4. The development of the Nazi Party 1924-1929

Nazi change of tactics 1924-29

*Change from physical force to constitutional tactics*

 The failure of the Munich Putsch convinced Hitler that the only way of getting power was by
legal means “hold our noses and enter the Reichstag”
 The Nazi Party was banned in the immediate aftermath of the putsch
 However, while Hitler was still in prison, the Nazis under another name, entered the
Reichstag elections and, in the afterglow of the trial, won 32 seats
 However, just 7 months later there was another election and the Nazis did disastrously
(seats reduced to just 14)
 However, the party remained deeply divided
 Not everyone agreed with new policy of legality
 Traditional regional hostilities continued to exist e.g. between party’s power base in
Bavaria and branches in northern Germany
 Policy difference between nationalist and anti-capitalist wings
 For over a year Hitler struggled with this internal friction
 Gregor Strasser epitomised the opposing standpoint- favoured more socialist, anti-capitalist
policies for workers and was effectively leader of movement in northern Germany (built Nazi
Party into mass movement)
 Became disillusioned when Hitler courted big businesses
 In Feb. 1926, differences within the party came to a head at a special party conference in
Bamberg
 Victory for Hitler as he mobilised sufficient support to re-establish his supremacy however,
party declared that original 25 point programme with its socialist elements remained
unchanged

Role of Hitler in rise of Nazis

 Able to turn his failure at Munich into a propaganda success- gained national publicity from
his bold defence at his trial
 Used time in prison to reflect on politics and to write Mein Kampf
 The chaos into which the Nazi party fell during his absence showed his indispensability to
the movement
 Party was officially refounded on 27th Feb. 1925
 He virtually re-founded the party and based it around the ‘Furher Principle’
 This gave Hitler supreme power over both policy and strategy
 He reorganised the party’s strategy, structure and symbols- introduced brown shirt for his
SA storm troopers, adopted the outstretched right arm as a salute and personally designed
the Nazi flag with the swastika- gave the party a clear and recognisable identity
 Only the 25 point programme remained fixed although its interpretation would become
flexible
 The ‘Furher Principle’ made the party an obedient tool of Hitler’s will
