Nazi Germany

Nazi Germany

The period from 1933 to 1945 in German history in which Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers' Party, commonly known as the Nazi Party were in power. Under Hitler's rule, Germany was transformed into a totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the state. Nazi Germany ceased to exist after the Allied Forces defeated the Wehrmacht in May 1945, thus ending World War II in Europe.
