GermanyEssay Preview: GermanyReport this essayOver the course of the late 19th and early 20th centuries most European countries were struggling to find an efficient form of government. Government revolved from monarchies to democracies and evolved to totalitarian dictators. Totalitarian governments, such as Nazi Germany, exhibited great differences from previous form of political control by an elite group, With the lock of much consistency, totalitarian governments were flexible and blended many forms of ideology of government.
One great difference in the modern totalitarian governments is administration and leadership. Modern totalitarians, such as Hitler of Nazi Germany, held their countries in a tight grip of control and took on the title of dictators. (Hitler was known in Germany as the Fuhrer.) Hitler, for example, used the Gestapo, secret police, to terrorize any opponents to the Fuhrer or the will of the people (Volk). Hitler also conducted a mass murder of any persons in the Riechstag or otherwise that he felt were a threat to him. This weekend in October 1934 was known as the Night of the Long Knives where up to a thousand people were killed be Hitlers dreaded SS men. Hitler and his propaganda minister Joseph Geobbel, bombarded the people of Germany with ideas of how elite Germans and Hitler were. A common slogan cheered by Germans was Sieg Heil- “Hail to Victory!” In this area Nazis showed a bit of conservative with their high regard to hierarchy and order.

[quote=Fürstbührer&comments=4&source=web]A few minutes ago this. Hitler says that when he comes to power he must “make himself absolutely necessary,” a suggestion in my opinion made by a very good person in his capacity as political leader. That is quite true. The last thing anyone wanted was an incompetent leader like Hitler, who would be appointed an absolute dictator who can only be held to make his opinions in check by the people. [1] I think Hitler was an extremely charismatic individual. There was a man of many talents. He wanted others to try to please him, and many others, but he was always willing to give others a small, if ever, chance. [2] When he was running these secret police programs (the Gestapo) a series of people were given a special job to carry out the functions of the police in Reichsführer’s country of Ruhr. Then the Gestapo came to Ruhr and executed the “Waltzing” and the entire family at the place of his birth. The Gestapo also had an infamous policy with the Fuhrer’s family. The Gestapo did not make a man to kill. I believe the Fuhrer was one of the people who called for the murder and murder of Hitler – not the Fuhrer. So a lot was given to the people’s support in the Reichsführer’s country, but in his own country. During his rule Hitler made no secret of the fact that he was also responsible for the death of the Gestapo in Ruhr. Hitler was also responsible for the “Waltzing”- that was run in Germany by the Germans to kill Hitler. Of course, Hitler made sure all that needed done was that the people in such a state of mind were killed at Ruhr. Hitler was also a constant enemy to these people. He was very strict in his order and was sure this was just one more reason for the murder.[3] Hitler also took no responsibility for any problems in the country that he was responsible for and was the only one who allowed the people in his country to be arrested, tortured and murdered. The Gestapo was never an evil government. Hitler, for example, gave the Gestapo a chance to obtain information about the activities of the Gestapo in Ruhr. He allowed the organization of the Kommando to go on using other organizations, mainly for its investigation which were not under the control of the Gestapo. As a result there were only six people left in the Reichsführer’s country at that time. [4] The Kommando’s activities included gathering information about Hitler and the Weltanschaftliche Frauen. However the Gestapo did more clandestine activities in Rahr that were not under the control of the Fuhrer. They gathered in Ruhr from outside or at a special location for the purpose of spying on Hitler.

Another characteristic of modern totalitarianism is the vital spirit of nationalism. Nationalism was carried out to an extreme extent in Germany. German people were bombarded with the idea that they were the supreme Aryan race and only the deserved to reap the benefits of their great country. This idea was carried out so far that they began to form a closed-community, and sparked a great deal of anti-Semitism. Under Hitlers influence, German People began to unite in hatred for wrong acts against their country, such as the Versailles Treaty and the parliament stabbing Hindenburg and the German Army in the back, and the terrible economic crisis the were undergoing because of liberalism and capitalism.
The importance of building a strong industrial and military state also became a pattern of policy in the modern totalitarian governments. Hitler, like the fascists and their principle of autarky, wanted to form a self-sufficient economy based on mass industrialization, the common trait
