Hitler’s rule in Germany:

Special surveillance and security forces were created to control and order society. Apart from the already existing regular police in green uniform and the SA or the Storm Troopers, these included the Gestapo (secret police), the SS (the protection squads), criminal police and the Security service (SD). These were given uncontrolled powers. People could now be deported at will or arrested or detained in torture chambers or sent to concentration camps. Hitler pulled out of the League of Nations in 1933, reoccupied Rhineland and integrated Austria and Germany in 1938 under the slogan –‘One people, One empire and One leader’. He than gobbled up the Czechoslovakia. In September 1939 he invaded Poland which started a war with France and England which eventually converted into Second World War. In September 1940, a Tripartite pact was signed between Germany, Italy and Japan. He attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941. This was his historic blunder. When Japan extended support to Hitler and bombed US base at Pearl Harbour, the US entered the second World War. The war ended in May 1945 with Hitler’s defeat and the US dropping of atom bomb on Hiroshima in Japan.

Once in power the Nazis quickly began to implement an exclusive racial community of pure Nordic Aryan German by eliminating all those who were seen undesirable like other race, unhealthy and other communities. Under the Euthanasia Programme lakhs of Germans were killed.

Jews remained the worst sufferers in Nazi Germany. They had been stereotyped as killers of Christ and usurers who lived in separately marked areas called ghettos. For Hitler the only solution was through their total elimination. The Nazis terrorised, pauperised and segregated the Jews. The next phase aimed at concentrating them and eventually killing them in gas chambers in Poland.
