Document Summary
Unifying ideals of the volksgemeinschaft trumps protests. Only voelkish to persists at national level. Key: building organizational base (strong sense of hierarchy = efficient at getting msgs, mobilizing); able to really connect with all people nationally all parts of society represented therefore all parts mobilized = grassroots networking. Had people everywhere so that both national and local causes where addressed very good at tailoring their speeches to fit the need of the group they were addressing. Offered alternative future that most other parties did not offer. Hitler was fond of campaigning therefore he was really well known people wanted to see their leaders. Volksgemeinschaft: follow up preaching about what they hated with message of unity united fronts will solve the problem. July 1932 37% largest party in parliament. Nov. 1932 33% -- many people believed they loss their change: workers and catholics were never really swayed. Parliamentary structure in disarray: law being made through emergency decree by chancellor.
