Development of the Nazi Party in Germany and the Strength of
Hitler's Role
In order to analyse
the Nazi Party's development through 1922-1939 it is crucial that we examine
those fundamental aspects concerning the historical and contemporary factors
surrounding both the formation of the Nazi Party, and Hitler's contribution to
the party both before and after the Nazi regime came to power. This being historically the unpopularity of the Weimar Republic,
demonstrated by political unrest and economic instability. The
contemporary factors being the apparent economic boom fuelled by the Dawes Plan
and the disastrous effects of the Wall Street Crash resulting in mass
unemployment, the parties close links with the Sturm Abteilung
(SA or Brown Shirts), the Nazi's focus on German unemployment and how this was
directly related to the Nazi Party's rise in electoral strength, and finally
the Nazi's method of administration and it's effecting results throughout the
1930's. In addition to this it is essential that we analyze the party's
propagandist system, this in relation to Hitler and Hitler's own
self-development aiding a 'cult of personality' and the then, developing effect
on both the party internally and external party popularity
