Christopher Browning’s “Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion
101” and Daniel Goldhagen’s “Hitler’s Willing Executioners
[ send me this paper ]
Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust: This 6 page report discusses
these two books and compares their differing premises regarding
the actions taken (or not taken) by “ordinary” German citizens
during the Holocaust. Browning’s premise was that circumstances
such as peer pressure, career promotion, and the mindless
conformity of society led large numbers of common, everyday
people to participate in murdering the Jews of Europe. On the
other hand, Goldhagen claims that the well-established German
tradition of an “eliminationist ideal” resulted in a type of
anti-Semitism that was, in his opinion, a solely “German
pathology.” No other sources.

Did the Germans Who Voted for Hitler Realize that They were Voting for War and Mass Murder?
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page paper discussing the campaigns of Hitler and the Nazi party in regards to the party holding the majority in the 1932 and 1933 elections. Were the Germans aware of his eventual intentions? Adolph Hitler (1889-1945) was the Nazi party leader in Germany from 1919-1945, eventually becoming Chancellor from 1933-1945. The history of the events which happened under the Hitler regime before and during World War II in regards to his occupation and declaration of war on the countries in Europe and his mass murder of the Jews among others have become well known and have horrified many around the globe. One of the most common questions in regards to Hitler’s rise to fame is “how did free and fair democratic elections lead to the extraordinarily anti-democratic Nazi Party winning control of the Weimar Republic” and did the Germans voting for Hitler realize his future plans for war and mass murder during the time of the elections? (King, Rosen, Tanner & Wagner, 2002). In retrospect it seems unbelievable that the Nazi Party could have gained power in a democratic regime, however based on the momentum of the popularity of the Nazi Party from 1919 to 1930, and the dire economic conditions of Germany at the time, it is quite possible that the Germans who voted for Hitler and the Nazi Party were doing so more for the future of the economy and strength of Germany without realizing the extent to which Hitler would push the limits of his own power and that of the Nazi Party. While some may argue that his intentions were well documented in his book “Mein Kampf” published in 1925, the book was not popular nor well read until after Hitler became Chancellor of Germany and Hitler’s final push in the 1932 and 1933 elections centered on unity, economic stability, employment, business opportunities, expansion of the military in addition to the promotion of nationalism; factors more so prominent in the minds of the Germans during the Depression.
