As mentioned in the previous stanza, the Nazis used the Gleichschaltung to unify the German Empire and all its citizens, in political and social terms, as well as in public and private life. Gleichschaltung means coordination or doing the same. The term is used to describe that the National Socialists tried to coordinate all people to be equal and follow their ideology. All of the above-mentioned organizations, such as the children's organizations Hitler Jugend and Bund Deutscher Mädel, were created to bring together the citizens of the country. In those organizations, people were taught the ideology and concepts of the leaders, so that they all thought and supported the same thing, which of course was National Socialism. Within this coordination process, previous values were transformed into Nazi ideology. Freedom of the press no longer existed. From the outside it seemed that it was always the same and everyone could write whatever they wanted, but if they wrote something inappropriate or something negative about the NSDAP or National Socialism in general, there was a strong risk of losing their job or even worse, being killed for criticizing Hitler's methods and ideology. In 1935, the Anordnung zur Beseitigung der Skandalpresse (trans.: Regulation for the elimination of poor-quality printing presses) was passed, with which publishers who damaged the press and the NSDAP could be expelled from the market. Furthermore, the new theme for many newspaper articles became anti-Semitism in newspapers such as Der Völkischer Beobachter and Der Stürmer, whose editor actually supported Hitler in a big way. To enforce the Gleichschaltung, there were the SA and the SS (mentioned above). , the Central Office of the Order Police and the Sicherheitsdienst (similar to the CIA; also called...... middle of paper......the 11 million Jews living in Europe. The Jews who could work they would be deported to work in concentration camps. The rest would be deported directly to extermination camps. It is estimated that about 3 million Jews were killed in those camps. Furthermore, National Socialism was anti-communist 'anti-Semitism when he spoke of anti-communism. In reality, Hitler was not particularly against communism, but against the people living in the East and their revolution, because he thought it might damage his own seizure of power), which was the idea to claim a living space in the East since the space for the Aryan race was too small. Within this theory it is also said that war is needed to obtain this living space.
