Reichstag Fire
In the tense and strained period from 1920 to 1923 the Nazis gained
support among extreme nationalists and anti-communists. The Nazis
promised to deal with the crisis in Germany at the present time for
example low employment, although people would consider that the Munich
putsch was a failure, in his trial it gave him a stage in which to
speak, and impress the judges which he did, and he emerged from it a
much stronger figure. Hitler had the support of the army, so they
could keep control over the country; they also had the support of the
Bavarian sate government.
In 1934-39 Hitler and the Nazis party planned to get complete control
over Germany and to create racial Germany, Hitler used tactics and one
of theses was propaganda.
The Nazis begin to increase support during 1924-1929, because they
were better organized, Goebbels increased the propaganda by producing
posters. The practice was active throughout the whole of Germany. The
Nazis started to get supported from farmers and skilled workers. They
had a remarkable leader in Hitler. However the Weimar republic was
getting better, people were getting more jobs and so forth. Other
parties were more popular like social democrats.
The great depression affected different people, for people who lost

Also in culture Geobles stopped musician’s, actors, writer’s or
artist from working, because many were thought to be unsuitable so
they were banned, also music had to consist of German : folk songs,
marching music and classical music artist such as Mozart, they did
accept some popular music, but never jazz which was ‘black’ music and
therefore racially inferior. They also made theatre’s to only
concentrate on German history and political drama, cheap theatre
tickets were provided, but you could not choose which plays you wanted
to see or when. Goebbels drew up a list of banned books which where
removed by Gestapo from bookshops and libraries. In May 1933 the Nazis
encouraged students to burn the books they believed were un-German and
Jewish. Goebbels wanted books about race, war and the Nazi movement.
