I chose these two stills because they showcase the sort of blind loyalty and the “no questions asked” atmosphere that Adolph Hitler was able to construct in his country. This sort of obedience and loyalty was crucial to Hitler’s, the Nazi’s and the Third Reich’s movement in Germany and their areas of interest in their conquests. But how?… How was Hitler able to ensure that his followers maintained this level of blind obedience and loyalty? The answer to this question is highly complex and the ways in which he achieved this level of discipline and obedience was not only through fear, but also through his effort of making those who followed him blindly feel very well cared for and playing on the natural human trait of wanting to feel like one is better than another. Hitler would make sure that those who followed him and took up his ideas as their own were very well taken care of. In the scene where Professor Siletsky is trying to persuade Maria Tura into being a “spy” for the Nazis, he promises her increased rations and her comfortable life back if she would come to the Nazi’s side and proclaim her allegiance to Hitler. By  promising great things and by making people feel superior to others, Hitler was able to create an almost god-like idealization of himself that his followers looked up to so much that they would even jump from an airplane to their death with no questions asked.
