HOW
EFFECTIVELY DID
THE NAZI’S DEAL
WITH THEIR
POLITICAL
OPPONENTS?
By: Razeen & Osayil
POLITICAL OPPONENTS
 Hitler opposed the Communists because they were one of his main
rivals.
 Hitler opposed the Jews because he thought the Jews were holding the
economy back and stabbed them in the back after the war was done.
 Hitler opposed the Church because the Church had lots of influence
over the people and he wanted to replace the Church with Nazism. So
they pray to him instead of to god. Had speakers such as Bonhoeffer
and Niemoller and criticized Nazis in sermons and in poetry.
 Hitler opposed the Youth Party (School, Music bands, Community)
because he couldn’t get an education in the School Of Arts and held a
grudge against schools in general. He band jazz music because they let
the Jews in the clubs and also the jazz music was linked to the Jews.
HOW THE NAZI'S DEALT WITH THEIR
OPPONENTS
 He got rid of the Communists through the Enabling act.
 People were publicly hung, clubs were raided and everyone who was
involved were sent to Gulags. He also executed them.
 Jews – In may 1943 he captured 56,000 Jews were caught. 7,000 were
shot and the rest were sent to killing centers.
 Church – Bonhoeffer was sent to a concentration camp and died in
1945 because he was hung. Niemoller was arrested and given a
suspended sentence.
 SA became a threat to Hitler in 1934 and then they were removed by
Hitler who ordered the SS to kill them and Rohm who was the leader
of the SA. This was called the Night of the Long Knives.
This is how Hitler hung people in public to humiliate them
and was his way of warning people of what would happen
if they did the same thing.
Deaths in the Gulag
A very detailed photo of what happened at the Concentration camps
This is where they would put people to burn them if they had done something wrong. It is
like the death sentence and being hung.
VARIOUS WAYS OF BEING KILLED
 There were more then one way of being killed.
 The first was humiliation.
 The Nazi’s started off with hanging people in public to show others
what would happen to them if they were to go against them.
 The second was slow and painful.
 The Gulags was a place where they put people to work and didn’t treat
them with care. It was a place for people who were thought to have
gone against or gone against the Nazi’s.
THE EFFETENESS OF HOW THE NAZI'S
DEALT WITH THEIR OPPONENTS
 It was very violent and threatening
 It worked but it also created dislike to the Nazi party
 Was many ways that groups tried to oppose
