<h2>Hitler and the Nazis</h2> | |
<ul> | |
<li>The Catholic Archbishop of Munster, <u><b>von Galen</b></u>, | |
led a successful campaign to end euthanasia of mentally-disabled people.</li> | |
<li>Various "<u><b>Swing groups</b></u>" tried to oppose Hitler, but they were stamped out</li> | |
<li>Many Protestant pastors, led by Martin Niemöller, formed the <u><b>Confessional Church</b></u> | |
in opposition to Hitler's Reich Church. Niemöller was held in a concentration camp during the period 1937-1945. | |
Another Protestant pastor, Dietrich Bonhöffer, took part in the 1944 bomb plot and was executed.</li> | |
<li>Loudspeakers in public places blared out Nazi propaganda.</li> | |
<li>People's radios were sold very cheaply, but broadcasts were controlled.</li> | |
<li>Films were controlled to make films that glorified war and pilloried the Jews.</li> | |
<li>Cult of personality - Hitler's picture was everywhere, and he was portrayed as Germany's saviour.</li> | |
<li>Blockleiters in each block of flats and street informed on 'grumblers'. </li> | |
<li>Hitler ordered Nazification - the imposition of Nazi values - on all aspects of German life.</li> | |
<li>Dr Robert Ley, head of the <acronym title="German Labour Front">DAF</acronym>, boasted that he controlled workers' | |
