Part 13/14:
The year 1921 marked a pivotal moment in the rise of German right-wing extremism. The Nazi Party was still a minor force but had begun to define itself as a revolutionary and militant movement under Hitler’s leadership. The violent street clashes, the strengthening of the SA, and assassinations by radical organizations showcased the dangerous direction Germany was heading.
This climate of political terrorism, combined with the growing influence of Adolf Hitler and his radical ideology, foreshadowed the coming decade of upheaval. The far-right’s willingness to use violence and terror against their opponents underscored the fragility of the Weimar Republic and the escalating threat posed by nationalist and fascist movements.
