(Redirected from Nazi Germany)
National Socialist Germany also known as the Third Reich refers to Germany during the period from 1933 to 1945, when it was governed by the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers Party), with Adolf Hitler as chancellor and, from 1934, as head of state called the Führer (Leader).
The policies pursued by Germany were race-based emphasizing strong families and a strong nation. Under the new government, Germany, from a military and territorial standpoint, became the dominant nation state in Europe by the early 1940s. After the annexation of Austria in 1938, Germany became the first united German state since the Holy Roman Empire to include Austria within its boundaries.
