    Characteristic of the natzi party is described below

    Explanation:

    Nazism, also spelled Naziism, in full National Socialism, German Nationalsozialismus, totalitarian movement led by Adolf Hitler as head of the Nazi Party in Germany. In its intense nationalism, mass appeal, and dictatorial rule, Nazism shared many elements with Italian fascism.

    1. It was totalitarian

    Freedom of speech and association was abolished, and all means of molding public opinion-the press, the theatre, the cinema, the radio, the school and the university-were under the total control of the state. All political parties and labor unions were disbanded.

    2. Nazi Germany was one-party state

    only the National Socialist Party being legally recognized. The party was declared by law to be 'the bearer of the idea of German state'. Its emblem-Swastika-was the emblem of the state and its leader was the head of state.

    3. It was a 'folk state'

    The Nazis claimed that the Nordic race, to which family the Germans belong, has the finest qualities of men and greatest accomplishments in the annals of history. It follows, therefore, that if a nation has to maintain its glorious record of achievements and its unity, the racial purity of the state has to be preserved.

    4. The state was based upon 'leader principle'

    German politics was based on the idea that every citizen was directly or indirectly responsible to Hitler for his life and conduct. The actions of leaders were above scrutiny and criticism, as they are necessarily right. Democracy and all talk of rule of people were self-deception. The well-governed state is one where all powers are vested in a single leader. His will is law. Those who oppose the will of the leader should either be forced to obey it or thrown in concentration camps
