Hitler in Politics: From the Nazi Party to the Reichstag

  By the time Hitler was 30, his life had led him in many different directions. From an aspiring artist to being poverty stricken and living on the streets of Vienna, his had been a life of hardship.   During the First World War, his fortunes changed, and he made a name for himself as a capable soldier. The end of the war and Germany’s defeat churned political unrest in the nation and set the stage for a dynamic that would thrust an unknown but passionate and angry man into his first position of power.   A succession of events led to the perfect storm for Hitler and the rise of Nazism. In July 1919, in the city of Munich, Hitler took his first step in the direction that would catapult him to power.   Hitler’s Rise in the German Workers’ Party (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, DAP) A photo of Hitler surrounded by Nazi officials. The photo is signed by Anton Drexler, who appears in the rear, center of the image. Source: sjsmilitaria.com   Before the Nazi party was known as such, it was called the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (the German Workers’ Party). It was created in January 1919 by a man named Anton Drexler, and the party mirrored his views of German nationalism, anti-Marxism, racial superiority of the German race, anti-Semitism, and anger over the treatment of Germany during the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I and imposed harsh penalties on Germany.   Although a small organization at the time, comprising around 60 members, the DAP was viewed with suspicion and marked for infiltration by the German authorities. Adolf Hitler, a Gefreiter (corporal) who had stayed in the military after the end of the First World War, was tasked with the job of spying on this group of nationalists.   Anton Drexler.

He did, however, enjoy engaging in political discussions with its members. He listened to the speeches and abandoned his task as an infiltrator, instead joining the DAP.   On September 12, Hitler was involved in a heated argument over the political direction Bavaria should take. Anton Drexler was impressed with Hitler’s oratorial skills and urged him to join the DAP. Hitler accepted. Despite his idea of creating his own party, Hitler realized that he could rise in prominence within the DAP, which was still a very small organization, and steer it in the direction he wanted it to go.   A very early Nazi flag. Source: Gettysburg Museum of History   Hitler made his first speech on October 16, 1919. This (arguably) marked the beginning of his rise to power. His words encapsulated the audience, and Anton Drexler was impressed even further. Hitler became the chief of propaganda for the small party in early 1920, and through his efforts to promote the party, the DAP grew considerably, attracting thousands of new members.   Hitler gave the party clear purpose and solidified its strategy and policies. Included in these policies was a desire to exclude Jews from German citizenship, among other things. This would be the first step in a succession of events that would eventually lead to the Holocaust.   Although a DAP manifesto had already been drawn up, it was Hitler who brought it to the forefront and kickstarted the aggressive pursuit of the 25 points contained therein. The party began to clearly show its character as being anti-Marxist, anti-Semitic, anti-capitalist, anti-democratic, and anti-liberal. Hitler also designed the Nazi swastika flag, giving the party a striking image to make it easily identifiable.   SA troops preventing Jews from entering the University of Vienna. Source: National Archives/United States Holocaust Memorial Museum   The party’s executive committee, however, realized that a large proportion of struggling workers and middle-class Germans leaned to the left of the political spectrum. To appeal to these people, the committee decided to change the party’s name by adding the word “socialist” to the title. But to differentiate it from the socialist movement, which was certainly not nationalist, the word “nationalist” was also added. This move was designed to attract members from across the political spectrum who had little knowledge of the intricacies of political ideologies. Thus, the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei became the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, or simply the Nazi Party.   Almost immediately, the anti-Jewish sentiment was acted upon. Only racially pure Aryans were allowed into the party, and those with non-Aryan spouses were banned.   Hitler’s move to become the chairman of the Nazi Party was the result of a mutiny. Members of the Executive Committee attempted to force the Nazi Party to merge with a rival party, the German Socialist Party. For Hitler, this was an act of betrayal of the Nazi Party’s principles. He tendered his resignation, and the Executive Committee realized that without their greatest orator, and the face of the party, the Nazi Party would face certain abandonment.   Heinrich Himmler in 1924. Source: United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, courtesy of James Blevins   They acquiesced to the hardliners within the movement, and Hitler was inaugurated as the chairman, replacing Anton Drexler as the head of the party. Hitler then had the Executive Committee dissolved and gained full control of the party, suppressing and ousting his political rivals from within its ranks.   It was around this time that Hitler received the moniker of Führer, and the party founded the Sturmabteilung (Storm Division, SA), the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party, which began to engage violently with its enemies.   The SA grew significantly in strength during the early 1920s as the Weimar Republic grew weak, and disenchanted World War I veterans flocked to the Nazi party, seeing in Adolf Hitler a person with whom they could relate. Following the successful creation of the SA, the Hitler Youth was then created for the children of Nazi Party members.   Rallies were held regularly, and beer halls formed popular venues. The promise of free beer went a long way to helping the party grow its membership base. The party expanded beyond Munich and Bavaria, finding popularity in other parts of Germany as well. It started printing its own magazine, Der Stürmer, and acquired a newspaper, Völkischer Beobachter. Around this time, prominent future Nazi members Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Goering joined the party.   The Beer Hall Putsch A first edition copy of Hitler’s Mein Kampf, which he wrote while in Landsberg Prison. Source: The First Edition   By 1923, Germany was in a state of chaos. The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany into reparations that it could ill afford, and its industrial heartland of the Ruhr Valley was under French occupation. The Weimar Republic in Germany was the country’s first attempt at a democracy, and it was weak, having gone through several chancellors and cabinets.   Inflation was rife, and the German Mark became worthless. Food shortages became common, and people resorted to bartering. Revolutionary movements took to the streets in open rebellion, threatening the German government from the extreme left and right of the political spectrum.   Hitler chose this moment to launch a coup against the German government. His plan was to force three powerful men, Gustav von Kahr, Otto von Lossow, and Hans Ritter von Seisser, to join him. They were the state commissioner, an influential army general, and the Bavarian State Police Chief, respectively. When the three met at the Bürgerbräukeller for a speech event, Hitler launched his plan.   Landsberg Prison, circa 1946. Source: United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, courtesy of Joseph H. Williams   With several hundred Nazis, he surrounded the venue and at gunpoint, forced the three men to support his coup. The three men agreed to join Hitler, but the next day Seisser and Lossow reneged on their word and planned to resist Hitler’s march through the streets.   The march was a disaster. Almost immediately, as Ernst Röhm and his SA began their march, they were met by the police and forced to retreat. The other elements of the Nazi march fared no better, and clashes with the police led to 16 Nazis and four policemen losing their lives. Hitler was arrested two days later and charged with treason.   Hitler’s trial began on February 24, 1924. He denied the charge of treason, arguing that he was only trying to restore order to Germany. The judges were sympathetic to his cause and gave him the light sentence of five years in Landsberg Prison. He would serve only nine months, during which time he wrote Mein Kampf.   The Nazi Party Wanes in Popularity A picture from the flip-book Adolf Hitler Spricht, 1929. Source: Documentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelände Museen der Stadt Nürnberg   After Hitler was imprisoned, the Nazi Party was banned. Its new leader, Alfred Rosenberg, also lacked the charisma that Hitler had, and membership of the party dropped significantly. To add to this dynamic, the German economy started to recover, thus leading people away from revolutionary ideas such as Nazism, as there seemed little need to put faith in an entity suggesting radical change.   In 1925, after his release from Landsberg Prison, Hitler took over the leadership of the Nazi Party again and convinced the authorities to lift the ban. He saw the need for a restructuring of the party, and in 1926, he convened the Bamberg Conference, which sought to deal with problematic issues. One of these issues was dissent among the northernmost branches of the Nazi Party. Hitler sought to cement centralized control and exert more authority over the organization.   The first democratic national election to be contested by the Nazi Party was in 1928, in which the Nazi Party scored just 2.63% of the total vote. It was clear that the country was back on track to economic prosperity, especially with generous loans from the United States boosting the German government coffers.   The economic progress, however, all came to an abrupt end in October 1929 when the Wall Street Crash sent shockwaves around the world, plunging Germany into another economic meltdown. This was exactly the situation the Nazi Party needed to once again become the powerful organization that could succeed in winning over the German people.   The Nazis in the Reichstag Heinrich Brüning, February 1932. Source: Deutsches Historisches Museum, Berlin   From 1929 to 1933, the Nazi Party grew to become the biggest party in Germany, but there were challenges in that it could not win a clear majority in the Reichstag.   The economic collapse brought a huge influx of support to the Nazi Party as people became desperate again for change. Farmers, having a difficult time before the crash, suffered even more as food prices plummeted, while factories were forced to lay off workers. Unemployment skyrocketed.   The German working classes, in their plight, were eager to look for reasons for their suffering, and the Nazis offered plenty of answers. With Hitler’s anti-Semitic, anti-democratic, and anti-Marxist rhetoric, he began to reshape the ideological structure of Germany, radicalizing many with hatred and anger at the Jews and the Weimar Republic. This hatred also extended to France and the Treaty of Versailles, which had effectively neutered Germany’s ability to recover economically and militarily. Hitler presented nationalist pride and stoked the fires of German revival based on racial lines.   In the Reichstag, Heinrich Brüning of the Centre Party had been appointed by President Paul Von Hindenburg to be Chancellor. Brüning’s party, however, did not have a majority, and he had to govern using Article 48, which allowed the chancellor to pass emergency measures without needing parliamentary support. As the government was a minority, and Article 48 was being used too frequently, the Reichstag quickly turned against the government and voted it down until it collapsed. Von Hindenburg dissolved the Reichstag, allowing Brüning to stay in office.   Hitler (left) walking next to Von Papen (center). Source: University of North Texas Libraries   By the next election, in September 1930, the Nazi Party increased its share of the vote to 18.25% amid a failure of the Weimar government to stabilize the situation. Successive Weimar attempts in forming new governments fell flat, and the people increasingly looked for more radical solutions in governing Germany.   On the far-right, people flocked to support the Nazis, but the economic woes also fed the Nazi’s biggest enemy, the Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (German Communist Party, KPD). As the leading Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (Social Democratic Party of Germany, SPD) struggled to maintain its grasp on power, the Nazis and the communists began fighting for future control over all of Germany.   This struggle didn’t just take place in the Reichstag. It happened on the streets as well. The Strurmabteiling was used to protect Nazi meetings and rallies as well as to disrupt the congregations of other parties, especially that of the Communist Party, which had its own militia called the Roter Frontkämpferbund (Red Front Fighters, RFB). These two militias regularly clashed, resulting in injury and death.   Adolf Hitler in 1934. Source: Narodowe Archiwum Cyfrowe (Poland National Digital Archive)   In 1932, a presidential election turned out to be a three-way race between Hindenburg, Hitler, and communist leader Ernst Thälmann. Hindenburg narrowly won, but the popularity of Hitler had been markedly improving. Later that year, Brüning lost the support of Hindenburg, who appointed Franz von Papen as the new chancellor. This act triggered a call for a general election.   The 1932 general election catapulted the Nazis into power in the Reichstag. With 37.27% of the vote, they became the biggest party in the Reichstag. Despite this, they lacked a clear majority, and the situation would evolve into one that was difficult to navigate for everybody involved. Hitler demanded the chancellorship, but Von Papen refused to step down. Instead, he and Hindenburg decided to manipulate the situation in order to defeat Hitler and the Nazis.   SA members putting up a poster. Source: Bundesarchiv via United States Holocaust Memorial Museum   Von Papen dissolved the Reichstag, hoping it would strip the Nazis of their political power. An election in November 1932 showed the Nazis lost a small percentage of votes, but they still controlled the majority of the Reichstag seats. Von Papen then tried to convince Hindenburg to dissolve the entire Weimar constitution. The Minister of Defence, Kurt von Schleicher, opposed this action, persuading Hindenburg that doing so would lead to a civil war.   Hindenburg responded to Von Papen by sacking him and replacing him with Von Schleicher. Von Papen, however, was desperate to regain power, and he convinced Hindenburg that if he made Hitler chancellor with Von Papen as vice chancellor, he would be able to control the Nazi leader. Hindenburg relented and swore Hitler in as chancellor.   Von Papen proved to be very wrong about being able to control Germany’s newest chancellor.   Hitler in 1933.

His most alarming legacy, however, was yet to be written.

This Mother’s Day, Celebrate Motherhood

Many Americans could affirm what Abraham Lincoln is supposed to have said: “All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” Unfortunately, moms and dads increasingly deemphasize marriage and parenting, instead choosing to focus on paid work. This Mother’s Day, we should reject the culture and affirm the importance of motherhood itself. The starkest evidence of deemphasis comes in the form of a survey of parents by Pew Research Center. Respondents were asked whether specific goals for their children—financial independence, jobs or careers they enjoy, a college degree, marriage, and children—were extremely important, very important, somewhat important, not too important, or not at all important. Fully 88% said financial independence and careers they enjoy are in the top two categories, while only about 20% said marriage and children are in the top two categories. Almost 46% of parents said that marriage and children aren’t too important or are not at all important. Children seem to be picking up on these priorities. Many are delaying marriage, or they never get married. According to the Census Bureau, the median age of marriage has gone from 20 to 28 for women and 23 to 30 for men in just a few generations. As of 2021, a record high 25% of 40-year-olds never had been married, up from just 6% in 1980. The reasons are complex, but undoubtedly our culture’s emphasis of work over family is part of the picture. This is counterproductive. Paid work is important, no doubt, but such a lopsided emphasis on work over family will lead to malformed children. As Scripture, the ancients, and modern social science all attest, four things basically make us happy: community or friends, purpose or vocation (which is wider than paid work), faith, and family. Valuing career to the detriment of the other categories is a recipe for disappointment. An earlier Pew poll seems to bear this out since adult Americans, asked about what provides them a sense of meeting, chose family 2-to-1 over career (69% to 34%). For conservatives, extolling career over family is a downright disaster. The overemphasis on work doesn’t just produce malformation and destruction in personal lives. It also weakens America by producing birth rates that are too low to maintain the population, affecting everything from the economy to the military. Of course, conservatives also push back on marriage as self-fulfillment, harkening back to a more sturdy and time-tested definition of marriage reflected in the traditional vows that emphasize duty rather than self-fulfillment. Such marriages seem to be the sturdiest and happiest. So, what can moms and dads do to turn this around? In your own family, make sure you celebrate motherhood this Sunday on Mother’s Day. We are only alive because of our moms’ sacrificial and heroic birth experiences.  Do you put as much emphasis on finding a good mate—and what to look for—as you do on what college you want your child to attend or what career they will pursue? Parents, achievement at school or sports is great, but make sure you also extoll the deep meaning you get from having a family of your own. After all, if 70% of adults say they get most meaning from their families, why are only 20% of parents saying that it’s the most important goal for their children?  If you think you have the right mix in communicating what’s important, try asking your children what they think you think is the most important goal. You might be surprised by the answer. The post This Mother’s Day, Celebrate Motherhood appeared first on The Daily Signal.

5-Year-Old Stays on the Line with 911 to Save Dad and the Conversation She Has Is Priceless

Savannah Hensley was just five years old when she had to take over the call with 911 to help save her dad. Although she was quite young, she was able to stay calm to get her dad the help he needed. 911 dispatcher Jason Bonham asks the young girl about her name and age. She answers with confidence as she stands by to help her dad. Her father, Frank, was able to make the initial 911 phone call, but then she had to take over as he could not talk. RELATED: Police Officer's Act Of Kindness When Boy With Autism Called 911 Savannah is There For Her Dad “My dad can hardly breathe,” Savannah tells him. Jason asks her if the door is unlocked, and when it isn’t, he asks her to unlock it. She responds with, “Sure!” and follows his directions. “Don’t worry, Dad,” she repeatedly says, reassuring him that help is coming while staying on the 911 call. “We’re in our jammies, and we’re trying to go to bed, but he can’t hardly breathe,” Savannah tells the dispatcher. Although only five, Savannah is doing a great job following directions. She Keeps Him Awake Jason tells her that the ambulance is on the way and asks her if he dad is still awake. He tells her to “keep him awake, okay?” and she rises to the occasion and does just that. In a priceless moment, Savannah reassures her dad. “Stay calm,” she says. “I know you haven’t had oxygen before but…” truly making sure her dad is doing okay. RELATED: Boy Calls 911 and When Officer Arrives, He Discovers the Child Just Wanted a Hug As the call continues, Jason stays on the line, letting her know he will stay with her until the ambulance arrives and to listen for the sirens. Little Savannah continues to reassure her dad that the ambulance is on the way and does what Jason tells her to do. Jason asks her questions, such as if her dad has been sick or if this has ever happened before. She does an excellent job of asking her father the questions and getting back to Jason about what he said. Doing What the Dispatcher On the 911 Call Tells Her To Do She then says, “So far, so good, he is still awake,” as if she was a grown adult, not a young child. She watches over her dad and ensures they do what the dispatcher on the 911 call tells them to do. Savannah also seems a little concerned about her outfit. She talks about being in a tank top and needing to change. She also lets Jason know about their dog. Her dog is friendly but tends to bark a lot. After the call, Jason went on to say, “Most people, when you talk with them, they're so hysterical.” He was amazed by how calm Savanahh was able to stay. “Every time I've listened to it, it's amazing. She's just a little person.” According to the Scoop, Savannah was on the line for 10 minutes. She truly was her dad’s little hero.
