During the period leading up to World War II, there were two men who opposed each other yet had similarities in their rise to power and their leadership. The men were Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. These men were each successful in their rise to power in their countries. These two men were very comparable in the ways that they succeeded. Their success was mostly attributed to their new ideas, their ruthlessness and their politics.
Although Hitler and Stalin hated each other, the two leaders were very similar in many ways. Hitler and Stalin each rose to become the leaders of their countries, and there were three main reasons that they were able to do this.

Being able to gain Nazi party control and gain enough supporters, proves that he was an efficient user of propaganda. Hitler also had his own minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, when he became leader of the country. This proves that Hitler was a extensive user of propaganda, but Joseph Stalin was not as openly obvious with his uses of propaganda.
