"I aimed from the first at something a
thousand times higher than being a minister. I wanted to become the destroyer
of Marxism. I am going to achieve this task and, if I do, the title of minister
will be an absurdity as far as I am concerned. . . .”
In this passage Hitler made it clear that
he had a bigger vision than the title of a minister. Therefore, in the
following years he became a president after the death of Paul Von Hindenburg.
His second ambition was to get rid of Marxism in order to bring Germany back
its economic prosperity. At this point he was able to please his audience by
telling them what they wanted to hear and the changes that they were expecting. Even today we still have leaders who are very good in speeches and their abilities to connect with the audience is critical to win an election. For instance is known as a great speaker and this quality helped him to win a second term.
Yes I agree with your stating that Hitler is looking at a greater vision, but the extreme measures that he took to achieve this greater vision is beyond words. Many lives were sacrifice in order for him to achieve what he felt was the greater good for Germany. Its funny how politicians say what the public want to hear upon entering office, but not really the means of achieving there goal.
