Hitler's rise to power cannot be attributed to one event, but a mixture of factors including events happening outside Germany, the strengths of the Nazi party, and the weaknesses of other parties within Germany. Hitler used these factors to his advantage and in 1933 he legitimately gained power to become chancellor.

Hey mate here is Your answer

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. They badly sought answers for the defeat and one young lad convinced them that he had the answers.

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. Hitler got himself into a sweet spot and viewed favorably by the public.

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. You are looking for answers.

There is this young lad, who did "heroic" things in the war and who has the answers. He talks of German pride and honor. He talks about whom to blame. And you are drunk. Would you believe in Hitler? Not unsurprisingly, Hitler got standing ovation.

Stage 3: Mentoring and connections of Dietrich Eckart
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: Beer Hall Putsch - 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. German police quickly hit back expectedly. The coup failed badly and he got thrown in the prison. 

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. This is where he wrote his influential autobiography - Mein Kampf.Although it was not that well read, it "inspired" the few Germans who read.
