Thesis
A “Superior Race” is a phrase that may have different meanings depending on who is using it. To Hitler, a superior race was the Aryan race or blond haired, blue eyed, and tall humans. He had hopes of creating a master race and taking over the world. As Hitler and the Nazis rose to power, they spread their belief in an ideal race through newspapers, posters, radio, and classrooms. The Nazis believed it was their responsibility to educate the young minds in order to make them believe in the Nazi beliefs. In order to create their master race, the Nazis took it upon themselves, as their right, to exterminate many groups, especially the Jews, Gypsies, blind, deaf, and mentally ill. The Nazi party holding control of Germany was a dark time in world history because of the rights and responsibilities they believed they had.
Horst Wessel Lied German Lyrics"Die Fahne hoch die Reihen fest geschlossen
S. A. marschiert mit ruhig festem Schritt Kam'raden die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen Marschier'n im Geist in unsern Reihen mit Die Strasse frei den braunen Batallionen Die Strasse frei dem Sturmabteilungsmann Es schau'n auf's Hackenkreuz voll Hoffung schon Millionen Der Tag fur Freiheit und fur Brot bricht an Zum letzen Mal wird nun Appell geblasen Zum Kampfe steh'n wir alle schon bereit Bald flattern Hitler-fahnen Uber allen Strassen Die Knechtschaft dauert nur mehr kurze Zeit Die Fahne hoch die Reihen fest geschlossen S. A. marschiert mit ruhig festem Schritt Kam'raden die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen Marschier'n im Geist in unsern Reihen mit" |
Horst Wessel Lied English Lyrics"Flag high, ranks closed,
The S.A. marches with silent solid steps. Comrades shot by the red front and reaction march in spirit with us in our ranks. The street free for the brown battalions, The street free for the Storm Troopers. Millions, full of hope, look up at the swastika; The day breaks for freedom and for bread. For the last time the call will now be blown; For the struggle now we all stand ready. Soon will fly Hitler-flags over every street; Slavery will last only a short time longer. Flag high, ranks closed, The S.A. marches with silent solid steps. Comrades shot by the red front and reaction march in spirit with us in our ranks." |
