Hitler and National Socialism
National Socialism was perceived by its originators and revolutionary movement. It claimed that German, "Aryan" people are bonded by their innermost disposition as a organic community, and thus at one with a political party which recognizes the intrinsic value of blood, personality, and soil which identifies them as a race. That endeavor is race determined was claimed by the Nazis, a belief rapidly accepted by a majority of educated as well as formally uneducated Germans. In their propagated ideology, Hitler and his cohorts were successful in taking advantage of the people's frustrated expectations by persuading them to believe that the Great War was lost because they had been stabbed in the back by Jewish exploiters and that now Germany's existence was threatened by communists and social democrats. Further, it was claimed that the people were being ruined economically by war reparations imposed on them by the victorious Allies in the form of the Versaille Treaty, as well as other external, unfair, exploitative demands.
The core of National Socialism/Hitlerism was racial anti-Semitism. Hitler declared that the Jews were held responsible for all the evil, inequities and problems in German society. In contrast, Germans, Hitler declared, were a superior race of Aryans, a heroic master race.
Hitler’s Personality
Hitler promised the people employment and the return to socio-economic well-being. He presented himself as a prophet and was so portrayed by his paladins and followers. He possessed charismatic appeal and was experienced by multitudes as a captivating orator who gave them hope and they willing submitted to his wishes and dictates. Joseph Goebbels and other Nazi leaders availed themselves of modern technology to spread Nazi ideological propaganda to reinforce Hitler's personal power and appeal. A personality cult was developed which made the people stand in awe of Hitler. Hitler was accepted as supreme leader who could not fail and do no wrong.
Hitler also displayed an increasingly unstable personality with a terrible temper. At times he was quite reasonable but he was always prone to sudden outbursts of rage especially when he was corrected on anything. Hitler was also prone to sudden bursts of inspiration and had many interesting ideas but never finished anything he started.
Hitler was also recalled as undisciplined and moody, always hanging around the men's home, eager to discuss politics and often making speeches to the residents. He usually flew into a rage if anyone contradicted him.
Despite Hitler’s personality, he was well-known by many as a strong leader who could rule Germany with great power.
