Nazi officials were members of the political and military leadership of the Nazi Party, which ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945. They were responsible for implementing the policies of Adolf Hitler, including the establishment of a totalitarian regime, aggressive expansionism, and the persecution of various groups, particularly Jews and other minorities. These officials held various positions within the government, military, and police forces, playing key roles in the administration of the state. Their actions contributed to the outbreak of World War II and the atrocities of the Holocaust, leading to the deaths of millions and significant global consequences.
