NATIONALNAZISM:SOCIALISMNAZISM was the ideology and practice of the Nazi Party and of Nazi Germany. It was a unique variety of fascism that involved biological racism and antisemitism.Nazism presented itself as politically syncretic, incorporating policies, tactics and philosophies from right- and left-wing ideologies; in practice, Nazism was a far right form of politics. The Nazis believed in the supremacy of an Aryan master race and claimed that Germans represent the most pure Aryan nation.

They argued that Germany’s survival as a modern great nation required it to create a New Order an empire in Europe that would give the German nation the necessary land mass, resources, and expansion of population needed to be able to economically and militarily compete with other power

[THE LEADER] Adolf Hitler 20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945

THE FOUNDER OF NAZISM “HITLER”

On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler legally became Chancellor of Germany, appointed by President Paul von Hindenburg. Although he initially headed a coalition government, he quickly made Hindenburg a figurehead and eliminated his non-Nazi partners. The Nazi regime restored economic prosperity and ended mass unemployment using heavy military spending while suppressing labor unions and strikes. The return of prosperity gave the regime enormous popularity, and no serious opposition ever emerged to serve as a challenge to its rule.

IDEOLOGY:EXTREME NATIONALISMETHNIC DIVISIONFIRM GOVERMENT

Hitler believed that he need to defending German and their ethnic against communism and jewis. Aside of that he also believed that the non-German Germanic peoples of Europe, such as the Scandinavians, the Dutch, and the Flemish, were part of the “Aryan master race”. Hitler stated that he wanted to undo the “unnatural division” of the Nordic race into many different countries (“kleinstaatengerümpel”) and create union with the rest of historically Germanic Europe create a Greater Germanic Reich (Grossgermanisches Reich)

SIEG HEIL!

THE IDEOLOGY AND THOUGHT OF ADOLF HITLER THAT EVOLVE INTO NAZISM WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK

The Book combines elements of autobiography with an exposition of Hitler’s political ideology. Mein Kampf devided into 2 volumes. The Volume 1 called “The Reckoning” and the Volume 2 “The National Social Movement”

Mein Kampf has also been studied as a work on political theory. For example, Hitler announces his hatred of what he believed to be the world’s twin evils: Communism and Judaism. The new territory that Germany needed to obtain would properly nurture the “historic destiny” of the German people; this goal, which Hitler referred to as Lebensraum (living space), explains why Hitler aggressively expanded Germany Eastward, specifically the invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland, before he launched his attack against Russia. In Mein Kampf Hitler openly states that the future of Germany “has to lie in the acquisition of land in the East at the expense of Russia”.

A WORK ON POLITICAL THEORY

THE GERMANY

LIVING SPACE

LEBENSRAUM was one of the major political ideas of Adolf Hitler, and an important component of Nazi ideology. It served as the motivation for the expansionist policies of Nazi Germany, aiming to provide extra space for the growth of the German population, for a Greater Germany. In Hitler’s book Mein Kampf, he detailed his belief that the German people needed Lebensraum (“living space”, i.e. land and raw materials), and that it should be found in the East. It was the stated policy of the Nazis to kill, deport, or enslave the Polish, Russian and other Slavic populations, whom they considered inferior, and to repopulate the land with Germanic peoples. The entire urban population was to be exterminated by starvation, thus creating an agricultural surplus to feed Germany and allowing their replacement by a German upper class.

Nazi Germany was made up of various competing power structures, all trying to gain favor with the Führer, Adolf Hitler. Thus many existing laws were stricken and replaced with interpretations of what Hitler wanted. Any high party/government official could take one of Hitler’s comments and turn it into a new law, of which Hitler would casually either approve or disapprove.

WORKING TOWARDS THE FUHRER

LET THE PROPAGANDA SPREAD THEIDEOLOGY

STURMABTEILUNGStorm Detachment; or English: Stormtroopers functioned as a paramili-tary organization of the Nazi Party. It played a key role in Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. SA men were often called “brown-shirts” for the colour of their uniforms

BRAINWASH PEOPLE. CONTROL THE PEOPLE.

BRAINWASH PEOPLE. CONTROL THE PEOPLE.

Ideological Control:It means to control someone not physically, but mentally, in a subtle, sub-conscious manner. You are not aware you are ideologically controlled, as it is everything that surrounds you!

Propaganda, the coordinated attempt to influence public opinion through the use of media, was skillfully used by the Nazi Party in the years leading up to and during Adolf Hitler’s leadership of Germany (1933–1945). Nazi propaganda provided a crucial instrument for acquiring and maintaining power, and for the implementation of their policies, including the pursuit of total war and the extermination of millions of people in the Holocaust.

CHUTZ

TAFFELSCHUTZSTAFFELThe SS grew from a small paramilitary unit to a powerful force that served as the Führer’s “Praetorian Guard”, the Nazi Party’s “Protec-tion Squadron” and a force that, fielding almost a million men (both on the front lines and as political police), managed to exert as much political influence in the Third Reich as the Wehrmacht (Germany’s regular armed forces).

Initially a small branch of the Sturmabteilung, the SS grew in size and power due to its exclusive loyalty to Adolf Hitler, the SS selected its members according to the Nazi ideology. Creating elite police and military units such as the Waffen-SS, Adolf Hitler used the SS to form an order of men claimed to be superior in racial purity and ability to other Germans and national groups, a model for the Nazi vision of a master race

The Army of Nazis

THE DEVOTED FOLLOWERCommunication theory points out that people can be persuaded by the communicator’s credibility, expertise, trustworthiness, and attractiveness. The elaboration likelihood model as well as heuristic models of persuasion suggest that a number of factors (e.g., the degree of interest of the recipient of the communication), influence the degree to which people allow superficial factors to persuade them.

In this case Nazi control people to followed them and did something that uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda. Propaganda can be used as a form of political warfare.

The Blinded, Masked Follower:The mask in here show that the follower are not beeing themself instead they just a vampire-like that follow everything the fuhrer want.

THE GENOCIDE OF JEWS

ANTI-SEMITISM:THE HATRED OF JEWS THAT LEAD TO HOLOCAUSTHolocaust comes from the Greek word holókauston, an animal sacrifice offered to a god in which the whole (holos) animal is completely burnt (kaustos) it was the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany throughout Nazi-occupied territory. Approximately two-thirds of the population of nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust perished.

ANTI-SEMITISM:THE HATRED OF JEWS THAT LEAD TO HOLOCAUST

MASS MURDERVICTIM

The persecution and genocide were carried out in stages. Various legislation to remove the Jews from civil society, predominantly the Nuremberg Laws, was enacted in Nazi Germany years before the outbreak of World War II. Concentration camps were established in which inmates were used as slave labor until they died of exhaustion or disease. Where the Third Reich conquered new territory in eastern Europe, specialized units called Einsatzgruppen murdered Jews and political opponents in mass shootings.

THE CONQUEST OF EUROPEThe practical implementation of the Lebensraum concept began in 1939 with Germany’s occupation of Poland. In 1941, the German leadership decided that in ten to 20 years, the Polish state under German occupation was to be fully cleared of any ethnic Poles and resettled by German colonists. Ethnic Poles were cleared out of their houses so quickly that when colonists arrived, they found half-eaten meals on tables and unmade beds that small children had clearly been taken from. Ethnic Germans from the Baltic States were racially evaluated, with the highest rating being O Ost-Falle, the best classification, to be settled in the Eastern Wall. Colonisation incorporated 350,000 such “ethnic Germans” and 1.7 million Poles deemed Germanizable, including between one and two hundred thousand children who had been taken from their parents, plus about 400,000 German settlers from the “Old Reich”.

Later, the ideology was also a major factor in Hitler’s launching of Operation Barbarossa in June 1941. The Nazis hoped to turn large areas of Soviet territory into German settlement areas as part of Generalplan Ost.Developing these ideas, Nazi theorist Alfred Rosenberg proposed that the Nazi administrative organization in lands to be conquered from the Soviets

March On............

ANGEL OF DEATHThe desire for Lebensraum was a key tenet of several nationalist and extremist groups in post-World War I Germany, notably the Nazi Party under Adolf Hitler. As the American historian Gerhard Weinberg noted, German demands for territorial revision went beyond merely regaining land lost under the Treaty of Versailles, and instead embraced calls for the German conquest and colonization of all Eastern Europe, regardless of whether the land in question had belonged to Germany before 1918 or not

Hitler’s nonaggression pact (1939) with Stalin allowed him to invade Poland, beginning World War II, while Stalin annexed Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia to the USSR and attacked eastern Poland; but Hitler honored the pact only until he found it convenient to attack the USSR. In 1941, he assumed personal command of war strategy, leading to disaster. In early 1943 he refused to admit defeat at the battle of Stalingrad (now Volgograd), bringing death to vast numbers of German troops.

WW2 DEVIDED THE WORLD INTO TWOMASSIVE POWERThe war is generally accepted to have begun on 1 September 1939, with the invasion of Poland by Germany and Slovakia, and subsequent declarations of war on Germany by France and most of the countries of the British Empire and Commonwealth. Germany set out to establish a large empire in Europe. From late 1939 to early 1941, in a series of campaigns and treaties, Germany conquered or subdued much of continental Europe; amid Nazi-Soviet agreements, the nominally neutral Soviet Union fully or partially occupied and annexed territories of its six European neighbours. Britain and the Commonwealth remained the only major force continuing the fight against the Axis in North Africa and in extensive naval warfare. In June 1941, the European Axis launched an invasion of the Soviet Union, giving a start to the largest land theatre of war in history, which, from this moment on, was tying down the major part of the Axis military power. In December 1941, Japan, which had been at war with China since 1937, and aimed to dominate Asia, attacked the United States and European possessions in the Pacific Ocean, quickly conquering much of the region.

The Axis advance was stopped in 1942 after the defeat of Japan in a series of naval battles and after defeats of European Axis troops in North Africa and, decisively, at Stalingrad. In 1943, with a series of German defeats in Eastern Europe, the Allied invasion of Fascist Italy, and American victories in the Pacific, the Axis lost the initiative and undertook strategic retreat on all fronts. In 1944, the Western Allies invaded France, while the Soviet Union regained all territorial losses and invaded Germany and its allies.

“THOSE WHO CANNOT LEARN FROM HISTORY,ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT”

RacismThe belief that the genetic factors that constitute race, ethnicity, or nationality are a pri-mary determinant of human traits and capacities and that ethnic differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.Anti-Semitism:prejudice against or hostility towards Jews often rooted in hatred of their ethnic back-ground, culture, and/or religion. In its extreme form, it “attributes to the Jews an excep-tional position among all other civilizations, defames them as an inferior group and denies their being part of the nations” in which they reside.

NationalismThe belief that the genetic factors that constitute race, ethnicity, Nationalism involves a strong identification of a group of individuals with a political entity defined in national terms, i.e. a nation.SocialismSocialism is an economic and political theory advocating public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources.Absolutismthe acceptance of or belief in absolute principles in political, philosophical, ethical, or theo-logical matters.

“THOSE WHO CANNOT LEARN FROM HISTORY,ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT”

George Santayana 1863-1952 philosopher, essayist poet and novelist.

The word swastika came from the Sanskrit word svastika, meaning any lucky or auspicious object, and in particular a mark made on persons and things to denote good luck. It is composed of su- meaning “good, well” and asti “to be” svasti thus means “well-being.” The suffix -ka either forms a diminutive or intensifies the verbal meaning, and svastika might thus be translated literally as “that which is associated with well-being,”

TURNED FROM GOOD INTO EVIL SWASTIKA:Following a brief surge of popularity in Western culture, the swastika from the 1930s became strongly associated with its iconic usage by Nazi Germany, and it has hence become stigmatized and taboo in the Western world.
