Hitler And Germany In WW2

 

            Hitler gained power in 1993, and from that time on he wanted to make his dreams to come true. He wanted to form German Empire in Central and Eastern Europe. Hitler wanted to give Germans, as superior race, more space and security like they deserve. The only way to accomplish it all was by declaring war to Russia and other European countries. .
             The Nazis controlled all political and economic, and cultural institutions. There was no separation between private life and politics. There were no rights of individuals that state must respect. Nazis controlled every organization and every step of daily life of people. Gestapo, secret police, ended collective bargaining and strikes of trade union by arresting its leaders. Nazis did not destroy upper classes of the Old Regime. Hitler wanted from them loyalty, obedience and war machine. However, German industrialists had no real political power. Although workers thanked regime for ending unemployment, their real wages did not improve. .
             The Nazis introduced many anti-Semitic measures and laws, which cut Jewish rights. Thousands of Jews of all professions were fired. Jewish stores and businesses were closed. Relationships between Germans and Jews were forbidden. Universities, schools, hospitals, theatres, museums and stores were closed to Jews. The Nazis organized pogroms, where they murdered thousand of Jews. But it was only prelude to Jewish struggles, in Holocaust millions of Jews were killed from all over the world.
             Nazism recognized Christianity as their religions but Christ was cut his Jewish roots and was presented as Arian hero. In public schools religious institutions were closed and syllabus were changed. The Gestapo censored church newspapers, arrested clergy who resisted regime. But major part of clergy cooperated with Nazis. Both German Catholic and German Evangelical churches supported Hitler.
             The Ministry of Popular Enlightenment controlled press, book publishing, radio, the theatre and the cinema.
