- See also changes related to Nazi Party, or pages that link to Nazi Party or to this page or whose text contains "Nazi Party".
- Apologies; I'm not being proper in my umlauts in the interest of getting concepts covered
Parent topics
- Fascism [r]: Political ideology of the far right that seeks national unity through patriotism, collectivism, subservience of the individual and opposition to liberalism. [e]
- Adolf Hitler [r]: (1889–1945) Politician in Germany; became 1921 Nazi Party leader, 1933 Reichskanzler (Chancellor), then 1934 as der Führer dictator before and during World War II. [e]
- Totalitarianism [r]: Any political system, or ideologies that support such a system, in which a centralized political authority controls every aspects of life. [e]
- Tripartite Pact [r]: The treaty Tripartite Pact of September 27, 1940, created the Second World War Axis of Germany, Japan, and Italy. [e]
- World War II [r]: (1931–1945) global war killing 53 million people, with the "Allies" (UK, US, Soviet Union) eventually halting aggressive expansion by the "Axis" (Nazi Germany and Japan). [e]
Subtopics
- Operation Barbarossa [r]: The German invasion of the Soviet Union, beginning on June 22, 1941 [e]
- Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact [r]: A 1939 nonaggression pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, with a secret protocol establishing spheres of influence for the two countries; effectively abrogated by the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union by Germany [e]
- The Holocaust [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Schutzstaffel [r]: A Nazi German organization, the "SS". technically part of the National Socialist German Workers' Party but in many respects a "state within a state", its functions intermingled with government offices in a manner characteristic of Adolf Hitler's desire to keep final control. While it is best known for its security and genocidal operations, it also had major economic and regular military roles, a far growth from its original role as Hitler's personal bodyguard [e]
