Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Deutschland
or ASB (English: Workers' Samaritan Foundation Germany) is a German charitable aid agency founded in 1888. History The industrial revolution of the 19th century led to a dramatic increase in accidents at work. Therefore, in 1877 the St. John's Ambulance Association of the Order of St. John was established in England. In many cities, medical schools were set up and volunteers trained. In the summer of 1881, the German surgeon Friedrich von Esmarch (1823-1908) met St John's Ambulance Association leadership in London and founded a ''Samaritan school'' on his return to Germany. Numerous notes from the ''German-Samaritan-Federation'' were subsequently issued; however, they were directed primarily to senior health officials and were inclusive of the broad mass of workers. In 1888, six carpenters in Berlin took the initiative and set up the first ''course on the First Aid in the event of a disaster'' on 29 November 1888, and founded the first column of what would become the Worke ...

Rise Of Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler's rise to power began in the newly established Weimar Republic in September 1919 when Hitler joined the '' Deutsche Arbeiterpartei'' (DAP; German Workers' Party). He rose to a place of prominence in the early years of the party. Being one of its best speakers, he was made the party leader after he threatened to otherwise leave. In 1920, the DAP renamed itself to the ''Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei'' – NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party, commonly known as the Nazi Party). Hitler chose this name to win over German workers. Despite the NSDAP being a right-wing party, it had many anti-capitalist and anti-bourgeois elements. Hitler later initiated a purge of these elements and reaffirmed the Nazi Party's pro-business stance. By 1922 Hitler's control over the party was unchallenged. In 1923, Hitler and his supporters attempted a coup to remove the government via force. This seminal event was later called the Beer Hall Putsch. Upon its fail ...
