in social studies we were learning about the different types of governments. we learnt about the government in New Zealand  as well as the government we choose to learn about. I learnt about Hitler in Nazi Germany. 

Nazi Germany

Adolf Hitler was a German politician and leader of the Nazi Party. He rose to power as Chancellor of Germany in 1933 and later Führer in 1934. During his dictatorship from 1933 to 1945, he initiated World War II in Europe by invading Poland in September 1939. Wikipedia

Died: 30 April 1945, Berlin, Germany

Hitler was a ruler of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945.

Adolf Hitler was one of the most powerful dictators of the 20th century. He wanted to take power in Germany beginning in 1933. Germany’s invasion of Poland in 1939 led to the outbreak of World War II. Hitler murder around 6 million Jews, along with other victims of the Holocaust. After the tide of war turned against him, Hitler committed suicide in a Berlin bunker in April 1945. Hitler was mean to the Jews but made others believe he was nice and was telling them to wash themselves but was really gassing them. There was a youth for age 10-18 attend these groups, in these groups they are taught the way Hitler wanted Germany to be in the future. A lot of people would refer to this as brainwashing.

Positive things that happened under Hitlers rule:

• Surprisingly did many great things over his time in his office
• No smoking law
• Invention of the highway
• Anti-communist actions
• Medical advances
• Important to recognise Hitler was not always directly responsible for what happened to Germany whilst under his rule

Adolf Hitler was a dictator who was the leader of Germany during world war one. He was a very angry man. He was angry because he lost WW1 he also felt angry at the way Germany had been treated at the end of WW1. He built up the air force and navy, and young people had to join the Hitler youth. The boys were trained to be soldiers and the girls were trained to be good wives and mothers. Hitler also blamed the Jews for Germany's troubles. He treated the Jews really badly but was making it look as if he was being nice. He was telling them to have “showers” (witch was gassing them in the showers). It's thought that 6 million people were killed in the concentration camps. It's clear that Hitler wanted complete power over Germany and everything in Germany.
