Read the source given below and answer the following questions:
This crisis in the economy, polity and society formed the background to Hitler’s
rise to power. Born in 1889 in Austria, Hitler spent his youth in poverty. When
the First World War broke out, he enrolled for the army, acted as a messenger in
the front, became a corporal, and earned medals for bravery. The German defeat
horrified him and the Versailles Treaty made him furious. In 1919, he joined a
small group called the German Workers’ Party. He subsequently took over the
organisation and renamed it the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. This
party came to be known as the Nazi Party.
In 1923, Hitler planned to seize control of Bavaria, march to Berlin and capture
power. He failed, was arrested, tried for treason, and later released. The Nazis
could not effectively mobilise popular support till the early 1930s. It was during
the Great Depression that Nazism became a mass movement. As we have seen,
after 1929, banks collapsed and businesses shut down, workers lost their jobs
and the middle classes were threatened with destitution. In such a situation Nazi
propaganda stirred hopes of a better future. In 1928, the Nazi Party got no more
than 2. 6 per cent votes in the Reichstag – the German parliament. By 1932, it
had become the largest party with 37 per cent votes.
