Fears of Adolf Hitler: The Nazi Dictator was Long Afraid of Being Overthrown

One of the most influential people in history was Adolf Hitler. According to "Nazi Leader Adolf Hitler Links Race and Nationality, 1927," document, one may begin to see why Hitler was viewed as a despot and a tyrant. People always thought of him as such because of the strategy he chose during his leadership. He merely killed everyone, who he deemed was a threat to Germans. His main goal, according to the document, was to make sure that the German blood stayed "pure."

He also believed that Jews are "parasites," and that "[their] intellect has in all periods been developed by contact with surrounding civilizations. Never the opposite." However, all these statements, made by Hitler, seem to show that Hitler was self-conscious and made up non existing threats, with which he dealt in a maniacal way.

I also believe that a true leader, who is self-confident, would not kill people, but would find a different strategy to deal with these "threats." The killing strategy that he took meant that he was unable to take control over his enemies and since he was afraid of them, he began the mass murder.

Hitler thought that if "blood [would be] mixed with that of inferior peoples the result [would be] an end of the culture-sustaining race." It also seems that Hitler was afraid that once there would be blood mixture, other cultures would begin to dominate the Aryan race, and Hitler would be overthrown as a leader.

This, however, did not seem to threaten the country, for a country could become more knowledgeable in terms of other cultures. However, this could threaten a leader who was afraid that others might take over; a leader who was very weak in nature. In addition, the fact that he forbids mixed marriages, some people could not marry those who they were in love with.

Hitler mentions that all the people who are not Germans are "inferior," and, should therefore be killed. However, a question emerges: If they truly were as Hitler believed inferior to Germans, then why were they considered a threat? I believe that Hitler mentioned that they are inferior only so that his followers would not be afraid to fight these "inferior" people, while Hitler really saw them as a threat, and, therefore, powerful. It came as a surprise to me that Hitler, while believing that Jews were inferior, saw them as a threat to his power. If he saw someone as a threat then perhaps he did not actually believe that they were inferior, and this is why he wanted to kill them.

Hitler especially hated Jews. According to him, Jews were "the exact opposite of the Germans." He believed that Jews did not have a culture of their own and used lifestyles of other races to live, and considered them "parasites." Therefore, he wanted to kill them more then all the others. In order to achieve his goals, Hitler took a rather destructive strategy. He was basically acting like a maniac; killing all those he considered a threat.

This does not show power, this shows fear. He believed that they might over dominate the German nation, (which would never happen, since it did not happen with other nations). In this case, it seems that Hitler was more afraid to lose his power than to actually sustain the German nation. His strategy to kill did not benefit Germany either, because, Hitler's views caused people to engage in an unnecessary fights with other nations.

A maniac is someone who is weak in nature, and Hitler's actions all point to it. Were he a strong and confident leader, he would come up with a strong strategy or a law in order to benefit his nation, and would not worry about other people overthrowing him as a leader. His leadership qualities symbolize a person who has no control and is afraid, and, therefore sees everything as a threat, (even if there is no real threat). Unable to control the situation, Hitler panics and goes to extremes.
This paper portrays Hitler in a different way. It is rather surprising that Hitler, one who was always known as a tyrant, with a more profound analyze appeared as someone who was afraid, and, moreover, inferior. I know that a strong and confident leader, would never begin to kill, but would come up with a firm strategy to deal with the "threats." However, when one has no control and is afraid, one begins to do anything possible (killing in Hitler's case) to win the battle. This, however, does not symbolize power. It merely shows how paltry the person is.
