January 1933 Adolf Hitler was voted into power under the German
government. Over the course of 2 months Hitler had sized the dictatorial power
and outlawed all political opposition. The Nazis killed and imprisoned over
100,000 Communist, union members, and many other groups in just the first few
months since Hitler was given power in the German government. During this time
Hitler formed a one party government and made his military officers swear an
oath that they would give unconditional obedience to the Leader of the German
Reich and people, Adolf Hitler. Spies were created so that if any German
citizen was acting against Hitler’s ruling the spies would punish them. Hitler
expected ever citizen in Germany to salute him and shout “Heil Hitler”. He made
people live in fear knowing that if he was to raise his hand at the Nazi’s that
deaths would be his lot. The Jewish society even though it only made up 1
percent of the German population was a huge target for Hitler and his Nazis he
thought they polluted the purity of Aryan blood he also thought gypsies,
homosexuals, chronically ill, and the mentally or physical disable had this
same problem. The Jews and undesirables were thrown into centration camps,
stole from them which the Nazis profited from this cruel and heart less act.
Though Hitler was able to change the unemployment rate from 11 million to 1
million in 7 years he was a cruel and evil person. Within twelve years Hitler
murdered tens of thousands of innocent people and left Germany in smoldering
ruins.
