Reorganisation of the Party 1924-28

Reorganisation of the Party 1924-28.

1. The Nazi Party was banned after the Munich Putsch. Hitler re-established the party after he was released from prison, and made himself the supreme leader.
2. By the 1920s, the German economy was beginning to stabilise and recover thanks to the work of Stresemann. As a result, support for the Nazi party declined and overturning the government through a coup no longer seem realistic. 
3. Hitler began to change tactics - he now tried to gain control through the democratic system. The Nazi party network began to extend nationwide, instead of being a regional party. Propaganda was used to promote the party's beliefs.
4. The party was relaunched in 1925, with improved finances by befriending wealthy businessmen.
5. Even with this, the Nazis still didn't have many supporters at this stage. There were fewer than 30,000 members by 1925, and the Nazis had 12 seats in the 1928 elections, compared to the 54 communists and 153 social democrats. This was soon to change, though.
