Send us a textAt the time of its foundation in early 1919, the Nazi Party was a group of several dozen dilettantes who at first glance appeared to stand little chance of changing history. And yet, by 1923 it had grown to over 50K members - enough to convince Hitler that they could seize control of Bavaria. This episode explores the secrets to the Nazi Party's success, showing how they built a politically effective, modern mass movement. Topics covered include why Hitler was such a convincing speaker, the "socialist" element of early Nazism, the pivotal role of the Sturmabteilung (SA) and the development of Nazi rituals of violence, and the Beer Hall Putsch (Nov. 1923). We'll also briefly introduce several key Nazi figures to the story, including Ernst Röhm, Julius Streicher, and Ernst "Putzi" Hanfstaengl. Finally, the episode concludes by showing the failure of Weimar authorities to effectively deal with Hitler's treason.FAMILY HISTORY DRAMA : Unbelievable True StoriesWhether it’s great lives or great tragedies, or just showing up for the adventure,...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showFor more information on History Off the Page, check out our website www.historyoffthepage.com!

Prelude to Nazi Germany: World War I and the Freikorps [1_35]
Send us a textThere are many places one could start a history of Nazi Germany, but we begin our series with the experience of the First World War. From the heady August days when Germans were flush with the joy of expectant victory to war and revolution in 1918, the war refashioned and brutalized German politics. Old authorities like the monarchy were discarded, to be replaced by a more wholesome form of politics that centered on the experiences of the front line soldier. This episode demonstrates the ways in which the war provided a nurturing environment for the eventual growth of the Nazi Party, focusing in particular on the growth of right-wing Freikorps units in the immediate aftermath of the war. Among other things, it discusses the German war experience, authors such as Ernst Jünger and Erich Maria Remarque, the November Revolution, the Spartacist rebellion, the Stahlhelm, the Kapp putsch and much more!FAMILY HISTORY DRAMA : Unbelievable True StoriesWhether it’s great lives or great tragedies, or just showing up for the adventure,...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showFor more information on History Off the Page, check out our website www.historyoffthepage.com!

Intro to Nazi Germany: do the Nazis Still Matter?
Send us a textThis episode - the first of 12 on the history of Nazi Germany - begins by asking the question if Nazis still matter in an age when so much of the post-World War II consensus (global institutions, free trade, collective defense) is being abandoned? It highlights the role played in this process by figures such as Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson and the Alternativ fur Deutschland Party (AFD), who along with social media are rapidly reworking popular perceptions of the Nazi past. It also provides answers to the main question, laying out three critical reasons we must remember what happened. Finally, the episode concludes with a brief overview of the entire series.
