The Nazi hierarchy
-although extremely
centralized and submitted
to the Führer orders- was
not a very formalized body
of power but rather a
structure fit to respond to
the whims and prejudices of
Hitler. It had nothing to do
with skills or competences
but more with vanity,
radicalism, brutality, rabid
anti-semitism or eagerness
to please the Führer.
The list published to the
right does not pretend to be
exact or to correspond to a
formal arrangement which
can be found today in a
directory of the NSDAP but
rather to the fluctuant and
arbitrary ideas that were
propping in Hitler's mind at
a time or at another.
For instance although
Martin Bormann had very
little political power, the fact
that he was Hitler's private
Secretary made him the
second most powerful man
in the IIIrd Reich after Adolf
Hitler before Himmler who
had absolute power of life
or death over millions of
Germans, POWs and Jews.
The nazi hierarchy was the
political copycat of a gang
of mafiosi.
Naturally this list can be
argued about and some
readers will find it
inaccurate or will suggest
the introduction of some
names and the deletion of
others. They are welcomed
to do it as the Webmaster
does not pretend to hold
the truth in matters of Nazi
history.
