Germans Into Nazis
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Traditional paradigms that account for the rise of the Nazis and the transformation of the German people include the following reasons: Resentment over the Versailles Treaty, Ineptitude on behalf of the Weimar Republic, Depression and Hyperinflation, and a long-standing hatred of Jews. In his book Germans Into Nazis author Peter Fritzsche disputes all of these notions as primary. Instead, the author argues as his main point that the Germans became Nazis because the Nazis were the most organized party and the best at speaking to their interests and wants. More specifically, Fritzsche argues that the Nazis offered Germans a refreshingly moral vision of the nation that embodied their hopes for the future. However, Fritzsche argued this vision was ingrained among the German people long before Hitler had political influence: “Saturday night, 25 July 1914, when ordinary Germans stepped into the spontaneous parades and when a collective sense of common purpose that transcended differences of class and region and religion seemed to suffuse city streets” (15).
