Question

what was Hitler's ideology? explain

Answer 1

Hitler, ultimately, was an adventurer-conquerer, and much in the same tradition as Napoleon or Alexander. Ideology and the bizarre soup of ideas that was National Socialism was merely his means to an end, which was his own absolute power, personal exaltation by the masses and ability to command vast armies subordinate to his will. He was consumed with the idea of commanding the course of history, and he did so quite successfully. This was a man who in his youth lived as a tramp and imagined grand buildings that would capture the imagination of man, and later as dictator of a country he wasn't even born in, lamented the glory of ancient civilization and set upon the task of recreating it from Berlin and beyond, a city he once despised during the years of the republic. The worship of race, blood and soil were simply the ingredients, as he personally saw it, for the ultimate success of such a phallic endeavor. 

Answer 2

He was a particularly extreme German nationalist. In addition to his hatred of the Jews, which is very well known, he was a bundle of "anti-" attitudes - anti-democratic and anti-Republican. He was an ardent Social Darwinist, which means that he believed that the process of surivival of the fittest by natural selection should be artificially speeded up by the government, for example by killing 'incurables' and various 'undesirables'.

He had swallowed various (origianally Roman Catholic) conspiracy theories lock, stock and barrel about alleged Jewish and Masonic plans for world domination.

Despite the name of Nazi party, Hitler was rabidly, frantically, frenetically, hysterically anti-socialist. One reason for his anti-semitism was his view that the Jews the bearers of socialism and subversion.

Hitler had two dreams. The first was to bring together all Germans in a vast 'Greater Germany'; the seond was the expansion of Germany into the virtually 'boundless' territory of the Soviet Union. After all, Germany has briefly defeated Russia in 1917-1918, but this victory had been of no practical use while they faced defeat in western Europe. In Operation Barbarossa he gambled all - and lost disatrously.
