1) The salute:The “HitlerSalute”isoriginallyfromthe Roman Salute which was picked up by Mussolini
inItaly and latertakenby Hitler.Itbecame mandatory in 1926. It showed commitment within the party
and made a statement to the outside world.
Hitler’sideologyor Aryan principle: Hitler’sideologywas“the basicprinciple of blood”.He believedall
“true” Germanswere Aryanwhose bloodwasthatof the highestdegree.GodhadcreatedAryansas
perfectmenbothphysicallyandspiritually.
The swastika: In Das GeheimnisderRunen(The Secretof the Runes) there were sacredsymbolsof
ancientAryanknowledgewhen interpretedproperlycouldprovide anunderstandingof spiritual forces
He usedthe swastika,whichhe depictedasan occultsymbol of salvation,torepresentthe victoryof the
Aryansoverthe lowerraces
inMein Kampf Hitlerhadviewedthe swastikaassymbolizing".. . the missionof the struggle forthe
victoryof the Aryanman,and ... the victoryof the ideaof creative work,whichassuch alwayshasbeen
and alwayswill be anti-Semitic
Symbolslike the swastikabecome pointsof reference forwhich those arounditcanrallyand unite,
regardlessof the cause.
The flag: He also stated:"AsNational Socialists,we see ourprograminour flag.In red, we see the social
ideaof the movement;in white, the nationalisticidea;inthe swastika, the mission of the struggle for
the victoryof the Aryanman, and,by the same token,the victoryof the ideaof creative work."
Slogans: Kinder,Kirche,Kuche (Children,Church,Cooking)
The anthem: Duringthe Nazi era,onlythe firststanza of Das Deutschlandlied(The Songof Germany)
was used,followedbythe SA (The SturmabteilungorStormtroopers) songHorst-Wessel-Lied(also
knownas Die Fahnehoch or The FlagUp High)
Germany,Germanyabove all,

masterrace and Fuehrercult
Eliminationof the rightof freedomof speech,
Eliminationof freedomof pressandintroductionof censorship
Restrictionof freedomtotravel
Discriminationof all “none Germanselements”especiallythe Jewishpeople inall
aspectsof life
Erectionof concentrationcamps,euthanasia,forcedsterilisationandthe eventual
industrial genocide of the EuropeanJews
You cannot choose whoyouwantin governmentorforwhichparty youwantto vote,because there is
onlyone party andany oppositiontothatparty iscrushed
You cannot reallychoose whatnewsyouwanttoread or hear,because the mediaiscensoredtocomply
withwhatthe state wantsyouto know
You weren'tnecessarilytoldwheretoworkor to live,whomtomarry or how manychildrentohave,but
people were encouragedtodowhatthe state wantedthemtodo.
