How Hitler Rose to Power: Democracy to Dictatorship | History's Headlines
To kick off the new season of this podcast we're exploring one of the pivotal events from history that took place on this date.
On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany, a moment that would change history forever. But how did a radical extremist, once dismissed as a political outsider, rise to power within the democratic system?
In this episode, we explore the crisis-ridden years of the Weimar Republic, the Nazi Party’s use of propaganda, and the backroom political deals that convinced Germany’s elites they could control Hitler. From economic collapse to the miscalculations that led to this pivotal time in history.
