On Friday, Paqui continued talking about Hitler and NSDA.
Hitler was who headed for Germany during World War II, initiated by him with the main purpose to fulfill their expansionist plans in Europe. Hitler married his long-time lover, Eva Braun. On 30 April 1945, less than two days later, the two committed suicide to avoid capture by the Red Army, and their corpses were burned. Hitler participed in WW1, after the war, tha army infiltrated him as an informant to report on the DAP ( German Worker`s Party ), an extreme right party. As he was a skilled speakerm he soon became one of its leaders.
NSDA (National Socialist German Worker´s Party), very similar to Italian Fascist (extreme nationalism, use of violence...) with three specific ideas:
-Anti-semitism: hate for the Jews, condidered to be the responsible of all bad things (scapegoat for all the problems Germany had).
-Superiority of the arian "race" and need for vital space: space the Arians needed to live with dignity, which extended throught the Grear European Plain.
- Demand of abrogarion of Versailles Treaty.
