Hitler’s Rise to Power: A Historical Account of the Events that Led Hitler to Power

Hitler’s Rise to Power: A Historical Account of the Events that Led Hitler to Power is the translation and documentary edition of multiple works published in 1933 that present the official narrative of the German State regarding the political process that led to Adolf Hitler’s arrival in government.

The book forms part of the corpus of institutional publications intended to legitimize the new political order, and offers a chronological reconstruction of the principal episodes of the period: the reorganization of the political movement, mass mobilization, the role of party organizations, the symbolic construction of leadership, propagandistic campaigns, and the events culminating on January 30, 1933.

Far from being a modern interpretation, this work constitutes a primary historical source of a political-propagandistic nature, of high value for researchers, students, and readers interested in twentieth-century political history, the historiography of totalitarianism, and the critical analysis of mechanisms of accession to power.

Its interest lies precisely in its problematic character: as a document that makes it possible to understand from within how official narratives are constructed, how political legitimacy is manufactured, and how propaganda operates in contexts of institutional crisis and democratic collapse.
