Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This military biography examines the man who sought to rebuild the Germany Army after WWI—and the rival who stoked the rise of Nazism. After Germany’s devastating defeat in the First World War, General Hans von Seekt became Chief of the Army Command at the Reichewehr Ministry of the Weimar Republic. His job was to rebuild the shattered German army and repair the nation’s standing on the world stage. The punitive terms of the post-war settlement made these ambitious goals nearly impossible, but the most significant challenges von Seekt faced came from within Germany. Von Seekt aimed to build a modern and efficient military with a main strategy of peaceful defense purposes. This original and far-sighted policy was opposed by his rival, General Erich Ludendorff, who led a nationalistic movement seeking revenge for Germany’s defeat. Ludendorff proposed to rebuild the once-mighty German imperial army as a major international force. The failure of von Seekt's experiment was tragically mirrored by the fall of the Weimar Republic, and the rise of rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany.

Book Synopsis The German Army in Politics, 1918-1944 by : William G. Hyland
Download or read book The German Army in Politics, 1918-1944 written by William G. Hyland and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject matter of this thesis is the German Army as a political factor in the period 1918-1944. From the abdication of the Emporer to the attempted Putsch of July 20, 1944 the German Officers' Corps was a decisive element in the political life of the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich. In general the period has been divided into two major parts: the Weimar Republic, 1918-1933: and the Third Reich, 1933-1945. In addition the two periods have been subdivided into chronological episodes with an emphasis on the dominant personalities of these periods: Generals Groener, won Seeckt, von Schlicher, von Fritsch and Beck. The initial period revolves around the Army and the Revolution. For the first time the Army was without its 'Royal Shield'. In this position the Supreme Command, through the efforts of General Groener concluded their bargain with Friedrich Ebert. On the basis of this agreement the Army operated as the protector of the government while at the same time the institutions of the Army were left intact. During this period the Supreme Command was forced to rely more and more on the idependent Free Corps for physical support. The Kapp Putsch was the logical outgrowth of the split in Officers' Corps over the Versailles Treaty and the increasing power of the Free Corps. The decision of General von Seeckt in refusing to support the government revealed the Reichswehr as a dubious instrument of Republicanism. The failure of the Republic to democratize the Army left von Seeckt in a practically autonomous position of authority. Von Seeckt used his position to create the famous non-political Army. The non-political Reichswehr was undermined by the intrigues of General von Schleicher. After the dismissal of von Seeckt, von Schleicher attempted to use the Army as an arbiter of political authority. Under the protection of President von Hindenburg the Reichswehr names three Chancellors and introduced the wedge of authoritarian government. Finally, the Reichswehr stood calmly aside as Adolf Hitler became Chancellor. The Reichswehr not only approved of the National Socialist revolution, but also supported Hitler's personal succession to von Hindenburg. As a political force the Army failed to function in the early period of National Socialism. Not until the personal attack by Hitler on their prerogatives did they realize the extent of the power of Hitler. After the Fritsch crisis the politics in the Army was concerned with opposition to Hitler's war plans. Finally, the opposition within the Wehrmacht broadened into a Resistance group. The result was the Putsch of July 20, 1944. This was the culmination of the Army's activities as a political factor. The consequences of their policies were of a fateful nature for themselves and Germany.

Book Synopsis The Memoirs of Ernst Röhm by : Ernst Röhm
Download or read book The Memoirs of Ernst Röhm written by Ernst Röhm and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nazi Party leader behind Hitler’s violent rise to power offers a candid chronicle of his life and the early days of National Socialism in Germany. Ernst Röhm was one of the key architects behind the rise of the Nazi Party. From 1919 until 1923, following the defeat of Germany in the First World War, Röhm served in the Freikorps and then National Socialist German Workers’ Party—the Nazi Party. He served as the party’s patron, promoter, and watchdog. With Adolf Hitler, Röhm cofounded the SA, the thuggish workforce behind Nazi political activity. Many believe that Hitler’s rise to power would not have happened without Röhm’s organizational skill, authority, and influence. Though Röhm took part in the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, he became disillusioned with the Nazi Party and resigned in 1925. Röhm wrote his memoirs in 1928—entitled A Traitor’s Story—the year he both resumed working for the Nazis and left to serve in the Bolivian army. In his candid recounting of his experiences, he wrote “Hitler and I were linked by ties of sincere friendship.” Little did Röhm know that their “friendship” would end with Hitler ordering his execution during the Night of the Long Knives.

Book Synopsis Nazi Military Policies and Nazi-Reichswehr Relations: 1923-1933 by : Kenneth Harold Gilmore

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Few historians would dispute that the Reichswehr was a significant factor in the political life of Weimar Germany, and most would agree that, to varying degrees, the links between the German Army and the Nazi Party played a role in the destruction of the nation's democratic life. It is apparent from even a cursory reading of Nazi publications that the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers' Party, NSDAP) strove to carry its message to the republic's military forces ... Military sympathy for the Nazis was not automatic, and in the years from 1923 to 1933 the party was forced both to develop a general program and to adapt its policies and statements to changing economic and political conditions. During this decade the contacts between the NSDAP and the Reichswehr varied from hostility to cooperation and had both overt and covert aspects. This study will investigate the methods utilized by Adolf Hitler and his associates to transmit their message to the armed forces, the effectiveness of their actions in the military sphere, and the course of Nazi-Reichswehr relations in the years before 1933"--Introduction.
Book Synopsis Republican and Fascist Germany by : John Hiden
Download or read book Republican and Fascist Germany written by John Hiden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important addition to modern German studies treats the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich as a continuum, exploring its themes through the 1920s and 1930s without artificial breaks. John Hiden looks at key issues in political, social and economic history, and in international relations. He highlights Germany's potentially constructive role in Europe before Hitler; analyses the country's structural problems; considers the importance of personalities and personal responsibility in the period; and examines the legacy of the Third Reich to postwar Germany. Filled with energy and ideas, the book has an intellectual substance far beyond its relatively modest length.
Book Synopsis Press and Politics in the Weimar Republic by : Bernhard Fulda
Download or read book Press and Politics in the Weimar Republic written by Bernhard Fulda and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-01-08 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Press and Politics offers a new interpretation of the fate of Germany's first democracy and the advent of Hitler's Third Reich. It is the first study to explore the role of the press in the politics of the Weimar Republic, and to ask how influential it really was in undermining democratic values. Anyone who seeks to understand the relationship between the press and politics in Germany at this time has to confront a central problem. Newspapers certainly told their readers how to vote, especially at election time. It was widely accepted that the press wielded immense political power. And yet power ultimately fell to Adolf Hitler, a radical politician whose party press had been strikingly unsuccessful. Press and Politics unravels this apparent paradox by focusing on Berlin, the political centre of the Weimar Republic and the capital of the German press. The book examines the complex relationship between media presentation, popular reception, and political attitudes in this period. What was the relationship between newspaper circulation and electoral behaviour? Which papers did well, and why? What was the nature of political coverage in the press? Who was most influenced by it? Bernhard Fulda addresses all these questions and more, looking at the nature and impact of newspaper reporting on German politics, politicians, and voters. He shows how the press personalized politics, how politicians were turned into celebrities or hate figures, and how - through deliberate distortions - individual newspapers succeeded in building up a plausible, partisan counter-reality.
