to war. Hitler became involved with the inexperienced Nazi Party after the First World War, and set the violent tone of the movement early by forming the Sturmabteilung paramilitary, which was basically a rebel group that protected nazi rallies and assemblies, etc. Catholic Bavaria fought and didn’t follow the rules from Protestant Berlin, and Hitler at first saw the revolution in Bavaria as a means to power, but an early attempt proved useless, and he was imprisoned after the 1923 Munich Beerhall Putsch and put in Landsberg Prison. He spent most of his time writing “Mein Kampf” (My Struggle), in which he stated and argued the fact that the unmanly Jewish Christian ethic was weakening Europe, and that Germany needed a man of power and guts to restore itself and to build an empire. He decided on the tactic of pursuing power
