I.M.O. Propaganda is just another form of brainwashing, and human beings are very susceptible to this, especially as a mass. Germans had been through a very hard time previously and were recovering from this, they therefore would no doubt have believed the things they were told by the leaders they figured had got them out of economic trouble.
Germans went along with Propaganda during World War II for various reasons, including fear of punishment, strong belief in the ideology being promoted, manipulation by those in power, and limited access to alternative sources of information due to heavy censorship. Propaganda was effectively used to control public opinion and shape perceptions in support of the Nazi regime.
At the time the people of Germany were in the biggest Depression of the time. The great depression for the United states was nothing compared to the debt that the German people had to the Allied nations due to the treaty of Versailles, from WWI. To the point that the German people burned their German marks as fuel for fire to stay warm in the cold, since it was worth less than wood. At that time of need, the German people turned to the Nazi party for comfort and support. They needed someone to blame, which the Nazi party provided, and they needed to survive. They accepted a totalitarian government in exchange for a change in the economy and the German people's well being. They accepted Hitler's anti-Jewish propaganda because Hitler became their "savior" and they needed someone to blame.
Every government uses propaganda to have the citizenry more willing to achieve the desired aims of the government. This is not unique to the Nazis. What is unique to the Nazis is that their particular aim was to demonize selected population groups.
