Essay, Research Paper: Hitler Vs. Stalin

The dictatorship of Hitler was much worse then that of
Stalin. Hitler was one of the most powerful leaders in time.
Once he was in power he quickly established himself as a
dictator. Thousands of anti-nazis were sent off to
concentration camps. Hitler relied on his secret police,
the Gestapo, and on jails and camps to intimidate his
opponents, but most Germans supported him. His armament
drive wiped out unemployment. Discrediting the churches
with charges of corruption and immorality, he imposed his
own brutal moral code. He derided the concept of human
equality and claimed racial superiority for the Germans.
Setting out on his empire-building mission, Hitler launched
Germany’s open rearmament in 1935, sent troops into
demilitarized Rhineland in 1936 and annexed Austria and
Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland in 1938. In March 1939 he
brought the remainder of Czechoslovakia under German
control. He also came to the aid of Francisco Frano’s
rebels in Spains civil war. Outmaneuvered and fearful of
war, no national leader offered resistance to his moves. As
time went on and defeat became more certain, Hitler still
refused to give up, feeling that Germany did not deserve to
survive because it had not lived up to its mission. Finally
on April 30,1945, Hitler committed suicide.
