History That Doesn't Suck

184: The Rise of Adolf Hitler: From Failure to Führer of Nazi Germany or the Third Reich


Listen Later

“There will be no more mercy now; anyone who stands in our way will be butchered.”


This is the story of Adolf Hitler and the collapse of the Weimar Republic. 


A dropout. A failed applicant to Vienna’s prestigious Academy of Fine Arts. A decorated but low-ranking soldier who attempts to overthrow the state and is convicted of treason. But only a decade or so later, he’s the nation’s leader. Not just the Chancellor, not even a “mere” president. He’s Germany’s dictator. The “Führer.” 

How on earth does such an underwhelming man rise to such an overwhelming position of power? With virulent nationalism, rabid antisemitism, fearmongering, and violence in an economically panicked, democracy-doubting, and defeated Germany. This is the rise of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Reich.
