He was now able to reposition his troops along the French border. Moreover, by occupying the Rhineland, he had also taken away France’s strategic advantage, and that would come in handy in a new war. It encouraged him to try to break other international agreements with impunity. The area had always been German until after the First World War, and Hitler's predecessors had wanted it back as well. Others felt that Germany was entitled to reclaim the Rhineland. Germany's old enemies, France and England, were busy dealing with domestic problems of their own and did not want to get involved in another war. Other countries took hardly any countermeasures. They had all been ordered to withdraw if foreign countries were to intervene.īut nothing happened. He had police officers march along to increase the visual impact. Hitler took a big risk, as he did not know how the Allies would react. According to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was not allowed to station an army there. In the morning of 7 March 1936, German troops occupied the Rhineland, a part of Germany that bordered on France. As a result, Hitler became relatively powerful in Germany.
Wilhelm Frick was appointed Minister of the Interior, and Hermann Göring took control of Prussia's police force. Nonetheless, Hitler managed to get his people appointed to important positions. The other ministers came from other right-wing parties. His new cabinet contained only two members of his own party, the NSDAP. Many of them did not expect Hitler to last very long at all.Īfter his appointment, Hitler was still no autocrat. Despite the impressive propaganda images Goebbels would produce later, not all Germans were impressed.

Mein Kampf is full of racist ideas and hatred of Jews and communists. He did not believe in parliamentary democracy. He raged against the Treaty of Versailles and the reparations that Germany had to pay because of the Treaty. He talked about his life and his youth, his 'conversion' to antisemitism (the hatred of Jews) and his time as a soldier in the First World War. In Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote about his ideology and presented himself as the leader of the extreme right. He wrote it in prison, where he was serving a sentence for a failed coup he attempted in 1923. On 18 July 1925, Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf (‘My Struggle’) was published. This party programme remained in force for as long as the Party existed.
