Historical Note
The common word “Nazi” is a contraction of the German word Nationalsozialismus, or National Socialism, a political
movement that emerged after W.W.I. The party was founded in 1920 and led almost from the outset by Adolph
Hitler. In 1933 the party gained control of the German state and established a dictatorship, embarking on a program of
domestic reconstruction and foreign conquest that culminated in W.W.II. With Germany’s defeat in 1945, National
Socialism collapsed.
National Socialism was not grounded in a well-formulated ideology. Its underlying ideas included such abstruse and
contradictory doctrines as the following: the Nordic master race was created to rule over inferior races, especially the
Jews; there should be pan-German unification--that is, the gathering of all persons of German blood into a greater
German Reich; the Führer (leader) is the mystical embodiment of the Third Reich; National Socialism supersedes
Marxist international socialism; and the medieval corporatist society and a Germanic tribal society of peasants should
serve as paradigms for the Third Reich.
