The main aims of the Hitler’s policy were :
(i) To destroy the Treaty of Versailles imposed on Germany after her defeat in World War One. Hitler felt the Treaty was unfair and most Germans supported this view.
(ii) To unite all German speakers together in one country. After World War One there were Germans living in many countries in Europe e.g., Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland. Hitler hoped that by uniting them together in one country he would create a powerful Germany or Grossdeutschland.
(iii) To expand eastwards into the East (Poland, Russia) to gain land for Germany.
(iv) Hitler protested at the fact that the Allies had not disarmed after World War and he left the disarmament conference and the League of Nations in 1933. He intensified the programme of secret rearmament.
(v) To exalt nationalism.
(vi) To advocate the rule by a great leader from a single party.
(vii) To uphold the racial supremacy of the Germans and to have hatred for the Jews.
