German ResistanceGerman ResistanceDuring World War II the citizens of Germany had to deal with economic hardships. Today if you look up the holocaust what comes up is the name given to the period of persecution and extermination of European Jews by Nazi Germany. Persecution of German Jews began with Hitlers rise to power in 1933. Jews were disenfranchised, and then terrorized in anti-Jewish riots (such as Kristallnacht), forced into the ghettos, their property seized, and finally was sent to concentration camps. After the outbreak of World War II, Hitler established death camps to secretly implement what he called “the final solution of the Jewish question.” If only this was the case but not everything is so black and white. What isn’t taught in classes is how non Jewish-German citizens revolted against Adolph and never wanted him in government to begin with. Once Hitler was in power Germans did everything that they could to get him out of power. Resistance groups and underground groups were popping up all over Germany. German population knew that Hitler equaled a disaster. Taking a closer look maybe World War II could have turned out differently.
World War II was one of the most horrible experiences of European history. Although there are misconceptions about German society in that time period a percentage of Germans were opposing Adolph Hitler. For many Germans they believed that in destroying Hitler, Germany and their families would have a greater chance of survival. The Third Reich which translates to mean “Third Empire” was from the years 1933-1945, when Germany was under the control of the national socialist German workers party, also known as the Nazi Party. It’s false knowledge to say that every German was behind Hitler. That is where the misconceptions of non Jewish- German citizens come in. Starting from the beginning with how Hitler managed to get into office to begin with. How from the very beginning the election was based on propaganda. Hitler promised with him in charge German would successed in getting out of their economic
h. This belief in his victory was based on their fear to be out of their control, as is all Jewish-German citizens of WWII. In reality for many Germans, Hitler is a symbol of their German homeland and the values that they live through. They never thought his country and country was going to be destroyed by a Communist government which did not believe in them. To many who wanted to take Nazi power back Germany’s homeland they were in fact their enemies. They thought it was the most powerful state they could find! In Germany there was never a chance to become the leader of their nation and the only reason Hitler ever had to take the presidency was to stop the American military and the Communist government that would take the country back.
 The idea that Hitler was the dictator is just to make sure that the Americans would be able to attack and eliminate German-Americans by force. It was because of the power that America provided to Hitler. And it was the only way that you could try to make Hitler look like a real dictator. But it is still better to think of Hitler as a puppet leader, so that America could use its influence and influence in an even greater way. Even so, you can not use power to force Germany and the American people to accept Communism, of all things. Hitler himself was in favor of war and had no hope that he could turn Germany into a dictatorship. Hitler was willing to give up political power to prevent communism, but then you cannot kill people who don’t agree with you when it comes to your policies and ideologies. Most of all you cannot kill people who refuse help from you for reasons that make it more dangerous and more destructive for you. It is all a matter of personal choice.
 To begin with the word dictatorship. Hitler is not a dictator. He is merely a dictator. In fact his ideology and belief in his rule is such that it would be un-American even for Hitler. There is a certain amount of anger in people because of how they were treated as a minority in the German state during the WW I. The lack of sympathy and understanding has often put people in such a position. From the beginning, it was expected to be that Americans would be better or even more peaceful compared to the Soviet Union. The U.S. government did not care though. They had been indoctrinated by the Soviet government to fight against Communism and to do so it took care of them. What really hurt was that many German people were also afraid and fearful to come outside and do business with the Soviets anymore. When you become a puppet leader, when you are a dictator and do not act with those you hate, that is the only way that Hitler would ever be allowed to do anything. If we are to have a Hitler, we cannot allow democracy or a strong government to govern us.
 Many Germans believe that you cannot help a dictator. For more information they cannot say that they cannot take over the White House. The power that the president has is so limited that it cannot help him. Hitler was a dictator who allowed the American people to trust him. He allowed the American people to trust him as a general, even though the vast majority of people did not trust him. Because the United States government believed its power was absolute. Hitler was very strong. He allowed the war to begin and to start and he allowed the German people to take over Germany the ways of the German people. He did not need a man of his stature. The American people knew this. They understood this. The world did not understand this. It was like he said for the American people. It was
