He portrayed the party by stating "This absurd little organization with its few members seemed to me to possess the one advantage that it had not frozen into an "organization", but left the individual opportunity for real personal activity.".
Hitler gained even more support as membership increased to hundreds and eventually thousands of communist people. Hitler gained even more popularity with his symbol of the Swastika, an emblem that many anti-Semitic political parties wore. By the end of 1920, the party had grown to about three thousand members and Hitler was voted the leader of the Nazi Party. .
In an attempt to overthrow the democratic government, Hitler was put into jail for nine months. While in jail, Hitler wrote the book, Mein Kampf, which further expressed his views and opinions. While in jail, Hitler stated, " instead of working to achieve power by an armed coup we shall have to hold our noses and enter the Reichstag against the Catholic and Marxist deputies. If outvoting them takes longer than out shooting them, at least the results will be guaranteed by their own Constitution! Any lawful process is slow. But sooner or later we shall have a majority - and after that Germany.".
After his release in 1924, Hitler had a new plan; to be elected President of Germany. His Nazi party was by now unorganized and hurting for some leadership, so Hitler hurriedly tried to put the party back together. He divided the party into 2 parts. One was dedicated to undermining and plotting to overthrow the German government that was still a democratic republic. The other half was designed to take over the government as soon as it was overthrown. .
With a strong economy, low inflation and people with jobs, all Hitler could do was step back and wait for his time to take control. It didn't take very long; on October 29, 1929 the Stock Market crashed leaving worldwide effects with companies going bankrupt, banks failing, and people losing their life savings.
