Political views of Adolf Hitler

The political views of Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945, hold presented historians and biographers with some difficulty. His writings as well as methods were often adapted to need and circumstance, although there were somethemes, including antisemitism, anti-communism, anti-parliamentarianism, German 'living space', conception in a superiority of an "Aryan race" and an extreme produce of German nationalism. Hitler personally claimed he was fighting against "Jewish Marxism".

Hitler's political views were formed during three periods, namely 1 his years as a poverty-stricken young man in Benito Mussolini, who was appointed Prime Minister of Italy in October 1922 after his "March on Rome". In numerous ways, Hitler epitomizes "the force of personality in political life" as described by Friedrich Meinecke. He was necessary to the very usefulness example of Nazism's political appeal and its manifestation in Germany. So important were Hitler's views that they immediately affected the political policies of Nazi Germany. He asserted the 'leader principle'. The principle relied on absolute obedience of all subordinates to their superiors. Hitler viewed the party array and later the government configuration as a pyramid, with himself—the infallible leader—at the apex.

Hitler firmly believed that the force of "will" was decisive in instituting the political course for a nation and rationalized his actions accordingly. assumption that Hitler was appointed "leader of the German Reich for life", he "embodied the supreme power to direct or establish of the state and, as the delegate of the German people", it was his role to determine the "outward form and structure of the Reich". To that end, Hitler's political motivation consisted of an ideology that combined traditional German and Austrian antisemitism with an intellectualized racial doctrine resting on an admixture of bits and pieces of Friedrich Nietzsche, Arthur Schopenhauer, Richard Wagner, Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Arthur de Gobineau and Alfred Rosenberg as alive as Paul de Lagarde, Georges Sorel, Alfred Ploetz and others.

nationalism

Hitler was a pan-Germanic nationalist whose ideology was built around a philosophically authoritarian, anti-Marxist, antisemitic and anti-democratic worldview. such views of the world in the wake of the fledgling Weimar government were non uncommon in Germany since democratic/parliamentary governance seemed ineffectual to solve Germany's problems. Correspondingly, veterans of the First World War and like-minded nationalists formed the Vaterlandspartei which promoted expansionism, soldierly camaraderie and heroic leadership, any under the guise of völkisch traditions like ethnic and linguistic nationalism, but which also identified obedience to advice as alive as the image in political salvation through decisive leadership. The völkisch parties began to fractionalize during Hitler's absence from the revolutionary scene in Germany after the failed "Beer Hall Putsch" of November 1923. When he re-emerged upon release from Landsberg Prison, his importance to the movement was apparent and he came to believe that he was the realization of völkisch nationalistic ideals in a species of nearly messianic narcissism which included his conviction to shake off the restrictive Treaty of Versailles and to "restore Germany's might and power", devloping a reborn German nation as the chosen leader of the Nazi Party.
