-The implementation of [[Adolf Hitler]]'s ideology of [[National Socialism]] was the '''German National Socialist Workers' Party''' (German: '' Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei'') Germans usually called it the  '''NSDAP''' or, in English, the '''Nazi Party'''). It was a political party that controlled Germany under Hitler from 1933 to 1945.
-"Nazi" is a short form of “Nationalsozialist,” representing the German pronunciation of the first two syllables of the word “national.” It was formed analogously with “Sozi,” the long-established nickname for the Social Democratic Party (SPD).
-Hitler took command of a small new party in 1920, renamed it the NSDAP, and built its strength through grass roots organizing and violence in the 1920s. The party stressed violent German nationalism and vehement [[antisemitism]], and attacked both Communism and the democracy of Germany at the time.
