Why did Germany support the Nazis?

Answer 1

Answer 1

Not all Germans believed as Hitler and some even tried to help as many Jews as they could, but some supported his every decision. Some of Hitler's followers believed that if you weren't like them then you were impure and unworthy to live in the same world as they did. They supported anything that would rid the world of the impure and unworthy, even if it was harsh and violent.

Answer 2

because of the nazi Propaganda brainwashing the non-Jewish German people into believing the Jews were the cause of all their problems, and that the Jews were sub-human. Goebbels said, (if you tell a lie long enough it will become the truth).

Answer 3

Well i think because Adolf Hitler is German and he made Germany strong again and in the war he tore ( yes tore) the treaty (which is something that you sign to make an agreement) so i think that is why.

AnswerHitler was not German. He was an Austrian who became Chancellor of Germany. Not all Germans supported the Nazis, and any resistance to them was brutally crushed. Those who supported the Nazis did so primarily for the first reason. Germany was blamed for World War 1 and humiliated by the Treaty of Versailles, and the Nazis promised to make Germany strong again.

Answer 4

By the time the Jews were being hauled away the entire population of Germany was living in fear for their lives. The Gestapo and the SS had already started their arrests, interrogations and sometimes killing of the Germans. This gripping fear prevented the general populace from being able to help the Jews. The Jews had no way to help protect themselves other than fleeing the country or going into hiding.

It was an offense to aid Jews. Any form of aid resulted in imprisonment or death.

In those days people did not have guns or weapons in their homes to protect themselves from the evil SS and Gestapo. Few people could go up against automatic rifles anyhow. Those who did try to go against them were promptly killed right in public view. This cause people to be more frightened for their lives.

Answer 5

These Anti-Semitic attitudes were shared by many Germans & other Europeans at the time. There was a great deal of anti-Semitic propaganda over the decades in Europe & North America. Although a majority of Germans probably did not hold strong views on the issue, they allowed those (Nazis) that were most violently anti-Jewish to establish their political power in Germany.

Answer 6

The sad thing was that Anti-Semitism was a popular set of attitudes in Germany, so there was no rush for large segments of the population to defend the Jews. Additionally, Hitler was a very charismatic person. There was a minority of Germans dedicated to protecting Jews, Romani, and other targeted minority, but the general population were not terribly supportive of the Jews in Germany.

Answer 7

Hitler and the Nazis argued that they had a solution for the rampant inflation, mass unemployment, and general insecurity in the country. All the people would need to do would be to support the Nazis in hunting down those deemed "responsible" for this chaos. Preferring to be saved from their current situation, most Germans were willing to tolerate the vast inhumanity and cruelty visited upon the Jews, Romani, Slavs, Political Dissidents, Handicapped, Homosexual, and Mentally Insane.

Answer 8

They had anti-Semitic attitudes as well, therefore they supported Hitler, or at least did not try to get into his way.
