Interview with Adolf Hitler

Today, we were able to get an interview with the amazing charismatic leader, Adolf Hitler, the man who managed to rise to power in a whirl wind time for tea and we had a conversation.

Hitler was said to be an excellent speaker and charismatic leader

How did Hitler rise to power in such a short time? Was the Weimar Government's weakness the only possibility how Hitler rose to power?

(Nazi Party)

“I was able to rise to power was not solely because of Weimar Government’s weakness. There are many reasons how I rose to power. Many people said that I am an excellent speaker and charismatic leader when I was leading them. Moreover, I did rack my brains to improve Nazi Party.” Hitler responded after taking a sip of tea.

“Why,” I asked Hitler, “did you try overthrowing the Weimar government forcefully which results you getting arrested?”

“Why. I did it to this extend,” Hitler leaned forward and looked at me balefully, “I did this because of my promise towards the people… I know it was such a reckless movement after receiving my jail sentence. Therefore, it made me realised that I cannot take power by force. So I decided to use legal means which is through election. And that was when I start to reorganise the party so that I could win power through elections.

(Leader of the Nazi Party)

“What,” I continued with my cross-examination, “did you do to win support of the Germans?”

“Besides creating the youth movement, public meetings to get the support of the young and attract new members, I also used propaganda to spread the fear about the communist’s aims. Thanks to the rich Germans, who gave financial support to the Nazis as they want an anti-communist government, I was able to recruit ex-service men into a private army – Stormtroopers(SA)” Hitler beamed.

(Spartacists revolutions)

"Since you had  mentioned that Weimar government is also part of the reason how you rose to power, can you specifically elaborate it?"

"The Weimar government was opposed by the Communist and the Facist. The Communist(known as the Spartacists) wanted to set up a government. They (Spartacists) also took part in several revolutions in German cities. Hence, they are opposed by the anti-communist ex-service, the Freikorps and caused frequent battles"

"The Weimar government upset the Germans by signing the Treaty of Versailles(ToV). The people found it hard to accept the terms of it because it became a symbol of Germany's humiliation and defeat. This made the new Weimar government to be extremely unpopular and there was a lot of opposition to the government," the thought of Germany's defeat made Adolf Hitler feel anger. As he expressed it by slamming his fists on the table.

"The German army claimed that they could have fought on but was stabbed
in the back by the Weimar government. As a result of Weimar government's incapability,  people lost confidence in the Weimar government and start questioning their decision-making," Adolf Hitler continued as his eyes were full of hatred.

"How about your feelings towards the Weimar government?" I prompted.

"It was utterly disappointing, of course. The weimar government had caused such humiliation to Germany by signing ToV when Germany is not at fault. And also, they made Germany weak and could not counter-attack when other countries attacked them. "

After having this interview with Mr Hitler, I realised that Mr Hitler was such a persistent person. He kept trying to win the power despite failing each time. I do agree that he's an excellent speaker and charismatic leader because he took advantages whenever there is a chance. What surprised me was that Mr Hitler was actually an anti-semitism person. He believed that Aryan superiority was being threatened particularly by the Jewish race who, he argued, were lazy and had little contribution towards the world civilisation. According to him, Jews were responsible for things that he despise including the loss of World War I (WWI).
