Hitler was
a powerful speaker and communicator with a strong belief in himself. Firstly,
He prepared and practiced his speeches beforehand, he knows how to gauge the
mood of the audience, had the energy to do three to four speeches in a day. He
appeared sincere to the people. Secondly, he made beer hall speeches. He knew
people there were at ease and easily swayed. He always start his speeches
logically and calm and only began to rant and rave when the audience got drunk.
Lastly, he addressed people’s concerns. He knew what people concerns are and
found the solutions to it. He used ‘November criminals’, communists and the
Jews as scapegoats for Germany’s ills. Hitler also used his charisma and
oratorical skills to his advantage in justifying the Germans' resent towards
the Treaty of Versailles and sought to destroy the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler's
ideologies were well-received by the German people. He aimed to reclaim
national pride by speaking of establishing a greater Germany. In order to achieve his aims, he decided
to re-organize the Nazi Party to make it strong. It would then be
able to capture the hearts of the Germans in elections. Under Hitler's leadership; the Nazi
Party became more efficient and gained the respect of voters. Hitler was able
to gather the support of the Germans as he knew exactly what to say. Hitler's
speeches and the way he was portrayed convinced many Germans that he was able
to bring Germany to greatness .Hitler used propaganda very effectively. Hitler
told people what they wanted to hear. And he offered the only realistic
alternative to the extremism of the Communist party at the time. Both Hitler
and Goebbels did such a good job, that Hitler was able to gain the position of
Chancellor, allowing him to legally take over the government and complete his revolution.His speeches are masterpieces. He outlines
people and conditions.
Hitler was good in his speeches. Hitler gave the Germans exactly what they needed which the Wiemar government failed to accomplish. This helped Hitler to garner support. If you watch closely, you would see that Hitler made use of simple yet strong words to invoke emotions of the audience, stressing certain words to get his point across. Hitler also used appropriate hand gestures throughout his speech to emphasize too. He appeared to be energetic thus making the people who are listening know he is not lying and trust him.
Hitler's skillfulness at making deals with the politicians
Hitler
traveled the country delivering numerous major speeches, attending meetings
which were organized by Joseph Goebbels. He was one of the key reasons why
Hitler became famous. Hitler busied himself by meeting notable figures from
each group, asking them about their suggestions. In January 1932, he gave
speeches to industrialists in the Ruhr (Coal Mine) and pledged his commitment
to provide capital and state support for large corporations. Many used their
power within the citizens to support Hitler, while some provided hefty
political donations so the NSDAP could continue its propaganda campaign during
the Great Depression. At a meeting with The Reichswehr (army) generals in
February 1932, Hitler promised to expand and re-arm the military, opposing the
restrictions imposed by Versailles.
Hitler
offered a very important thing to everyone: work to the unemployed; prosperity
to failed business people; profits to industry; expansion to the Army; He
promised to bring order amid chaos; a feeling of unity to all and the chance to
belong, He also promised to end payment of war reparations to
the Allies; tear up the treaty of Versailles and deal
harshly with the Jews. Through this, he is able to gain the support of the
citizens
Hitler’s
position was stronger than many believed. Although Hindenburg disliked Hitler,
there was no realistic alternative available. Few leading politicians supported
the Weimar system of democracy; many feared a communist revolution.
In his
first months as Chancellor, Hitler instituted what historians have called a
‘legal revolution’ to extend and strengthen his control. One of his first
actions was to persuade President Hindenburg to call new elections to the
Reichstag. In doing so, Hitler hoped to improve the number of seats held by the
Nazi Party to create a government with the necessary majority to make changes
to the Weimar constitution legally.
The
election campaign lasted for five weeks. Hitler used this time not only to
spread his propaganda message about the benefits of Nazi control, but also to
undermine his greatest political enemies - the communists. He also persuaded
President Hindenburg to allow the government to ban some of their political
meetings and newspapers on the grounds.
'
In conclusion, although Hitler used many propaganda to help him rise, he was still respected by many as he was great in his speeches and he knew what to do at the right time therefore he won the trust and respect from the Germans.
