Göring himself took over the Gestapo in 1934 and urged Hitler to extend the agency's authority throughout Germany.

Hitler took advantage of this event, forcing von Hindenburg to sign the Reichstag Fire Decree, which suspended basic rights and allowed detention without trial.

Strasser (" the most able of the leading Nazis " of this period ) took the " socialist " component of National Socialism far more seriously than did Hitler and other members of the Bavarian leadership of the party.

The role of the new ministry, which took over palatial accommodation in the 18th-century Leopold Palace on Wilhelmstrasse, just across from Hitler ’ s offices in the Reich Chancellery, was to centralize Nazi control of all aspects of German cultural and intellectual life, particularly the press, radio and the visual and performing arts.

When Hitler said he approved of what was happening, Goebbels took this as authorization to organise a nationwide pogrom against the Jews.

There he repeated in a different form all that he had already said, for all the world as if he had a gramophone fixed in his brain ... When I took leave, he subjected me to an interminable handshake, meanwhile fixing his cold blue eyes on mine, and repeating almost word for word what he said to me on arrival ... I felt I should never be able to establish any human contact with this man " In early June 1940, when Mussolini informed Hitler that he at long last would enter the war on 10 June 1940, Hitler was most dismissive, in private calling Mussolini a cowardly opportunist who broke the terms of the Pact of Steel in September 1939 when the going looked rough, and was only entering the war in June 1940 after it was clear that France was beaten and it appeared that Britain would soon make peace.

As Hitler was displeased with Ribbentrop over his opposition to attacking Yugoslavia, he then broke down and took to his bed for the next couple of days.

Hitler's chief lieutenants, Göring and the SS chief Heinrich Himmler, took this and other comments by Hitler at this time ( most of which were not recorded, but were attested to at postwar trials ) as authority to proceed with a definitive " final solution of the Jewish question " ( Die Endlösung der Judenfrage ) involving the complete removal of the Jews from the German-occupied territories.

During the Night of the Long Knives in 1934, a purge of those whom Hitler deemed threats to his power took place, he had Röhm murdered and used Röhm's homosexuality as a justification to suppress outrage within the ranks of the SA.

In July 1941, when the U. S Marines took over the occupation of Iceland, Raeder advised Hitler that Germany should declare war on the United States as a reply.

Recognizing Hitler's fondness for Dönitz, Raeder always took Dönitz with him ( despite their mutual dislike ) when he went to lobby Hitler for more naval funding, guessing correctly that Hitler was more likely to say yes to a request for more money for U-boat construction from Dönitz than he was from himself.

Raeder took a great deal of pleasure in criticising Hitler's SS security because he had taken a loaded handgun with him during his lunch with Hitler, but was not searched ; after the lunch, Raeder produced the handgun, and then subjected Hitler's SS bodyguards to a lengthy lecture about their incompetence.

Finally, Raeder was presented as a victim of Hitler with the committee having Raeder say " It was the tragedy of my life that our future took a completely different path ".

After Hitler took power in 1933, the SA became increasingly eager for power and saw themselves as a replacement for the German army, then limited by law to no more than 100, 000 men.

In Munich, Hitler took part in " national thinking " courses organized by the Education and Propaganda Department of the Bavarian Reichswehr under Captain Karl Mayr.

The ministers took this to mean that he would establish a new government under the direction of Hitler, potentially a treasonous act.

While Ernst Lubitsch's 1942 To Be or Not To Be dealt with similar themes ( even including another mistaken-identity Hitler figure ), after the scope of Nazi atrocities became apparent it took nearly twenty years before any other films dared to satirize the era.

Hitler took his survival to be a " divine moment in history ", and commissioned a special decoration to be made.

During rehearsals, Bronski's resemblance to Hitler was called into question, so he took to the streets to prove himself.

Irving also took the view that Hitler often tried to help the Jews of Europe.

Placed in charge of the party office in Lower Bavaria by Strasser from late 1924, he was responsible for integrating the area's membership with the NSDAP under Hitler when the party was re-founded in February 1925.

Heydrich calculated the number of Jews to be killed at 11 million, and told the attendees that Hitler had placed Himmler in charge of the plan.

In 1939 he was arrested on a trumped-up charge of being involved in a plot against Hitler ( see Georg Elser ), but was later released.

During World War Two, the Master was Sir Will Spens, who was also Regional Commissioner for the Eastern Region: had Hitler invaded, he would have been in charge of running Eastern England.

On September 19, 1933, Hitler told the mayor of Berlin that his city was " unsystematic ", but it was not until January 30, 1937, that Speer was officially put in charge of plans for the reshaping of Berlin, although he had been working on them unofficially in 1936.

After the assassination attempt against Adolf Hitler on 20 July 1944, Müller was placed in charge of the arrest and interrogation of all those suspected of involvement in the resistance.

The Israeli historian Danny Orbach in his 2010 book Valkyrie: Hahitnagdut Hagermanit Lehitler ( Valkyrie: Germans Against Hitler ) defended Goerdeler against the charge that he was an anti-Semite by noting Goerdeler's strong support for Zionism and his work with Chaim Weizmann in encouraging German Jews to move to the British Mandate for Palestine.

Had it succeeded, Hitler intended to place Brauchitsch in charge of the new conquest.

Hitler was angered by the loss of momentum, and when List proposed moving some stalled spearhead units to another, less advanced portion of the front to assist in destroying stubborn Soviet forces, Hitler relieved him of command on 9 September and placed himself in charge of Army Group A.

Adolf Hitler himself conceived of a plan to take over the fort by getting men on the fort by using gliders to overcome the problem of concentrating an airdrop on a small target, and utilizing the new top secret shaped charge ( also called " hollow charge ") bombs to penetrate the cupolas.

This presented a problem for the Army when it was revealed that Hitler was still alive and in charge.

Loringhoven's cousin, Wessel Freytag von Loringhoven, provided the detonator charge and explosives for the July 20 assassination attempt against Adolf Hitler.

The next day, Hitler sent a congratulatory telegram to the officer in charge of the V-2 rocket launching team at Hellendoorn.

SS-Obergruppenführer Josef " Sepp " Dietrich, previously in charge of the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler, was the corps ' first commander.

Hitler did just that 23 years ago, building up tensions that first led to a Munich and then to a world war.

In 1938 Attlee opposed the Munich Agreement in which Chamberlain negotiated with Hitler to give Germany the German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia, the Sudetenland: We all feel relief that war has not come this time.

In the 1924 national election, the Munich cultural journal Süddeutsche Monatshefte published a series of articles blaming the SPD and trade unions for Germany's defeat in World War I, which came out during the trial of Adolf Hitler and Ludendorff for high treason following the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923.

The Nazis, led by Hitler and the German war hero Erich Ludendorff, attempted a " March on Berlin " modeled upon the March on Rome, which resulted in the failed Beer Hall Putsch in Munich in November 1923.

In 1938 Germany annexed Austria and Italy assisted in Germany in resolving the diplomatic crisis between Germany versus Britain and France over claims on Czecholslovakia by arranging the Munich Agreement that gave Germany the Sudetenland and was perceived at the time to have averted a European war, these hopes faded when Hitler violated the Munich Agreement by ordering the invasion and partition of Czechoslovakia between Germany and a client state of Slovakia in 1939.

In 1920, Adolf Hitler had just begun his political career as the leader of the tiny and as-yet-unknown Deutsche Arbeiterpartei / DAP German Workers Party, which was soon renamed the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei / NSDAP ( National Socialist German Workers Party ) or Nazi Party in Munich.

According to the archival caption, these men are planning the investigation of the bomb assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler of 8 November 1939 in Munich.

At the Munich Conference of September 1938, Hitler, the Italian leader Benito Mussolini, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier agreed upon the cession of Sudeten territory to the German Reich by Czechoslovakia.

However, hardly six months after the Munich Agreement, in March 1939, Hitler used the smoldering quarrel between Slovaks and Czechs as a pretext for taking over the rest of Czechoslovakia as the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.

As a member of Röhm's paramilitary unit, Himmler was involved in the Beer Hall Putsch — an unsuccessful attempt by Hitler and the NSDAP to seize power in Munich.

Hitler was in Munich at the same time and entered politics as a result of similar experiences.

On 9 November, the evening vom Rath died of his wounds, Goebbels was at the Bürgerbräu Keller in Munich with Hitler, celebrating the anniversary of the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch with a large crowd of veteran Nazis.

Like Hitler, Ribbentrop was determined that in the next crisis, Germany would not have its professed demands met in another Munich-type summit, and that the next crisis to be caused by Germany would result in the war that Chamberlain had " cheated " the Germans out of at Munich.

In the aftermath of Munich, Hitler was in a violently anti-British mood caused in part by his rage over being " cheated " out of the war to " annihilate " Czechoslovakia that he very much wanted to have in 1938, and in part by his realization that Britain would neither ally herself nor stand aside in regard to Germany's ambition to dominate Europe.

As a consequence, after Munich, Britain was considered to be the main enemy of the Reich, and as a result, the influence of ardently Anglophobic Ribbentrop correspondingly rose with Hitler.

While the republican government had been restored, Munich subsequently became a hotbed of extremist politics, among which Adolf Hitler and the National Socialism rose to prominence.
