Abstract

The article analyzes the autobiographies of the "combat era" of the NSDAP, which made it possible to show the main motivational vectors of the Führer's "parteigenosse" - to find an answer to the question of what exactly attracted their attention to Nazism in the 1920s - at the beginning of the 1930s of the 20th century. Also, many surviving competition works were analyzed, thanks to which the main motive that influenced people's electoral party choice during the Weimar Republic (1919-1933) was highlighted. This led to the legal breakthrough of the Nazis to power. For now, it can be noted that T. Abel's monograph and primary sources from the collection of the American library of Herbert Hoover are excellent sources from the era of both the Third Reich and the Weimar Republic. The right-wing radical motivation of many early members of the Nazi Party fits well with the state of dissatisfaction with the current political situation, which is also widespread in Europe in the 21st century.
