Hermann Wilhelm Göring There are very few people who have the ability to skillfully and eloquently describe an event while using just a few words. The Epitome of Evil, which is also the masterful title of this course, is a fitting combination of small and descriptive words that paint a picture of what really happened during World War II while Germany was under the reign of the National Socialist German Workers Party. (Nazi Party) From 1922 to 1945, most of the 70 million Germans were convinced that only one race of people was worthy to conquer and rule the entire world. This message began and was continually delivered by the leader of the Nazi Party, Adolph Hitler. The message of superiority, which was repeated over and over by Hitler, …show more content…
Hitler's message of a superior race was not just an over zealous promotion of blond hair and blue eyes, but also of persecution and death for anyone who did not belong to this race. One group of people that suffered the highest amount of Hitler's attention was that of the Jews. The debate if one person could convince an entire nation to commit the kinds of crimes against humanity that Hitler had planned may still be up in the air, but one thing that is for sure, Hitler could not do it alone. Hitler would need an army of followers not only loyal to his cause but committed to the planning and implementation of executing nearly six million people for their Führer. Those loyal and faithful followers would en-prison, torture, murder and dispose of countless victims with the mentality of just another day at the office. One of Hitler's most loyal supporters, and one of the most popular Nazi leaders, was Hermann Wilhelm Göring. …show more content…
This type of personality is generally an overnight success or complete disaster after the insertion into military ranks. Hermann would join the German Army in 1912 and quickly be commissioned as a second lieutenant. Surprisingly, Goring would fit well into the rigid and structured life of a soldier. One could certainly compare the instability and unstructured life during his youth days to the formal and very structured life of a soldier and understand how this type of discipline could be welcomed by Hermann. The structured and scheduled life of Lieutenant Hermann Goring would began to unravel just a bit after he was hospitalized for rheumatism. During a hospital visit with Goring, Bruno Loerzer would convince him to desert the Army and join the air corps to become Loerzer's observer. Loerzer and Goring would fly several reconnaissance missions until the spring of 1916, in which they received the prestigious First Class Iron Cross award. In 1916, shortly after winning the Iron Cross, Goring would hustle his way into pilot training school by lying during admission that he already know how to fly. Upon completion of pilot school, Goring would join the Staffel 5, also known as the flying Fokkers, and pilot along side his friend Bruno Loerzer. During his early career as a pilot with the Staffel 5, Goring would be credited with shooting down three enemy fighters (French) and saving

Did you know that even though Hitler had brown hair and blue eyes, his idea of a superior race was those with blond hair and blue eyes? He wanted this group of people to be superior to all other races because they represented a clean view of Germany. Hitler used his power to achieve this goal by enforcing many rules and creating many different projects. He wanted the people of Germany to believe that they were superior to all other races and they must do everything to maintain the standards of living in Nazi Germany. Adolf Hitler and his Nazis created the perfect race by influencing the education of children and creating bride schools, the Hitler Youth Program, and Lebensborn birthing homes.
From the time Hitler and the Nazi’s took control of Germany in 1933 until the collapse of the Third Reich in 1945, the aim of the regime under the calculating guidance of Hitler himself sought no less than global conquest. This ambitious objective can be further dissected into short term and long term goals that provide insight into Hitler’s character, thoughts and actions.
In his effort to unify all German-speaking people and eliminate non-Aryan races, Hitler was responsible for more than 12 million deaths. Using coercion, manipulation, and threats he convinced the German people if they did not comply with his demands, they would be added to staggering list of the dead. This threat, fed by the desire for an improved life, is what led the German people into Hitler's hands. & nbsp; Works Cited & nbsp; Chambers, Mortimer., et al. The Western Experience.
The teachers were even instructed to demoralize the Jews. Due to Nazi propaganda, other races were severely punished all because of one man’s influence. Hitler’s influence on supernatural supremacy was because of its occult roots, the Hitler youth, and Hitler’s propaganda. Hitler was able to ascend his people almost comprehensively and get them to do what he wants them to do. He was able to interpolate his own postulations into the country and the Nazis, because of the trust that was put in him.
The purpose of this paper is to show examples of evil both individual and institutional. Adolf Hitler’s vision of war and genocide was chosen as an example of individual evil. What other person in the 20th century defines evil better than Adolf Hitler? The Japanese invasion and subsequent rape of the then Chinese capital city of Nanking (Nanjing) in December 1937, was chosen as an institutional example of evil. These pages will show how a man rose to power in Germany and set in motion events that engulfed the world’s then superpowers in the costliest war in world history. How an army lost control of it’s men that then looted, burned and then systematically raped, tortured, and murdered 300,000 Chinese civilians and soldiers in a matter of weeks.
The 1940’s was a time of great conflict between the United States and Europe. This led to World War II, which began on June 14th, 1940 when German troops were sent to France to occupy Paris (Nash 500). Before the United States entered World War II many conflicts erupted throughout Europe such as the advancement of German troops into various countries (Nash 501-502). The main source of these conflicts was a man by the name of Adolf Hitler. Hitler was a power hungry man who had the drive to become a political leader (Nash 492). But, the ways by which he obtained leadership were repulsive. He struck fear into the eyes of those in which opposed his teaching and killed whoever stood in his way (Nash 493). Germany faced troubling times after World War I. Hitler looked at this as the perfect opportunity to rise to power. He turned a party that consisted of a small amount of workers into the National Socialist German Workers’ party, which later became known as the Nazi party. During the 1920s, Hitler performed many speeches in order to make the Nazi party better known. In his speeches he talked about eliminating the differences between the rich and poor in order to prevent divided social classes. This made his party strong, attractive, and it quickly gained many supporters (Nash 494). By August 1934, Hitler became the Dictator of Germany and began mass takeover of Europe and World War II began (Nash 495). It was at this point when he began mass takeover of Europe and World War II began (Nash 500). He sent Nazi troops to take over nearby land, which made neighboring countries nervous.

Hitler wasn't well known during World War I. As a matter of fact, Hitler was a private during the war and ended up gaining power because he appealed to a large number of German people. He appealed to them by a combination of an effective and well-practiced style of speaking with what looked like undoubtable sincerity and determination. This helped Hitler find a large audience for his program of national revival, racial pride in Germanic values, hatred for France and of the Jewish and other un-German races, and despise for the Weimer Republic. With the way he spoke, Hitler convinced the people of Germany to believe that a dictatorship was the only thing that could save Germany from the problems it was having. Hitler's views only changed a little in the years to follow; yet he still managed to draw an increasing number of people to his speeches.
Hitler was able to convince and almost brainwash people into believing that what he told them was the truth. He was a very skilled public speaker and he used this skill to distort the truth as it suited him, this was to his advantage. A twenty-five point programme was set up by the nazi party and was designed to appeal to all german people and all sections of their society; it included racist ideas and conveys hatred of non germans. He used the jewish people as scapegoats and blaimed them for all the problems in germany, he encouraged the german public to take on this opinion also. He used the method of force to make people belive he was powerful and his
Parents usually have dreams for their children so that they grow up living a good life. In the story “The Little Burnt Victims,” the father wishes for at least one of his children to grow up to be successful boxers so that they can finally feel free from any money problems. All three of the kids love to box, so the father puts alcohol on their chests, just like they see in the movies.

Centuries later and the name Adolf Hitler still rings volumes till this present day: discussed in history books, talked about amongst intellects and commoners alike, and despised by many for years to come. Upon hearing his name many may think of all the negative things Hitler has done, but few fail to analyze just how one man created such controversy amongst a nation without being stopped. The question then lies how does a man reign over country and devastate it for years to come? Adolf Hitler, a man who excelled in persuasion and charisma was able to reign over Germany for years. Born in Austria April 20th 1889, Hitler grew up with many hardships in his life.
...tish, etc., but rather in the strength and the unity of his own nationality” (Hitler 384-385). Hitler bluntly states that German’s were mistreated and are “clearly” the most distinguished race, but have the blunders of the inferior people to thank for the loss of the first world war. This book was the start of his influence, with the printer press still on the rise, it helped spread his word. Hitler, a great orator, gave speeches, ran politically, connected with people, used the economy as an argument for his ideas, spread propaganda, and used the guilt of the harsh punishment to receive appeasement. Death narrates some statistics, “ In 1933, 90 percent of Germans showed unflinching support for Adolf Hitler. That leaves 10 percent who didn’t,” (Zusak 63). Hitler had taken control, and no one had been able to stop him, he had used a simple tool to take on the world.
This is what had made Hitler one of the greatest public speakers that the world had ever seen from his time and in history. "The German people and it 's soldiers work and fight today not for themselves and their own age, but also for many generations to come. A historical task of unique dimensions has been entrusted to us by the Creator that we are now obliged to carry out." Hitler, the Fuhrer of Germany, was a very talented spokesman in ways that leaders today could not even begin to compare with. He was charismatic and bold, making it easier for him to win over the minds of many Germans with these two traits. He believed that during his rise to power, he and the people of Germany had been given a duty by God to purify the nation of its imperfect races and weaker people so as to make the mother country strong again for future generations. "Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live." In many ways, Hitler felt he was justified in what he was doing, and in some
