By , the SA had grown to 15, men and had access to hidden stores of weapons. The regular army crushed the rebellion and Hitler spent a year in prison—in loose confinement.
The book brought together, in inflamed language, the racialist and expansionist ideas he had been propagating in his popular beer-hall harangues. Image: Bundesarchiv, Bild S Adolf Hitler giving the Nazi salute at a rally in Nuremburg in By , the Nazis were the largest political party in the Reichstag.
In January of the following year, with no other leader able to command sufficient support to govern, President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Hitler chancellor of Germany. Shortly thereafter, a fire broke out in the Reichstag building in Berlin, and authorities arrested a young Dutch communist who confessed to starting it. Hitler used this episode to convince President Hindenburg to declare an emergency decree suspending many civil liberties throughout Germany, including freedom of the press, freedom of expression, and the right to hold public assemblies.
He expanded the army tremendously, reintroduced conscription, and began developing a new air force—all violations of the Treaty of Versailles.
His regime also suppressed the Communist Party and purged his own paramilitary storm troopers, whose violent street demonstrations alienated the German middle class.
In , Hitler began his long-promised expansion of national boundaries to incorporate ethnic Germans. The Czechs looked to Great Britain and France for help, but hoping to avoid war—they had been bled white in World War I—these nations chose a policy of appeasement. The following year, the German army swallowed up the remainder of Czechoslovakia.
I believe it is peace for our time. After being released from prison, Hitler vowed to work within the parliamentary system to avoid a repeat of the Beer Hall Putsch setback. And he went from Chancellor to dictator in a matter of months. If Trump is elected president next month, he will instantly have more power than Hitler had when he was appointed chancellor of Germany in It is true that the United States in is in far better shape economically than Germany was in the early s.
It is also true that US democracy has already survived about years of constitutional challenges, depressions, megalomaniacs, and wars — unlike the fragile Weimar Republic that was Germany after World War I. But Trump already has more popular support than Hitler had before he eliminated Germany's democracy.
Trump's party has more control of the government than the Nazis did. And President Trump would be the commander in chief of a military whose weaponry and power Hitler and the Nazis could only have dreamed of. So it seems worth briefly reviewing this period of history and thinking about how it might be relevant to today. For most of the s, Hitler was a fringe-party rabble-rouser.
In , as the leader of the tiny Nazi party, he incited a violent attempt to overthrow the government and got himself thrown in prison for treason a short stay that he later used to his advantage.
Hitler was a talented and mesmerizing speaker, and his speeches appealed to primal emotion and resentment rather than logic.
His basic message was simple and familiar :. Thanks to the incompetence and weakness of its leaders, the once-great nation of Germany had been reduced to a humiliating shadow of its former self.
After a period of economic instability and hyper-inflation in the early s, Germany's Weimar economy stabilized. Even by the end of the decade, after nearly ten years of selling their story, Hitler and the Nazis were still viewed as extremist cranks. As the shockwaves from the crash and Great Depression spread, Germany's economic situation deteriorated rapidly. Violence and political unrest increased. Unemployment in Germany from to Economic distress creates an understandable desperation for change.
And in the misery that was Germany's economy after the crash, two formerly fringe parties on opposite ends of the political spectrum gained support — the communists and the Nazis. Germany's economy after the Great Crash of The rise of the Nazis and communists fragmented Germany's government and created a power vacuum. More centrist political parties failed to unite in opposition.
And over the next two years, as Germany's economy continued to deteriorate and unemployment skyrocketed, Hitler and the Nazis expertly exploited the situation, campaigning relentlessly via propaganda, speeches, and intimidation. In the spring of , at the height of the depression, Hitler himself ran for president. A few months later, at the end of January , believing that he could appease Hitler while still controlling him, President Hindenburg appointed Hitler as chancellor, the leader of the government.
At this point, the Nazis had amassed more power than any other political party in Germany, but still lacked a majority in the Reichstag.
Germany still had a free press and a president, and German citizens still had basic civil rights. As chancellor, moreover, Hitler still did not control Germany's military or foreign affairs. And President Hindenburg still had the power to fire him. Hitler persuaded Hindenburg to dissolve the Reichstag and set a date for new elections in early March, , with the goal of winning a Nazi majority.
In the lead-up to the vote, the Nazis waged a campaign of fear, arguing that the rival communist party was planning to take over Germany by means of a violent revolution. Then, a week before the election, Hitler either brilliantly orchestrated or brilliantly capitalized on or both an event that allowed the Nazis to frame the communist takeover story as a seemingly self-evident reality.
On the night of February 27, , a fire ravaged the Reichstag building in Berlin. The Reichstag fire, February Wikipedia. Historians still argue about whether the fire was set by a lone-wolf communist or planned as a "false flag" operation by the Nazis.
Hitler declared that the fire had been the first strike in the communist revolution that the Nazis had warned about. The next day, he persuaded Hindenburg to enact a law known as the "Reichstag Fire Decree," ostensibly to protect the German people from the forthcoming communist rampage.
The Reichstag Fire Decree suspended most civil rights in Germany — freedom of the press, freedom of expression, habeas corpus, rights to privacy. Hitler would never again restore them. The Reichstag Fire Decree also allowed the Nazis to start rounding up members of the communist party and throwing them in jail, an effective way to neutralize political opponents.
With help from an allied party, this gave them a simple majority. But it did not give them enough to fulfill Hitler's ultimate goal — the passage of an "Enabling Act" that would give Hitler the power to change laws without the Reichstag. To do that, the Nazis needed a two-thirds majority. On March 15, , Hitler held his first cabinet meeting as chancellor, during which he outlined his plans to pass the Enabling Act. The vote was set for nine days later, on March By that time, thanks to the powers granted by the Reichstag Fire Decree, most members of the communist party in the Reichstag were in jail or in hiding, thus neutralizing one major voting bloc.
Hitler struck a deal with the Catholic-led Centre party, promising that Catholic civil liberties and schools would be protected in exchange for its support. And the Nazis intimidated or detained enough members of the one remaining major party to ensure the Act's passage.
