How Did Hitler Use Political Rhetoric

455 Words1 Page

From 1933 to 1945, Adolf Hitler was in power and was the Fuhrer of Germany. While he

was in power, he gave many speeches such as the Nuremberg rallies, the Non-Aggression

Pact, the Speech to the industry club and many more. Political rhetoric was commonly used in

his speeches in order to manipulate the crowds to a certain extent in which they would agree to

the extermination of the Jews. Through political rhetoric, Adolf Hitler was able to persuade the

Germans to think of the Jews as disgusting and feeling hate and fear towards them.

There were many different rhetorical devices in the speech at the Nuremberg conference

(1938). An example: “National Socialism desires to establish a true community of the people”.

That sentence …show more content…

An example of use of falsification is “...we can never suffer an alien race”. That statement is

false because we don’t know the power of UFOs and extraterrestrials so saying that, is just like

acting like we’re more powerful than whatever's out there which is obviously falsification

because we don’t even know what's out there and what power it has. An example of repetition is

used in this statement, “....which has nothing to do with us to claim the leadership of our working

people.”
Hitler’s motive was to control all of Germany. Hitler was so determined to get a big

following that he gave out vinyl record copies of his speeches to everyone in Germany so that

they could hear what he said no matter what they were doing and where they were. His

speeches were broadcasted on all televisions throughout Germany. Hitler wanted everyone to

listen to him and gain everyone’s approval to go through with the extermination of the Jews. He

manipulated the German people with his speeches by using rhetorical devices. Hitler treated

them as a nation, rather than as individuals, to prove that they were all just the same and

Example two, “I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost.” Here he gets the American people angry and makes them seek revenge against the enemy.

    Bush’s method of topic by topic argument along with many emotional appeals was a rather effective way of winning the audience’s support. By appealing to the emotions of the audience Bush was able to give the audience issues they could relate to as well as issues they would feel strongly about. With an emotionally involved audience Bush was able to gather a great number of supporters of his party, just as he intended in his original purpose. The further reference to the character of the people involved in the issues really paid off by drawing the crowd closer to the people working for them. With the topical structure and the appeals used, the speech was a very effective tool in gaining support for the Republican Party from the northern Arizonan audience.

  • The Effectiveness of Hitler's Pre-World War II Propaganda

    The mention of the name Adolf Hitler automatically recalls one of the most hate filled and destructive periods in the history of humanity. More people died in World War 2 than in any war ever fought, but it wasn't merely soldiers; innocent civilians were persecuted for nothing more than their views of the government or for their religion. The specific focus here will be to deal with Hitler's hatred of the Jews, and how it progressed in the years before the war. The other point to bring up from this time was the Nazi's use of propaganda to rally their people and deceive the foreign community from strongly intervening in their plans.

He created rhetorical devices like: the appeal to logic, appeal to emotion, and juxtaposition. Giving the rhetorical technique to have people believe that the government has been taking away all of their rights has been an effective outcome because it was encouraging citizens to think that they’re better off with a smaller and less powerful government. The speech he constructed in all was an impactful speech to the people of America because the way he handles his words to have America think they’re making the country a better place, but slowly making the government become a capitalist

    When Hitler was campaigning as a candidate for Chancellor he stated in one of his speeches, “Show tomorrow your firm national unity. Support with me and the Reich Chancellor the principle of equal rights and of peace with honor” (Larson, p. 175). By using a manipulative style of speaking to the public Hitler was able to present himself as one for the people, showing that he prioritized them above everything else. However, this was all a trick to increase Hitler’s popularity so he could eventually become dominant over all aspects of German life. The Nazi Regime achieved this through strategic implementations of propaganda.

    In the Summer of 1941, Adolf Hitler started exterminating Jews and other non-Aryans, as a part of his plan to create a perfect Germany and to carry out his ‘Final Solution’ to the ‘Jewish Question’. Before exterminating 6,000,000 Jewish people, Adolf Hitler had already performed several actions which singled out the Jew as an evil person and one who should be killed. In 1923, Hitler was caught while trying to overturn the Bavarian government and was imprisoned for 5 years. In prison, he wrote the famed autobiography, Mein Kampf, in which he stated his first publicly known anti-Semitic beliefs and his ‘Final Solution’ to the ‘Jewish Question’. While imprisoned, there was a worldwide depression as economic markets crashed worldwide. This would help Hitler because once out of prison he would use this to help gain power both for the Nazi’s and for himself politically by promising better things to come in the future. In 1933, while preaching in front of a large Nazi crowd, Hitler used the Jews as scapegoats for Germany’s loss in World War One. “If at the beginning of the War and during the War twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebrew corrupters of the people had been held under poison gas, as happened to hundreds of thousands of our very best German workers in the field, the sacrifice of millions at the front would not have been in vain.'; Many people were upset at the loss, and blaming the Jews made many people anti-Semites. Once he was named chancellor in 1933, Hitler preached about creating a Germany for true German people and a more centralized Germany. This included eliminating those who were non-Aryans and/or non-German. He would later detail about what a true German was in the Nuremberg Laws. He stated that Jews were not really Germans but instead, they were non-Aryan, and they were malignant tumors.
