How did nazi become popular in germany?
Answers
The Weimar years were extremely turbulent, with different political factions trying to get hold, it’s no surprise that governments didn’t last long and people got fed-up with politicians.
It wasn’t until the Nazis formed a strong and stable government during 1933 that the German populace got behind Hitler.
How they got famous?
The armistice was not seen as unconditional surrender by Germany but this is what it was taken as by the Allies and the terms reflected this. It imposed incredible hardship on Germans and French intransigence prevented the weak(and universally detested) central government from improving the lot of the German people. The complete breakdown of social order and the running battles between the right and left wing political party supporters made life a living hell. The army also chafed under the restrictions of Versailles and of course national pride played a huge role in the resentment of the foreign powers who it was felt (justifiably) were bent on punishing Germany ad infinitum (rejection of the US calls for easing of reparation terms)The Nationalist and Socialist parties were an unlikely match and their merger gave the a leg in both camps. They were socially acceptable to the workers while the elites saw them as a pet party they could use to control the system and maintain their position. The NAZI party propaganda struck just the right chord at the right time in Germany. They promised (and delivered in areas they had control) security, jobs and an increased prosperity. This track record was important and if a few heads got broken in the process it was par for the course in Germany at the time. For the army, the promises to repeal the Versailles restrictions was a key component of garnering at least their neutrality. The General staff never supported the NAZIs but they saw the potential gains to be had by not opposing themRemember that the NAZIs did not win a majority in the elections and had to govern in a coalition until after the Reichstag fire. They did deliver on their promises of prosperity and social order such that living standards under the NAZIS exceeded most of Europe until well into the early 40s. Germany also regained its national pride under the NAZIs and this was no small fact in their popularity.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hope it helped!
