- W2500447965 abstract "On the evening of 30 January 1933, Joseph Goebbels exhilaratingly recorded in his diary: “Itseems like a dream… the Wilhelmstrasse1 is ours… the Fuhrer is appointed Chancellor…Germany is at a turning-point in her history … like a fairy tale … Germany has awakened!”2 Over the course of approximately the next year-and-a-half, an astonishingly rapidtransformation engulfed Germany. Beginning on this momentous eve-marked by a mesmerizing torchlight parade and iconic pageantry that symbolized both the Nazi movement’srevolutionary vigor as well as regime change-and followed shortly by measures calculatedto consolidate and extend Hitler’s authority and the influence of the NSDAP (GermanNational Socialist Workers’ Party, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei), sweeping changes were set in motion that established the dictatorship. Hitler, as leader of a political “movement” rather than a political “party,” projected himself as a messianic visionarypursuing a vital mission, and had written in Mein Kampf 3 that only he and his movementpossessed the necessary ideological convictions, and were “alone capable not only of haltingthe decline of the German people, but of creating the granite foundation upon which someday a state will rest which represents, not an alien mechanism of economic concerns andinterests, but a national organism: A Germanic State of the German Nation.”Hitler had no reservations about his goal to restructure the German state under his per-sonal leadership, and in 1933, he began to implement the plan that he long envisioned,beginning with his manipulation and utter rejection of the republic’s constitutional limitations. In 1923, he had already proclaimed that “the volkisch state must free all leadershipand especially the highest-that is, the political leadership-entirely from the parliamentaryprinciple of majority rule-in other words, mass rule-and instead absolutely guarantee theright of the personality.” Now, with political power in hand, he embarked on a path thatjettisoned the constraints of democratic parliamentary government and created instead asystem defined by his own increased personal authority and by a struggle for influence andpower among those close to him. This ultimately would have far-reaching consequences inthe implementation of Nazi policies that were so deeply rooted in racial ideology.Immediately following his appointment, Hitler convinced President Paul von Hindenburgto dissolve the Reichstag and call for new elections for 5 March 1933, expecting to receive amajority of seats in the new parliament. For the next 7 weeks, the nation was governed viaemergency decrees. On his second day in office, Hitler delivered a radio address to theGerman people wherein he vowed to raise the nation from what he characterized as 14 yearsof “decay” and “ruin” under the Weimar government, a system he castigated as beingstrongly influenced by Marxism. Foreshadowing the campaign against leftist parties thatfollowed in the coming weeks, he warned of the continued threat of Bolshevism, promisingto “declare a merciless war” against what he defined as “political nihilism.” He promisedthat his government would rebuild the Reich, and asked the German people to “give us fouryears’ time and then put us on trial and judge us.”4 A swift and pronounced repression ofpolitical opponents soon followed, and although the Nazis claimed that they had effected alegal, bloodless revolution, in fact, considerable violence accompanied the Nazi takeover ofpower. From spring to summer of 1933, about 27,000 political prisoners were interned inconcentration camps and subjected to inhumane treatment and physical abuse, so that bythe fall of that year some 600 had perished.5" @default.
