It was Hitler and the Nazi Party's "Final Solution" to restore Germany to a prominant position in Europe. This included the extermination of many minorities, including Jews, Homosexuals, Gypsies, Greeks, Jahova's Witnesses, and many others.

Persecution of the jewish faith.\nHitler was after power and wanted all possessions to belong to him.  \nOthers were also persecuted, such as Catholics or Polish citizens.  \nHorrible war.  \nShindler's List to me shows that not all germans were bad, just frightened of Hitler and his army.  \n\nAnother movie to help you would be "The Boys from Brazil."  It was a book first and I believe it was written by Ira Levin.  \n\nAnother book would be "Exodus" by Leon Uris.\n\nBest of wishes on your essay.

what do you mean by strategy? you know that the final solution refers to the extermination of all jews in germany occupied europe. They first tried to starve them to death in ghettos, then working them to death in concentration camps, and finally devised ways to just kill them without any just reason. Some methods were firing squads, deaths by scientific experimentation, and finally (the final solution) death by gassing. Those were some dark days. The apocolypse.

They were just following Chinese law.  This is of course no different Nazi's in Germany rounding up the Jews. Along with denouncing Jewish sympathizers.  After all those people were just following German law.  \n\nJust because a government creates a law does not mean that the law is just [morally right].  Especially when then government in control is a coercive government that uses brutal acts of violence and torture to stay in power and is not run by the people.

In 1933, less than 1% of the German population was Jewish. Jews contributed significantly to German culture. Many served in World War I and thought of themselves as Germans first and Jews second. They considered Germany a home; their passionate ties and blind loyalty to Germany caused them to be blind to the harsh reality of anti-Semitic measures (Refugee Crisis 5).\n\nBefore the war, Hitler used the law  to effectively remove Jews from public life. Under the excuse of ensuring racial "purity," numerous decrees were passed allowing harassment, imprisonment, and murder. These decrees were aimed at not only Jews, but anyone defined as "non-Aryan" (5). More than 400 specifically anti-Jewish decrees were enacted based on the Nazi definition of "non-Aryan" ("Final Solution" 3).\n\nAfter the Enabling Act, violence against Jews escalated. On April 1, the Nazi regime called for a national boycott of all Jewish business. Lists of specific businesses and individuals to be boycotted were published. German Jewish leaders were ordered to deny reports of Nazi atrocities committed against Jews. The boycott lasted three days and revealed the efficiency of Nazi intelligence on Jewish economic life. The idea that it was permissible to destroy life without impunity was strengthened ("Final Solution" 2). Most of the Jewish leaders believed that the Nazi regime would be short-lived. German Jews who began to feel the stigma of isolation had no centrally organized spokesman or organized representation to protest. On April 4, 1933, the first law specifically dealing with Jews was passed (Refugee \nCrisis 5). \n\nJews were barred from civil service and on April 7; the German government issued an order firing all civil servants not of "Aryan" descent. This was the first instance of discrimination based on "race" which was consistent with German law. These actions created thousands of jobs for "Aryans." On April 11, a decree was issued defining "non-Aryans" as those who descended from "non-Aryan" grandparents ("Final Solution" 2). The Nazis issued instructional charts to help distinguish Jews from Mischlinge (Germans of mixed races) and Aryans. The white figures represent Aryans; black figures represent Jews; shaded figures represent Mischlinge (Race Laws 1). This law provided precedent for the concept of racial inequality. Differences between non-Jewish Germans and Jewish Germans became an issue of legal interpretation. This laid the foundation for a method of legalizing persecution (Refugee Crisis 5). On April 26, the state police came under the control of the Nazi government. The Gestapo had unlimited police powers; they could follow, arrest, interrogate, and detain without outside authority. Still ignorant of the reality around them and hopeful that the Nazi regime would collapse, Jews went to their local police for help. They appealed to the courts for protection or payment for damages caused by Nazis. Most could not believe that basic civil rights, due process under the law, and the right to a defense and appeal were no longer applicable (6). \n\nBook burnings became common in pre-war Germany. On May 10, 1933, in Berlin, the first of a series of book burnings took place. The effort was aimed at erasing literary and scientific contributions of intellectuals, specifically of Jewish scholars (6). On September 28, Jews were excluded from all artistic, dramatic, literary, and film enterprises. On September 29, Jewish farmers, or those with Jewish ancestors, could no longer own farmland and were denied rights to family property inheritance. 37,000 or more Jews left Germany in 1933, but many stayed hoping the terror would pass (6).\n\n1934 was marked by an increase in anti-Semitic actions and crushing all opposition. After the consolidation of power in 1934, the path was cleared for Hitler and the NSDAP-the National Socialist German Workers'

In 1916, Hindenburg and Ludendorf initiated "War Socialism" upon the German economy, because they felt they were being cheated by German industrialists who had successfully been able to find chemical replacements for the items kept out of Germany by the British blockade (ie-Ammonium to replace Nitrates for gunpowder, wood pulp to replace cotton for artillery wadding, etc). From that point on, German industry and German agriculture began a comprehensive effort to force the German government to rescind this order by pretending they could not fill any orders for war materials.\n\nEven though Germany posessed the coal fields of Silesia and the Ruhr, plus the Iron mines of Lorraine as well as sea access across the Baltic to Iron mines of Sweden, German industry made weapons only with the metals provided by the government by melting down church bells and only made bullets with the melted down lead from window panes and plumbing pipes. Even though Germany had conquered Rumania, Poland and Ukraine (which consituted over 80% of the pre-war agricultural imports to Germany), by 1918 almost half a million Germans had starved to death. The artillery had gone so long without new cannons that more often than not they ended up shelling their own positions. The Army bread was more sawdust than wheat.\n\nAs this sabotage from within continued, the soldiers in the Army became more dissatisfied and many deserted in the attempt to find work so their families would not lose their homes or go hungry. Whenever there was a protest against the war, the protestors were not jailed but inducted into the Army, where they became the seed for even more disillusion within the ranks.\n\nHitler was right and wrong. Germany was stabbed in the back but not by the Jews. Germany was stabbed in the back by the capitalists, who thirteen years later would conspire to end German democracy and install Hitler as their partner. This was the only partnership that Hitler, in the end, would honor completely.

Nazi regime\n\nNazism was the ideology held by the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, commonly called NSDAP or the Nazi Party), which was led by its Führer (leader), Adolf Hitler. The word Nazism is most often used in connection with the dictatorship of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945 (the "Third Reich"), and it is derived from the term National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus, often abbreviated NS). Adherents of the Nazi ideology held that the Aryan race were superior to other races, and they promoted Germanic racial supremacy and a strong, centrally governed state. Nazism has been outlawed in modern Germany, yet small remnants and revivalists, known as "Neo-Nazis", continue to operate in Germany and abroad.\n\nOriginally, Nazi was invented by analogy to Sozi (a common and slightly pejorative term for the Nazis' main opponents, the socialists in Germany). The Nazis from the era of the Third Reich rarely referred to themselves as "Nazis", preferring the official term "National Socialists" instead. Nazi was most commonly used as a pejorative term; however, its use became so widespread that, currently, some Neo-Nazis also use it to describe themselves.

Hi Jordan B,\n\nHere you go:\n\nHitler relocated to the Führerbunker on January 16, 1945, where he presided over the rapid disintegration of his Third Reich as the Allies advanced from both east and west. By late April, Soviet forces had entered Berlin itself and were battling their way to the center of the city where the Chancellery was located. Realizing that defeat was imminent, Hitler began making preparations for his suicide.\n\nHitler, having dictated his last will and testament to secretary Traudl Junge, signed them at 4 am on April 29. Shortly after midnight on April 30, 1945, Hitler married Eva Braun in a small civil ceremony in a map room within the bunker complex, before finally retiring to bed at around 4:00 am.\n\nShortly after noon on April 30, Hitler had a short meeting with Party Secretary Bormann before eating a small lunch consisting of spaghetti with a light sauce. Hitler and Eva Braun then said their personal farewells to members of the Führerbunker staff and fellow occupants, including the Goebbels family, Bormann, the secretaries, and several military officers. At around 2:30 pm, as Soviet forces raised their banner over the neighboring Reichstag, Adolf and Eva Hitler went into Hitler's personal study.\n\nSome witnesses later reported hearing a loud gunshot at around 3:30 pm (the Goebbels' young son is said to have declared, "A direct hit!" thinking it was a bomb overhead). After waiting a few minutes, Hitler's valet, Heinz Linge, with Bormann at his side, opened the door to the study. Linge later stated he immediately noted a scent of burned almonds in the small study, a common observation made in the presence of prussic acid, a form of cyanide. The Hitlers were both sitting on a small sofa, Eva on the left, Adolf to the right. Eva's body slumped away from Adolf's. Hitler appeared to have shot himself in the right temple with a 7.65 mm pistol which lay at his feet. Blood was dripping from the wound to his right temple and had made a large stain on the left arm of the sofa. Eva had no visible physical wounds and Linge assumed she had poisoned herself.\n\nSeveral witnesses stated the two bodies were carried to a small, bombed-out garden outside the bunker complex, where they were doused with petrol and set alight by Linge and members of Hitler's personal SS bodyguard. The SS guards and Linge later noted the fire did not completely destroy the corpses, but Soviet shelling of the bunker compound made further cremation attempts impossible and the remains were later covered up in a shallow bomb crater.\n\nSoviet troops stormed the Chancellory at approximately 11:00 pm. Hitler and Braun's badly burned and hastily buried remains were recovered by a SMERSH unit which was subsequently assigned to locate the Führer's body (it was attached to the 79th Rifle Corps of the Soviet Third Shock Army and is frequently referred to as 79th SMERSH).\n\nHope this helps

The Germans, when they broke the treaty of Versailles. Hitler began taking over neighboring countries and the rest of the world thought Germany wasn't much of a threat so they didn't really pay attention to what Hitler was doing.
