He held it together by: 1. Terror 2. Propaganda 3. Youth 4. Workforce 5. Religion 6. Racism

ANSWER

he got to this position in the 1st place because he managed to brainwash the German public into believing his idea of a great Germany by using already placed seeds of racism and propaganda(as the poster above says)

anyone who got or could get in his way he would have killed or threaten to have killed, until they were either dead and gone or so frightened they would stand down and that's how he kept it

dictators get to power with promises and lies

and always rule with fear and threats and telling everyone how they should live (hence dictator)

Hitler gained power Because the Germans were starving and were demoralized after the loss of ww1. He was the only one that managed to put people to work and improve the lives of the German people. once in power and popular the rest was just a mater of propaganda and intimidation. If you belonged to the wrong group or race or were opposed you were in mortal danger so you kept your mouth shut and pretended to belong with the mob. He worked along the lines used in the war on terror. imprisonment without trial and invasion of country's under false pretext etc.

Basically, the National Socialists under Hitler first managed to form a minority government-they only ever received 34% of the national vote. They were able to declare emergency rule when the Reichstag-the German Parliamentary building was set on fire. With this they were able to take total control of every corner of society. They were 'popular' because they got a demoralized economy and society back to work with a mass public works system. They were sucessful in quashing criticism and blaming sections of the population like Jews, Liberals, Communists etc. Free press was violently quashed and pretty soon fear sets in and everyone says 'Hitler is great' because they believe it/fear/there is no other opinion.

The only problem Hitler had was fuelling his economic expansion-he needed Natural Resources and this meant expansionist policies and that meant going after the coal in Alsace-Lorraine, iron and steele in Poland and the wheat basket of Czech Republic etc.
