Item showing Hitlers Power Paragraph











The first item highlighting Hitlers power
is the Nazi Salute; it is performed by
extending the right arm and holding a
straight hand. The person offering the
salute would say "Heil Hitler!" (Hail
Hitler!), "Heil, mein Fhrer!" (Hail, my
leader!), or "Sieg heil!" (Hail victory!). It
was adopted by the Nazi Party to signal
obedience to Adolf Hitler and to glorify
the German nation. This represented
Hitlers power because it was mandatory
for civilians and mostly optional for
military personnel.
The second photograph highlights Hitlers
power because they forced the Germans to
burn books by classical
Liberal, anarchist, socialist, pacifist,
Communist, Jewish, and other authors
whose writings were viewed as a threat to
Hitler and his power. By doing this they
were able to eradicate independent
thoughts that could possibly ruin his
propaganda. Hitler brainwashed the
Germans into following him and believing
in his beliefs.











The third item symbolizing his power was
the uniform worn by the Nazis and Hitler.
They wore this uniform to show that they
were superior to the citizens and they
were feared by some and idolised by
others.
The fourth item that represents Hitlers
power is the book Mein Kampf meaning
my struggle. Mein Kampf is an
autobiography on Hitler that outlines his
political ideology and his plans for
Germany. This item represents his power
because after he burned all the other
books everyone had to read this book
about him. He earned around 8 million
dollars for selling 240 000 copies of the
book, as it grew in popularity.
The final item that denoted Hitlers power
was the Nazi flag. This flag showed his
power because everyone was forced to
fly this flag at their homes to show that
they were following Hitler. As anyone
that did not follow these laws would be
sent to concentration camps.
