Why do Germans vote for Hitler?

Answer 1

German citizens were fond of Hitler because he reached many German people politically. Plus nobody knew that he would banish democracy and become a sworn dictator and head of the Nazi party. If they had a time machine then it would be a different story because at least they would know what was going to happen.

He was a very good politician before he went "nuts" and got power-hungry. He was not liked much by the Germans (except for the nazi extremists) after this, in fact he caused the German people to suffer tremendously during the war.

Germans are very intelligent people . They have produced more scholars than anyother nation at that time. But still they lost WWI.So their ego was hurt.The reason why they chose a stupid man as Hitler was because he was constantly helping their ego to grow .He made them believe that he can restore Germany's lost honour , hence they were deluded easilyand voted for him.

Answer 2

The biggest reason ws because of the "Treaty of Versailles" after WW1 (which led to WW2). Germany was blamed for WW1 and were forced (Mainly by the Brits and French) to sign this treaty by the Allied leaders. (Britain, France and the U.S)

If you go and read this treaty, you'll see that it was basically like the Brits and French had their foot on the Germans neck and would not let them up.

This treaty was taking everything from the Germans. Everyone lived in poverty.

So when Hitler came around and promised to liberate them the Germans were so desperate and tired of watching their families and friends starve to death that they were willing to trust anyone.

People even saw another war coming. French General Ferdinand Foch said "This is not peace, but a truce for 20 years."

"A generation that takes a beating is always followed by a generation that deals one." ~ Otto Von Bismarck.

Answer 3

They never... the most votes Hitler received was 37% (not a majority). He was Chancellor to Hindenburg and with some persuasion (and arguably dirty tactics i.e Reichstag Fire) the enabling act was put into effect on March 23 1933 in short, giving all powers to Hitler. When Hindenburg died, Hitler then became Fuhrer. Therefore, Hitler was never actually voted into power.

The 37% that did vote for Hitler also had many reasons to; promise to overturn the Treaty of Versailles, restore German pride, reduce unemployment and get them out the great depression (wall street crash) and once again allowing Germany to prosper.

Answer 4

Because they wanted to have Adolf Hitler had a leader for German

Answer 5

Because he cured the terrible unemploment, and gave the nation its dignity back, after the humiliations of World War 1.
