Erwin Rommel Evaluation

Germany quickly perfected blitzkrieg and trained its army in how to use them. Blitzkrieg was Germany's most powerful weapon because it allowed Germany to quickly defeat its opponents and take an early lead in the war. Germany's use of blitzkrieg was it largest advantage in WWII and is what allowed Germany to nearly take over Europe early in the war. Blitzkrieg was such a useful weapon for the German army because they had developed the idea and trained their men to perfection in it. Before WWII began, Germany had recently been in several wars.

Nazi doctrine of militarism, expansionism, and ultra-nationalism appealed to the attitudes and beliefs inherent in the conscience of the German people at the time. The German people felt that with the Nazis in control they could overcome the problems caused by the Treaty of Versailles. Nazi militarism would restore the armed forces to their greatest capability. Nazi mobilization would create employment and new economic opportunities.

This part of the treaty was called the “War Guilt Clause”. This “forced the German nation to accept complete responsibility for initiating World War I” (livingston.org). Aside from taking responsibility for starting the war, Germany was also given the responsibility to repair the damages of the war. The humiliation that Germany suffered allowed for new power to rise in Germany. This new power was Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party.

This illustrates the power that the National Socialist had in keeping individuality restrained for the “good” of the community. National Socialism between 1933 through 1945 was a breakdown of individualism. The Nazi control of German unified a country, while tearing apart a world. The reasons for the rise of this totalitarian state are vast, but closely linked together. Through the disgrace of the First World War, and the desperateness of Germany to find a scapegoat, millions of lives were taken for the “common good” of the Aryan race in Germany.

Throughout World War II, Adolf Hitler gave many powerful speeches to the German people. “Hitler gave speech after speech in which he stated that unemployment, rampant inflation, hunger and economic stagnation in postwar Germany would continue until there was a total revolution in German people” (“Nazi Party”).

These men’s stories are all good examples that the strongest leaders are able to influence people, because even to this day they are recognized and remembered. The stories of Ernest Oppenheimer, Cecil Rhodes, Julius Caesar, and Adolf Hitler have different intentions from each other, but the idea that they were all able to influence people is the same.

He had a vision; he searched to complete and sell it to the people of Germany, and maintained characteristics of a true and definite leader. Unquestionably, Hitler transformed not only his nation into what he envisioned, but he also transformed other countries and the world of today. Because of Adolph Hitler, the United States rarely stands aside while people of another nation kill each other. The United States will react through military actions or use the United Nations to pressure countries with sanctions. Adolf Hitler led his country and defeated several countries along the way making a path for peace, bringing nations together, and creating change.

Their leader Adolf Hitler had power over the Reichstag and was in every position to dominate German society. The years leading up to 1933 were rich in opportunities for an extremist uprising. The Weimar Republic was weak, and Germany was in the midst of political anguish. The German people were looking for a strong and decisive leader and they found it in Hitler.

Each nation had their own view on the treaty, and what the Germans should be punished for. The English wanted to expand their colonies to Germany and gain some land.

His nationalistic and passionate speaking skills gained him the respect of many Germans in very bad times.

What were the causes of the Second World War? What had led to what is considered to be the largest genocide in the history of mankind? What led Germany to attack Poland in 1939, beginning the Second World War? Two causes of the Second World War, were the Treaty of Versailles, written by the victors of the First World War, and the rise of the fascist movement in Germany. The leader, chosen to led the German people, and enforce the Nazi values was Adolf Hitler.

Indisputably the Treaty of Versailles is justified through all the motives that Germany had. The treaty provisions all tie to the start of the new war, World War II. The treaty helped create a cruel regime in Germany and eventually the start of the Nazi party. One fascist leader Adolph Hitler , portrayed such regime. He didn?t want to accept any of the revisions and started to fortify Germany, and went against some T of V provisions, he sent troops to into the Rhineland.
