Many called Hitler mad. However, that was not the case. He was cultured, educated and a learned man. Germany was a country that many knew for scientific and cultural achievements. Hitler's program in his rise to power was evil and destruction, yet people accepted it. Historians call the Germans fools. However, the aftermath of the WW I forced the people to listen to him (Benz, 1969).
The role of the Germans was to give Hitler the morale he needed to rise to power. His ideas lived on, long after he died. However, the terms gas chambers, storm troops, death camps, and the Holocaust, show just how determined he was to ascend to the throne. The politics in Germany during the post-war period had few players. It would have remained so had Adolf Hitler not joined in 1919 (Beers, 1987).
The German morale was not the only factor for Hitler's rise to power; but he also stood out long before he joined politics. For example, his experience in the military taught him more about violence and its uses. Although his supervisors claimed he had no leadership skills, he lived to prove them wrong.
The loss made him a disillusioned soldier. He became nationalistic and anti-semitic. He was now aware of his life's purpose; to lead Germany. His oratory capabilities propelled him to the limelight.
