Party Reorganisation
• The party had a flexible structure which enabled it to change according to the need of the times
• In May 1924 they made an alliance with other right wing parties and won 1.4 million votes (6.5%) in the Reichstag elections
• Following Hitlers release in 1925 the NSDAP was reformed following a poor showing in the elections (3.5%)

How did they do this?• The party was reorganised into a central bureaucratic
entity and an index of all members created
• At the party conference in 1926 Feb a new autocratic and centralised structure was discussed which stressed obedience to the Fuhrer (Fuhrerprincip) and the programme of 1920. Other Gauliter's ideas were brought into line with Hitlers
• The challenge of Gregor Strasser was also quelled by Hitler who claimed all actions had to be “legal”
• Hitler also attempted to limit the actions of the SA to appear legal. In 1926 they scaled down the role of the SA and introduced rules and sanctions for members

Also
• In 1926 the Hitler Youth and Nazi Student Association was founded
• 1927 Nuremberg Party Congress removed unsuitable Gauleiter and central bureaucracy reorganised
The result?
– 800 000 votes (2.6%) and 12 seats in Reichstag
– They did however achieve a high % of votes in certain areas ie agricultural NW Germany

This added stimulus
• October 1928- The Association for National Socialist Jurists- first professional body- followed by organisations for doctors, teachers, students. This turned the party into a mass movement and enabled the spread of propaganda
• These groups represented certain groups were the party could now spread it ideas at grassroots
• One of the most important was the AA (Agrarpolitischer Apparat) who drew in a largely dicontented peasantry to the Nazis.
• This achieved its aims in a short period of time and also dominated other groups such as the Reichslandbund

Continuing• Part of the work of the AA was to create a network of
members to spread propaganda locally, to be complimented by the work of Goebells
• They would also target certain groups into voting for the Nazis
• Nazis's successfully attratced support of the young, especially students in 1930 2/3 of their members were under 40
• Without the electoral success in the 1930s the Nazis would not have had the power to be offered power later on

National Exposure• Organisation and discipline meant that the Nazis could take
advantage of the growing opposition to the Young Plan
• The referendum of 1929 called the Freedom Law by the Reich committee for A Referendum (it failed), which Hitler joined after negotiating Nazi guarantees, gave the party massive exposure, especially to their rallies
• The impact on the electorate was immediate and the party were able to present themselves as a party on the national stage
• The Nazis were able to take advantage of the increasing polarised German politics thanks to their previous reorganisation
