when did the nazis take power in germany?

Question

i am aware that Hitler became president in 1934, and that the nazis were around long before that. but i am a little bit confused. when was it that the nazis really began to have a large influence on the german population?

Answer 1

1934 is a good place to start. Hitler did not get the majority of the votes in the elections, he just got more than anyone else.

Answer 2

The Nazis began to have a large influence in Germany right after the Great Depression started. The German economy collapsed and the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (Nazis) gave the German people a scapegoat for their problems by putting out the propoganda that it was the fault of the Jews and the Bolsheviks. So, then they had more success in politics and gained more influence because they had started gaining the support of desperate people.

Answer 3

My answer would be June 30, 1934. This is what is called the "night of the long knives." Also, Ernst Rohm was killed, that day, and therefore his SA (brownshirts) group could no longer be deemed a threat to Hitler and the rest of the Nazi party.

Answer 4

The president Otto von Hindenburg named Hitler chancellor (prime minister) in Jan. 1933. From about 1925, when Hitler was released from the Landsberg prison in Bavaria because of an attempted coup in Munich, his party increasingly attracted followers.

Answer 5

You need to read 'The Rise and fall of the Third Reich' by William L. Shirer, 'The coming of the Third Reich' by Richard J. Evans or my essay 'Weimar, the Nazis and the coming of war' in 'Berlin A journey in time and place'.

Answer 6

in about 1925, but they gained full power after The night of long knives in which Ernst Roehm was killed with many other associates.
