name change

Good article but it should be renamed Nazi Party -- any objections? Richard Jensen 08:02, 26 April 2007 (CDT)

The "National-Socialist German Workers Party" is of course not the German name of the party. Users will not find it --it is rarely used in any reference book, and so we need "Nazi Party". Specifically the official name was "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" (no hyphen), which Germans usually called NSDAP. Richard Jensen 17:17, 5 June 2007 (CDT)

Sentence change

I changed this sentence:

"The anti-Semitic ideology of the Nazi Party led the regime into the Nazi Holocaust, in which six million Jews were killed"

This is not accurate because it says the Nazis were against Jews just because they were Jews. The Nazis were against Jews because they believed they promoted communism. In Nazi publications and speechs they always equated Jews with Bolshevism. You can get translated info here:

I know this is a touchy subject but I believe we should objectively cover this issue or else nobody will learn anything.
