Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated
NSDAP, commonly known as the Nazi Party
• It was a political party in Germany, founded in January, 1919 by
Anton Drexler. Hitler infiltrated it as a V-Man in 1919 and took

German Workers’ Party (DAP) in 1919:
• Hitler made speeches and wrote articles in local papers about the
party’s beliefs and ideas for a better Germany.
• He spoke passionately about Germany and the need for good leaders,
who would get revenge for Germany’s defeat in WWI.
• By 1921 he was running the party and changes its name to the
National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party)
• He made the Swastika the Nazi symbol and used ‘Brown Shirts’ to
beat up opponents.
National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), commonly known
as the Nazi Party
In 1919 Anton Drexler, Gottfried Feder and Dietrich Eckart formed the
German Worker's Party (GPW) in Munich. The German Army was
worried that it was a left-wing revolutionary group and sent Adolf Hitler,
one of its education officers, to spy on the organization. Hitler
discovered that the party's political ideas were similar to his own. He
approved of Drexler's German nationalism and anti-Semitism but was
unimpressed with the way the party was organized. Although there as a
spy, Hitler could not restrain himself when a member made a point he
disagreed with, and he stood up and made a passionate speech on the
subject.

‘Brownshirts’ or Storm Troopers.
It was the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party.
From 1921 to 1933 the SA disrupted the meetings of
Hitler’s political opponents as well as defended the
halls where Hitler was making speeches.
According to the Nuremberg Military Tribunal (1946 - 1949), the SA was
made up of “ruffians” and “bullies”. However, it played a very important role
in the first years of the Nazi Party.
Many of the original members of the SA had opposed the Versailles Treaty,
fought the brief Bavarian Soviet and opposed the general weakness of the
Weimar government.

8. In 1924 the NSDAP was outlawed and Hitler went to prison. It turned
out to be stroke of good fortune for Hitler. Outline the efforts made to
reorganise the Nazi Party in the period called, the ‘Wilderness Years’ .
• Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to 5 years in prison.
He served from March 1924 until his release on February 27, 1925.
• Hitler had time to write Mein Kampf and it gave him a reputation as a
man whose ideas might be able to help Germany become great.
• Hitler reconsidered his tactics and decided to use the Weimar
system with his policy of legality (through elections.)
• The Party was reorganised and an index of all members was created.
• Hitler persuaded Bavarian Chancellor to lift the ban on the NSDAP in
1925.
• The Schutzstaffel (SS) was created as the bodyguard for Hitler in Nov.
http://www.forvo.com/word/schutzstaffel/
8. ‘Wilderness Years’:
• At the Bamberg Party Conference in February, 1926, Hitler asserted
his ideology and the Führerprinzip. It was a principle that within the
Nazi Party, Hitler possessed all power and authority and extended
downward. At each level, the superior was to give the orders, the
subordinates to follow them to the letter.
http://www.forvo.com/word/f%C3%BChrerprinzip/
• Gauleiter (Gaue) - were set up in the 35 electoral districts of Weimar
Germany. A regional leader in Nazi Germany would serve as a
provincial governor. http://www.forvo.com/search/Gauleiter/
• Hitler attempted to demote the SA.
• The disappointment at the ballot box in May 1928 for the Reichstag,
acted as a stimulus for further reorganisation.
• Hitler tried to target and involve various groups. In 1926 the Hitler
Youth and Nazi Students’ Association were established.
8. ‘Wilderness Years’:
• By 1928 Nazi, organisations were set up for doctors and teachers.
• By 1930, to draw discontented peasants into the
movement, Agrar Politischer Apparat
(AA - Agricultural Affairs Bureau of the NSDAP)
was founded by Walther Darré.
http://www.forvo.com/search/Agrar%20Politischer%20Apparat/
8. ‘Wilderness Years’:
• Joseph Goebbels was a German politician and
Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany
from 1933 to 1945. Goebbels was highly efficient
at spreading the Nazi message. He and Hitler
believed that the best way to reach what they called
‘the masses’ was by appealing to their feelings
rather than by rational argument. Goebbels
produced posters, leaflets, films and radio broadcasts;
he organised rallies; he set up ‘photo opportunities’.
• Despite these shifting policies and priorities, there was no electoral
breakthrough for the Nazis. Even after all their hard work, in 1928 they were
still a fringe minority party who had the support of less than 3% of the
population. They were the smallest party with fewer seats (12) than the
Communists (54). The prosperity of the Stresemann years and Stresemann’s
success in foreign policy made Germans uninterested in extreme politics.

• Although their anti-Semitic policies gained them some support, the Nazis
failed to win over the workers. Workers with radical political views were more
likely to support the Communists.
• The majority of workers supported the socialist Social Democratic Party
(SPD), as they had done in every election since 1919.
• The Nazis found that they gained more support from groups such as the
peasant farmers in northern Germany and middle-class shopkeepers and
small business people in country towns - who were not sharing in Weimar
Germany’s economic prosperity.
• The Nazis highlighted the importance of the peasants (35% of population) in
their plans for Germany, promising to help agriculture if they came to power.
They praised the peasants as racially pure Germans through Nazi propaganda,
and portrayed city-dwellers as immoral and corrupted by Jews.

right-wing party opposed the TOV and was critical of the power of
the trade unions. Led by the wealthy newspaper magnate, Alfred
Hugenberg, the DNVP won 66 seats in the Reichstag in the 1920
General Election. This grew to 103 in December, 1924.

bedrock of growing Nazi support was established in those who
thought ‘they might be next’ and lose their job - the Mittlestand

• Elections to the Reichstag rose from 12 seats in 1928 to 107 in 1930
(an increase from 800,000 votes to 6.4 million), second only to
SPD/SDP (143).
• The 1930 election victory acted as a stimulus for membership. From
September to December 1930, nearly 100,000 new members joined
the NSDAP, with particular expansion of peasants in the countryside
and the Agrar Politischer Apparat (AA). http://www.forvo.com/search/Agrar%20Politischer%20Apparat/
• Hitler further gained ‘legitimacy’ through his crackdown on the more
radical party members of the SA, such as Strasser and Stennes in
1931. It helped Hitler by showing that his leadership was committed
to ‘LEGALITY’.

SOURCE 46, p. 156, Walsh Book
The majority of Germans never voted for the Nazis.
The Nazis made it clear they would destroy democracy and all who
stood in their way. Why then didn’t their enemies join together to stop
Hitler? . . . Had the Communists and Socialists joined forces they would
probably have been strong enough both in the Reichstag and on the
streets to have blocked the Nazis. The fact was that by 1932–3 there
were simply not enough Germans who believed in democracy and
individual freedom to save the Weimar Republic.
S Williams, in The Rise and Fall of Hitler’s Germany, published in 1986,
assesses the reasons for Hitler’s success.
• Prussia was governed by a coalition of the Social Democrats, Catholic
Centre and German Democrats from 1919 - 1932.
• From 1921 to 1925, coalition governments included the German People's
Party.
• The Nazi Party gained more and more influence and popular support,
especially from the lower middle class starting in 1930.
• The East Prussian Otto Braun, who was Prussian minister-president almost
continuously from 1920 to 1932.
• Many historians regard the Prussian government during this time as far
more successful than that of Weimar Germany as a whole. This system was
destroyed by the Preußenschlag (Prussian coup http://www.forvo.com/word/preu%C3%9Fenschlag/) of Reich Chancellor
Franz von Papen.
• The Prussian government was deposed on 20 July 1932, under the pretext
that it lost control of public order in Prussia (during the Bloody Sunday of
Altona, Hamburg). Defence Minister, General Kurt von Schleicher
manufactured evidence that the Prussian police, under Braun's orders,
were favouring the Communist Rotfrontkämpferbund (Red Front-Fighters)
in street clashes with the SA as part of a plan for a Marxist revolution.
President Paul von Hindenburg imposed a presidential decree with Reich
control over Prussia.
Federal States of
the Weimar
Republic
As Prussian Prime Minister, Otto
Braun led a Social Democratic
(SPD) - Center Party coalition from
1920 to 1932. Braun was one of a
few Weimar politicians who
offered an alternative to far right
groups like the Nazis, and he was
also the most popular pro-Weimar
politician. Prussia achieved the
greatest stability during Braun's
years in office, making Prussia the
bulwark of the Weimar Republic.

2 - 1. Discussion Point, p. 124 - Nazis use electoral success:
• By July 1932, the Nazis secured 37.3% of the vote and 230 seats
in the Reichstag. This proved that the Nazis had a mandate and
legitimacy from the German people, which von Papen and von
Schleicher 'wanted to use' against the left (Communist KPD).
• The Nazis were an attractive ally because they were a mass
movement with a broad base, when other parties (and the
Reichstag) were losing support.
• The Nazis attracted the Mittlestand (lower middle class), as well
as those of other parties, especially the DNVP.
