The Military Factor in the Context of the Issue of the Social Support of Nazism in the Weimar Republic

The purpose of the article is to define the role of the military element in the formation of the social prerequisites for the supporting the National Socialist movement during the Weimar Republic in historyography. The novelty of this study lies in indentifying the nature and degree of participation of World War I veterans, servicemen, as well as members of paramilitarist organizations in the development of the NSDAP and its military wing. As a result of the study, the orientation of Nazi propaganda was identified to attract former servicemen as electoral support, to involve both broad strata of employed and representatives of the elite in leadership positions in the ranks of stormtroopers, and some features of the development of relations between the officers of the Reichswehr and the Nazi movement.
