Class notes 10-10-13, Nazi Propaganda film

Reichstag Fire Decrees, Feb. 1933- mysterious fires, Germans blamed socialist and communists. Going for the leftists.

Enabling Acts in march 1933

Fiscal conservatism- pay down deficits, reduce bureaucracy, reduce government spending and wait until the market begins to ride itself.

Purge Civil Service in April 1933- way to gain support, members believed to be gay were murdered
Night of the Knives June 30, 1934

Groups looked for radical alternatives, examples: Soviet Union and Fascism

Fascist Nazism- a form of free market capitalism, wanted to moderate it and control it.

German propaganda film, 1934
Shows a cleaner, different way of life
Teamwork
Show regime to be completely coordinated, abundance of food. In this time frame, agriculture is down, people are starving.

Idea “Nazism is the good life,” have friendship, brotherhood
People who knew Hitler from the past where murdered in the Night of Knives
Role of Chancellor and President were combined and given to Hitler


Trying to rebuild a new Germany. Showing camaraderie.
