What did the Nazi Party stand for in the
1920's & how did Hitler get involved?
- In Jan 1919, the German's
Worker's Party (DAP) was
formed.
- Hitler joined in Sept 1919. His talent for public speaking led to his invitation
to join the executive committee & was put in charge of propaganda.
- In 1920, he played a major role in writing out the party's 25 point
programme. This showed early anti-semitism, but also some
socialist ideas (not Hitler's).
- Later named the National
Socialist German Party
(Nazi Party).
- A Munich newspaper known for its
anti-semitic views was used to spread
Nazi views & the party's support began
to grow.
- In 1921 Hitler became party leader & founded the SA ('Stormtroopers'
or 'Brownshirts'). Its main task was to protect Nazi meetings & distrupt
those of its opponents.
- The SA wore Nazi Swastikas.
- The military style attracted many unemployed soldiers &
the Stormtroopers soon developed a reputation for
brutality against Nazi opponents.
- By 1923 the Nazi Party had grown to
35,000 members.
- Hitler was convinced that the Weimar Republic's
problems gave him the opportunity to seize
power, but his Munich Putsch was unsuccessful
& Hitler was imprisoned.
- The failed putsch had an important impact on the
Nazi Party: Its leader was jailed & the newspaper &
the Party itself was banned in Munich.
