In January , the population of the Saar coalfield, separated from Germany by the post-war treaties, were allowed a plebiscite and showed that over 90 per cent of the population wanted to reunite with Germany. Hitler regarded this as a great triumph because it was the first of the injustices of the Treaty of Versailles to be reversed.
A moderate policy up to Increased activity between and Hitler was placed in the 16 Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment and served as a runner, taking messages to and from the front line. Hitler was injured twice in the war and whilst he was in hospital recovering from his second injury, an armistice was declared and the war was over.
After the war, Hitler returned to Munich. He continued working for the army as an instruction officer in the information department. His job was to encourage nationalism and anti-communism amongst soldiers and infiltrate small political parties.
He was unimpressed by its lack of organisation, and set about transforming the group. He became responsible for recruitment and propaganda, and organised larger party meetings and rallies, where he would give speeches. His oratory skills soon became indispensable to the party. Following this announcement, Hitler pushed for an overhaul of the party structure, replacing the democratic committee with a single leader who would have ultimate control.
This proposal was rejected. On the 11 July , over a disagreement about merging with another party, Hitler resigned. Hitler stated he would only return if he was made party chairman, with dictatorial powers. Hitler became the party chairman. Prior to Hitler joining, the Nazi Party held extremely nationalist, racist and antisemitic views.
After Hitler had joined the party, he expanded upon and marketed these ideas. Hitler had a racist world view. He believed that people could be separated into a hierarchy of different races, where some races were superior and others were inferior. Hitler and the Nazis considered Jews to be an inferior race of people, who set out to weaken other races and take over the world. Hitler also wanted to rid Germany of the disabled, homosexuals, Roma and Sinti, and other minorities that did not fit in to his idea of an Aryan race.
His expansionist policies sought Lebensraum for the German people. Hitler wanted to create a generation of young Aryans who were physically fit and totally obedient through programmes such as Hitler Youth. He believed these policies would unite Germany and ensure it was the strongest nation on earth.
Hitler developed and publicised all of these ideas in his books, Mein Kampf and Zweites Buch , and speeches throughout his time in power. On the 8 November , Hitler attempted to pull off a military coup and overthrow the Weimar Republic. Throughout , the economic and political crisis struck.
