Reasons for the public support for the Nazi Party

As condition in Germany got worse, people turned once again to Hitler and the Nazi
Party. The Nazis promised to bring law and order, create jobs, unite the German
people, and make Germany strong again. Hitler promised to undo all the unpopular
things in the Treaty of Versailles. The Nazis worked hard to spread their message.
They used newspapers, radio, posters and public meetings. Josef Goebbels was in
charge of propaganda. In the 1930’s people had never been exposed to mass media
on this scale before and were influenced by it. Hitler was also a brilliant public
speaker. The Nazis also used violence: Nazi Stormtroopers broke up the meetings
of other political parties and intimidated people. In the 1930 elections, the Nazis
increased their number of seats from 12 to 107. Another elections were held in 1932,
the Nazis emerged victorious and Nazi Party became the biggest political party in
Germany. They won 230 seats and this meant that 37% of the voters supported
them.
