People supported Hitler because he promised them what they wanted
and needed to hear. The Weimar
Republic appeared to have no idea how to solve the problems of the Depression. The
Nazis on the other hand promised to solve the problems. Hitler
promised most groups in Germany what they wanted. Hitler used the
Jews and other sections of society as scapegoats,
blaming all the problems on them. To Germans at the time Hitler
made sense, he united everyone by providing explanations for Germany's
problems.
People in Germany were
tired of their poor quality of life. Hitler promised to make
Germany proud again - it was exactly what people wanted to hear.
Hitler pledged something for every part of Germany society:
| Group |
Promise |
|
|
|
Farmers |
Higher prices for their produce - making up for all
their losses during the
Depression. |
|
|
|
Unemployed workers |
Jobs building public works such as roads and
stadiums. |
|
|
|
Middle Class |
To restore the profits of small business and the
value of savings. To end the
Communist threat. |
|
|
|
|
To all Germans he
promised to restore German honour by tearing up the hated Treaty of
Versailles and by making Germany great again. |
