Hitler's Ideals Expressed in Mein Kampf

Volume One, Chapter Six:
"War Propaganda"
In this part of Hitler's Mien Kampf Hitler explains what he believes is necessary to win the popular vote of the German people. He believed that the people who were already educated about the Nazi party didn't need to be further educated and that the people who knew nothing about the party needed to understand so that everyone would know about them. He believed that the emotional aspect of the crowds needs to be adressed in order to actually pursued them enough to go with the Nazis. He said that the speeches had to be brief and something that the public understand in order for the mto retain what they are told. They believed that slashing the enemy in propaganda was a bad thing. Hitler lays out a good way to prepare the army with his example of British and American soldiers being warned about the Germans.

Volume One, Chapter Ten:
"Causes of the Collapse"

In this chapter Hitler explains what he believed was the cause of the collapse and how he sought to change things. He believed that it wasn't what the popular belief was (that the War had caused it) but rather the Jewish people were the cause for the collapse. He explains that the Jewish people's religion is based on lies which ultimately ruined the state. He believed that a large part of the economic downfall had to do with the disappearance of the right of public property and the national ownership of stocks. He says that the Jewish people had controlled the businesses and were turning the country into turmoil. He said that the Jews had been slowly trying to "break the backbone" of Germany and slowly take away the nationalism of the people.

Volume One, Chapter Eleven:
"Nation and Race"

Hitler believed that there should be one dominant race in Germany. This would be the national race. He says that a consequence of this is the 'delimitation' of the different races that naturally come to Germany. He disliked the idea of Aryan people having children with non-Aryan people and compares this to the Americas and the different peoples that live there. He wants to address the problem of Jewish people immediately and make sure that they no longer contribute to the racial problems. They need to also address the issue of the blood-Germans and the 'fake' Germans.

Volume Two, Chapter Fourteen:
"Eastern Orientation or Eastern Policy"

Hitler addresses the issues of national power and government in this section. He says that they must 'unflinchingly' take back the land that they are entitled to. He uses an analogy to blood sacrifice of one to the government to show how the public will work hard for the government and the government will work hard for the people. He says that the 'pen-pushers' are the people that are ruining the country. He continues to talk about how they will eventually conquer more land that other people are going to destroy with their ideas someday. He says that it is their right to have land and that they will become a world power or they will not be satisfied. Germany must provide to its citizens. This will probably look really good to the people of Germany and get them excited about the Nazi Party.
