Hitler Becomes Prime Minister
In the first 10 years after the establishment of the Nazi Party in early 1919, it was always a small and insignificant party. In the 1928 parliamentary election, only 2.6% of the votes were obtained, totaling 810000. In the next two or three years, the Nazi Party developed rapidly and became congress The second largest party, which became the largest party in the Congress in 1932.
background
The social basis of the Nazi movement was mainly the urban and rural petty bourgeoisie and some workers. Famous leader of German labor movement Cai Tejin At that time, it was pointed out that the impoverished petty bourgeoisie, small farmers and intellectuals tended to turn to the fascist camp. She said:
"Thousands of people flocked to fascist Camp, it became a shelter for the politically homeless. Obviously, according to the social composition of the fascist army, they are people who have lost their foothold, lost their ability to survive and disappointed in society, including those who make capitalist society extremely uncomfortable and dangerous. "
Nazi Party - Hitler
The large number of petty bourgeoisie members participating in Hitler's movement is related to the large number of urban and rural petty bourgeoisie in Germany. Germany is a "kingdom" of petty bourgeoisie, which accounts for more than 40% of the total population. According to statistics in 1907, Germany had 5.247 million small business owners, businessmen and small and medium-sized farmers, and 6.775 million staff and officials.
The main reason for the large ranks of the petty bourgeoisie is the advanced form of German industrial monopoly Kang Caien Concentrated in the heavy industry sector, light industry and food processing sectors have also appeared monopoly organizations, but they are mainly low-level monopoly forms that maintain independence in production and are united by small and medium-sized enterprises Cartel In the textile, food processing, paper making, leather and other sectors, there has always been a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises, including factory handicrafts, traditional industries and peasant household handicrafts of early capitalism. According to statistics, from 1882 to 1895, the number of large enterprises (more than 50 people) in the German food processing industry increased from 1125 to 1826, and the number of employees increased from 148512 to 246490; Small and medium-sized enterprises (small enterprises with no more than 5 employees) increased from 244161 to 268145, and the number of employees increased from 595369 to 775000. 8 In rural Germany, due to Prussian Road , agricultural capitalism develops slowly and exists Junker landlord At the same time of large manors, there are also a large number of small and medium-sized peasant economies. According to statistics in 1925, there were 3046302 small farmers' manors operating less than 20 hectares of land, accounting for 47.2% of the total area of agricultural operations; There are 199825 large agricultural manors operating 20-100 hectares of land, accounting for 26.4% of the total area of agricultural operation; There are 18671 Junker landlord manors operating over 100 hectares of land, accounting for 20.2% of the total area of agricultural operations. However, it was after 1928 that a large number of petty bourgeoisie elements in urban and rural areas flocked to the Nazi movement. This is mainly because the economic crisis from 1929 to 1932 had a serious impact on the German petty bourgeoisie, which was fully utilized by the Nazi Party.

economic crisis
When the capitalist world economic crisis came in 1929, Germany was hit hard. During the relatively stable period of capitalism from 1923 to 1928, the rising trend of German industrial production was based on short-term loans provided by the United States. At this time, the loan of about 20 billion marks was recovered by the United States, which triggered the deepest and most lasting economic crisis in German history.
Hitler
During the crisis, industrial production plummeted. From 1929 to 1932, coal output decreased by 32.7%, pig iron output by 70.3%, steel output by 64.9%, machine manufacturing output by 62.1%, and power generation by 23.4%. Gross industrial product The production of means of production decreased by 53%, the production of consumer goods decreased by 25.3%, the total export volume decreased by 69.1%, the total import volume decreased by 70.8%, and the national treasury Gold reserves Sharply reduced by 4/5. At the same time, the average reduction of working hours was about 47%, and the number of working hours in the construction industry was reduced by about 66%. The number of employees in various industries has been greatly reduced, including about 64% in the steel, machinery and power industries, and about 47% in the hard coal mining industry.
The economic crisis has had a disastrous impact on the lives of the working class. Unemployment has increased rapidly. In September 1929, the number of unemployed people was 1.3 million, reaching 3 million a year later, rising to 4.35 million in September 1931. In February 1932, the number of unemployed people reached 8 million, except for several million temporary workers. Unemployment benefits fluctuate between 16.44 marks (in large cities) and 13.14 marks (in small cities) per week. Only 82% of unemployed registrars can receive unemployment benefits.
The economic crisis also hit the urban and rural petty bourgeoisie heavily. During the economic crisis, the economic status of urban small businessmen, small business owners and handicraftsmen was volatile. Many factories closed down, and a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises went bankrupt. According to German official statistics, from 1928 to 1931, the total number of annual factory closures rose from 10595 to 19254, almost doubling. During the same period, the total number of annual consolidated factories increased from 3147 to 8628, almost doubling. Among them, the situation of individual traders was very difficult. In 1931, 6664 stores closed down and 3581 were forced to merge. When the economic and social status of the petty bourgeoisie was seriously threatened, he was disappointed in the republican system, and gradually separated from the traditional bourgeois parties to find a way out, and he was full of hopes for petty bourgeois socialism, Hitler seized the opportunity. He purposefully lobbied the petty bourgeoisie to bring them into the Nazi movement and become the main social foundation of the Nazi movement.
Activists from Nazi Party organizations at all levels also played an important role in the election campaign and in recruiting Party members. In many cases, they talked face to face in bars, clubs and workplaces through informal channels to win votes and attract many Party members. The number of them is as large as the number of people who joined the Party through attending Party meetings or reading propaganda materials.

Take control of political power
Before 1933, the Nazi Party did not become the ruling party, and it was difficult to take measures directly beneficial to the petty bourgeoisie. However, on the way of seizing power, it did not ignore measures in this regard. The Nazi Party used part of the funds funded by monopoly capital to provide people with some specific material benefits. For example, "food almsgiving houses" have been set up for the unemployed, demobilized soldiers and the homeless, "providing housing, clothes and food". These actions left an impression on the petty bourgeoisie and the unemployed: Hitler's Nazi Party did represent their interests in action, and they should work together with the Nazi Party for a common cause.
Nazi German military parade
It can be seen that the reason why Hitler's Nazi Party developed rapidly during the crisis was that it understood the hearts and minds of the people and knew how to meet the needs of the people. When the petty bourgeoisie was deeply hit by the crisis, faced with the threat of falling into the proletarian situation and hesitated and depressed, deeply feeling the bleak future, the Nazi Party woke up their "nationalism" thought, put forward programs and policies that cater to their wishes, and aroused people's enthusiasm with powerful speeches, rallies and marches.
Consolidate political power
On June 22nd, 1933, the Hitler government used a fast cutting method to outlaw the German Socialist Party, and removed the last major party against Hitler from the cabinet. It also abolished the results of the March elections, when the influence of the Socialists was second only to that of the Nazis.
Nazi German Parliament
Hitler could not control Stormtrooper The street violence is regarded as a threat to power, so we want to remove the stormtroopers and their leaders Ernst Rohm He also wanted to appease the senior officers of the National Defense Forces who were afraid and disgusted with the stormtroopers, especially when Rom tried to include the National Defense Forces under his own stormtroopers. From June 30 to July 2, 1934, the Nazi Party launched“ Night of Long Knife ”Take action to liquidate the political enemies of his regime, especially those loyal to the Vice Premier Patpong Our people and horses. At least 85 people died in liquidation, but the final death toll may reach hundreds. More than 1000 opponents were arrested, most of whom were involved in the action SS and Gestapo This action strengthened and consolidated the support of the National Defense Forces for Hitler.
Race and the Holocaust
The Nazi regime was characterized by its political power to mainly control all aspects of the whole society - integration, to narrow and eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor as the goal, to reorganize Germany from top to bottom, and to incorporate party organizations into various social systems, such as German Labor Front With other national and local associations affiliated to the Party organization. Moreover, in order to pursue the "pure purification" of race (Aryan, Nordic), society and culture. The Nazi Party achieved its goal by persecuting what it considered impure, especially against Jews gypsy , homosexuals and politicians (such as Weimar Republic, Communist Party, etc.).
Nazi Party Member Certificate
This persecution peaked in the last years of the regime. About six million Jews, ten million Slavic And various other races were killed in an organized way. This act of genocide is called Holocaust in English, Shoah in Hebrew and euphemism in German“ Final solution ”(Endl ö sung, generally speaking, killing Jews is called "final settlement").

Nazi Party posters
In the 1930s, the national ideology of Nazism gradually formed and became a capital form of extreme countries in politics and economy. Its extreme form is reflected in Militarism and Racism Two kinds of extreme fascism and extreme autocratic rule are both reflected in politics, which is a state ruling system based on a high degree of monopoly. In essence, the ideology of national socialism is national hegemonism and fascism.
The German word "Staatssozialismus" is used to refer to the economic policy of Nazism, although the economic policy of national socialism during the Nazi period is very different from that of the state-owned socialism during the German Empire.
Since the Chinese translation of the words "nation" and "state" in German is the same, Nazism is often translated into "national socialism", but the meanings of the two are quite different.

fallacy

The original national socialist German Workers' Party is called "Nasos" for short. The word "Nazi" comes from a Bavarian word, which means "simple mind", and has been used by journalist Conrad Hayden (1901-1966) as a derision for a long time.
