Developments at the Time of Hitler

Developments at the Time of Hitler: The Red banners with the Swastika, the Nazi salute and the ritualised rounds of applause after every speech were new developments at the time of Hitler. Nazi propaganda skilfully projected Hitler as a messiah, a saviour, as someone who had arrived to deliver people from their distress. It was an image that captured the imagination of a people whose sense of dignity and pride had been shattered and who were living in a time of acute economic and political crises.

Rebuilding the Nazi Party

At the time of Hitler's release from prison, politics in Germany had become less combative and the economy had improved, limiting Hitler's opportunities for political agitation. As a result of the failed Beer Hall Putsch, the Nazi Party and its affiliated organisations were banned in Bavaria.

In a meeting with the Prime Minister of Bavaria Heinrich held on 4 January 1925, Hitler agreed to respect the state's authority and promised that he would seek political power only through the democratic process.

The meeting paved the way for the ban on the Nazi Party to be lifted on 16 February. However, after an inflammatory speech he gave on 27 February.

Hitler was barred from public speaking by the Bavarian authorities, a ban that remained in place until 1927. To advance his political ambitions in spite of the ban, Hitler appointed Gregor StrasserOtto Strasser and Joseph Goebbels to organise and enlarge the Nazi Party in northern Germany.

Gregor Strasser steered a more independent political course, emphasising the socialist elements of the party's programme.

The stock market in the United States crashed on 24 October 1929. The impact in Germany was dire: millions were thrown out of work and several major banks collapsed. Hitler and the Nazi Party prepared to take advantage of the emergency to gain support for their party. They promised to repudiate the Versailles Treaty, strengthen the economy, and provide jobs.
