An extract from the answers:
- When was the ban on the NSDAP lifted, and how did it come about?
In February 1925, Hitler convinced the Bavarian authorities to allow the Nazi party to officially reform, with him as its leader. As part of this, Hitler formalised the party by adding a Party Treasurer and Party Secretary, expanding the party’s access to funding and legislature.
- What were Gaue, and how can they be linked to Nazi Party progress?
The Gaue were regions of Germany, and the Nazi party split Gaue agents up locally to tailor the party's message to the local concerns in each place.
- Who were the Gauleiter? Use Führerprinzip when explaining.
The Gauleiter were the regional heads of each Gaue, and they reported directly to Hitler. This was part of Führerprinzip, which maintained that Hitler had to be the absolute leader of all aspects of the Nazi Party.
