dc.description.abstract | The presented thesis sought to discuss the cult of personality that surrounded Adolf Hitler and was functionally part of the Führer myth during the interwar period through a sociopolitical lens. In doing so, it addressed the public image of Hitler as he transitioned from simple orator to the head of the fascist Third Reich, through the use of propaganda and charismatic authority. Hitler had tapped into a völkisch belief in a heroic leader that predated the First World War and the distrust of the Weimar Republic and the agents of democracy that had, in the mind of many Germans, stabbed them in the back and surrendered them to hostile forces at the end of the war.
