Recommended: Essay of Adolf Hitler

Recently Adolf Hitler has published two books about many topics. It is of my opinion that Mr. Hitler is completely and undoubtedly wrong about everything that spewed from his mouth during the time he was writing (well, actually, someone else was writing) this. Who’s to blame him? I’m not, he was in prison while writing this. Of course, this doesn’t mean that we should listen to him. Oh ,no, not at all, in fact, I believe listening to Hitler would be the absolute worst thing that Germany as a nation could do.

Hitler’s argument that racism is natural and that it is essential is just wrong, no two ways about it. Hitler is guilty of a logical fallacy known as “The Texas Sharpshooter” here, he is cherry-picking data to suit an argument. Yes, it is true that Central and South American countries are weak to us by comparison, but this is NOT at all caused by race. These nations are new, and that simple fact leads us to them being weaker than Germany, who has much more experience. However, Hitler insists that this is because of race, a much less likely factor. In fact, there are other successful nations who are very diverse and have few Germans out there. …show more content…

Throughout all his bashing of Jews, he is guilty of picking out specific data or making assumptions with no evidence. His belief that Jews steal cultural aspects are fundamentally wrong, as is his belief that Jews are Communists and seek power over everyone in the world. He also says that Jews are a race, not a religion, which is laughable, as their religion is what makes a Jew, well… a Jew! Throughout his argument against Jews, he rambles on and on about how destructive Jews are, yet he provides no evidence. Zero. Zilch. Nada. How in the world are we expected to believe this guy, especially on such a big and potentially nation-ruining topic as

    Kershaw later depicts a comment made by Hitler discussing the dire need to deport German Jews, away from the ‘Procterate,’ calling them “dangerous ‘fifth columnists’” that threatened the integrity of Germany. In 1941, Hitler discusses, more fervently his anger towards the Jews, claiming them to responsible for the deaths caused by the First World War: “this criminal race has the two million dead of the World War on its conscience…don’t anyone tell me we can’t send them into the marshes (Morast)!” (Kershaw 30). These recorded comments illustrate the deep rooted hatred and resentment Hitler held for the Jewish population that proved ultimately dangerous. Though these anti-Semitic remarks and beliefs existed among the entirety of the Nazi Political party, it didn’t become a nationwide prejudice until Hitler established such ideologies through the use of oral performance and

  • A Comparison of The Crucible and Nazi Germany

    Throughout time, history has proven that through conflict and poor living conditions, it can be quite simple and painless to put all the blame on someone. Adolf Hitler was able to blame people such as the Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, mentally ill, etc. This seemed like an easy answer. All the problems in the world were the result of these types of people. Once Hitler was able to persuade the majority of Germany that this racist thought was true and that they should be afraid and very concerned about being taken over by these people.

    I agree and disagree with his statement. Some things are better to be left unsaid and others are not. In his case however, it was best to share his story. If these false accusations about Jews are still believed, then they would never be treated with respect. We now know today that these statements are false thanks to survivors like Elie Wiesel.

  • Hitler's Aims and Actions as the Cause of World War II

    819 Words  | 2 Pages

    Hitler's Aims and Actions as the Cause of World War II When considering the reasons for the outbreak of war in 1939 it is easy to place the entire blame on Hitler’s aggressive foreign policy in the late 1930s. One British historian, writing a few years after the end of the war, claimed that ‘the Second World War was Hitler’s personal war, in that he intended it, he prepared for it, he chose the moment for launching it.’ In this assignment it is my intention to show that Hitler’s foreign policy was a major factor in causing the conflict but that other reasons, both long term and short term, need to be recognised as well. Probably the first factor that need considering is the Treaty of Versailles, of 1919.

  • Hitler's Intentions During World War II

    A.J.P. Taylor believes that Hitler did not plan or desire for a world war to occur. Many historians have judged Hitler’s intentions when preparing his military as deliberate proof of his strategizing for an expansive war. The justification for Hitler's military plans according to Taylor, was that he viewed other countries as a threat to him and the restoration of Germany. As a result, both sides believed the other was preparing aggressively against them. Germany, Britain, and many other countries directed their generals to prepare for war. Taylor uses this to prove that Hitler’s preparation was not peculiar, or specific to only Germany; everyone during that time was preparing for a possible war.

  • Nazis and Nietzsche

    One can see where many pieces of the Nietzschean philosophy of the late 1800's could have been the underpinnings of much of Nazi thought and propaganda. If indeed Hitler was fighting the battle for dominion of the earth, than his loss is a loss for the overmen everywhere. If, on the other hand, Hitler was an insane man, as Nietzsche became, than the victory over totalitarianism and tyranny is a sweeping victory for the freedom for mankind, and a defeat for the philosophies of Nietzsche. But of course, as Nietzsche said, there are no facts, only interpretations.

  • An Arrogant Argument

    1395 Words  | 3 Pages

    Hitler not only assumes that Aryans are superior to all other races but that the German people believe this as well. He assumes that that the question of race superiority has already been answered. According to Annette T. Rottenberg’s The Structure of Argument, “if [a] writer makes a statement that assumes that the very question being argued has already been proved, [that] writer is guilty of begging the question” (291). Hitler proudly states, “All the human culture, all the results of art, science, and technology that we see before us today, are almost exclusively the creative product of the Aryan” (300). This statement, which he presents as if it is fact, is most certainly not true. He uses this fallacy to promote his agenda. He wants to take out the competition, most specifically the Jews, so that the Aryan race can dominate Germany and eventually the world. Hitler makes another statement which begs the question: “Nature subject[s] the weaker part to such severe living conditions that by them alone the number is limit...

    Haffner has confronted many issues that have, according to him, been overlooked by other historians, and it is for this reason that the book is suitable for any person interested in the phenomenon that is Hitler. Haffner had a greater reason than surprise theories and new evidence for writing the book though. This is apparent throughout the book and, most notably, at the end. He is appealing to the younger generations of readers, those that did not experience Hitler themselves. It is to this group that Haffner intends to send a message. This will be discussed later.

    This declaration was as surprising as the justification behind it, for on page 81, that neighbor explains, “‘I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people.’” This moment was something I could only describe as shocking, as it was the truth, or a crooked version of it. Hitler promised to exterminate the Jewish people

  • A Racism Experiment

    946 Words  | 2 Pages

    During the 1930’s the greatest form of racism took place against the Jew’s. A quote from Adolf Hitler, “I have in the course of my political struggle won much love from my people, but when I crossed the former frontier (into Austria) there met me such a stream of love as I have never experienced. Not as tyrants, but as liberators.” (qtd. Wiestenthal.org). This quote shows how people have different views on racism. Adolf Hitler describes how he was welcomed into a country while other struggled to end the genocide that he had started. Racists have the view, if people don’t belong, or are different then they are, they should not be allowed to participate or live in the same areas or even to live at all. Herman Goering was quoted in 1938 saying, “Kick out the Jews from the economy and turn them into debtors.” (qtd. Wiestenthal.org). Hitler’s followers began to do this before the Jews were sent to the concentration camps.

  • The Characteristics Of Adolf Hitler

    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

  • Racism in Nazi Germany

    1759 Words  | 4 Pages

    Hitler used racism to appeal to the pre existing bitter and aggressive side of German nature, thus securing his position as dictator and reuniting his people. Securing his position as the all powerful dictator, or Führer, is central to all of Hitler's policy decisions, be they foreign or domestic, and this was achieved through his, and the Nazi?s use of racism. Initially, Hitler used persecution and hatred of minorities such as Jews and communists to identify his sympathizers and supporters throughout the Government and general population, mainly young people and big business, and utilized this power, and appeal to secure his position as chancellor and later president of a united Germany.
