What made Hitler's message appealing to Germans?

Key factors include:

  • He had a sense of mission.
  • He was very different from conventional politicians; he give the impression that he wouldn't do 'sordid secret deals' with other politicians.
  • Promises of jobs.
  • Promises to restore Germany's prestige.
  • A policy of 'Germany first', 'Germany for the Germans'.
  • Seemingly uncompromising hostility to Communism.
  • His (convincingly acted) public outbursts of intense rage seemed, to many, to articulate their own frustrations and anger.

In most parts of Germany his rabid antisemitism had only limited appeal, and his advisers often urged him to tone it down in the period before he came to power.
