12. HITLER “ENTRY INTO POLITICS
•After World War I Hitler returned to Munich. Having no
formal education and career plans or prospects, he tried
to remain in the army for as long as possible. In July
1919 he was appointed Verbindungsmann (intelligence
agent) to influence other soldiers and to infiltrate the
German Workers' Party (DAP). While monitoring the
activities of the DAP, Hitler became attracted to the
founder Anton Drexler's anti-Semitic. Drexler is a strong
active government, a "non-Jewish" version of socialism,
and solidarity among all members of society. Drexler
invited him to join the DAP. Hitler accepted on 12
September 1919, becoming the party's 55th member.

World War, yet there are some
specific causes was in possible

percent unbelievers. This census came
more than six years into the Nazi era.

model it the way he
wanted.

of Italy and the Empire of
Japan. They were
considered the aggressors of
the conflict.

Kingdom, its Commonwealth
and France were joined in
the European theatre by the
Soviet Union in June 1941

government up rise
attempts, Hitler wrote a
book: "Mein Kampf"- My

superior and that all of the problems that
Germany now endured were because of the
Jewish community.

22. SECOND WORLD WAR
CONTROLLING PEOPLE’S MINDS
•Once Hitler had complete control of the
government, he began to control all aspects of
life. Germany became a police state.
•2 million Nazis now made up the Salvation
Army, Hitler’s army of Storm troopers.
•He also had his SS (Schutzstaffel). These men
had sworn eternal life to Hitler as the
protectors of his Aryan race. They were
trained, ruthless killers who did whatever Hitler

SECOND WORLD WAR

25. SECOND WORLD WAR
HITLER’S FINAL SOLUTION “HOLOCAUST”
•Adolf Hitler announced at many occasions
the "annihilation of the Jews" living in the
territory under his control.
•In his mind, murdering millions of Jews
could only be accomplished under the
confusion of war - from the beginning he
was planning a war that would engulf
Europe.
•Second World War caused the greatest loss
of life and material destruction of any war
in history, killing twenty-five million military
personnel and thirty million civilians.
•Approximately 11 million people were killed
because of Hitler's genocidal policy.

28. THE ROLE OF
“WOMEN”
•Women in Nazi Germany were to have a
very specific role. Hitler was very clear
about this. This role was that they should
be good mothers bringing up children at
home while their husbands worked.
Outside of certain specialist fields, Hitler
saw no reason why a woman should work.
Education taught girls from the earliest of
years that this was the lifestyle they
should have.
SECOND WORLD WAR

29. WHY DID HITLER AND NAZI’S HATE
JEWS
•Many of the 'theories' about Hitler's hatred of
the Jews, especially those claiming to be
based on a single experience early in his life,
are no more than fanciful guesswork.
•The reasons given by Hitler in 'Mein Kampf'
should be treated with caution. The book is
not a reliable source.

war.
•Blamed for the death of Christ.
•Blamed for spreading black death, the
Bubonic Plague that killed 1/3 of all
Europeans
