When in 1933 Hitler was forming his government, Goebbels, the head of propaganda for the NSDAP, became a minister of propaganda. He couldn’t control his pure hatred towards Jews and left-wing parties. Goebbels felt just in place in this atmosphere: both his public speeches and published articles tilted towards more radical way of thinking. Fights between parties’ militias and political assassinations became an everyday reality.
In the last years of existence of the Weimar Republic, during a time of great crisis for the country, political arguments became very brutal. Since that moment, he had immunity and a free ride ticket (allowing him to use public transport without charge – editor’s note), which allowed him to take part in party gatherings all across the country. Even though, two years later the NSDAP failed to get much support in the parliamentary elections, Goebbels managed to become an MP. He then managed to popularise the main ideas of the Nazi Party in the “red” capital of Germany, where the left-wing parties originally had more support. “We will work on people for so long, that they must eventually cave”Ī breakthrough in Goebbels’ career was, without doubt, the moment he became promoted to Gauleiter of the NSDAP (the party leader of a regional branch of the Nazi Party – translator’s note) in Berlin, in 1926.
Poles, Jews and Gypsies are all at the same level of human imperfection.” “To all in Germany (…) it must become apparent that to be Polish is to be less than human. Certain that Hitler was fulfilling “God’s plan”, Joseph joined his party and took it upon himself to prepare pamphlets, publish newspapers and take part in party’s gatherings, proving his unprecedented orator skills. Goebbels was fascinated with Hitler himself and the fondness quickly grew to unconditional devotion. In 1924 Joseph Goebbels, an unfulfilled and unemployed author, got interested with a radical, anti-Semite program of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP), which leader, Adolf Hitler, was just on trial for the 1923, November Beer Hall Putsch.
