The Group's Opinion of Hitler's Success

Our group believes that Hitler's rise to power was due to his ideology, leadership abilities and charisma. His seniors and his Colonel was impressed of him and he eventually became a guest speaker at the German Workers' Party. Without his talent of public speaking, he wouldn't have presented his ideology very well in front of the German Workers' Party. He wouldn't have driven the people to gain back their nationalist spirit to fight back for Germany. His ideas played a big part on capturing the hearts of fellow Germans in that time -all those blaming the Jews, the Communists- Hitler was agreeable, that is why he gained a lot of support from the citizens (well, except from the Reds and the Jews, of course) While his popularity rise, he grabbed attentions of influential and powerful men that could help him. Of course, this was business and Hitler knew that he should make good deals with other people so both Hitler and his ally will be benefited. When he met people that could help him, he is able to convince and seal deals, hence, he gained military support and political support in the process. With military help, he was enabled to carry out his plan to hunt down his opponents and the Jews, making him being feared by many but also supported (due to the idea of wiping out the Jews). Eventually, he created the Nazi Party after the founder stepped down from his position.  Therefore, the ideology, his leadership abilities and charisma has helped him to rise in power by gaining support politically and militarily. With military help, he was enabled to carry out his plan to hunt down his opponents and the Jews, making him being feared by many but also supported (due to the idea of wiping out the Jews) .
