Hitler's Rise: Austrian To Führer

Adolf Hitler was an Austrian citizen who became the leader of Germany. He was a charismatic and astute politician who knew how to exploit unrest during the Great Depression to gain popularity. Hitler's speeches would last several hours, and he quickly dispatched any rivals. He was also able to build a loyal and feared SS force around himself. In 1932, Hitler placed second in the presidential race, and the winner, Paul von Hindenburg, appointed him chancellor in January 1933. After Hindenburg's death in 1934, Hitler became Führer.

Hitler's charisma

Hitler's ability to inspire and motivate his followers was legendary. He created a cult of personality around himself, cultivating an image of strength and determination. His followers saw him as a messiah figure, someone who could lead them to a better future. This charismatic leadership was a key component of his success in rallying the German people behind his vision and gaining their support for his extreme policies and ideologies.

Hitler's Austrian citizenship

Hitler was born in Brunau am Inn on 20 April 1889, then part of Austria-Hungary. He moved to Germany in 1912 or 1913, but he was still an Austrian citizen when he fought for the German Army in World War I.

Hitler was a very charismatic and astute leader who knew what needed to be done to achieve power. He was also very ambitious and wanted to be the leader of the Nazi Party. He quickly and easily dispatched any number of rivals.

> "I ask for my release from Austrian citizenship. Reasons: I have been in Germany since 1912, have served for almost six years in the German army, including 4½ years at the front and now intend to acquire German citizenship. Since I currently do not know whether my Austrian citizenship is not already extinct anyway, but an entry of the Austrian soil was rejected by an order of the Federal Government, I ask for a favourable decision of my request."

Hitler remained stateless for almost seven years. He made seven attempts to receive German citizenship since 1925. Finally, on 25 February 1932, the interior minister of Brunswick, Dietrich Klagges, who was a member of the Nazi Party, appointed Hitler as administrator for the state's delegation to the Reichsrat in Berlin. This made Hitler a citizen of Brunswick and, therefore, a citizen of Germany.
