They didn't have a choice, either that or die. Even if some disagreed with him, they still had to join if they wanted their family to be safe. Read the book Summer of My German Soldier, by Bette Greee, it will help you a lot.

More InformationThe Nazis didn't join Hitler; he joined THEM! It's true!

Adolf Hitler was a decorated war hero, one of thousands of Germans -- and British and French and Americans and Belgians, etc. -- who had been gassed during the late stages of World War I. (It was called the "Great War" in English-speaking countries back then.)

After the armistice, Hitler bounced around among various nationalist paramilitary groups. In July 1919, still technically a corporal in the German army, he was sent to spy on a group called the DAP -- the German Workers' Party. He did so, and ended up joining the party. By 1921, Hitler was the party's leader, and it had changed its name to the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or National Socialist German Workers Party (abbreviated NSDAP). The letters of Nationalsozialistischewere used to construct the term "Nazi."

From 1921 on, Hitler ran the NSDAP, the Nazi party. He used subordinates like Rudolf Hess and Martin Bormann to run the party on his behalf, but Hitler's will became the guidance of the Nazi party early on.
