Nazi propaganda machine and the effect on the German people
In the years after the Versailles treaty of 1918 which ended World War I, Germany was in the midst of financial crises and damaged national pride. In 1923 the people savings melted way with the inflation that struck Germany to its core and total destruction of the middle class. The brand new Weimar Republic that was formed after the end of World War I, gave a new political freedom unseen before in Germany. Historically, Germany was ruled by kings and generals and political scene of the times after the World War I was a new system not only for the German people but even for its politicians. In the first general election more than 30 parties fought for the electoral vote. Political clashes between of “pointing fingers” at each other delayed forming of a Government for almost a year. All this was looked upon suspicious and disappointment from the economically damaged German. Under the Weimar Republic corruption became norm in the public services once an example for honesty. Despite the financial injection provided for Germany to build back its economy, the unemployment was still extremely great and corruption was becoming larger problem. Corruption and unemployment infuriated Germans and became the biggest weapon in Hitler’s political campaigns. Nazi’s manage to use all errors made by the new political system and the Weimer Republic Government as a weapon against them. With 1929 Wall street crash Germans had enough with the capitalists system and many of them began joining revolutionary forces. Young Germans were joining Communists and Fascists movements. Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party ran a campaign for uniting the German people, putting end to the political war between the parties that polarized the nation and ending unemployment and corruption. It was a campaign that sprang from the struggles of the average German and it was turned to a campaign ran by hate. Hitler
