Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    In what state was the Nazi party when Hitler left prison?

    Model answer

    It had been banned, its membership had scattered, and rival nationalist groups were competing for the same voters, so Hitler had to refound it in 1925.

  2. 2

    What strategy did Hitler adopt after 1925?

    Model answer

    The so-called policy of legality: contesting elections and building a nationwide organisation, while keeping the SA to dominate the streets.

  3. 3

    How was the party organised across Germany?

    Model answer

    The country was divided into regions, each under a Gauleiter appointed by and answerable to Hitler, with local branches beneath them and specialist organisations for students, teachers, doctors, farmers and women.

  4. 4

    State what was settled at the Bamberg conference of 1926.

    Model answer

    Hitler defeated the northern wing around Gregor Strasser, which wanted a more socialist and anti-capitalist programme, and confirmed both the Twenty-Five Points and his own supremacy.

  5. 5

    Who was Joseph Goebbels, and what was his early role?

    Model answer

    Originally a supporter of Strasser, he was won over by Hitler and made Gauleiter of Berlin, where he built the party's presence in a hostile communist stronghold and ran its propaganda.

  6. 6

    When was the SS founded, and what was its original purpose?

    Model answer

    In 1925, as a small elite bodyguard for Hitler, distinct from and subordinate to the much larger SA.
