Psychology of Hitler: Home

… with predictions of his future behavior and suggestions for dealing with him now and after Germany's surrender.

Hitler was appointed Chancellor in January 1933. His rise to power was the result of many factors: the impact of the Depression, the weaknesses of Weimar democracy and the strengths of the Nazi party.

Propaganda was central to Nazi Germany and the German Democratic Republic. The German Propaganda Archive includes both propaganda itself and material produced for the guidance of propagandists.

This is a mass pamphlet issued by the Nazis during the second round of the 1932 presidential campaign, held on 10 April. Hitler did well in the first round, forcing a run-off. The Nazi hope was to win a majority in the second round. This pamphlet was released within a week or two of that election, and aims to present Hitler as the only person able to save Germany, a capable politician who has been slandered by a fightened opposition. It seems to be aimed at the electorate in general rather than a specific group.
