How did
Hitler come to power?
2. A
change of tactics
Hitler
decided to stop trying to seize power and sought election by legal means.
He claimed he would have to use
democracy. His chance came after 1929. America's economy was in
trouble, so the Americans stopped lending Germany money. The German
economy collapsed.
Thousands of Germans were thrown out of work. In the election of
1932 the Nazi Party made a very attractive set of promises based on what
Hitler had written in
Mein Kampf. Hitler promised to provide jobs, sort out the economy and
make Germany proud and strong again. In July 1932 the Nazi party was
the biggest in the Reichstag, the German Parliament building. Yet in
November 1932, the Nazi vote dropped back again.
