Asst.6 Hitlers Rise To Power

The Nazi's were the largest party in the world at the time... They were actually voted to lead the Germans. They recieved 44 percent of the vote. Since they lost the vote against the communists, they held elections of their own. They won. They became the biggest party in the world!



As soon as Hitler got the chance to lead, he got private meetings together, told the newspapers what to write and leave out, and was in charge of the Nazi's every move. Most of the things Hitler did were top secret. And once someone found out about something, he would destroy it before they knew it. He had everything figured out and he was so good at lying that no one really knows about what really happened.
