HITLERS RISE TO POWER (1923-1934)

Author -*Simon lugwisha*

INTRODUCTION
Adolf Hitler's rise to power began in Germany in September 1919] when Hitler joined the political party known as German Workers' Party the name was changed in 1920 to the
National Socialist German Workers' Party, commonly known as the Nazi Party. This political party was formed and developed during the post-World War I era. It was anti-Marxist and was opposed to the democratic post-war government of the Weimar Republic and the Treaty of Versailles; and it advocated extreme nationalism and Pan-Germanism . Hitler's
"rise" can be considered to have ended in March 1933, after the Reichstag adopted the Enabling Act of 1933 in that month; President Paul von Hindenburg had already appointed Hitler as Chancellor on 30 January 1933 after a series of parliamentary elections and associated backroom intrigues. The Enabling Act—when used ruthlessly and with authority—virtually assured that Hitler could thereafter constitutionally exercise dictatorial power without legal objection.
Adolf Hitler rose to a place of prominence in the early years of the party. Being one of the best speakers of the party, he told the other members of the party to either make him leader of the party, or, he would never return. He was aided in part by his willingness to use violence in advancing his political objectives and to recruit party members who were willing to do the same. The Beer Hall Putsch in November 1923 and the later release of his book Mein Kampf (usually translated as My Struggle) introduced Hitler to a wider audience.
In the mid-1920s, the party engaged in electoral battles in which Hitler participated as a speaker and organizer, as well as in street battles and violence between the Rotfrontkämpferbund and the Nazi's Sturmabteilung (SA). Through the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Nazis gathered enough electoral support to become the largest political party in the Reichstag, and

    Prior to 1930 Hitler allied himself to Alfred Hugenberg in opposing the young plan, this aided the parties future growth and political prestige as it provided them with both financial and political support. This allegiance made the party seem less radical and less suspicious, Hitler could use this to his advantage as it supplied them with new respectability and national stature. This change in public views can be seen in election results from the late 1920's and the early 1930's; in 1928 the party had 0.8 million voters, where as in 1932 there was a significant increase as the July elections showed the Nazi party had 13.7 million voters.…

    While in prison Hitler had time to reflect on the failed Beer Hall Putsch and he decided that he must gain absolute power over the party and that an armed coup was no longer a viable tactic, but use the Weimar constitution against itself. Hitler said ‘we shall have to hold our noses and enter the Reichstag against the Catholic and Marxist deputies.’ Instead Hitler suggested legality but not everyone agreed with this, traditional local rivalries remained for many reasons such as the north was socialist and Protestant and the south was nationalist and Catholic. Most importantly however policy differences had got worse between the nationalist and anti-capitalists. The centre of internal struggles was that Hitler and the once loyal Gregor Strasser and also his brother Otto couldn’t agree on policy strategy. This came to head in 1926 at a conference at Bamberg, Hitler won support to re-establish his supremacy and the party was to be run according to Fuhrerprinzip, so there was to be no place for disagreements. On the other hand, the original 25 point programme was deemed unchangeable with its socialist elements.…

    The downfall of the party was apparent in the 1916 election where Allen Benson was their candidate. In this election he only won about three percent of the country’s popular vote.

This decision to oppose the war actually imprisoned many members of the party and those who supported the war left the party.

The working class wanted to be treated equally. This group has turned into the current democratic party, we see today. The Immigration Restriction League (1894) believe in limiting immigration.
