Inquiry Question

Inquiry Question: Was it favourable circumstances or Hitler’s leadership abilities that led to his rise in prominence in the late 1920s?

I believe that is mostly Hitler’s leadership abilities that led to his rise in prominence. One of them being his charisma and oratorical skills. Charisma-what is defined as
“compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.”
Contrary to beliefs, Hitler was actually an unsociable person, but he makes up for it in his determination reach his goals and ability to convince people to understand his views and support them, when he is determined to do something and intends to convince others to support his goals, his charismatic skills show. However, it is believed that he still lacked sociable skills and wouldn’t be as charismatic when it comes to personal interactions as when he is facing a large group. It helped that during his speeches, he would say out loud what people at the time were thinking secretly which made it seem as if he knows what he is talking about which made the people more believing in him

Then comes his oratorical skills. Joseph Goebbels , his loyal supporter, said in his book entitled, “ Bilder aus dem Leben des Führers” , which said of how Hitler is a speaker from the heart which is a unique trait and that it is what made many people support him. Joseph Goebbels then proceed to praise Hitler’s words in flowery details. This is one of the many proofs of how his skills in speaking is one of hist talents which nearly singlehandedly led to his rise to power
