Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who was one of Adolf Hitler's main influences in the 1920s?

Answer: Alfred Rosenberg

Alfred Rosenberg was intellectually influential member of the Nazi party, particularly in its foreign policy. He is considered one of the main portrayers of key aspects of Nazi ideology, including its racial theory, the persecution of the Jews, 'Lebensraum', abrogation of the Treaty of Versailles, and opposition to "degenerate" modern art.
2. To which two people did Hitler dictate his infamous "Mein Kampf" book in Landsberg prison in 1924?

Answer: Rudolf Hess and Emile Maurice

During his time in prison, Hitler underwent something of an epiphany with regard to his use of violence: from now on everything was to be ostensibly legal. Having chosen this new move, Hitler felt that he needed to make sure that the public knew what he stood for, so began to dictate a book to Hess and Maurice.
3. When did Hitler first meet his close ally Benito Mussolini?

Answer: 1934

Hitler met Mussolini with great ceremony in which Hitler was in awe of Il Duce.

7. What did Hitler describe as the 'Happiest moment of my life'?

Answer: The Anglo-German Naval Agreement of June 18th 1935

Hitler had always aimed for an alliance with Britain and this agreement was meant to be the paving stone for this.
8. Who was Hitler's foreign minister until 1936?

Answer: Konstantin von Neurath

Neurath was an old school German (not a Nazi), he was kept in place to create a peaceful German image, but once Hitler had consolidated his position the foreign minister role was reserved for Nazi party memebers.
9. Did Hitler send Ribbentrop to London with the words "Bring me the British alliance, it is what I want most of all"?

Answer: yes

Again, Hitler felt a British alliance was key to defeating his most hated enemy Russia.
10. What of these events made Hitler feel politcally defeated?

Ribbentrop was very much in the mold of his Führer.

Answer: The Anschluss, March 11th 1938

13. Where did President Roosevelt make his famous 'Quarantine speech' that for the first time openly deplored Nazi aggression?
