Hitlers Plan for Third Reich

The Third Reich also known as the Nazi Germany took place between 1933 to 1945. The
Nazi Germany or Deutsches Reich, policies consisted of Aryan," Nordic racial purity, revenge for
Germany's territorial loss, anti-Semitism, and anti-communism. The Nazi regime's systematic

mass murder of millions was the evil in history. The Holocaust occurred because of Hitlers
belief that the Jews were the case of World War I (newworldencyclopedia.org, 2015).
The Reich focused on acquiring areas with high German populations. Parts of northern
France, had restricted travel by the Nazi occupation authorities, as a way to colonize those

areas with German citizens. The First Reich lasted a thousand years, whereas the Third lasted
only twelve. The Lebensraum program wanted ethnic Germans to be moved to Eastern Europe
along with, the Slavic population who met the Nazi racial standard (newworldencyclopedia.org,
2015).
Racism was the foundation of The Third Reich. The regime focused not only on Jews but,
other people they did not like such as, some people of the Slavic populations, blacks, political
opponents, homosexuals, and Jehovah Witnesses. The Nazi party was determined to create a
pure race, by eliminating anyone they did not believe were pure. Over 200,000 Jews left
Germany on September 1939, all property they left behind was seized by the Nazis
(newworldencyclopedia.org, 2015).
The Nazi Regime sterilized over 400,000 individuals, reasoning that they had hereditary
defects such as, ranging from mental illness to alcoholism. They encourage soldiers to reproduce
to help the pure race. The judicial kept most of its legal codes with the exception of human
rights of the constitution of the Weimar Republic which was eliminated by
several Reichsgesetze also known as Reich's laws (newworldencyclopedia.org, 2015).
Religion changed during The Third Reich. Hitler signed the Treaty of Vatican on July 20,

1933, guaranteeing certain rights to the Roman Catholic church. Ludwig Mller, a Nazi, became
Chair of a Council of regional churches, this led to the Reich Church. People outside of the
German church was to honor Hitler as lord of the church. The Third Reich expanded the
governments money supply and created a Four- Year Plan, which expired. Albert Speer
recreation of Berlin, which was very costly assisted in leading Germany to war
(newworldencyclopedia.org, 2015).
