Money, Money, Money!

Money makes the world go round, and in case of Germany in 1933, it allowed a certain Adolf Hitler to rise to power. I agree with this statement as i feel that besides money issues, Hitler's own attributes allowed him to rise to power.

The lost of a capable leader, Gustav Stresseman, died of a heart attack. His death made Germany very vulnerable again as it depended on America's ability to lend  money. Before he died, he brought stability to Germany and ended the Ruhr occupation. This means that there would be more income for Germany again. However, since Germany was vulnerable, this made Hitler to take the chance to rise to power as he could use the excuse of the people being poor and to help them if he was at that high position.

The constitution and system of proportion representation to help them with Hitler rise to power. Germany's government could not last more than two years as it keeps changing government. This means that there would be no stability as no single party would be dominant. Hitler then advocated a different system of government. It helped many parties to gain seats in the government and allowed Germans above 20 to vote. This would let the Germans to have a say in Germany and also they will support Hitler as he helped them.

Hitler was an excellent speaker and charismatic leader. People would be mesmerized by his speech and would sit down and listen to him talk for hours. Hitler seemed to understand their problems and promised them that he would bring stability back to Germany. By doing this, Hitler would be more popular among the Germans as they would be willing to trust him even more. This also allowed Hitler to rise to power.

A commentary on the reliability of ' The Eternal Jew ' poster



From source 1 a movie poster from the movie' The Ethernal Jew' i could infer that it is not reliable, the jews were not the way they describe as.The picture that was drawn as a jews looks more like a rat instead of a human, it was to show that the jews were evil by drawing them a monster to represent them, which was not how they really look liked . This shows that the person that drew this were against the jews. Also they painted the man so huge and big size in the picture using black which shows a dislike towards them.

Cross reference to souce 2, it states that" the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew" this tells me Adolf Hilter really hated the jew and name them as a devil. Another evidence was"so gigantic"which seems to describe them as a giant or monster . This two evidences shows that they were against the jews and being bias as they had hated them. The sources were produced by the Nazi party which had a bad opinion of the jews .As both source is bias i can conclude that this sources are not reliable.
