Hitler was an extraordinary speaker and had the ability to convince people that he could bring them out of their misery. 1920s was a period of extreme economic hardship for Germany and they could believe anyone who could be that convincing. The German people were disoriented by the World War - I as they could never imagine Germany losing.
Even from a poor quality recording - we can get a sense of the immense hypnotic power of Hitler
The Rise of Hitler
Stage 1: World War I
Hitler had built up a status of "war hero" with an "Iron Cross" from his achievements in World War I. His rank was low, but his relative achievements were high. Thus, he reaped benefits from the war, unlike the higher level officers who got the blame for losing the war.
Stage 2: Beer Hall speeches
Following the War, Hitler went on speaking in beer halls. The drunk were his first audience. This is where he built his experience as a speaker. Put yourself in German shoes. You are hurt and ashamed by the first major defeat to your nation in over a century. You are hurt economically and psychologically.
Stage 3: Mentoring and connections of
Eckart was a famous German playwright who built up a German workers' party (later became the Nazi party). He was quite influential and connected. Eckart was also a member of an occult society that believed in the oncoming of a "German messiah" who will deliver.
When he heard a beer hall speech by Hitler, Eckart was so mesmerized that he believed Hitler was "the one". Sort of like the Matrix movie. Since then, he offered all the connections, mentoring and organizational support Hitler wanted. Hitler got further coached in public speaking and received money from wealthy donors.
Stage 4: - the failed coup and national publicity
With his strong reputation of public speaking, Hitler attracted a mass of people. And he attempted a coup in 1923. It was just a stupid thing where Hitler just marched into the Munich city hall and captured it.
The publicity of the long trial, gave Hitler a nationwide recognition. During his time in jail, Hitler got the time to build his Nazi ideas and built a strong following. People started to believe in him and he got the reputation of a person who could make great sacrifice for Germany.
German economy of 1920s
The 1920s Germany was in suffering. The World War I and the punitive restrictions on them was suffocating the Germans. The economy was completely destroyed. Inflation was in the tens of thousands of percent. Money was so worthless that kids were playing with bundles of currency notes.
German politics of 1920s
Germany didn't have a long history of democracy. Until 1919 it had an Emperor who was the head of the state. The nature of German society didn't put enough emphasis on democracy. A lot of people saw politicians and parties as irritants than an actual replacement to their emperor.
A hodgepodge of socialists and right wing nationalists were running coalition politics through the 1920s. There were no strong political leaders to speak of. This random coalition imploded in 1930, leaving a power vacuum.
Stage 5:
In 1929, the German nationalists pushed for a referendum (vote by the public) on whether Germany should continue to pay the penalties for the first World War. Although the referendum failed, Nazis got even more publicity by whipping up people's emotions (why pay money to France, when Germany herself is suffering).
Stage 6: The rise to Chancellor
Germany system has a President with strong powers and a Reichstag with weak powers. The head of the Reichstag is the Chancellor.
Hitler first tried to become the President. Hitler won the strong support of German industrialists who thought the existing politicians were clueless about the economy. Hitler lost against Hindenberg, but came quite close (winning about 35% of the votes).
After the defeat, Hitler started eyeing the chancellor. There were a number of contenders to the Chancellor of the Parliament, but none were quite strong. Hindenburg dissolved the Parliament twice in 1932.
In the meanwhile, Hitler's supporters in the industry pressurized Hindenburg into appointing Hitler as a Chancellor citing the anarchy. After much reluctance and with no alternative, Hindenburg asked Hitler (a person who he despised greatly) to take up the role of a Chancellor (second in power to the President).
Stage 7: Destroying the opposition
Although Hitler was a Chancellor, he didn't have as much power. The Communist party was still a threat. Then a key event happened. The Reichstag - German Parliament - was burned a few months after Hitler came to the power and the blame was assigned to the Communists.
