Answer 1

good question.whilst Hitler and Herman
Goering were prisoners at the end of ww1 they set about a revolution that would overthrow the then kaiser dominated german 2nd riech.it was here that he wrote his book mien kampf(my strugle)it`s very hard going and rants on a bit ,it`s a bit like an attempt at opposing karl Mark`s therums on socialism.it`s still in print but dont bother just check it on the internet.after they were relaesed after the armastice 11 11 1918 Hitler returned to his native Austria to paint and to further his political theories of national socialisme a far right political movement.At that time through the 1920`s germany was very much left up to its own devices albeit under the eyes of the allies(UK france USA russia)who having imposed the washington treaty of 1922 limiting the total tonage of capitol ships(battleships)saw germany`s navies all but totally depleted.rampant inflation and a big time feel bad situation in germany left several political voids.into which stepped heir Hitler and his cronies .He like many at the time saw the jewish German population as being the only section of society that appeared to be profiting from the inward collapse of germany.they cotrolled the banks /industry and investments both domestic and foriegn.they were by this simple fact to be the one section of German society that would be blamed for all the woes of the common man.who at the time wanted to know who was to blame.
Hitler through his speaches on soap boxes pointed this out to the eager listeners who would believe anyone .all they wanted was to blame someone.we in the 1980`s loved to blame Thatcher for all the UK`s problems.He rose slowly to power through rigged elections backed by a group of armed loyal supporters called the brown shirts.they were even in Hitlers words nothing more than street thugs.people were in fear and would go along with the brown shirts just to suvive.they wouldn`t shop in jewish shops and openly supported hitler although they kept thier own beliefs quiet .the ailing kiaser Wilhelm was losing his grip of power on the Riechstag(government) and had little or no respect from the people.at the time most of the rest of the worlld had its eyes turned away,the 20`s and 30`s were good times for most except in the general strike of 1926 in the uk and the wall street crash of 1936 USA domestic troubles kept us looking the other way whilst some were looking on enviously some could see the coming storm clouds.Hitler slowly grew his power base collecting around him many names,Goering,Himler,Gerbles.in 1932 he saw a chance at an almost bloodless revolution,he had the Riechstag burned to the ground by sabouters it became known as das crystal nacht (the crystal night)at the same time he had every brown shirt murdered all 5000 of them in one night by his new bodyguard das SS adolf hitler regiment..the people were in shock .who had destroyed the Riechstag?? well not suprisingly the jews.no it was the government. or so they were told by hitler.and there you have it.he was in power and he wasnt going to give it up.declaring a new third riech, a 1000 year riech.interlects new they had to get out but a wave of fear had gripped the fledgling German riech.nobody dare speek out they had heard of what happened to those who had and the dissappearance of the brown shirts.it was that simple.Hitler could now start to set up new laws restricting jewish ownership and control of the economy.passing new laws every day to disenfranchise the jew and empower hitler.anexing Austria,the sudetan land ,incorporating Bavaria was the next step.outlawing mixed arian/jewish marriages was next.he built up the military much to the peoples delight and briefly made germany great.he had built autobahns,the worlds 1st motorways and had built a car everyone could afford even bt easy terms payments and it was called the volkswagon(peoples car)beetle!!! you can still get one today!!! the German navy could be proud again and the army was trained in a new type of war devised by general von Rhunstad called the blitz krieg(lightening war)i won`t go into the details of this. Hitler was unimpressed by Neville Chaimbalins apeasments in 1939 and had his own agenda for europe,in sept` 1939 he partitioned Poland with the Russians and then could look west to his old enemy France,we had a pact with Poland that said if they were attacked we would come to thier defence.it has often been called ww1 and ww2 but in fact it was nothing more than the great european civil war with a 20 year armistce in the middle starting in 1914 and to and in 1945. Hitler wanted to purify the arian race to blond hair and blue eyes.a tutonic knight exsistance and found all manner of ways to support this claim.hitting out at the jews was just one step.6,000,000 jews were murdered along with some 30.000 french resistance fighters,45,000 gipsies counless gay,politacal prisoners and mentally retarded peolple.an estimated 3,000.000 russian prisoners of war through gassing bullets and forced starvation .the 1000 year reich lasted just 13 years,killed some 52,000,000 people not including untold millions of chinese .
the war saw outside powers sweeping in from the east and west with no real european winner Russia got eastern europe,Germany was rebuilt,Amarica finished the war twice as rich as it had started,and Britain lost its empire,and had sugar rationing up to 1953???who won?Germany Japan USA.who lost?Great Britain and eastern europe!!!niether Russia or America wanted the war but found themselves presiding over it`s outcomethe UK only contributed some25% of the total UK/USA war effort.
and do you know what the saddest part of it all was??we havn`t learnt a bloody thing.
this is an addition to this long essay... sorry to add on after submition.
Who did most of the killing?The SS (short for Shultzstaffle)the Totenkopfe division of the SS was responsible for most of the concentration camp killings they surrendered in late 1945 about 45 of them from a strength of about 8,000 other SS regiments were involved but they bore the brunt.they were also feared in the field by the enemy for thier ruthlesness.the Waffen SS was the armed wing of the SS (meaning armed)the Das furher regiment and the Adolf Hitler regiment was mainly engaged in homeland defence and not given tanks artillery etc.The gestapo (shortening of their name Gehiem Stastpolitze)were the German state secret police.The Einstatze Regiment of about 300 men were the initial murderers in eastern europe doing all thier killing by bullets.they were dissbanded in 1942 and none of them survived the war.and believe it or not there was even a SS England regiment of about 23 men,not much is known about them but it is believed they all died on the Russian front.other SS regiments included Das reich,Nordland ,Holland,Das duetchland,polskie,Himler. i hope this helps you out

Answer 2

It started during the 20 or early 30s when Germany was still suffering under the terms of the Armistice. They didn't have much money and inflation was rampant (a wheelbarrow full of notes to buy a dozen eggs) The perception grew that only the Jews were doing well and resentment built up. Hitler played on this perception when he was canvassing for power. He succeeded very well with the formation of the Brown Shirts (SD) which was eventually superseded by the SS. We all know what happened then. The dreadful thing is that the Jews were innocent of the accusations that were made.

This is the worst crime against humanity because it singled out a specific race for extemination. Gypsies and gays followed. Even Stalin, who was a monster, didn't single out racial groups. He just ran pogroms against the Russians which probably accounted for more than who died in the Holocaust. I sincerely hope that both these monsters are rotting in hell. Both these terrible occurences occurred during my lifetime and I always found it incredible and frightening that this could happen in the 20th century but I don't think that we are out of the woods yet.

Answer 3

I'll try and be as concise as I can

The demands on Germany after the first world war were crippling for the economy. Unrest was rife throughout Germany in the late 20's early 30's because of this. Hitler, with the help of Rohm and his brown shirts capitalised on this and gain a political position as German chancellor in 1933. Hitler, as you can imagine was delusional and thought that the German (and British which people forget) were the most race, with the Russian Slavs, Jews Gypsies etc.. biologically sub human and inferior to them. Concentration camps sprang up to house political opponents initially and Jews were deported. This wasn't possible when war broke out, and the final solution was thought of in 1942, resulting in the holocaust. He was opposed, none more so than by Churchill, but Britain & France were war weary, so they tried to appease him allowing Hitler to scoff at the Versaille treaty and create a powerful army.

A lot of many other factors are there but you asked for simple plain words, hope this helps

Afternote: to the first poster your comments are at best niave at worst frightning. "Dont even go there" what are you on people should be encouraged to learn about the events of the second world war, how else can we learn

Answer 4

Why? --- And you think that's a simple question?

I guess Hitler is the reason why. Antisemitism was a strong sentiment accross Europe (still is), Hitler used it, and once the nazis came up with a way to slaughter people efficiently, they loaded up trains. As disgusting as it sounds. germany was highly centralised, militarilised and at war, so they could do pretty much anything and get away with it; they imposed terror on the people, so 99.9% of people within their conquered territories shut up and did not react... On their hands are the blood of millions, but hey, no one ever cares about the others do they?

A.H. was appointed Chancellor by the old president Hindenburg, the biggest mistake in history. He had the biggest party, did not mean he ahd to become chancellor, but he did... He turned out worse than predicted.

Answer 5

Excelent question.

After first WorldWar, Germany was in terrible situation. People starving in streets, national proud down, people burning money in the streets to keep warm. ... and small elite of bankers and few industrials with really huge amount of money.

Hitler comes to save Germany and its people. Brought proud (Arians), huge industrial achievments (Proud and incentive)and divided money (most keep in banks that were rulled by Jews). His argues were just an excuse to get money and distribute it through the state and increase national industry. In just few years, complete destroied country stand up and almost conquered entire Europe. Impressive achievment.

Really sad that he lost control and his mind somewhere and his argues started to rule/lead into a really badlands.

Killings started late during the war, not exaclty from the first beginning. There are revisionists which argument says that Germans were running out of supplies to keep all those prisioners. They just choose between prisioners and keep battlefront.

Holocaust killed Russians, Handicaps, Gipsy, Polish and jews, despite general view regarding exclusivelly hebrew view (only that claims for monetary compensation).

Answer 6

It all started with Adolf Hitler, who was extremely messed up in the head. He had this grand idea of a "master race" where everyone had blonde hair and blue eyes and nice, straight white teeth and perfect physiques...you get the idea. Those who were disabled did not fit in to that ideal, so Hitler's solution was that humanity was better off without them.

As for the Jews, Hitler saw the Jews as the root of all evil in the world. Not sure why -- maybe it was the paranoia, maybe some Jewish person did him or his family wrong early in life, maybe he was indoctrinated into an anti-Jew hate group -- but the point is Hitler made Jews into his own personal scapegoats. When he rose to power, the German economy had collapsed and life for most Germans was equal to what people in American slums live in now. With Hitler pointing the finger at the Jews, the country now had someone to blame and someone to punish for their hard times.

You have to understand that life in Germany when Hitler rose to power was considered by the Germans to be Hell on Earth. Hitler turned the German economy around and life did get better under his leadership, so the vast majority of Germans looked the other way when it came to Jews or the disabled. As Hitler developed his war machine, the other countries in Europe took notice but they were not anxious to start another war (World War I devastated most of Europe, and the other countries didn't even have a chance to fully repair/rebuild from World War I by the time World War II officially kicked off). So what we ended up with is a very deranged, very powerful dictator who took over a good chunk of Europe without a single shot being fired before some of the Europeans wised up and realized Hitler was bent on world domination. If the U.S. and the U.K. had stepped in earlier, chances are very good that the number of people killed in World War II could have been cut in half. Since then, the U.S. has had the military posture of being prepared for all-out war with the most heavily armed countries in the world.

Does that help?

Answer 7

The HOLOCAUST started long time ago, exactly when nobody knows. It is a Greek translation for the Hebrew OLAH which means the penis going up into an erection. It is a bit complicated so you have to learn it to find out. As to the propaganda type HOLOCAUST it started wheh JEHOVAH God commanded JEWISH boys to Gang Rape 32,000 virgin baby girls after butchering all non-virgins which you can read in Numbers 31:35. After you read this you won't have to worry about it anymore as Jews and Çhristians do their Holocaust thing accoding to the commands of Rabbi Bush. As to the semantics you get all the information by reading the journal PORNOCAUST.

Answer 8

Everybody has a different opinion, mine is "There is no excuse for killing 6million people" (No matter what religion) 1 is bad enough. Unfortunatly a lot of people are ignorant and will not want to accept others views. Your carryinging the right view right now.

Anyhow...there are many versions of how it started. I wouldn't even go there!

Answer 9

My grandfather told my mum that after WWI people in Germany were starving and even ate dogs. The Jews apparently hoarded food and money while others starved and so became hated for this. Don't know if there's any truth to this.
